I Never Expected to See One in Broad Daylight - My Bigfoot Sighting Episode 124

Hey, you there, thanks for tuning in. You're ready for another episode
of My big Foot Sighting. All right, then let's do this. Seen
a bunch of run down, no horse towns where the church is the backbonels
and the bow and the fasting melodies cove in with the bone man rose by
the roots, run deep beyond the nose of the busy streets with the songs
of the South of s Then and I hear the prompt porch picking down home
rhythm bringing out I Don't Run from Banjung music. Yeah. If you'd like

my Bigfoot Sighting dot com. My Bigfoot siding happened in central Utah. Now
you have to understand this has been several years ago. I was a teenager,
probably, but we were on a family vacation and I was old enough
to drive, and my dad was in the front seat. We were in
a pickup truck and my mom was in the back sleeping in the camper,
and we were headed west into either Brigham City or Ogden, I don't exactly
remember which, but we were on a four lane divided highway and like I
said, I was headed westbound and it was daylight still on this four lane
divided highway. There was a railroad track on the left hand side, which
should have been the south and this was all at that time in that area
where the road was was flat and open. You could see for quite a
ways the woods. We were up around the south edge of the road and
there was woods to the north, but the actual part of the highway it
was a particularly flat stretch of that road, which is not particularly flat.
It's a pretty windy road from the mountains down Ogden and we were planning on
going into Ogden that night to camp, so you know, we were headed
that direction. It was about four in the afternoon because it was still daylight
enough you could see. I mean it was daylight. It was summertime,
probably July give or take. And like I said, we were just on
this family vacation Tudland and long and out of the right hand side of the
road, which should have been the north this creature walks out into the road,
and I mean I hit the brakes pretty hard because I didn't expect something
walking out of the trees onto the road where I was driving, and I
kind of notion to my father, I, you know, like pointed look,
and this large creature steps out onto the road. And this was probably
six foot something. You know, at the time, I didn't have any
way to judge it, but it was a big, pretty big creature.
And his hair was gray. You could tell it was had like darker colors
underneath it, but it was kind of a light gray color all over.
And the thing that's astonished me the most is it's walking across this road.
It's not in a hurry, but his strides were so big that you know,
where you and I might take two or three or four steps to get
across one lane of traffic. I think he made two to get along across
one lane, two more to get across the second lane of the road I
was on. He went down into the media and I say, he I,
you know, I don't know, because he was sideways to me,
but down through the median, across the other two lanes of traffic, down
the embankment, across the railroad tracks, and then went into the woods.
And this whole time we were able to watch him. And I hit the
brakes hard enough that I startled my mom. She was mad because she thought
I was driving like an idiot. But to see this walk across the road
in front of you and broad daylight was startling, to say the least.
And to make it even more unique, he turned and looked right at us.
Now I'm not absolutely positive how far initially he was away, but you
know, we were still moving right at him. But when he turned and
looked at us, I was so stunned because his face looked so human.
It surprised me. It wasn't the ape like face on a lot of things
you see, and the face wasn't covered with hair. His face was skinned,
And when it turned and looked, this face was so uniquely human that
I think that was the thing that has caught me all these years, because
it looked so humid in the face, but yet everything else it was.
His body was totally covered with hair, The head didn't seem peaked, it
was more rounded. And the ears I couldn't see them, but you could
see that, you know, the bigger neck, the broad shoulders, and
the arms that were long down below the waist, longer than a normal human
being. But he was in a full stride, the legs heavy and thick.
The biggest thing is, like I said, he was sideways to me
and walking across in front of me. But the thing that I remember the
most was this gray hair and that face. The rest of it kind of
went out of the way, because you know, you're stunned. You're looking
at this and he's walking across the road in front of you. And we
followed him visually all the way across the median, down the embankment, across
the railroad track into the woods. And he was never in a hurry.
He didn't run, but he walked upright, just like any human would,
but with bigger strides, incredibly big strides, and very unhurried, not the
least bit concerned. And there wasn't really any other traffic out there at the
time, so he wasn't having to dodge traffic. But you know, you
see this large, upright creature with hair from top to bottom except on the
face, and then this human looking face that just practically period right through you
as you are looking at it. So the whole thing was in daylight,
and I turned to my father and because I I don't think either one of
us spoke until he was out of sight, and at the last little bit.
I'm probably driving parallel or right up to the edge where he went across,
and like I said, I could see him go completely down and into
the woods. And I turned to my father and I said, you saw
that, right, And he said I saw it, and that was all
that was said. I mean, I think we were both just captivated by
this thing we were seeing. Later on, when we got to our destination,
my mom was still mad at me, and she was griping because she
thought that I was driving like an idiot, and she was yelling at me,
and I'm like, you don't understand, you don't understand what we saw,
and we're trying to explain to her, and even though she was in
the truck with us, she didn't believe us because it was like there's two
of us sitting her saying, look what we saw. She never saw it,
but she was in the back of the camper and couldn't see out the
windows where we could see. There wasn't much said about it between my father
and I. Even after that, hardly anything was ever said. But other
than that little few exchanges right there in the seat, you saw that,
right, Yeah, I saw that. That's about all that was ever said,
you had to trying to explain to my mom. You remember the picture.
