Now, You’ve Gotta Watch for Sasquatch as Well - My Bigfoot Sighting Episode 213

<v Speaker 1>Hey, you there, thanks for tuning in.
<v Speaker 2>You're ready for another episode of my big Foot sighting.
<v Speaker 1>All right, then let's do this.
<v Speaker 3>Seen a bunch of run down, no horse towns where
<v Speaker 3>the church at the backbone, laws and the bow and
<v Speaker 3>the fasting melodies coove in with the bomb man rose
<v Speaker 3>with the roofs, run deep beyond the nose of the
<v Speaker 3>busy streets with the songs of the South of su
<v Speaker 3>Then when I hear the promp porch picking down home
<v Speaker 3>rhythm bringing out I Don't Run from Banjung music.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if you've had a bigfoot sighting and would like
<v Speaker 1>to be a guest, please go to my Bigfoot sighting
<v Speaker 1>dot com and let me know.
<v Speaker 2>My bigfoot sightings are why I investigate them. Present day. Hi.
<v Speaker 2>My name is Lance. I live in Michigan. I've also
<v Speaker 2>lived in Washington State. I just wanted to let you
<v Speaker 2>know about some of my bigfoot sightings here in the
<v Speaker 2>state of Michigan. I've done active investigations in this area.
<v Speaker 2>I talked to a myriad of people. I've got some
<v Speaker 2>really cool stories, even video clips that I've shared with
<v Speaker 2>the host here. So some of the cool stuff that
<v Speaker 2>I've done in the last ten years being here in Michigan.
<v Speaker 2>I first moved back here in twenty fourteen and was
<v Speaker 2>unloading the truck cool fall day, and I heard a howl.
<v Speaker 2>And this is up up by the northern Lower Peninsula,
<v Speaker 2>up by Traverse City, out in the woods, and I
<v Speaker 2>thought they followed me. So I just wanted to give
<v Speaker 2>you some different things that I've gone through here in
<v Speaker 2>Michigan and let you know what's going on. So some
<v Speaker 2>of the cool stuff. We've gone all over the state
<v Speaker 2>and talked to a lot of people, investigated sightings. We've
<v Speaker 2>actually had people doing gifting and fed them and when
<v Speaker 2>they stopped, the sasquatches got a little bit upset and
<v Speaker 2>started looking at people's windows. Cameras were put up. The
<v Speaker 2>state came in and said, please don't feed the animals.
<v Speaker 2>Different things that are on there. Let's talk about my sighting.
<v Speaker 2>I was up fishing and out recording with a friend
<v Speaker 2>of mine and we were hearing wood knocks in the woods.
<v Speaker 2>So we decided to go fastquatch hunting in that area
<v Speaker 2>and got about one hundred yards out and saw something
<v Speaker 2>looking at us. I pulled out the phone and steadied
<v Speaker 2>it on the trees. It was in the springtime, so
<v Speaker 2>not a lot of brush in the area, but you
<v Speaker 2>could definitely see that there was an eight foot being
<v Speaker 2>with a cone shaped head looking at us through the trees,
<v Speaker 2>standing full faced looking at us, so not even hiding
<v Speaker 2>behind the trees and watching. So I pulled out and
<v Speaker 2>recorded the individual for about twenty one seconds. You could
<v Speaker 2>see arms moved, you could see the muffles on his
<v Speaker 2>body underneath his at the fur I increased the phone
<v Speaker 2>from normal view to telescopic views. He could actually see
<v Speaker 2>it and you could see it in that area. It's
<v Speaker 2>like it was watching standing guard. In that area. We
<v Speaker 2>decided to watch walk in a little farther. We found
<v Speaker 2>big x's up all along there. And when I say
<v Speaker 2>a big, imagine a thirty five forty foot tree length
<v Speaker 2>that is at least eight inches across in an X
<v Speaker 2>against another tree. We found multiple trees like that with
<v Speaker 2>the x'es, and you get up to one of them
<v Speaker 2>and you look in any direction and you'd see two
<v Speaker 2>or three of them, like it was a boundary tree.
<v Speaker 2>As we approached close to where this individual was, we
<v Speaker 2>got up to where that was. The individual sasquatch that
<v Speaker 2>we saw was not there. There was no stump there,
<v Speaker 2>and we looked over the edge we found what we
<v Speaker 2>can only imagine would be a corral that was logs
<v Speaker 2>that had been put in there, so maybe corral the young,
<v Speaker 2>We don't know. We figure it was since it was springtime.
<v Speaker 2>They were verying young in that area. We took pictures
<v Speaker 2>of surrounding trees and actually found about three or four
<v Speaker 2>individuals peekabooing at us while we were up there. We
<v Speaker 2>did get walked out of the area by the individuals.
<v Speaker 2>The sasquatch. The one that we saw was easily eight
<v Speaker 2>foot maybe nine feet tall. The shoulders on that thing
<v Speaker 2>was at least four feet across. This had to been
<v Speaker 2>a eight to twelve hundred pound individual. I mean this
<v Speaker 2>thing was huge. We found multiple footprints in the area.
<v Speaker 2>I do carry a kit with me, maybe just a
<v Speaker 2>little backpack with me that has a few things on it.
<v Speaker 2>It'll have a tape measure so you can measure the print.
<v Speaker 2>Then also I carry what's called dental impression. You just
<v Speaker 2>add a little bit of water you can put it in.
<v Speaker 2>It's a rubbery type of material and will actually pick
<v Speaker 2>up the all the way down to the footprint. Fingerprints
<v Speaker 2>of the foot in the ground, which is nice. And
<v Speaker 2>then also a thermal camera that I picked up online.
<v Speaker 2>Costs me about two fifty to have that to be
<v Speaker 2>able to go out there. And then paper bags. You
<v Speaker 2>don't want to use plastic bags. Make sure you use
<v Speaker 2>paper bags for any evidence unless it's feces and you
<v Speaker 2>want to use plastic. But we have different stuff that
<v Speaker 2>we take with us just to investigate because in case
<v Speaker 2>we come across anything. That was one of the huge
<v Speaker 2>areas up there. We are up near a large river
<v Speaker 2>up north in the springtime. In the fall, I decided
<v Speaker 2>to go salmon fishing on that river and a friend
<v Speaker 2>of mine from Detroit area and I drove up there
<v Speaker 2>and we hiked down to the bottom of the off
<v Speaker 2>the thread foot cliffs down to the bottom of the river,
<v Speaker 2>and he was probably about fifteen twenty feet in front
<v Speaker 2>of me, talking up a storm because he was all
<v Speaker 2>excited about fishing. There wasn't a lot of other people there.
