Tonight’s first guest, Dallas, had both of his Bigfoot sightings at Strawberry Reservoir, in Northern Utah. He was 15, at the time and had gone to Strawberry Reservoir for a camping trip with his mom, his uncle, and his 7-month-old nephew. The second night they were there, Dallas went out looking for firewood but wound up finding something he wasn’t looking for. Or, I should say that it found him. We hope you’ll listen to him share the details of what happened that night as well as the details of his second sighting.

Tonight’s second guest, Gabe Rassi, is a Sasquatch researcher who is based in Indiana. Gabe focuses on sightings and encounters that have happened in Indiana but Indiana isn’t the only place where he’s had sightings of his own. He’s had sightings in Georgia too. On tonight’s show, not only is he going to talk about the sightings he’s had in both of those states, he’s going to talk about sightings he’s investigated too. We hope you’ll tune in and listen to him do that.

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):
Seen a bunch of run down, no horse towns with
the church at the backbone, laws and the power and
the pastoring melodies.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Coove in.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
With the bomb man rose with the roofs, run deep
beyond the nose of the busy streets, with the songs
of the South of su Then when I hear the
promp porch picking down home rhythm bringing out I Don't
Run from Banjum music.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah, my Bigfoot signings happened in Strawberry Reservoir in northern Utah.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
My name is Dallas and I was fifteen years old
when my first encounter happened. I heard about Bigfoot and
I was a little skeptical about it. But me and
my mom and my mom's middle brother and my nephew,

(01:21):
who was only seven months old at the time, went
up to Strawberry Reservoir to camp. We were driving for
a little bit and there's a place at the reservoir
called the Ladders. You can fish there. You can catch
tons of fish and that it's fun. And off to
the left there is a dirt road that you go

(01:43):
up the mountain for so long and you find your
own camping spot.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
Well, I've been up there.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Plenty of times and ever since I was a kid. Well,
one particular night, it was our second night being there.
My mom and nephew went to bed, and me and
my uncle stayed up for a little bit longer, and
I ended up chopping down a little pine tree in

(02:13):
front of my mom's tent so we can have the
fire going. Still, well, we started getting low on firewood,
and so I decided to go up behind the tent.
It was very heavily wooded area, and it was fall time,
so it was a little chilly, but not too bad.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
And I know of the animals.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Are up there, and the carnivores are up there, And
so I went up and started gathering wood, and I
started getting the sense of feeling that I was being watched.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
My blood ran cold, and the back of my.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Neck the hairs on him started standing up, and I froze,
and I started looking, and I used my flashlight to
maybe see what could be watching me. And I started
just looking everywhere, and I turned to my right and

(03:16):
there's these two big pine trees with some like bushes
in front of them that were maybe four feet tall,
and I saw a black shape and I was like, okay,
maybe it's a black bear. I'll make myself known or

(03:37):
I'll step away so I don't have this black bear
attack me. Well, all of a sudden, it stepped out
in front of the bushes, and the smell that came
off of it, it smelt like skunk and raw meat

(04:00):
that's been just rotten in the sun for days. And
this bigfoot was about ten feet tall and maybe five
hundred pounds six hundred pounds big animal.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
I started sweating and fear came over me.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
I was frozen in fear and in shock, and I
could see all the muscle underneath this animal's fur, and
I could tell that it wasn't a bear because it
didn't have ears, and the face almost looked human, but

(04:45):
not human. And it was just sitting there breathing at me,
and I could see its breath as it kept breathing,
and all of a sudden, my body told me to run,
and so I was run. I ran, and I could

(05:09):
hear this animal chasing me, the bigfoot chasing me. I
could feel the ground moving and it was grunt. It
was grunting at me, and as it was running, and
I got back into camp covered in sweat, and I
ended up tripping over my mom's tent peg and my

(05:33):
uncle ran over to me and was asking if I
was okay, and I didn't tell him nothing. All I
could do was shaken point and he looked over and
he couldn't see anything. And I stayed next to the
campfire until morning, and my mom and nephew came out