She'd had a subscription to believe it was National Wildlife magazine, And when
the Patterson film came out, there was a clip of that in that magazine
years ago, and that was my first encounter was seeing something like that,
and ever since then, I've always been fascinated with it. In fact,
I held on to that magazine for years. I don't know where it went
now, but seeing that original Patterson film, I was just like, wow,
you know, look at this thing. Well, the one I saw
was different and then it didn't seem to have breast, it wasn't quite as
heavy as that one, and the fur was gray and not black. But
I've always been fascinated with bigfoot since then, and the chance to see one
was just beyond my wildest imagination. I never expected to see one. At
that time. There wasn't a lot of sightings that people would talk about.
In fact, to even say that you had seen one was almost anathema.
People just they didn't want to even hear about it. Now it's a little
bit more common. But then, and I at the time was probably sixteen
at the most to have this thing walk out in front of you in broad
daylight was not only just awe inspiring, it was frightening a little bit.
But it was totally unbelievable at the same time, because you don't expect to
see one. Of course, if you were expecting, it wouldn't be the
same thing. But he came out and you see him in broad daylight,
and you know, you're just flabbergacid. So as I think about this particular
one, I said, you could see the bulk in the shoulders and the
body. He was obviously very, very thick strong. I do remember the
legs were you know, like I said, he was walking up right,
a little bit more bent at the knees than maybe a human would walk,
but muscular and thick. But he had the same stride as far as the
arms swinging, the body moving like a human would. The only difference,
like I said, was just to have him turn and look at you with
this unreal human face. The thing that I remember, it seemed kind of
odd at the time, but he didn't have the flat monkey ate gorilla knows
that I would have thought it had a little bit more human feet, even
in the face. And even though I couldn't get close enough to see the
color of his eyes. It looked like he was just practically peering right through
us. No sound, not a thing. I'm not sure it could have
hurt it very well anyway, because of the noise of the traffic, but
it just kind of stared us down for a few minutes as he walked pie
and then he as he walked on through the median, he turned his head,
and the rest of it was just looking at this muscular creature walking across
the rest of the roads and into the woods. Didn't seem like he could
have cared that we were even there, other than when he turned and looked,
and it almost I mean, you had no choice but to hit the
brakes, but the look was enough to say, I see you. I'm
not worried about you. He was obviously looking at traffic and just went right
across in front of me. Now, like I said, since I was
a young kid and saw that initial magazine, I would have been really really
young when they original Patterson film was released, so this would have been years
later. But even after that, there's always been it seems like something going
on of interest around me, and even where I live now, there's activity
out here that's just unreal. But even when I was younger, there were
several things that were going on. One place that I worked when I was
younger, and this would have been back in the Ozarks. I was working
at a horse ranch of all things. And I had a young kid that
was helping me in this horse ranch, and we were grooming these horses every
day, and we were just taking care of the animals as a rule.
So we were always talking amongst us. And he was quite a bit younger,
he was like probably ten or twelve. And I don't know how the
topic came up, but he said he told me. He says one night
where he lived, which was right over the hill from where we were working,
and I would take him home occasionally, he said that something came crashing
through the woods. And I asked him, I said, what are you
talking about? And he said, when they were him and his mom lived
in this mobile home down in this wooded area. He said, something came
crashing through the woods. You could hear it. And he said it got
up to our trailer and you could hear it outside and it was shaking the
trailer. He said, you could hear it and it scared him and his
mom very badly, and whatever was out there, they never saw it,
but they heard it, and it was actually rocking this mobile home that they
were in. And I asked him a few questions about it. I said,
did you see it? And he said no, they could hear it
out there making noises and some kind of animal noises. He didn't really describe
him, but he said the next day they went out after it left,
it crashed through the woods the other way, and he said the trees were
just broken over. And this kid was an honest little kid. I mean,
there was no reason for him to lie to me. And it came
out of nowhere, this particular story he was telling me, and that is
so weird. So the next time I took him home, he was pointing
out where this thing came through the woods and then the way it left,
and he said that the trees were all broken. And that was my first
encounter with something close to home, at least with his story, and I
thought, wow, that's kind of interesting. So he didn't have any more
to say, didn't say they'd found any evidence other than the rusted trees and
this thing rocking their trailer while they're in it. So when I was in
college in the same area, I had a chance to go out and I
was doing research for a paper and I was talking to some of the Native
Americans in the area, and I was talking to this lady and she was
telling me a lot of the old stories of the natives in that area,
the different things about different people and things they can do. And I asked
her if they'd ever we lived in an area along there was a river that
went through there, and I said something about have you ever heard of a
bigfoot in that area? And she called it a sasquatch instead of a bigfoot,
and she said they see them occasionally. He said they smell them,
and I kind of asked her a little more and she said, oh,
yeah, they stink terribly bad. And she said that they see them and
they leave them alone. They kind of they don't bother them. But yeah,