<v Speaker 2>As I walked by a bushy tree, I got growled at. Now,
<v Speaker 2>this was not a bear growl. It was not a
<v Speaker 2>cougar growl. I've been growled at by cougars, bears, bobcat.
<v Speaker 2>This was a guttural growl from something big, and I
<v Speaker 2>stopped and slowly turned around with my fishing pole started
<v Speaker 2>infecting the area. Nothing was moving, but I could tell
<v Speaker 2>that he was probably within five feet of where I
<v Speaker 2>was walking by. Now I don't know if he spelled me.
<v Speaker 2>It made me made a memory of what when I
<v Speaker 2>was there inspecting that area earlier in the spring. But
<v Speaker 2>it was very interesting that you know a lot of
<v Speaker 2>low brush you have to watch out for when you
<v Speaker 2>get growled at by something rather big right there. So that, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>you know, that whole area up in that area is
<v Speaker 2>very active, and I don't think that a lot of
<v Speaker 2>people understand what is going on up there. We've had
<v Speaker 2>other reports out of that area that they've had window
<v Speaker 2>peakers in that area as well. This all started with
<v Speaker 2>me back in a little town up north called Frankfurt, Michigan,
<v Speaker 2>back in the seventies, early seventies. We moved up there,
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I remember looking out the window early
<v Speaker 2>in the morning and seeing tree stumps, trees maybe about
<v Speaker 2>thirty feet from my window, and one of them being
<v Speaker 2>really big, big tree logs coming up, and then looking
<v Speaker 2>back about a half hour later and they were gone.
<v Speaker 2>So something was watching us. We'd go for hikes back
<v Speaker 2>in the woods and come across these footprints that were
<v Speaker 2>sixteen seventeen inches long barefoot. My dad asked me, well,
<v Speaker 2>are you guys walking barefoot back here? I said no.
<v Speaker 2>When we'd hear howls and wood knocks and banging on
<v Speaker 2>the metal objects that were back in the back of
<v Speaker 2>the back of the house. More than once we had.
<v Speaker 2>You know, we didn't have curtains on the windows on
<v Speaker 2>my windows, so I always looked outside and the windows
<v Speaker 2>were about six seven feet off the ground, and I
<v Speaker 2>would see a face looking back in. Well, huh, something's
<v Speaker 2>watching me, and I'd run tell Mom and dad. They'd
<v Speaker 2>come back, and of course there was nothing there. Even
<v Speaker 2>walking along, you know, I heard my dad say, oh,
<v Speaker 2>Lances and knowing full well Dad, as it worked and
<v Speaker 2>this was coming out of the brush, I'd kind of
<v Speaker 2>walk at the brush and look and continue walking on, thinking,
<v Speaker 2>you know, something telling me don't go into the don't
<v Speaker 2>go into that part of the woods, don't do that,
<v Speaker 2>and you know, not thinking anything could be out there,
<v Speaker 2>you know, calling my name or you know, being right
<v Speaker 2>out in front of the house. Sorry about being disconjointed.
<v Speaker 2>We were in the house, I would play out in
<v Speaker 2>the front yard. About eight or nine years old. I
<v Speaker 2>was playing in the dirt with my trucks and and
<v Speaker 2>you know, just past the cement and making well I'm
<v Speaker 2>going to live on top of the house and stuff.
<v Speaker 2>And all of a sudden I got this feeling that
<v Speaker 2>something was watching me. And I looked about thirty yards
<v Speaker 2>down the end of the driveway at this face looking
<v Speaker 2>at me through the brush across the road. And I
<v Speaker 2>looked at it, and I cocked my head and looked
<v Speaker 2>at it again. It was a It was a hairy
<v Speaker 2>face looking back at me. And immediately I thought bear.
<v Speaker 2>I thought bear, and I screamed like you could not believe.
<v Speaker 2>My grandfather and my dad came running and I said
<v Speaker 2>bear across the road, and at that time, something moved,
<v Speaker 2>and the branch tired moving back and forth, and oh
<v Speaker 2>my gosh, to see that thing looking at me. And
<v Speaker 2>that thing took off fast, and my dad, my grandfather,
<v Speaker 2>you know, wouldn't go over there and looked at it
<v Speaker 2>because they didn't see what I saw. But all the
<v Speaker 2>branch moving and they having to see that bow I
<v Speaker 2>was moving, they kind of comfort me. I came back
<v Speaker 2>in the house, got some water and went on with
<v Speaker 2>my day. But to live up in northern Michigan, not seeing,
<v Speaker 2>you know, not really knowing what was going on was
<v Speaker 2>you know, I would take off at six years old
<v Speaker 2>back in the woods and had no problem with that whatsoever.
<v Speaker 2>But I was always walking in the woods. There was
<v Speaker 2>you know, always back in the woods, back on the
<v Speaker 2>sand dune. You would stop because something wasn't right. You
<v Speaker 2>could feel something watching you, but you couldn't figure out
<v Speaker 2>where it was. So I was it was kind of interesting.
<v Speaker 2>We moved out to We've moved out to Washington State
<v Speaker 2>in eighty two, to the Olympic Peninsula, and you know,
<v Speaker 2>just had some different experiences there where I was out
<v Speaker 2>in the truck, four wheel driving in the middle of
<v Speaker 2>the night and had this thing run across the road
<v Speaker 2>that has on all fours, but I had no tail,
<v Speaker 2>but it was huge. It was just really weird to
<v Speaker 2>see that enough that I stopped the truck and watched,
<v Speaker 2>you know, it was it was neat to see what
<v Speaker 2>I now know was a fastquatch running on all fours.
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was big cougar at first, but again
<v Speaker 2>there was no tail. And I've seen cougars before, you know,
<v Speaker 2>nine foot from head to tail cougars, And this wasn't
<v Speaker 2>a cougar. It definitely had it definitely was where I
<v Speaker 2>stopped and would watch it, and it went over the edge.
<v Speaker 2>You couldn't find it. But the you know, the biggest
<v Speaker 2>experience I had of when I really got into looking
<v Speaker 2>at investigating current day sightings was when I was in
<v Speaker 2>Washington at the base of Mount Baker. I was living
<v Speaker 2>there just above the Nooksack River in a little town
<v Speaker 2>called Welcome, Washington. It's comprises of a fire station and
<v Speaker 2>about four houses. And I was out walking down to
<v Speaker 2>the river bottoms to check out the salmon that were
<v Speaker 2>coming up the river and coming up some of the
<v Speaker 2>streams and stuff, and starting hiking down a fire road
<v Speaker 2>that was maybe about twenty five thirty feet above the river.