(05:55):
of a better tent and my uncle pulled my mother that
something happened to me.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
And I wasn't speaking to nobody. I wasn't speaking to
my uncle.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
I was just staring at the fire, and my mom
finally came over to me and hugged me and asked
me if I was okay, and I was shaking, and
I ended up crying, and I told her what I
ended up seeing, and she didn't.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
First off, she didn't think it was real.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
She thought maybe I was seeing things, and so she
told me to take her up to where I had
this encounter, and it was about maybe twenty maybe.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
Thirty yards away from camp, and I showed her.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
And on the ground there was two footprints, one heading
back up the mountain and one heading down where it
chased me, and there was a big what looked like
to me it was a maple leaf in the middle
of the footprint. And these footprints were about sixteen inches

(07:15):
long and maybe about four or five inches wide, big footprints.
They looked like human but bigger, And so my mother
told me not to tell anybody and to just keep
it to myself. Well, later that night, we were all

(07:42):
eating and joking around and eating s'mores and stuff around
the campfire, just like typical family does, and we were
all ready to go to bed, and I started hearing
what sounded like high pitch whistle noises, not something that

(08:03):
a human could make, but maybe like an old locomotive,
like an old train whistle. It was very loud, and
that carried on for maybe maybe a minute and a half,
and I was like, okay, maybe somebody was just whistling
in the woods, and I went inside my tent. Well

(08:28):
at this point I started hearing what I call whooping noises.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
It was made a simple noise like.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
Whoop, and it was very loud and distinctive, and so
I was like, oh no, this this thing that I
had to encounter with is going.

Speaker 5 (08:49):
To come and come and get me. It's it's going
to rip me out of my tent.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
And I got out of the tent and sat next
to where we had the fire where it was barely
burning and it was just colds pretty much.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
And so.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
At this point I I was like, Okay, my mom's there.
I could run inside her tent or something if I
see it. Well, it started making these loud, howling noises
where it sounded like it was just barely behind my tent, and.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
It sounded like it was screaming, what like really loud
and long, and my.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
Blood just ex hurtled it. I was so scared. So
I told my mom. I woke her up and I
told her can we move camp? And my mom sat
next to me for about three hours, and we woke
up my uncle and we broke down camp and went

(10:03):
down a little further down. So then maybe this thing
not We left and we made camp again. Well, morning
came and we were going down to fish that morning
down at the ladders.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
Well, the best time to fish cut throat.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
It's a type of trout that we all love to
go fishing for up there, me and my uncles and everybody.
We started driving down to it, and we all looked
to the left because we saw something standing by the
dirt road and it was down on all fours like
a black bear, and it jumped up and stared at

(10:52):
us through the headlights like it wasn't scared. And at
that point my mom and my uncle both knew what
they saw, and they they looked back at me, and
when they looked back at this huge creature, it roared

(11:13):
at us, not like a lion roar or a bear roar,
but it was like a like a woman screaming and
a and like a man being gutted at the same time.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
And it was so powerful the way that.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
It rattled our windows, like we knew what the power
of these animals had. And all of a sudden it
darted off away from the light into these bushes off
to the left of the vehicle, and we never saw

(11:51):
it after that, and we didn't dare get out of
our vehicles. We just went down to the ladders, and
that's where when we got out to fish, and we
only stayed there for maybe an hour.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
And we went back up into camp.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Well, my tent was torn to shreds our camping supplies
was thrown everywhere, and my uncle's tent ended up being
like seven to maybe eight feet up into a tree,
just mangled, and we weren't sure what to do at

(12:34):
that point, so we gathered up as much as our
stuff as we could and we jumped in my mom's
truck and we drove back into town, back into the
Strawberry and we got told there because my mom started
talking about it and that people there have had these

(12:59):
sighting of this animal up in that area, and so
we went back home and did research, and it shows
that that people have had.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Numerous of sidings.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
And I've still today, I have nightmares and I sweat
and thinking about my sightings that I had, and I
have yet to go back up there because of that.
I fear this creature. I'm not sure what it could do,

(13:42):
but I'm sure if it wanted to it it could
kill me if it wanted to. And so I believe
it was the same creature with both sidings. Even right now,
even talking about it, I haven't told anybody in eleven years.