she said they're down on the Shoal Creek and that was the river that
came through that area, and she said they see them occasionally. She didn't
elaborate much more about it, but I thought, well, that's kind of
interesting. That's not too far from where I lived at the time, and
I thought, well, I've never seen one or heard one down there,
but you know, that's nice to know that they did. So fast forward
a few years and not much else was going on until I moved into Arizona,
and wow, the activity out here is ridiculous. I mean, you
wouldn't think of all places, everybody thinks of Arizona as a sandy desert area
with cactus, not where I live. I live in one of the mountain
ranges, and there are mountains out here, there are pine trees, it
snows, in fact, it's cold today, and there's areas out here that
are just still wilderness because there's not that much population in a lot of these
areas. And I'm around some more Native American reservations, and so you get
into these areas because the Native Americans have a whole different idea and they have
a whole different take on what these creatures are, which I'll explain in a
minute. But one of the places that I worked was on the Apache,
one of the Apache reservations, and several of the police officers that because I
was working in emergency medical services, and you get to know a lot of
the police officers because you're working side by side quite often. And mind you,
this area is beautiful. A lot of people don't understand that there's some
places out here that are just breathtaking, and the White Mountains of Arizona are
one of those places. There's mountain ranges and canyons, and it's covered with
pine trees and forests. There's wild animals of all kinds, elk and deer
and turkeys. It's a beautiful place. Mountains and streams. Not what most
people think of Arizona. Well, this reservation, when you drive around and
work around out there, this one officer said something about, well, they
have these ceremonies a lot of times, especially the older generation, had a
lot of ceremonies for the men and the women, a coming of age ceremony
they call the sunrise dance, and the men would have theirs off in a
different area than the women. And this one guy that I was working with,
he said, my son rise dance was down in here, he said,
but they don't do that anymore. And I asked him why, and
he said there were too many things out there, and he didn't quite specify.
But later on I had another officer tell me that we were told not
to go down on this one area where there was another river, because he
said, the boogeyman will get you. And I said, what's the boogeyman?
He said, you'll find out. Well, I found out later in
this same area there was an officer on troll a woman, and this call
came in that there was a prowler out behind this house. So she goes
down in this area and she's going to zip up into the driveway and catch
this prowler behind these people's house. And this of course was at night.
So as she zips up in there, he comes face to face with a
bigfoot and it had orange hair, kind of brownish orange hair. Because some
of the hair got left in the barberar fences, it took off and they
were able to gather up some of that hair, and it scared her so
bad she said she would never work the night shift again. Now this made
the newspaper back in this area, and the other officer that I had been
talking to who told me about the Boogeyman, I happened to bump into him
and I said, what do you think about this? And we both know
this lady. She's very honest, you know, and would not have made
this up. In the family had actually called it in anyway. He said,
you remember when I told you about the Boogeyman. I go, yeah,
he said, that's what I'm talking about. So they had had stories
in their lore and their legends about the Boogeyman for years, when in fact
it was these creatures they were in that area. They we don't talk about
them, these particular tribes of apaches. They don't like notoriety, and so
they didn't talk about them at all. They wouldn't talk about what they really
were. But that as you learn and find out that they had been told
that by this young man telling me, he says, my mother and dad
told him that when they would go into the woods, to take two rocks
and pop them together every so often to let them know that you're friendly.
So instead of woodnocks, they were using rocks, and they were popping rocks
together to let the bigfoot in that area know that it was okay. They
were friendly, They knew what they were, and they didn't get bothered by
anything, and there were not hardly any stories among them because they didn't want
the notorieting. Well, then now that I'm starting to hear these stories,
then I started hearing more in another area of the reservation, and it was
pretty close to the same time with your talking. Within less than a week
that this woman, this police officer saw this one, they saw one very
similar to it about probably fifteen miles away in another community. It came across
the road and some other people saw it, and then there was another sighting
shortly thereafter. I really believe it was probably the same one moving around,
because I do believe they'd cover a lot of ground with the stride. But
this was all up in an area where there's plenty of game, plenty of
fishing if they wanted plenty of cover, there was so much thick woods that
you'd be hard pressed to find anything. So one of the sightings at the
same time, about the same time, was a former police investigator and another
deputy sheriff that were driving on the road headed to another location to teach a
class, and they saw it also. And this was all about the same
week or two weeks in there and in the same general area. So it
turns out there was more activity up there than I knew at the time.
It was quite active actually, And then to find out from the natives in
the area that this was common that they saw them quite regularly, but they
didn't talk about them. And this was one of the things that the Apaches
would not do, is talk about them. Yet they have been there for
generations. From the way that this guy finally told me. Fast forward a
few more years, I'm up in another part of this area, but I'm
not on the Apache reservation anymore. I'm now up on the Navajo Reservation,
which is a huge reservation in northeast Arizona. But the situation is very similar.