<v Speaker 2>They always run fire roads up there along the river
<v Speaker 2>just in case of forest fire, and such. Trees are
<v Speaker 2>all one hundred plus feet tall evergreens and a few
<v Speaker 2>maples here here, and there a large cliff next to
<v Speaker 2>me that was maybe about one hundred two hundred feet
<v Speaker 2>high made of coal and graft at some of the
<v Speaker 2>other stones there. And I'm walking along all of a sudden,
<v Speaker 2>rocks come flying over the cliff and land near me.
<v Speaker 2>And I was with a walking stick, and I yelled
<v Speaker 2>off the cliff. I said, whoever's up there throwing stones,
<v Speaker 2>you better not hit me. I'm going to come up
<v Speaker 2>there and get you. And just as I said that,
<v Speaker 2>out of the corner of my eye to the right,
<v Speaker 2>down in the river bottoms, something shook the trees and
<v Speaker 2>it was big, and I had a cone head and
<v Speaker 2>fur from head to toe and shook the trees and
<v Speaker 2>then just walked through the river bottom toward the toward
<v Speaker 2>the water in the area. And I stopped and I looked,
<v Speaker 2>and I thought, what is that. I've never seen a
<v Speaker 2>bear walk like that. I'm thinking bear. Maybe it was
<v Speaker 2>an elk. Elk do not have cone heads, not fur
<v Speaker 2>from head down all over the bodies, and they did
<v Speaker 2>not grab the elk and bear won't grab trees and
<v Speaker 2>shake them. And so I continued on my way back
<v Speaker 2>down into the road where I was hiking down to
<v Speaker 2>the water into the woods there, and I'm looking around,
<v Speaker 2>I'm going this this is not this is not right.
<v Speaker 2>I don't I can't be here. And I made a
<v Speaker 2>bee line straight to the water because it was open area.
<v Speaker 2>Once I get into the river, bottoms past the trees
<v Speaker 2>where I'd hiked a long time before, got across right
<v Speaker 2>into the river and followed the river back up to
<v Speaker 2>the road and came back up. That night we had
<v Speaker 2>You could hear it was it was trained. You could
<v Speaker 2>hear like howling and dogs barking. So there was a
<v Speaker 2>howl coming up the river, and then the dog spark
<v Speaker 2>and then somebody neighbors. All the way up the river.
<v Speaker 2>You could just hear these dogs going off of something
<v Speaker 2>coming up the river. And I got screened at. I
<v Speaker 2>got literally screened at. I stepped outside the back of
<v Speaker 2>the house to listen to the commotion and probably within
<v Speaker 2>about twenty five thirty feet to me, just down the embankment,
<v Speaker 2>I got screamed at, and I'm going, what in the
<v Speaker 2>world is that? And I went in and started doing
<v Speaker 2>some research. What kind of what kind of howl did
<v Speaker 2>I hear? And it was a howl. It was a
<v Speaker 2>howl from you know. I found a big foot site
<v Speaker 2>that had the holes and I listened to it and
<v Speaker 2>I said, that's exactly what I heard, and contacted them
<v Speaker 2>let them know that, hey, this is this is going
<v Speaker 2>on out here in Nooksack River. They came out and investigated.
<v Speaker 2>We walked all through the area and would not go
<v Speaker 2>back in the woods by myself, and they said, hey,
<v Speaker 2>don't worry. You know, if you're with people, you're fine.
<v Speaker 2>I was freaked out. I'm the six foot ye know,
<v Speaker 2>at that point, six foot four, two hundred and eighty
<v Speaker 2>pounds and a big guy that won't normally most people
<v Speaker 2>won't mess with. But there I wasn't sure because it
<v Speaker 2>was the unknown. About a month later, I came out
<v Speaker 2>of the back of the house I lived in a
<v Speaker 2>beautiful house on about an acre. Came out of the
<v Speaker 2>back of the house and I went to get in
<v Speaker 2>the truck. My deck is about three feet above the ground.
<v Speaker 2>And I looked over past the truck toward my garage,
<v Speaker 2>and there was a seven and a half foot light colored,
<v Speaker 2>you know, sandy brown with almost reddish colored sasquatch looking
<v Speaker 2>at me. And I remember him. He was just standing
<v Speaker 2>there and I looked at him and he had he
<v Speaker 2>put his arm up in front of his face where
<v Speaker 2>I could see the hair, about four inches of hair
<v Speaker 2>hanging off his arms. He had black eyes. He you know,
<v Speaker 2>the cone shaped head that the arms. He was probably
<v Speaker 2>three feet easily across at his shoulders, and I looked
<v Speaker 2>down and I could see his legs. He was all
<v Speaker 2>covered at hair. His face was was kind of cro
<v Speaker 2>magnan looking, had a definite nose. You could see his ears.
<v Speaker 2>You could see a lot of facial features. And he
<v Speaker 2>put his arms up in front of his face like
<v Speaker 2>he was like if he blocked his face, I wouldn't
<v Speaker 2>see it. He took two steps and covered twelve feet
<v Speaker 2>to the back of the garage. I stood there, going, well, huh,
<v Speaker 2>look at that. They do exist. And I walked back
<v Speaker 2>in the house and then ended up. You know, I
<v Speaker 2>ended up sleeping with the gun next to the bed
<v Speaker 2>because I didn't I'm up there by myself. I don't
<v Speaker 2>know so, but that on one side and the gun
<v Speaker 2>on the other, because I wasn't sure what was up there.
<v Speaker 2>I had gone out about a month after that, it's springtime.
<v Speaker 2>I went outside to get get some stuff out of
<v Speaker 2>the truck that I brought home, my groceries, and it
<v Speaker 2>sounded like there was two kids whining at each other
<v Speaker 2>in the front of the house. In the briers in
<v Speaker 2>front of the house, BlackBerry bushes were twelve fifteen feet high,
<v Speaker 2>just lining the driveway up. There wasn't sure what was good,
<v Speaker 2>but you could hear this whining back and forth like
<v Speaker 2>he touched me. I did not, you did it? You
<v Speaker 2>know that type of whining. It was just like brothers
<v Speaker 2>and sisters whining together. I coughed, and all of a sudden,
<v Speaker 2>you heard a I could only think it was a
<v Speaker 2>mother or father sasquatch to be quiet and just grumbled
<v Speaker 2>like that, and it was. It was quiet enough that
<v Speaker 2>I went and got the grocery steam back in the house,
<v Speaker 2>locked up the house and went inside. That night. I
<v Speaker 2>had the window shades open. I have windows all the
<v Speaker 2>way around the house. It was a nice, nice eyes house.