(14:02):
I'm twenty six years old now, and I'm sweating and
my arm hair is standing up, my throat's getting dry,
and I'm beginning to shake because of this creature. I
respect it, but I fear it at the same time,

(14:24):
And to be honest, I don't want to have another
sighting or an encounter.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
To be okay with that, because these animals are no joke.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
If they want to harm a human, I believe they
can do it in a blink of an eye and
there's nothing that no one could.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Do about it.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
But at the same time, I believe it wanted me
to leave the area. I believe I was in its
territory and it was stating territory claim over that area,
and it wanted me out, And so I believe there's
more up there than just that one. I believe that

(15:14):
was a male, and if there's a male up there,
I am sure there's a female and maybe juveniles up there.
And I believe people should know of these creatures that
are up there so then.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
No one gets hurt, because it's just unreal.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
When you have a sighting of your own, no one
can tell you that they're not real, because you've seen
it or you heard it, and you know no other
animal can make that noise or look like that. And
they're just ruthless animals, they really are. They're they're intelligent,

(16:04):
and they're they make their claim very loud and clear,
and so that for me is good enough for me
to stay away and to respect it, because in the
back of my mind, I know, if I go back

(16:24):
up there, maybe it may remember me the way I smell,
or something about me it could remember, and I could
be in danger at that point by it maybe said, hey, this.

Speaker 5 (16:43):
Is my territory, get out, and now you're back.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
So maybe it'd be a good place for me not
to go back there.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
My bigfoot sightings took place in Indiana and Georgia. My
name is Gabe Brassey. I'm from Indiana and it was
twenty eighteen. Me and my ex wife, My ex wife
and I we were scouting in a hunting preserve close

(17:19):
to where we lived. And we were driving our golf
cart through there. And it was dusk, probably six seven
o'clock in the evening, and they have fire lanes cut
where it keeps the CRP separate from the woodline, one

(17:41):
for animal traffic, and so you can walk through there
and that kind of thing, and we happened to. I
drove by and I looked down one of the lanes,
and sure enough I saw a eight and a half
to nine foot tall brownish red creature walk across that

(18:07):
lane and I stopped our golf cart backed up. By
that time it was gone, but I saw enough that
I saw reddish brown hair. It was about two and
a half to three feet wide. When I say wide,

(18:27):
it was a profile, so from front to back it
was about two and a half to three feet thick.
I could only see from probably the waist up because
there was a hump between between us and it. And yeah,
that was that was my very first sighting it. And

(18:48):
the thing is, when I first saw it, I started thinking, Okay,
what else could this be? And it can't be anything else.
We don't have bears in Indiana, not this part of
Indiana anyways.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
So yeah, that was. That was my first sighting now
in the same area.

Speaker 6 (19:12):
Leading up to that, in previous years, I had had
numerous experiences in the woods when I was deer hunting.
My first The first thing that really happened was I
was sitting in my tree stand and it was right
at daybreak, so you could see shadows in the woods,

(19:33):
but you couldn't really see a lot. I'm sitting in
my tree stand and it's on the corner of a
dry creek bed and a swamp. I'm facing the swamp
and I decided to hit my butt grunt, and when
I did that, I could hear something splash in the swamp.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
So you know, I'm hunter's instinct.

Speaker 6 (19:58):
I'm getting ready, you know, because I'm thinking something coming
through the swamp, and I can hear it moving through,
and I can hear a splash, splash, So I hear
it come out of the water, and there's a there's
a thick thicket between me and the edge of the swamp.
It's probably thirty yards wide.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
And.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
I hear it come out of the swamp, and I
hear something rustling around in there. I can't see any
I can't really see anything because even in the daylight,
you can't see it through this thicket. So I'm looking
and I'm trying to see it. I'm trying to see
and I can't see anything. So I have my groun
again and I hear movement in there again and out

(20:43):
of nowhere.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
I don't know how big this was. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (20:49):
I have an idea where it came from. But I
hear something come through the air land next to my
tree and roll past my tree, and I'm thinking to myself,
what the heck was that? So, you know, I'm like, okay,
you know, it's the heat of the moment. So I
hit my grun again. It happened again, and then after

(21:12):
that it didn't happen anymore. So I didn't read more
noise and hearing more commotion in the thicket. So that
was my first real experience before my sighting. So and
that was in the same general area that I had
to siding.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
So I can only put two and two together and
think that.