There's a lot more open areas, but there's also a lot of wooded
areas. But this population is still sparse. They were the Apaches gathered in
communities. The Navajo are spread out in small, small communities, but outlying
homes and traditional the hogons and this type thing out in the area in this
whole huge reservation, but the population is still very sparse because it is so
big that people are spread out. But because of that, there's a lot
of sightings that may not even go spoken about, but they are out there.
I had a gentleman that I knew from church who said that in this
area north of where I work, two guys had been up on a roof
and it had snowed the night before, and they were up there trying to
finish getting this roof on. And this was up in an area called sy
Lee, and these guys were on the roof and they looked over and there
were tracks around this house that they were working on that they had not seen.
And obviously it had snowed overnight, so they weren't there the day before.
And when they got down they realized these were Bigfoot tracks. Now,
the interesting thing about out here, the game and fish rangers for the tribe,
they collect stories about the Bigfoot in this area. They had a program
not that long ago at the headquarters in wind Rock. They had an actual
i think video shows and they talked about the different sightings in the Navajo Reservation,
which covers into New Mexico, Utah, and the little edge of Colorado
and then most of it's in Arizona. So I mean this was common knowledge
out here. They see lots of these sidings. They will have people call
them in and they will go check on them and investigate the sightings. If
there's tracks, they will usually take pictures of them. But it's common knowledge
on the Navo Reservation that bigfoot are out here. The difference is the way
that people think about the Bigfoot. They believe that they're spiritual creature there to
be revered. They're not to be afraid of them, but they are to
be held kind of in high regard. They don't haunt them by any means,
but they are of course, they're like anybody else. If they see
one, they'll probably be frightened. But the fact that they actually hold them
in a different sort of esteem than anybody else would is kind of fascinating to
me. But the story goes that during the Navajo long Walk, which is
very similar to the Cherokee Trailer tears, the Navajos were pushed out and taken
to Boscredondo Fort in New Mexico, and during that time that a lot of
the children they went and hit when they saw this. Soldiers come and the
families told them to run and hide. So there was a lot of kids
that were left behind, and the adults were taken away the ones that got
caught, and so there was a lot of these children that were left behind.
And the story goes that there were some children that were up in this
one area on a mountain, and the Bigfoot would come and bring them food
and take care of them, and if one of them was sick, they
would take the child, and the Bigfoot would take the child and leave and
then bring them back a month or two weeks or whatever later, and the
child would be well. That they took care of the children that were left
behind when the rest of the Navajo were taken away, and so they said
they are esteemed and not to be messed with. So they have a different
outlook. So in this area, they've had a lot of sightings. In
an area called the Chusca Mountains, which is up north of wind Rock,
they've had sightings. Everybody you talk to out here, you asked. I
have a tendency to ask people have you seen have you heard? I'm just
like that, which they look at me since I'm a white person, and
they kind of like, okay, well this white person, and okay,
we'll tell them. But people that I know that I could trust. I've
had several people tell me they've seen them in certain areas. One was a
lady who is now deceased, but she was our dispatcher and she said that
she had seen one in this particular road and this road goes up across this
paved road and then it goes up into the mountains. Now you have to
understand that these people are still hurting sheep on a regular basis. So they're
out and the areas that are not necessarily populated, and they're running sheep around
and following the sheep. Actually that they follow the sheep as the sheep grays,
and they bring him back in at night to protect them from the wolves
and the coyotes and whatever else eat them, you know, So they go
out with them during the day and they're out in the open areas, in
the areas that are not too populated. Well, this particular lady that told
me she saw one, it just so happens that now I know of two
other sightings along the same are the same pathway, which kind of strikes me
as interesting that this is all like there's almost like an area that they'd go
through. And the first sighting was a guy that I was working with on
a regular basis. I knew him very well, nice young man. He
lived with his mom, was still taking care of her because his dad had
passed away. They lived down in a beautiful valley down below some mountains Uphetter,
and he was running cattle and whatever. But in order to even get
a phone call out he would have to drive up on to this road,
holl Naval Station Road. He would have to drive up there of a morning
just to get his cell phone texts, his calls, whatever, make the
calls that he needed to go because where he was at in the valley,
they had no cell service whatsoever, which out in this reservation is not uncommon
because it is so sparse with population and anything commercial. There's very little commercial
activity out here, so having a cell phone tower anywhere close to you is
pretty slim. So this would have been morning. He drives up to where
he parks to so he can get his cell phone messages. And at first
he wasn't paying any attention, but then he starts seeing some brush and stuff
whiggling and moving around, and he looks up and he sees a hairy creature
and it's going in and out of these bushes. Well, he finally got
his whits about him since he had his cell phone in his hand, and
he finally takes a picture and all he got was the back. But I
have the picture and he shows it to me, and I'm like, this
is incredible, because I mean it was. To me, it was obviously
a bigfoot, and to him it was too, because when he saw it,
that's the first thing he thought. When other people see the picture,
they think it's a big one, and it was, you know, and
they're moving in and out. He's it wasn't. He said it was about
three feet tall. Now, mind you, this guy is not tall to
begin with. He's probably five foot one or two, so he would know
something three foot tall because it was shorter than him. And he says it
had a board in its hand from an old building that had fallen down right
there, and it was playing. That was his impression that whatever this was,
it was playing. But he was also stunned by what he was seeing
that. You know, he got one good picture and that was about it.