<v Speaker 2>I was sitting there watching TV and I looked up
<v Speaker 2>because I felt something was watching me. I looked out
<v Speaker 2>the window and there was a face looking down. My
<v Speaker 2>windows are about at this house, We're probably eight feet
<v Speaker 2>at the top of the window. There was something leaning
<v Speaker 2>down looking in. It freaked me out enough that I
<v Speaker 2>went and pulled every sheet that I possibly could find
<v Speaker 2>and covered the windows with the sheets, with any type
<v Speaker 2>of betting I could find anything. Because that freaked me out,
<v Speaker 2>I had to look up and see something looking down
<v Speaker 2>at me. That was that was huge. H But again,
<v Speaker 2>it just when you start to start to have experiences
<v Speaker 2>in certain areas, it really comes to mind that, you know,
<v Speaker 2>why are they interested in me? Why do they want
<v Speaker 2>to come find me? I didn't do anything to them.
<v Speaker 2>Why are they Why are they doing this? You know,
<v Speaker 2>I don't need to be scared. I'm a I'm a
<v Speaker 2>grown man. At that time, was working in the jails,
<v Speaker 2>and so I didn't have to jail and for the county,
<v Speaker 2>didn't have to really worry about anything else out there.
<v Speaker 2>I proceeded to kind of watch what was going on.
<v Speaker 2>I went out to get the mail one day and
<v Speaker 2>slipped on the wet grass and fell backwards and in
<v Speaker 2>the briar bush. As I hear a deep laugh like something.
<v Speaker 2>I got myself up, picked myself up, looked at the
<v Speaker 2>briar bush, and I said, okay, something there watching me.
<v Speaker 2>A he's laughing at me for falling. So I went
<v Speaker 2>back in the house, got in the truck and went
<v Speaker 2>down to get the mail instead of walking to it. So,
<v Speaker 2>you know, just to have those experiences where we're not
<v Speaker 2>only seeing them but having them around watching you and
<v Speaker 2>watching what you're doing was always interesting. So onto other
<v Speaker 2>sightings and said, a friend of mine and I decided
<v Speaker 2>to go hiking in the North Cascades in Idaho. Now,
<v Speaker 2>this is a really cool little lake that's north of
<v Speaker 2>Spokane and Cord Lane. Probably about an hour and a
<v Speaker 2>half to get up to it, and then you hike
<v Speaker 2>in about ten miles to get to the inlet of
<v Speaker 2>this lake. This was in May and I would say
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and one, maybe two thousand and two. In
<v Speaker 2>that time frame, we decided to hike all the way
<v Speaker 2>up and to do some fishing at the inlet. I
<v Speaker 2>just wanted to go up the hike overnight, you know,
<v Speaker 2>find out what's going on up there. This lake has
<v Speaker 2>been known to have sasquatches around it that after learned
<v Speaker 2>that after the fact. But this was in two thousand
<v Speaker 2>and two, we'll say about that time spring. We hiked
<v Speaker 2>all the way up. It was a twelve mile hike
<v Speaker 2>from the truck to the headwaters of the lake in Idaho.
<v Speaker 2>We got down, we found this really the path of
<v Speaker 2>getting all the way up there. The path goes around
<v Speaker 2>the spot and then drops into a delta like area
<v Speaker 2>where a small creek runs into the lake, and that's
<v Speaker 2>the main flood area. If it did flood, it would
<v Speaker 2>it would cover the area. But it was open enough
<v Speaker 2>area that we decided to camp there overnight and we
<v Speaker 2>set up our tent. Now, if you can imagine, there
<v Speaker 2>is a wall of you know, delta area. The cliffs
<v Speaker 2>come down and one waterfall it wasn't big, it was
<v Speaker 2>maybe about a foot and a half two feet wide,
<v Speaker 2>would come down and then meander through the center of
<v Speaker 2>the area where we were, and then the lake was
<v Speaker 2>butted up against the lake. Right in front of the lake,
<v Speaker 2>just before you got there, where these great big old
<v Speaker 2>growth logs and they were stacked like a like a
<v Speaker 2>buffer in this area. So it was it was kind
<v Speaker 2>of cool to have that. I put my tent behind
<v Speaker 2>one of the one of the barriers. That way, if
<v Speaker 2>the wind came up, I would be protected from a
<v Speaker 2>wind a little bit. So I had a three man
<v Speaker 2>tent that I set up there, put my bag in there.
<v Speaker 2>We started a fire down by the water just before
<v Speaker 2>the lake and just had a little fire going there.
<v Speaker 2>We ended up cooking. Everything got done cooking, we go
<v Speaker 2>ahead and cleaned up everything, made sure there's no food
<v Speaker 2>smells where a grizzly area. Grizzly bears are probably about
<v Speaker 2>two to three times the size of black bears, so
<v Speaker 2>we didn't want to deal with any food and have
<v Speaker 2>them smell that and come into the campground. We took
<v Speaker 2>our bag of food and our gear and proceeded to
<v Speaker 2>walk about one hundred yards upstream. We tied it to
<v Speaker 2>a tree and pulled it up into the tree line,
<v Speaker 2>so it was on a branch and it was probably
<v Speaker 2>twenty five thirty feet up. It was just proper way
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that the food smells stay away from us.
<v Speaker 2>We had cleaned the all the pots and pans and
<v Speaker 2>dishes and dry them stack them alongside of a tree
<v Speaker 2>to so they would dry overnight, so we have them
<v Speaker 2>fresh for the morning. And then we sat down and
<v Speaker 2>he had his tent, I had my tent. We talked
<v Speaker 2>a little bit and then turned in probably about ten
<v Speaker 2>thirty eleven o'clock at night through the morning hours, i'd
<v Speaker 2>say one to two o'clock to be three o'clock in
<v Speaker 2>the morning. All of a sudden I hear clanging of
<v Speaker 2>our pots and pain. I'm thinking, great, there is a
<v Speaker 2>raccoon or something. Check it around trying to find food.
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm thinking that I'm not worried about it
<v Speaker 2>too much. I'm not going to worry about that. Then
<v Speaker 2>I heard the pots and pants move to the trees
<v Speaker 2>to they move from behind the tent to in front
<v Speaker 2>of the tent, between the tent and the and the water.
<v Speaker 2>I thought, well, okay, when they're picking them up and
<v Speaker 2>moving them and we have to find them all tomorrow morning,
<v Speaker 2>everything's to be scattered. About that time, something pushed down
<v Speaker 2>on my tent and I wasn't sure what it was,
<v Speaker 2>and I said, knock it off. And I reached up
<v Speaker 2>and hit something something hard. It was a kneecap and
<v Speaker 2>I hit the kneecap and that thing was probably four
<v Speaker 2>feet off the ground. I hit it and I knocked
<v Speaker 2>it and I said, knock it off. I'm trying to sleep.