Speaker 6 (21:39):
It was a sasquatch that was in the woods throwing
things at me. I don't know, I'll else to put it.
But as far as my sighting goes, like I said,
it was about two and a half to three feet
thick from front to back. The head was about oh god,
but the size of a five gallon bucket maybe, And

(22:04):
it was massive. And a couple days later I went
out to the same area because I was curious, you know,
And it took me a couple of days to process
what I had seen. So I went out and sure enough,
to where the shoulder was, there was a branch that

(22:25):
it moved when it went through and that branch was
at the shoulder about seven and a half feet, so
the head would have been another two and a half.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Feet above that. So yeah, it was, it was. It
was huge.

Speaker 6 (22:47):
And then some of the other things that I've experienced
out there.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
We found tree structures.

Speaker 6 (23:00):
Trying to think, I've got so many experiences out there,
wood knocks, tree structures, whoops, howls, But that out there,
that was the only sighting I had in that area.

(23:22):
Now fast forward to twenty twenty three, we were me
and well, my fiance and I we were hiking the.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Some trails in Georgia. I moved to Georgia to be
with her. We were.

Speaker 6 (23:46):
We did a lot of hiking in the mountains and
some of the things that we have found in the mountains, wow, wow,
that's all I can say. We found a handprint, I
found several footprints. That's it really got me, got me
going in in this whole field. That actually turned me

(24:06):
into the boots on the ground field researcher. We started
documenting these instances that we would come across. We've heard,
we've heard them speak, we've heard grunts, some wood knocks.

(24:29):
This is all in Georgia. We actually got chased out
of an area by one at one point. But my
sighting in Georgia, we were at I'm not going to
disclose the place because I want to keep them. They

(24:52):
they don't need to be disturbed anymore than they have to.
So I'm just not going to disclose the location. I'm
just going to say it was in the Appalachian Mountains
on a waterfall hike, and.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
We had started on the trail. It was in the fall,
so there was no leaves anywhere. Everything had fallen, you know.

Speaker 6 (25:13):
It was it was a cool, brisk day and we
had to go on a hike to this waterfall.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
And we start off.

Speaker 6 (25:22):
Everything's cool, you know, we're looking for signs and we're
starting to see some little some few tree breaks here
and tree breaks there, and nothing, nothing extraordinary. And I
had always given her my phone because when it comes
to taking pictures, I'm terrible.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
I can't take pictures to save my life.

Speaker 6 (25:46):
So I gave her my phone and she because she's
always a photographer, so she's got my phone and she
walks up ahead of me a little ways about ten
twenty yards, and I've been in my I've been in
the woods my whole life. So nothing really phazes me.
But all of a sudden, I got this eerie feeling

(26:09):
like I was being watched. And I stopped, and I
looked up the side of the mountain, and sure enough,
about seventy five yards away, there he stood. I can
only assume it was a male because of the size.
This thing was massive. I mean, at seventy five yards

(26:33):
it was. I could see that it was about four
and a half feet from.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Shoulder to shoulder. It was.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
Right around nine and a half to ten feet tall,
reddish brown, long, reddish brown hair, and the head on
this thing was just like the one I saw in Indiana.
It was the size of a five gallon bucket. That's
the only way I noticed describe it.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
It was. It didn't really have a neck, the muscles
from I guess it'd be the trap muscles.

Speaker 6 (27:11):
It just went from probably below it's ear down to
the shoulder on both sides, and the sun was at
its back, so I could I couldn't see any facial
details because of the sun.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
But there was no mistake in this thing. It was.
It was huge, and.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
Him and I, because I'm assuming it's a mail, we
stood and stared at each other for ten to twenty
seconds at least, it felt like a lifetime.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
And I finally had.

Speaker 6 (27:47):
I finally was able to break the stair between us,
and I looked at her and I said, hey.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Come here.