And it's the back. You don't see the front. You just see
the back, but you can see the muscular ture in the back, and
you can see the arms and that you can see the board that it was
playing with. Later on, after he kind of got over the shock,
he goes back up there with one of his dogs, and he was pretty
leary about even going anywhere near that again, because, like I said,
part of it was because of what he saw. Part of it was because
of the way they feel about the Bigfoot. And you know, this guy's
a blood Navo and he was a little bit nerved about going in there.
But he finally found an area underneath this huge tree and around these bushes where
it appeared that they had been bettered down for the night. When I say
they, I'm assuming and he was too that there was an adult with this
younger one. Well, his sister works for game and fish, and needless
to say, she put it on Facebook. And he was just mortified because
he's kind of a shy guy and this wasn't anything he wanted. But everybody
in the area knew who it was and what was going on. Well,
in this area they have regional governing centers they call chapter houses. So the
next in a few days, he went down there, not only to get
water because they have to there's not wells out here. They have to get
water from a deep well and take it back to their livestock. And he
was down there and they had a chapter meeting and he was there and everybody
there knew that he had seen something. Well, the stories started going around.
There was another guy that lived not too far from him, but down
down the valley said that he had also seen them, and that there was
two, two of these younger three foot tall ones, and he saw the
pair and they started talking among themselves, I mean, which the Navajo do
quite frequently. But different ones would say, oh, yeah, we leave
out food, and different elders will tell you that they leave out maybe a
chunk of lamb and what they call mutton, or they'll leave out vegetables from
the garden and leave them out for the Bigfoot to come and get. This
is a common thing among several of them that they would leave out for years,
they've been doing this, leaving out food and things for the Bigfoot.
Then another one told him, man, now that you can take this for
what it's worth. That another one of the elders told him that they had
heard one of them talking and that this older lady would talk to the Bigfoot
in Navajo and it would respond to him her in Navajo. Don't know about
that one. This is what he was telling me that came out of this
chapter meeting. So he was just mortified that this even made the internet.
But I've told you that there was a line from where he was at to
where this lady saw one in her car and then on up over the hill
not too far. Another guy that I work with, there's two or three
of us who work in the same office. His mother was out hurting sheep
and this one just occurred within the last Pubbic month. And she was out
on top of this mesa and she saw something down below her and she took
a picture. My first thought when I saw this picture, I said,
bigfoot. And he said he wasn't sure she had seen this creature down there.
She took this picture. She showed the picture to a medicine man.
Now you have to understand that there's still medicine men out here. There's still
things going on that most people in the world and in the cities would never
believe in a millionaires that still goes on on these reservations because they're isolated.
And this medicine man told her that this was a skin walker. Now,
skin walkers are bad. Skin Walkers are evil, They are bad medicine men,
and they use animal skins to cover their self when they're out doing their
bad things. And he said, this medicine man was telling her that this
is what he saw from the picture that he was writing a name on this
rock, trying to curse someone else. But because he was seen curses that
he was trying to put on someone else was going to come back on him
and he would get very, very sick and die. And once she took
the picture, apparently he realized whatever it was had been seen, turned and
left, and she turned and went away too. He didn't want no part
of this. The picture to me looks more like a bigfoot trying to come
up the side of this embankment. It was dark and black colored. I
couldn't see the detail. They were trying to say that it was a bare
skin over some guy. But I think we're dealing maybe with a bigfoot more
than we are something else. But you never know. She's never seen it
since. But this occurred about a month ago, this same guy. Well,
to finish that story, so far, we've never had anybody in that
area die that we are aware of, and that's been about a month ago.
But we'll see, you know, if that happens, we'll be want
some of the first ones to know. So anyway, the guy, the
same guy who his mother saw this one. He was at our quarters.
Like I said, I work in emergency medicine. We were at the quarters.
He left to go walking. He does it every day. He walks
around, and we're in a small community. He walks around the school.
It's about a mile walk. And he took out to go for his walk
that day. And when he came back, you could tell by the look
on his face something was really bad. And I asked him, I said,
what happened? And he shows me a picture. He said. This
was up above, right above the school, right on the edge of town,
and what they call the G Hill. The kids have made a big
g you know, like a lot of towns will do. They'll put their
initial up on the top of a hill. And he was walking on the
road down below this and he looks up and there is a bigfoot standing up
on top of this hill, standing by a tree. He sees it.