<v Speaker 2>And it moved and then something else leaned against the
<v Speaker 2>tree again or against the tent again, and I said
<v Speaker 2>knock it off. And I hold that thing hard. It
<v Speaker 2>was like hitting a brick, just something hard, and it
<v Speaker 2>scared the le guitar. I mean, I wasn't sure what
<v Speaker 2>it was. And it stopped to move away, and something
<v Speaker 2>tripped over the the line holding the tent up. The
<v Speaker 2>tent sloppered around a little bit, and then it was quiet.
<v Speaker 2>I got up the next morning at daylight, probably about
<v Speaker 2>seven o'clock in the morning, and finally got a little
<v Speaker 2>bit daylight, got up and went outside and was stretching.
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking, oh, yeah, I got to go pick up
<v Speaker 2>all the all the year that had been strewed around
<v Speaker 2>the camp site from the raccoons that I heard earlier.
<v Speaker 2>And I'm walking around. I'm going, there's a footprint in there.
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty big. I'm going, oh, I don't know what
<v Speaker 2>that is. And I'm problem, I'll wait till my buddy
<v Speaker 2>wakes up and we'll talk about it. I turned around
<v Speaker 2>and look at the tree that's between my and the lake,
<v Speaker 2>and on the tree is the pants and the dishes
<v Speaker 2>and the forks and the knife. Everything is perfectly set
<v Speaker 2>out on top of that log, equidistance of about three
<v Speaker 2>inches all the way down the log. And that's really weird.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was all perfectly set up down that log.
<v Speaker 2>So I wasn't sure what what I saw, what was
<v Speaker 2>going on. I looked at that and I thought, what
<v Speaker 2>is what is this? You know? I waited till my
<v Speaker 2>buddy John got up and I said, check this out.
<v Speaker 2>He goes, you did that. I said, no, I didn't.
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't and we we I said, look at the
<v Speaker 2>Look at the tree where we have our stuff. The
<v Speaker 2>tree where we had our stuff. The bag was pulled
<v Speaker 2>down from the tree to a about eight feet where
<v Speaker 2>it was twenty feet up in the tree. It had
<v Speaker 2>been pulled down like something had gotten on the branch
<v Speaker 2>and pulled it down to about eight feet high. And
<v Speaker 2>I looked at I said, giberis climbed trees. You think
<v Speaker 2>the bear did dance, you know? He goes, I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>And we just we didn't feel that. We felt like
<v Speaker 2>something was watching us. And so we made breakfast and
<v Speaker 2>cleaned up everything and packed up anything, and I said,
<v Speaker 2>what do you want to fish? He goes, Nope, I
<v Speaker 2>think I just want to go. So we decided to
<v Speaker 2>start hiking out now. Instead of going, we were going
<v Speaker 2>to go around to catch the trail and then take around,
<v Speaker 2>but it didn't feel right, so we decided to go
<v Speaker 2>straight up a hill. The hill was full of pine needles.
<v Speaker 2>It was brought on a forty five degree angle, so
<v Speaker 2>you take one step and you slide slide back a
<v Speaker 2>half a step, so you take one or two steps
<v Speaker 2>and something come back one. We're on a full pack.
<v Speaker 2>We're just trying to get out of there as fast
<v Speaker 2>as we could. We were both scared and just nervous
<v Speaker 2>about what was in and around that area. We weren't sure.
<v Speaker 2>We finally got up on the trail and start hiking
<v Speaker 2>to the back to the truck, and I had turned
<v Speaker 2>around and something white was following us. Now this thing
<v Speaker 2>was white. It was probably seven and a half eight
<v Speaker 2>feet tall, wide shoulders. It was following up up the
<v Speaker 2>path behind us. It had a face that was almost human,
<v Speaker 2>but not quite. So we weren't sure. I told my
<v Speaker 2>buddy John, I said, turn around, look and he looked,
<v Speaker 2>and he says, that's not normal. I said, nope, we
<v Speaker 2>need to step it up. So we started hiking a
<v Speaker 2>little faster. That thing saw us and bolted into the woods,
<v Speaker 2>you know, really fast. As soon as we locked eyes
<v Speaker 2>on it, it just disappeared. But we felt like we
<v Speaker 2>were being walked out of that area or being pushed
<v Speaker 2>out of that area some I'm scared. We got to
<v Speaker 2>the truck, just threw everything at the back of the
<v Speaker 2>truck and got in and took off, and then then
<v Speaker 2>we discussed what we had saw. Again. You know, it's
<v Speaker 2>thirty some odd years old at that time, and have
<v Speaker 2>something like that come out of nowhere, and you just
<v Speaker 2>you don't put two and two together of all the
<v Speaker 2>experiences until you see one, until you actually can look
<v Speaker 2>at it and look at the hair coming off of
<v Speaker 2>the arms and seeing the eyes look back at you,
<v Speaker 2>and you could see the mouth and the nose and
<v Speaker 2>the ears, and you're looking at something that is forty
<v Speaker 2>feet from you, or defeat's not that far away is huge.
<v Speaker 2>You're looking up at it and you just can't imagine
<v Speaker 2>this stuff is true. Now I'm coming back up to
<v Speaker 2>present day. I work with a researcher in the area
<v Speaker 2>and he sends me out to go talk to certain people.
<v Speaker 2>We clock evidence, We talked to him, We've made footprints,
<v Speaker 2>We've done got pictures of footprints in certain areas, have
<v Speaker 2>gone on some of the Indian reservation, talked to the
<v Speaker 2>people there, and for some reason, during the salmon runs
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot more sightings. And I can only surmise
<v Speaker 2>that because of the salmon that are there. They you know,
<v Speaker 2>they're coming down for salmon, just like we are we're
<v Speaker 2>coming in to fish, they're coming down to fish as well.
<v Speaker 2>And I'm thinking that sometimes that that they'll have a
<v Speaker 2>little bit more pressure from humans and they'll they'll think
<v Speaker 2>that that's a that's something that is going to be
<v Speaker 2>affecting their behavior if they go out at night and
<v Speaker 2>fish or whatever. However they're going to get their food,
<v Speaker 2>and if they're in an area just like when I
<v Speaker 2>got growled at down the base of the down by
<v Speaker 2>the river there, they're going to perceive that as a threat. Now,
<v Speaker 2>one of the things that when you go into the woods,
<v Speaker 2>you have to be vigilant to see what is not right.
<v Speaker 2>You can be walking in the woods and find a
<v Speaker 2>tree that has bark laying across it, or come out
<v Speaker 2>to an area. I remember coming up to many areas
<v Speaker 2>that have deer that look like they they're hanging in trees,
<v Speaker 2>or other animals hanging in trees, which just isn't normal.