Speaker 6 (27:55):
And by the time I looked back, which was probably
three seconds, it was gone, gone in a flash. No sound,
no no trees breaking, no sticks, no leaves, nothing, just gone.
And she came back over and I was shaken. I
was shaking like a leaf. And she says, what's going on?

(28:16):
What you know? She was She was concerned because she knows,
you know, she knows how how I am in the woods,
and it rattled her. And then I finally had calmed
myself down to tell her what I had seen.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
And she's like, okay, and.

Speaker 6 (28:32):
She's she's the only one that can call me down
when I get like that. So she got me calmed down.
We went on to finish our hike. We went to
the waterfall. I and while we're sitting there at the waterfall,
we weren't alone. I could I could sense that they
were there. And she's very sensitive to this stuff and

(28:55):
she could sense it as well. And she stopped and
she looks at me and she says, there's more than
just the one.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
They said, Yeah, that's what I'm I'm thinking.

Speaker 6 (29:06):
So we sat there for probably a half hour just
listening and you know, paying attention to what's going on
around us, and we start hiking out. Whiles we're hiking out,
we can actually hear them. There's two of them, one
on each side of the trail, and we can't see them,

(29:30):
but we can hear them.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
And when we would walk, they would walk. When we stopped,
they stopped.

Speaker 6 (29:37):
When we started to come up to more hikers coming in,
when we got to where we passed them, they completely
stopped and we were almost at the trailhead, so they
flanked us all the way out of it that area.
And let me tell you, if you've never had that experience,

(29:58):
it's a trip.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
It is, it is, it'll blow your mind. And then.

Speaker 6 (30:07):
There was another time in Georgia that we hiked into
a waterfall. This was a really short hike. It was
only like a quarter mile in and we get in there,
we get to the waterfall and it was like something
you'd see at any end of Jones. There's tall shale cliffs,

(30:27):
the waterfall's coming down, it's all overgrown. And this was
in this in the late spring, so everything's greening up
and coming around, and uh, we're just enjoying it.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
You know, we're.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
Checking things out and you know, looking for whatever we
can find. And I'm off doing looking at the at
something and like I, like I said before, she's pretty
sensitive to this kind of thing. And she comes up
to me and she says, I'm not very good. Something's wrong.
She said, I'm starting to get a headache and I
feel nauseous. Well right then and there, I it triggered

(31:08):
something in me, and I.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Said, okay, let's it. Let's go. So we start hiking out.

Speaker 6 (31:14):
And as we're hiking out, you know, we're not running,
but we're moving at a brisk pace because I know
something's up. And as we start moving out, I can
hear heavy, heavy, heavy footfalls behind us, and they're getting closer.
They're getting closer and closer. And I said, okay, just go.
So she takes well, before that, I've we always had.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Fruit with us.

Speaker 6 (31:41):
We would leave offerings or it would be a snack
for us, you know, just just whatever.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
So I stopped. I had her stop, I grabbed, I unzipped.

Speaker 6 (31:49):
Her backpack, got the apple out, and then I told her,
I said just go, So that's when she took off.
I threw the apple back as far as I could
throw it, and then all of a sudden, the footfalls
just stopped, and the further we got away. When we
got when we finally got back to the car, she

(32:10):
started feeling better. And I honestly believed that she got
hit by infrasound.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
That's just my opinion. That's my take on it.

Speaker 6 (32:24):
Some of the other experiences that we've had and that
we had in Georgia, we we were hiking in on
a very remote trail. I mean, this trail was there,
it was at the top of a mountain, and I
couldn't find the trailhead. I couldn't find it at all.

(32:48):
And you know, her and I were looking, and we're looking,
and we're using all trails and we can't find it.
You know, we think we're closed, but it's it's like
a game trail pretty much. And the weirdest thing happens
out of nowhere. These two young kids pop.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Up out of nowhere. We have no idea where they
came from.