He's able to take a picture, but it's a little fuzzy because it was
a ways away from where he was standing. But I've seen that one as
well, and this was a pretty good size one. Whatever it was,
it was big and it was black, and you could see that it was
just standing there looking down. I mean, you don't you know, like
I said, it's fuzzy like a lot of these pictures, it's kind of
hazy and fuzzy around the area. So a little bit later and when he
saw that, you have to understand, he was terrified. And this is
a guy that I've never seen act like that. He just I mean,
we see all kinds of garbage, but that terrified him. So later on
he goes back to that same area with his wife, has her stand where
he was at, and then he goes up the hill and stands where he
saw this bigfoot and stands in the very same place. Now he is six
foot two, and this thing would have been at least a foot taller than
he was. I've seen that picture. I don't have that one, But
like I said, he stood there, had her take his picture, and
then he came back down and left this same hill. They've seen foot tracks
in the snow. A police officer saw those, and I don't know if
I have that one or not, but she took pictures of her foot beside
this print, and it was pretty good size, and it was a barefoot
track, but it was not human. It was big. And then later
on somebody else saw at that same hill just below that, it goes right
towards a small wash and to the lake, and somebody saw it going across
the wash. And then about a few hours later they saw it in another
town, in little community, and this person literally came face to face with
it. I don't know what they were doing, came face to face with
it and scared them out of their ever loving mind. So these kind of
things are going on all the time right around here where I'm at. I
asked one of the deputy sheriffs the other day if he'd had any reports.
He's another Native guy that I know, and he says, he said,
not anything, just real recently, but he's had reports down in the community
to call Upton, which is down near it's right across Interstate forty, I
mean, and this thing was crossing Interstate forty and they've seen apparently more than
once in that area. And there's a bunch of big rocks, very rugged
area. We're talking plateaus and mountains. If it got up in there,
it'd be hard pressed for anybody to see it, but they do see them
in that area. And then from where I'm at, I was told there
was one sided not too far from where I live, and I was looking
around trying to find any information on it. And just to the west of
me, there are some people again on Interstate forty that saw one crossed the
road in front of him and go back up to the north. And it
was a man and his wife, and I think it was the BFRO that
had the report, and I was reading it and they were so and oh,
there's no water around here, and I'm going, that's not true.
There is a water source on the south side of the road. There's a
lot of elk that hang out down there, and there's a pond in there,
but if you don't know it's there, you would never see it.
It's completely covered with trees. And this is an area where the deer and
the elk run across. It's a well known animal traffic and it was following
that same path went right up the road where another man that I knew lived
there and disappeared. But they saw it in daylight, and this people said
that other people had to have seen it because it was in daylight on Interstate
forty, which is very heavily traveled, so you know, these things are
out there, a lot of them. I mean, this is just kind
of a strange side note, but There's a canyon not too far from where
I live, and this canyon is totally covered with pictograph or pictures that they
have either picked up into the rock and the patina, and it's amazing and
these are ancient things. So I'm in there and I've taken a bunch of
the Civil Air Patrol kids down there to see this. I was helping them
out for a long time, and a whole bunch of them. Now,
these kids know that I had a fascinate with bigfits, so we were always
teasing each other. But there's a whole bunch of us. There's several adults,
several kids down in there with us, and we're looking at all this
stuff, taking pictures, and we come upon this one pictograph on the side
of the canyon wall, and the first thing, all the kids go bigfoot,
and it is the most strange picturegraph I've ever seen. But it was
bigger than everything else, had huge feet, it had huge hands, and
if I'm not mistaken, it had six fingers and six toes, which is
kind of uncommon for most pictographs out here. But it had this big head
and something in the neck that looked you'd think it was the things of Frankenstein.
I don't know, but it was really unusual. But even the kids,
the first thing they said was Bigfoot when they saw this pictograph, and
I thought, well, if we've got them now, they should have seen
them then because this would have been an ancient picturegraph. That's beside the point.
The other thing that was very telling that I've run across recently, we
were getting the same kids. We would take up to an area called Big
Lake, which is on the US for Service. It's out by Greer,
Arizona, and there's this lake up there that people like from Phoenix and stuff
that come up in vacation for the weekend or whatever. It's very popular during
the summer, and we had been asked to go up there and teach the
campers the kids, give them something to do. So we would go up
there and teach them some stuff just for fun. And these were all kids
that were out there. So most of these Civil Air Patrol kids were between
fourteen and eighteen years old, so they're not children by any means. But
anyway, I went to the Force Service office to arrange for this to be
done during the summer, and I'm talking to these people at the Force Service
Office and were in eager and just on a whim, I had heard that
there was a bigfoot in that area from someone else. This is right below
the Apache Reservation where those other people were seeing these bigfoot on a regular basis,
not too far from a lot of those other sidings. So I asked
one of these force service people, I said, does anybody ever see a
bigfoot up there? Just a casual, flippant question. And she was one
of the ones that goes up to this visitor center that is at the Big
Lake, and that's where we would do our little programs for these kids,
was at the visitor center. Now, in the summertime, there would be
tons of people in there. They'd bring up their RVs and all kinds of
stuff. If they weren't in RV's, they were in tents and campers and
they would dry camp away from the park or from the Big Lake. And
so there were people fishing as well. But you'd also have people off into
the woods all around this area. So I mean, this was a very
popular spot in the summer. So I asked this woman, I said,
have you seen a bigfoot as you're going up there? And she just looked
at me with this astonished look on her face and dead silent. And I
looked back at her and just a look on her face told me you've seen
one. And I asked her, I said, have you seen one?