<v Speaker 2>And you know, bear won't put cougar might pull it
<v Speaker 2>up in the tree to eat it, but not not
<v Speaker 2>leave it up there. They'll eat it and not hang it.
<v Speaker 2>So there's a there's different things that will happen when
<v Speaker 2>you're when you're talking to people. You have to ask
<v Speaker 2>the five w's, who, what, where or when, why, and
<v Speaker 2>the conditions. If you're in an area that is conducive
<v Speaker 2>to prey fish, maybe there's more ground chickens in the area,
<v Speaker 2>or you know, birds, turkeys and such, you're gonna have
<v Speaker 2>higher population possibly of that area. You just have to
<v Speaker 2>be vigilant to watch your area, listen, find out what's
<v Speaker 2>going on. When I saw that one up north that
<v Speaker 2>I that I do have the video of it, we
<v Speaker 2>were out there looking for what we were looking for,
<v Speaker 2>you know, looking to because we heard the wood knocks.
<v Speaker 2>We heard, you know, you could hear wood knocks through
<v Speaker 2>the through the forest, and the wood knocks were very
<v Speaker 2>healthy wood knocks. It was somebody picked up a log
<v Speaker 2>and hit another, hit a tree, and we would we
<v Speaker 2>would return to the woodknocks. Just now to know where
<v Speaker 2>we were there, I'm sure they knew we were there, but
<v Speaker 2>to have them where you could watch an area and
<v Speaker 2>they'll run try to get your attention. They're good at deception.
<v Speaker 2>So look over here. Well, our family unit moves over there.
<v Speaker 2>So when they threw rocks at me to get my attention,
<v Speaker 2>that was to so the one down to the bottom
<v Speaker 2>could get away, or you know that one was standing
<v Speaker 2>there looking at me straight on. There's two more that
<v Speaker 2>were to the side of us, and we have pictures
<v Speaker 2>of them as well that they were running through the
<v Speaker 2>woods trying to get our attention a different way. So
<v Speaker 2>am I scared of them. I'm respectful of them when
<v Speaker 2>you if you can't, if you come up to if
<v Speaker 2>you've got a sass squatch in front of you, last
<v Speaker 2>thing you want to do is stand your ground. You
<v Speaker 2>got to you gotta kind of like keep your feet,
<v Speaker 2>just trying to look down. Don't look them in the eye.
<v Speaker 2>You know, same with a barrier, you don't look them
<v Speaker 2>in the eye. But you watch what they're doing and
<v Speaker 2>make sure that they just give them respect. But you
<v Speaker 2>also have to be vigilant that these things probably could
<v Speaker 2>tear your arms up that big and if you're seeing
<v Speaker 2>young uns or or you know you've got a brood going,
<v Speaker 2>I always have to watch for that stuff. But just
<v Speaker 2>incredible amount of stuff. My wife and I were up
<v Speaker 2>in the Up for a day trip and we had
<v Speaker 2>stopped along to watch the eagles and the trees along
<v Speaker 2>the back roads just over by Newberry. I believe it
<v Speaker 2>was Newberry over by the it's a cominant falls, and
<v Speaker 2>we pulled off the side of the road just to
<v Speaker 2>watch a couple of eagles that were soaring through, you know,
<v Speaker 2>landed in the trees. Could always tell with the white heads,
<v Speaker 2>white tails. And we were standing there and we heard
<v Speaker 2>a wood knock clear as day within the area. My
<v Speaker 2>wife says, huh, they're up here too. It was there
<v Speaker 2>that we knew that there's a lot more of them
<v Speaker 2>throughout the throughout the country and then what people think.
<v Speaker 2>We didn't see any of that at that point, but
<v Speaker 2>we could hear the woodknockx, we could hear the screams
<v Speaker 2>in the woods. We went up to Lake Spearere State
<v Speaker 2>Park and stayed overnight up there, and I had gotten
<v Speaker 2>up early in the morning to do some aggat haunting
<v Speaker 2>on the beach and I got down to the water
<v Speaker 2>and I heard a howl from up the beach. They
<v Speaker 2>and it was a good long eight maybe a ten
<v Speaker 2>second howl, so they were they were in the area
<v Speaker 2>as well. I mean, they're just you know, again, you
<v Speaker 2>have to be kind of vigilant when you go out
<v Speaker 2>in the woods. Always wondered, you know, Dad always talked
<v Speaker 2>to us about watching for bear up there, but now
<v Speaker 2>you got to watch for sasquatch as well. But when
<v Speaker 2>you're when you're looking dead on that, when you see
<v Speaker 2>those animals, those beings looking back at you, I can
<v Speaker 2>guarantee you probably just going to stand there and gog
<v Speaker 2>at them because you're just not your brain doesn't quite
<v Speaker 2>grasp the idea that they're real. But once you see them,
<v Speaker 2>and once you start having experiences and what you once
<v Speaker 2>you know what to look for and what to listen
<v Speaker 2>for when you go out in the woods, you know,
<v Speaker 2>you're you're walking down the woods and all of a
<v Speaker 2>sudden it becomes super quiet. No no bugs, no birds, nothing.
<v Speaker 2>You start looking around, start looking for signs that that
<v Speaker 2>you know. Somebody said, well, if you see scratches eight
<v Speaker 2>feet up on a tree, typically that is going to
<v Speaker 2>be a sasquatch going to be doing that, unless it
<v Speaker 2>rarely does a bear stand up and hit eight feet up.
<v Speaker 2>They'll hit about six feet up when they When they
<v Speaker 2>do that, you look for different things in the in
<v Speaker 2>the world. It was for broken branches, you know, just
<v Speaker 2>different things that that would signify there's something in the area,
<v Speaker 2>how how fresh the branches are broken. We found trees
<v Speaker 2>upside down, jammed into the ground and rootsticking up now
<v Speaker 2>and not any where. Somebody had dug up and planted
<v Speaker 2>these trees upside down. These things were jabbed into the ground.
<v Speaker 2>When we saw the one that I had the video
<v Speaker 2>of it was it was clear as day. It was
<v Speaker 2>a cold day, but it was still. You know, you
<v Speaker 2>could you could hear things in the forest. You get
<v Speaker 2>up to that you got to be bold enough to say, okay,
<v Speaker 2>I see something, be cautious enough to go hike into
<v Speaker 2>to see what you saw. If you saw a tree
<v Speaker 2>standing up or was it an actual sasquatch, you know
<v Speaker 2>that the whole thing is is that sasquatch they'll move.