Speaker 6 (33:08):
As far as we know. We had to take a
forest service road to get to this trail. So that's
how remote was. I mean, it was a dirt road
going upside of a mountain. Pretty sketchy. So we get
there and like I said, these two kids pop up
and the one kid the They were in there, late teens,

(33:31):
early twenties.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
It was a.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Guy and his girlfriend. I'm assuming.

Speaker 6 (33:39):
But the weird part is where did they come from.
We have no idea where they came from. And he
walks up to us and he's like, can you guys
find a trailhead. I'm like, no, we can't find it.
He's like, all right, just follow me. I have it
on my All Trails. Well it's the same all Trails
app that I have, because I looked at his phone

(34:00):
and it was the exact same one. I couldn't find
it on mine. He had it on his. So we
start following them. Boom takes us right to the trailhead. Okay,
so that was the last time we saw them. They
took off. We didn't hear them, we didn't see him.
They just took off down the trail and they were gone.

(34:23):
So we start going down this trail and like I said,
it's a game trail. It's pretty much a game trail.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Once in a.

Speaker 6 (34:32):
While you'll see a tree marker. But other than that,
I was if I didn't have any hunting and tracking experience,
we probably would have got lost in the mountains up there.
That was pretty That was pretty sketchy. So we're hiking.
We're about half mile in and I'm like, you know

(34:52):
what this is getting ridiculous. I looked at her and
I said, let's just stop because the river is next
to us as we're hiking. And I said, as long
as we can stay where the river is, we'll be fine.
So we get to this spot that looks like, you know,
people have gone down and it's kind of a beachy

(35:13):
area by the river. And I'm like, let's just go
down here and let's just chill and relax. You know,
do you really want to see the waterfall? We have
no idea how far it is, you know, it could
be another hour hike. And I said, let's just let's
just come down here and let's just do our thing.
Chill out, relax.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
You know.

Speaker 6 (35:34):
I always took a cigar and I and she liked
to play in the water and swim and do that
kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
So she's on the other side of the river.

Speaker 6 (35:46):
And I'm actually sitting on a dead fall smoking a cigar,
and there's like a small waterfall and she's sitting in
the waterfall and she's just having a good time, you know,
and I'm I'm it's it's it's a realize it's really cool.
And all of a sudden, out of nowhere, from where
she is, directly across from me, I heard the deepest

(36:09):
guttural grunt. It rattled my chest and she just stops
and she looks at me across the river and she's
she's like, gives me this look like did you hear that?
And I just shook my head because we can't really
hear each other over the water without yelling. And I,

(36:31):
you know, I gave her the signal to just you know,
put my hands down, just be calm, just relax, because
I didn't want her to freak out.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
And then the next thing, you know, probably.

Speaker 6 (36:45):
Ten yards away, ten twenty yards away from where she
is in the water, up on shore, up on the bank,
you could hear chatter. It sounded like if you've ever
heard the Sierra sounds. It almost sounded like that, but
not as deep, but like the Samurai sounds, I guess
is more like it. If you've ever heard the samurai sounds,

(37:07):
it sounded like that you could hear it, but you couldn't.
It was their language, you couldn't make it out. And
then about thirty yards on the other side to my
left a response, so there was actually three of them
and they were communicating to each other. My belief is

(37:29):
that the grunt that I heard was he was the parent,
either the father or the mother. And then the two
chattering were juveniles that were just you know, hanging out
and playing and doing their thing, and we show up

(37:51):
and Mom wasn't happy, so she gave out a grunt
to let them know, you know, what's going on, or
to let us know, all right, you're not welcome here,
you need to leave.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Well, that's when.

Speaker 6 (38:03):
It gets weird, because, like I said before, she's pretty
sensitive to this thing, this kind of thing, and she
just stopped and she was like in a daze. And
it wasn't until after she gets out of the water,
you know, all this is transpired. All of about ten

(38:25):
minutes time. All this transpires and she's she comes back
over and she's you know, she's notably shaken, not too bad,
but she's a little freaked out. And you know, we're talking,
and I'm like, so when you just froze, I said,
what happened? And she told me that she could hear

(38:47):
them talking in her head. They were they were talking
telepathically to each other and she could pick up on
it and she could hear what they were saying, and
she started to respond. And that's when they were, like,
she said, they they started to freak out because she

(39:10):
could actually understand what they were saying.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
So that was.