And she goes, we all have. I said, what do you mean?
She said, every person from that office that has gone up there in
the summertime because they go early in the morning to be open at eight o'clock
in the morning and it's probably an hour drive up there. Said every one
of us, and she was numbering about seven or eight of them have seen
a bigfoot in that area at one time or another. And I stood there
with my mouth hanging open. I said, you're kidding. She said no,
and she kind of gave me this like you're the first one that's ever
asked is kind of look, you know. But she said, every one
of them have seen one in that area. And again we're talking a place
with lots of cover, lots of trees, lots of game. There's wildlife
all over that area. There lots of water fishing, all this, and
we're talking in an area that would be contiguous with the Apache Reservation and all
the other stuff that goes on over there. All the sightings they've had.
So this is coming from four service members, and she was a little reluctant
to talk about it, but the more I asked her, she just here
it came. She just blurted it out. So I'm standing there. I'm
kind of surprised, but there had been other people that I had talked to
had heard strange things up there, so this stuff is happening a lot in
this area. I know for a fact that the BFRO has been up in
the Truscas and the group they sent up there, they got ran out of
there by something pitching rocks at him. And they had been in there particularly
because of sightings and something more than one they said. I think there was
two or three of them. Think I started checking rocks at the people in
there in this group that went in there, and they couldn't hang around.
So when you start looking at the sidings, they are all along this area
of the White Mountains and all the way up into Flagstaff. There's been several
sidings and Flagstaff. In fact, there was one up there probably in the
last two months. I saw this one. I think it was in the
newspaper. I read about it. But they've had sightings in there, so
there's activity all around in this area. The time that we hear about them
the most where I'm working is in the fall when they start getting the pinon
nuts. The Navajo go out and collect the pinon nuts that come from the
trees, and you have to pick them up off the ground. Well,
usually you're not in a populated area, obviously, if you're going to be
where the pinons are, you're out in the woods away from everybody. And
the pinons only bear about every four so you'll pick one year you'll be in
this place, and in another year you'll be someplace else. Well, the
last time they were burying in the area close to where we were at,
we had three reports within a week of people seeing what they believe was a
big footback in that area, and they were frightened. I mean, most
people were pretty scared. Another lady that I works at the hospital, who
I'm seeing quite often, she had something crashed through, not just step over
a fence, but crashed through and knocked it down, and there were prints
in the mud. And the prints that I saw that she had several pictures
of them. They did not look like bear tracks. These looked bigger than
that, and they had a heel with toes. It looked like a regular
footprint. It looked like a sasquatch print to me, and she had him
in the mud. They called the rangers out to look at it, and
the rangers, oh, no, no, you know, we don't know
what it is. But they took pictures of it as well. And like
I said, the Navo rangers, the game and fish people, they take
these reports on a regular basis, take pictures, and then they have a
program. And they were showing a program which I didn't get a chance to
see. I wanted to go, but I was working, but I wanted
to see this program to see what they had to say about them, because
every place you go out on this reservation, you talk to somebody, they
will tell you that this is how the Navo feel about them. The Navajo
also they see them quite regularly. Like I said, when I get the
opportunity off and on, I'll ask somebody just out of curiosity. I'm bad
about this. I just, you know, all I flippantly ask somebody,
and most of the time they will tell you if they've seen one. They
will tell you, and some of them will laugh you off, but most
of them won't most of them realize that, hey, it's here. We
don't mess with them, but they're here. And there's quite a few few
of them from the numbers that I see, at least from one i've the
people I've talked to. But the one that I think that is the most
striking is this three foot or three and a half foot tall one that this
young man took the pictures of. I can kind of describe this one to
you a little bit. Like I said, from the picture you couldn't tell
exactly how tall he was, but the hair was kind of a almost golden
brown color, and it was going away from you. But it had long
arms, muscular and if it was a child, you could see every bit
of the muscles in the back. And you know, just from looking at
it, you can tell this is not a suit. There is no way.