<v Speaker 2>A tree doesn't, a stump does not. So some people,
<v Speaker 2>you know, the biggest thing, we're blob squatches that were
<v Speaker 2>out there. People take blob squatches. Well, the cameras have
<v Speaker 2>evolved enough that you actually have very good camera pictures
<v Speaker 2>now that are realistic. I mean, you have got ai
<v Speaker 2>that that people are doing. And then you have the
<v Speaker 2>purists that are taking these pictures. When I was up,
<v Speaker 2>I have a cabin up mid Michigan, mid upper Michigan
<v Speaker 2>on one of the rivers up there. We were sitting
<v Speaker 2>out with our next door neighbor. This was about two
<v Speaker 2>years ago, sitting with my next door neighbor out at
<v Speaker 2>the fire pit, and we heard a howl at the
<v Speaker 2>end of the driveway and my wife says, did you
<v Speaker 2>hear that? And I said, yeah, yeah, we heard that.
<v Speaker 2>Went started recording. We have recording equipment, digital recorders that
<v Speaker 2>we use. About five six different ones. Started recording and
<v Speaker 2>we do have the recordings of that as well. In
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and five when I had my first bona
<v Speaker 2>fide saying he was right there. Two thousand and seven
<v Speaker 2>when he was right there in front of me. I
<v Speaker 2>had started doing recordings every night and I have I
<v Speaker 2>would say, roughly eleven thousand hours of recordings, of which
<v Speaker 2>I probably have a good thousand hours of howls, wood knocks.
<v Speaker 2>We set a recorder out on a spot in northern
<v Speaker 2>Lower Michigan and in the middle of the woods, and
<v Speaker 2>it sounded like a construction going on. When we listened
<v Speaker 2>to it, you could hear the wood being moved around
<v Speaker 2>and placed, and it was it was interesting to say, well,
<v Speaker 2>this is in the middle of the night. Why am
<v Speaker 2>I hearing these these trees being moved around and stuff,
<v Speaker 2>and go in the next day and you've got teepees,
<v Speaker 2>and you've got x's, and you've got different things that
<v Speaker 2>weren't there the day before. Not to mention footprints that
<v Speaker 2>are are aware between sixteen and eighteen inches long, and
<v Speaker 2>you can see them in the sand in the mud.
<v Speaker 2>You can see the progress of them doing stuff. I
<v Speaker 2>put together a teepee, if you will, of branches that
<v Speaker 2>I could pick up, and my fellow researcher went in
<v Speaker 2>the next day and said, well, you put that up
<v Speaker 2>at night last night, just before night. And I came
<v Speaker 2>back in the next day. That's been pushed down, and
<v Speaker 2>they erected a rather larger one up next to it.
<v Speaker 2>Not the same construction, but you know, they pushed yours down.
<v Speaker 2>It's all pushed down. So something got up there and
<v Speaker 2>pushed it down, made it fall down. And yet you
<v Speaker 2>have these things that you see that when you're when
<v Speaker 2>you're up in the woods that you just are not right,
<v Speaker 2>Like if you're looking at a channel in a tree
<v Speaker 2>that maybe it's looking out at you. It just it's
<v Speaker 2>doesn't move, but you feel that there's something watching you.
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you if you're I went out with
<v Speaker 2>my friend out out of TC and we were up
<v Speaker 2>hiking and I was telling them. I said, look, you've
<v Speaker 2>got to be hyper vigilant of what you're seeing. And
<v Speaker 2>I stopped and I looked, and I could look through
<v Speaker 2>these trees. There was an open area in the tree.
<v Speaker 2>There was a big apple tree in front of us,
<v Speaker 2>and then uh like junipers, a row of junipers, and
<v Speaker 2>there was some maple trees. And I stopped and I looked,
<v Speaker 2>and he says, what are you doing? I said, I
<v Speaker 2>need you to come over here. Come over here, and
<v Speaker 2>he got in front of me and I pushed him
<v Speaker 2>slowly over until he could look straight through. And there
<v Speaker 2>was a pair of eyes looking back at us. He says,
<v Speaker 2>is that what I think it is? I said, yep,
<v Speaker 2>that's exactly what you think it is. He says, that's
<v Speaker 2>not that far away. I said, nope, nope, not that
<v Speaker 2>he's watching us. But you could see right through this tunnel,
<v Speaker 2>if you will, to this eyes looking back at us,
<v Speaker 2>and it was a dark figure and it was about
<v Speaker 2>seven feet off the ground and this hole was and
<v Speaker 2>we were looking straight through and I said, come on,
<v Speaker 2>let's let's go for let's go over here, and we
<v Speaker 2>walked around the tree and by the time we got
<v Speaker 2>back to that spot, we looked through and we could
<v Speaker 2>see the hole all the way through where we were standing,
<v Speaker 2>and there was nothing there. There wasn't a stump, there
<v Speaker 2>wasn't anything. It was too it was just and we
<v Speaker 2>looked down and started looking at the ground, and the
<v Speaker 2>ground it had been disturbed like something had been standing there.
<v Speaker 2>And we got over to the sandy part and you
<v Speaker 2>could actually see an outline of a foot and we
<v Speaker 2>take pictures, pull out the measuring tape and take pictures
<v Speaker 2>of something that's sixteen feet by almost seven feet or
<v Speaker 2>seven inches whye you know, sixteen inches by seven inches
<v Speaker 2>why and flat? And you could see the toes dig
<v Speaker 2>into the ground where it took off running. And then
<v Speaker 2>you're walking through there going this is a perfect trail,
<v Speaker 2>and it's not a human trail. This is just a
<v Speaker 2>game trail through the area that is big enough that
<v Speaker 2>if we can walk through it. But it's definitely a
<v Speaker 2>game trail. You find deer prints down there, you find
<v Speaker 2>the turkey prints and different things up there, but you
<v Speaker 2>find the footprints following these deer prints, and these are
<v Speaker 2>big footprints I'm a size twelve shoe and it's still
<v Speaker 2>bigger than my foot. And you have to use reference,
<v Speaker 2>you know, use a tape measure. If you don't have
<v Speaker 2>a tape measure, use something that is reference. Put a
<v Speaker 2>dollar bill down to show the size of the footprint.
<v Speaker 2>Dollar bill is approximately five six inches long. If you
<v Speaker 2>know what the size is when you're comparing it. You
<v Speaker 2>look for these physical evidence, so you know, I collect
<v Speaker 2>sound evidence, I collect physical evidence. We find hairs and
<v Speaker 2>we take a look at the hairs. I have a
<v Speaker 2>microscope in the truck. I pull out, look at the microscope,
<v Speaker 2>put it out of the microscope. If it's an actual follicle,
<v Speaker 2>it'll look different than what a plant fiber will look like.