Speaker 6 (39:19):
That was kind of trippy, she said, they they were
freaking out. They were they were just curious on how
she could understand what they were saying, and they were
asking her how she knew, and all she could tell
them was she had no idea, She just knew.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
So, yeah, that that happened.

Speaker 6 (39:40):
Just a lot of like I said, a lot of
tree knocks in Georgia. We'd be on on trails and
hikes and I found a handprint that was that was massive.
I mean I got pretty good sized hands and it
just dwarfed my hand that was going up the side
of them mountain. And it wasn't just a handprint. We

(40:02):
found some tree breakes. We found a small sapling that
was broken and twisted, which can only be done with thumbs.
All kinds of things down in Georgia, in the in
the Appalachian Mountains.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
So one of the things in Indiana that's happened that
happened was where we lived. We lived in a small
a small trailer park.

Speaker 6 (40:34):
It was connected to a swamp, and that swamp was
connected to the hunting preserve that I hunted.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
Well, this was in the fall, and.

Speaker 6 (40:48):
My extual wife was outside, she was having a smoke,
and she stuck her head inside and she says, you
need to come out here and listen to this. And
I'm thinking, all right, whatever, So I get up and
I go out there, and coming from the swamp, we
could hear screams and it I looked up native animals

(41:13):
in Indiana that their sounds, and.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
The it was a fox screams.

Speaker 6 (41:23):
We do have some bobcats here, but the scream that
we both heard was a lot different than a bobcat
or a fox. So I can honestly say I think
that there was they were.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
In the swamp.

Speaker 6 (41:44):
Then it was probably God twenty twenty. I'm sitting at
home and it's probably two o'clock in the morning, and
I'm sitting up watching TV and I have at the time,
I had a deer head and two fish hanging on

(42:05):
the wall. Now, if anyone's familiar with a mobile home,
you know that the tops of the windows are really high,
so you know they're probably twelve feet off the ground.
So I'm sitting there and all of a sudden, I
hear a big bang on the side of our trailer,

(42:29):
and I'm thinking, oh my god, what was that. So
I stick my head outside and I look around. It's
not windy, it's I can't think of anything that would
cause this, so I'm like, all right, whatever, So I
go and I sit back down, and as soon as
I sit down, bang, And where it hit was right

(42:52):
above right where my deer was, and it moved that
whole deerhead.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
I could just I watched it move and.

Speaker 6 (42:58):
I can hear it bang against the wall. So I
don't know if they had been watching me in the
woods and had my scent or what, but I honestly
believed that they had followed me home and we're checking

(43:20):
out my.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Place.

Speaker 6 (43:23):
And I talked to one of my other research buddies
and his theory on this, because I was telling him
about it, and His theory is he kind of wondered
if they were walking around my trailer and they happened
to look in the window and saw the deer hanging
on the wall, and that may have caused them to

(43:46):
go over and try to knock it off the wall
and get it out of there. Is why they hit
it at the side of the trailer. Now, whether that's
true or not, I don't know, but to me, it
kind of makes sense. You know, if they see one
of their prey items or maybe a fellow wood mate

(44:09):
woods mate, I guess you could call it somewhere that
is not supposed to be, they want to get it
out of there, So I guess maybe that that's a possibility. Oh,
there was the area that we found our handprint. We

(44:34):
went back to this we found the handprint, and we
went and saw the waterfall, and we're walking out, we're
hiking out and the This isn't Bigfoot related, but this
is paranormal related.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
I guess it's on the same things. I guess you
could say.

Speaker 7 (44:53):
But it was a wet, hazy, drill, dreary day when
we were on this hike and.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
We're on our way out, and we'd been in the in.

Speaker 6 (45:07):
This woods for god, two three four hours, probably just
soaking it up, and we're on her way out and
she starts getting a.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
Really bad, bad feeling.

Speaker 6 (45:22):
Like it's hard to explain without going into great detail
because I don't want to, you know, expose too much.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
About that with her, but let's just put it this way.