If it was, it had to have been the most form fitting suit
I've ever seen in my life. And it had the stick that he described
that it was playing with, but he just didn't see the second one if
there was another one in there, but it was playing. That was the
way he described it is. It was playing, I think at the time
after it ran into the trees, he got frightened enough that he drove off,
and then it kind of hit him what he saw. And it wasn't
that far from his own home. I think that's kind of what tipped him
too, is you know, he was just up the hill from his house
and there it was, so it was really a unique picture. I just
wish we could have gotten on the other side of it, and I think
initially he did see the other side the face. But you know how it
is when you see one of these things, you're so stunned that many times
you don't stop and take a picture, even though you got your camera in
your hand. You were just blown away by what you're looking at. You
don't have anything to do but stand there and look. And I think that's
kind of what it happened to him. It just shocked him so bad and
surprised him that it took him a minute to get his wits about him enough
to take the photo. And when he did, he got the backside,
which is still very unusual and very appealing because it's like you don't see an
animal like that. It was bright, messing around and you could tell,
you know, it was walking away from him. But like I said,
he described it as playing so an unusual situation, an unusual encounter. But
I don't expect that this will be the last one up here. As a
matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised to get many more, because they
are out here, more than I ever ever expected. But I find it
fascinating. I would love to see another one after seeing the one. I've
always wanted to see another because it is just so fascinating to see these things,
to know that something not everybody does get to see, and you've been
privileged to get a look at something that you're not sure exactly what it is
to this day. I mean, I can't. It definitely wasn't human.
It definitely wasn't ape the one that I saw. But you feel well,
I mean, I feel privileged when I get to see like a ball eagle,
which I get to see off and on, even a beautiful elk.
I feel privileged to see these. But the sea a bigfoot is just phenomenal.
I just am taken aback that I was privileged to see one. And
there's more out here. There are other sidings. I'm trying to think there's
more. There's been guys from the four Service down on the patch he rez
that had a whole family walk in front of him. He was taking woodcutting
for mits on a back road and people coming in and cutting wood, and
he had a whole family group, a male, female and a couple of
kids walk in front of him at four o'clock in the afternoon. And he
didn't want his name mentioned because, like I said, the Apache don't like
notoriety. But he saw one. There's been sightings like that off and off
and on just for years. I've run across these people that have seen them.
So this is a hotbed area as far as I'm concerned. And there's
a lot of places for him to hide. There's lots of places for cover,
lots of places you'll never see them either, because you could walk for
miles and never see another soul. You might see a sheep or two,
you might see some other game and stuff, but you're not going to see
people. And this is the same way on the Apache Risk. There's places
down in there you could stay forever and never be seen because it is so
wild and wely out here, and people don't realize that. It's not like
being in the middle of the Kansas grassland. You're in the middle of the
forest and the woods and the canyons and the hills and the mountains. It's
not like any place you've ever seen. And there's places that they could hide
all day long and never be seen. And there's plenty of fish and game
and places for them to eat. They would never have any trouble about things
like that. So I said, for myself, having a chance to have
seen one, it just makes me want to see another. A lot of
people, I realized they're frightened and they would not want to ever see another
one. I would love to see another one, as long as I'm not
getting confronted. But from a distance, you know, a little distance would
be fantastic. But I don't know. I just feel privileged that I got
the chance to see the one. If I get a chance to see the
second one, then so be it. I'm ready. But I think that's
about all I have for you. I don't know if there's anything else I
can think of at the moment to tell you about. Well that's it for
tonight show. If you've had a big Foot siding and would like to be
a guest, please go to my Bigfoot Siding dot com and let us know.
Thanks for listening, have a great night seen a bunch of run down
no hose towns where the church is the backbone, loves and the bow and
the fasting melodies coove in. But the bomb man rose with the roos,
run deep beyond the nose of the busy streets with the songs of the South
of Su. Then I mean I hear the prompot picking down home rhythm,
ringing that I don't run from Banjung music. Yeah, the sound of a
memory. It brings me back to the bluegrass playing the Madadi jack. It's
become many been through it, getting through the tea on scrubs and Skaggs,
booking name bars, through this Tennessee jams. There's no other way that I
do it. And I hit the flumboat picking down rhythm, bringing out that
don't run from Benjong music. Yeah, something going backwards backwards and double tip
faking in the sword and the strummle looking to stuff. Because at the end
of strumming out country both living and I hit a bumboat picking rhythm bringing us
that all from from men of hysic. The city life draws me wild on
the two music cars rushing by with the bastes on the stereos to man when
I hear the brown bos picking down on them, bringing nuts, paddle run
from bunch of music, Yeah, something going backwards backwards and double tub picking.
Then the sword and the strumming looking tukey star because the strumming us cant
you both living, and I hit a bum bot picking double rhythm bringing us
battle from the best room, summing gallo backwards backwards and double time picking and
the soul and the truma looking tucky stars because the thing had those trumen downs.
Country boy leaving and I hit a bom porch pick and double bro the
rad Chick and Portwink Mama's best swinget tea kind of sounds ball round will be music