<v Speaker 2>You just have to understand that of what you're looking
<v Speaker 2>at under the Under the microscope, we have found toughs
<v Speaker 2>of hair and thinking, well, that's that's kind of strange
<v Speaker 2>tough of hair. It's kind of a softer fur. And
<v Speaker 2>then it turns out it's it's you know, it's a
<v Speaker 2>softer fur, but it's not a animal that you know,
<v Speaker 2>and you have to have had contacts in and around
<v Speaker 2>the area to have that stuff. Taking a look at
<v Speaker 2>we were collecting feces in Washington State, UH and sending
<v Speaker 2>them out to a lab and finding out that they
<v Speaker 2>the feces that we were sending out had an asiatic
<v Speaker 2>DNA area that was only synonymous for for primates in Asia. Now,
<v Speaker 2>the theory goes is that the sasquats were actually came
<v Speaker 2>across the land bridge up in Alaska and came down
<v Speaker 2>through the Pacific Northwest and moved east and sege. But
<v Speaker 2>if you have feces that is coiled up, you know,
<v Speaker 2>two or three feet long if you stretched it out
<v Speaker 2>and the size of a pop can, the wide wideness
<v Speaker 2>of a pop can, typically that's not going to be
<v Speaker 2>a bear. Bear is going to leave a pile. There's
<v Speaker 2>no animals out there that will leave feces out there
<v Speaker 2>for you. In this we sent samples out to have
<v Speaker 2>it DNA tested, and you can find the DNA testing
<v Speaker 2>sites around. Most of the time it was coming in
<v Speaker 2>as inconclusive, but it was also they had the asiatic
<v Speaker 2>strain in the feces DNA strain that was only found
<v Speaker 2>in Asia. So again that was that was a telltale
<v Speaker 2>sign that that was something that for a long time
<v Speaker 2>still had the strain from that and then finding the
<v Speaker 2>hair samples and the follicles and find the DNA. A
<v Speaker 2>lot of the times that stuff was sent in you
<v Speaker 2>always had problems with making sure that you had the
<v Speaker 2>root on the follicle for testing on the DNA and
<v Speaker 2>being able to get some of that stuff. Now, I'm
<v Speaker 2>not a scientist. I just know that what we were
<v Speaker 2>doing for collecting these specimens and trying to understand these
<v Speaker 2>animals and what they do. Now they're an animal. Don't
<v Speaker 2>feed them, please, don't feed them. Don't do any type
<v Speaker 2>of food gifting. If you step, they get angry and
<v Speaker 2>things happen, and bad things can happen. If you're going
<v Speaker 2>to observe. I know that I haven't. On my property
<v Speaker 2>up north, we observe, we listen, We do not gift,
<v Speaker 2>We do not leave. Now, you can leave toys out
<v Speaker 2>if you want to, but that's sort of gifting. If
<v Speaker 2>you don't continue to do that, that could be considered
<v Speaker 2>bad and they'll come after, especially if it's food. They'll say,
<v Speaker 2>why didn't you leave me an apple? Why did you know?
<v Speaker 2>Where's my where's my meat? Where's whatever? They've become domesticated,
<v Speaker 2>just like bears do, and they can come in and
<v Speaker 2>things can get ugly. But the biggest thing is just
<v Speaker 2>keep in your mind what is going to be out
<v Speaker 2>in the woods. If you look out into the woods
<v Speaker 2>and you see something move out of your side of
<v Speaker 2>your vision, take a look and look at that and
<v Speaker 2>just just look at it. I'm sure that I've walked
<v Speaker 2>past many a sasquatch in the area and not even
<v Speaker 2>know that they're right there. They do have a distinct
<v Speaker 2>smell that they have. Sometimes they'll just really be really
<v Speaker 2>futrid run into that. But to see a sasquatch and
<v Speaker 2>to react to me is you just got to step back.
<v Speaker 2>And if they get aggressive, you know they if they
<v Speaker 2>get aggressive, then you've got to really step back. Don't
<v Speaker 2>run because then your prey. But you have to step
<v Speaker 2>back and just you know, acknowledge them. Don't get that close.
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you're if you're going to be going
<v Speaker 2>into the woods, take somebody with you. Not a lot
<v Speaker 2>of people. I mean, you can go by yourself, but
<v Speaker 2>make sure you're on designated trails that there are other
<v Speaker 2>people around with you. But if you're going to go
<v Speaker 2>in the woods, always make sure you've got one other
<v Speaker 2>person with you, and take a take a phone with you.
<v Speaker 2>You can get some good pictures on your phone. Document
<v Speaker 2>document everything. Ask the five w's, well, where, when, why,
<v Speaker 2>and who who's with me? Who can collaborate? You know,
<v Speaker 2>you'll I've come across them in the in the woods.
<v Speaker 2>I've come across them on the roads. I've come across
<v Speaker 2>them and uh, in the swamp areas. But you just
<v Speaker 2>have to watch for them. It's just amazing to investigate now,
<v Speaker 2>to go and say, Okay, I believe the real I've
<v Speaker 2>had my experiences, and I've got the recordings, I've got
<v Speaker 2>the video evidence. You know. I do have DNA reports
<v Speaker 2>that they've they've given us. I've checked out, you know,
<v Speaker 2>to see what other people have come across, not to mention,
<v Speaker 2>you know, other reports in the area. I've done my
<v Speaker 2>research where they will be and in certain areas. Some
<v Speaker 2>people they say, well, they they hybernate in a certain area.
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I think they stay awake all year long.
<v Speaker 2>Other ones will say they commute from one area up
<v Speaker 2>just like the just like birds do, flying north for
<v Speaker 2>the summer and south for the winter. I don't. I
<v Speaker 2>don't know if they do that or not either, but
<v Speaker 2>I do know that I've had experiences in the middle
<v Speaker 2>of the winter up north. I've had experiences down in
<v Speaker 2>Detroit area outside of Detroit, not in Detroit, but some
<v Speaker 2>of the woods and areas in there. And it's interesting
<v Speaker 2>to investigate and learn about what people have experienced because
<v Speaker 2>it changes you. It changes everything. Like I said, it
<v Speaker 2>took me a year to go back in the woods
<v Speaker 2>by myself. Again, I tried to go back to the
<v Speaker 2>woods and I was stood next to my truck in
<v Speaker 2>the woods because I'd rather be able to jump in
<v Speaker 2>the truck and take off out of there over being
<v Speaker 2>out in the woods where you know you're in the
<v Speaker 2>open there. So just about doesmit for this hour.
<v Speaker 4>Well that's it for tonight show. If you've had a
<v Speaker 4>big Foot siding and would like to be a guest,