Speaker 6 (45:36):
She wanted to do some bad things to herself, and
once we got out of the woods, she was fine,
and I just kind of.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
I was kind of I chalked it up as you know,
maybe it was just I don't know.

Speaker 6 (45:54):
So we decided about a year later, we decided to
go back and check this place out. Well, same scenario.
We were there about two three four hours, we're on
our way out, but this time it got me. I
started feeling the bad energy.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
It was. I don't know if it's the woods that's
haunted or cursed.

Speaker 6 (46:20):
Or what, but her and I both vowed that we'd
never go back there because it's just the bad things
that happened there. And but the bad thing about that
is they're in there, so I don't know if it's
if it could be a bad plan that is just
doesn't want people to realize that they're there. And we

(46:46):
realize that they're there and they don't want us to
come back and they just want to keep their peace.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
I don't know that one was kind of that one
was that was scary.

Speaker 6 (46:57):
That was really scary because you know, we were we
were affected by things that we didn't understand. So you know,
as far as the bigfoot sasquatch thing, you can kind
of understand that. But when something gets in your head
and starts messing around, that's something you can't understand.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
So trying to think some other things.

Speaker 6 (47:26):
Oh, there was another time we were we were up
in uh, north North Georgia, up by South Carolina North
Carolina border up there, and we were we were on
a trail.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
We decided to go on this trail and this this
area was kind of there was an old covered bridge that.

Speaker 6 (47:49):
Was abandoned and falling apart, and you know, you had
to kind of.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
Climb down to.

Speaker 6 (47:57):
Get across the water to get to the trail, and
it was kind of it was kind of weird. And
we started down this trail and there's an arched tree
over the trail, just one tree, it was arched over
the trail and I'm I'm looking at that and as

(48:18):
soon as as soon as we get started getting close
to it, the whole energy in that that area changed.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
And we got about thirty yards.

Speaker 6 (48:29):
From it, and we both just stopped and we said, no,
we're not going any further. We're not supposed to go
past that arch, so we're not gonna And so we
turned around, you know, we started walking back and we're looking.
We're looking up in the woods and there's like a
valley down where the like a I guess you could

(48:50):
call it like a runoff, where the water runs down
into the river into the creek.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
And I started getting a weird.

Speaker 6 (49:01):
Feeling down there, and I'm like, no, we're not going
to go down there either. So we look at the
other side, and the other side had tree brakes, and
and she's taking pictures at all this and all the
pictures are perfect. Every single picture she takes is perfect
except one. And she probably took fifty pictures that day

(49:22):
with my phone, and I still have it on my phone,
and for some reason, this one picture is blurry.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
Now.

Speaker 6 (49:33):
The only thing you can really make out in this
picture is about forty yards off the trail. There's two
trees in an ax That's the only thing you can
make out in that picture, the picture before it, perfect,
picture after it, perfect, every other picture on that she
took that day, perfect, just that one, which kind of

(49:54):
leads me to believe that there's something in that picture
that we're not supposed to see.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
So I don't know if something was watching us at
that time that we weren't.

Speaker 6 (50:06):
Supposed to see or what, but that one was that
was kind of creepy. Now that's the only in that area.
That's the only thing we ever had happened. We didn't
really other than the energy changing in the woods when
we got close to the arch, everything else was pretty normal,
you know. We didn't really feel intimidated, didn't feel scared,

(50:30):
didn't feel anything else just that area, and once we
got once we turned around and started walking back out,
everything was fine. So I don't know if there you know,
if that was our are signed to not go.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
Any further, but that's what we took it, as.

Speaker 6 (50:48):
You know, And a lot of people would have just
been like, oh, look there's a tree across there, wouldn't
even have thought twice about it, and it just kept going.
But with my experience and seeing the things that I've
seen and things.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
That i've heard.

Speaker 6 (51:04):
Yeah, that was a that was a no brainer for me.
That that pretty much I knew what was going on there. Yeah,
that's pretty much all I've got right now.

Speaker 8 (51:14):
Well, that's it for tonight show. If you've had a
big foot siding and would like to be a guest,
please go to my bigfoot Siding dot com and let

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
