I Felt Like I was in Someone Else’s Home - My Bigfoot Sighting Episode 141
On September 15th, of 1997, tonight’s guest, Myron Ptak, had a Sasquatch sighting up on Gavins Point Dam, in South Dakota. When he had that sighting, he was scoping out an area that he planned to bow hunt. The area where he had that sighting had tons of trees and it was around 4:30 in the morning, so the area where he was it very dark. Suddenly, something caught his attention off to his left. It wasn’t a deer, bear, an elk, or a person in a ghillie suit. It was a Sasquatch, and it walked by, right in front of him…

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, where the roofs 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 banjam music. Yeah. If you'd like to be able to listen to the show without ads and have full access to bonus content, that's an option. To find out how, please go to my Bigfootsighting dot com. My bigfoot sighting was in nineteen ninety seven. My name is Myron Attack and I'm from South Dakota and right now this prior year, I'm sixty one years old. And my sighting a big foot was back in September fifteenth, nineteen ninety seven, and it happened up on Gavin's Point. Damn. South Dakota started bow hunting with my brother back in ninety five, and the colony which is called Bonholme County Colony Tabor, South Dakota up on Gavin's born dam on the South Dakota side. My family was the only only ones that were allowed to hunt the land, and they had like thirty five thousand acres of trees wooded area. And if anybody knows anything about the colonies, there's who to rights mena nights and each person has their own job title. And the ones that we became friends with, they call them the cattlemen or cowmen. They're in charge of all the cattle that ranged the grace of the hills. All the hills were pretty pretty overgrown with trees. You had walnut and you had egg corn, and you had spruce, and you had all kinds of trees. And in these trees, you know when you go hunting. They had a lot of pack of coyotes. They have big cats, mountain lions, cougars, same thing, bob kats and lynx. So we became good friends with Reuben. He was one of the cow guys. And there are certain things that they cannot do, you know, there's certain beliefs and religions that they're not allowed to do. Well, they would introduce us to some of their ways and we would introduce them to some of our ways. We became good friends. But through the time of hunting, we would hear all kinds of stories, you know, we'd talk about the big deer in the buck that they would see, how big the racks were, and so forth, and it started getting a little deeper into discussion, and we would talk about the coyotes and the big cats, anything that was out of the north, and they would tell us about sometimes they'd come across the cow, the young calf, or a deer that basically they'd find dead. Basically it were just ripped apart. And anybody that knows if you can grow up in in the country in the woods, coyotes and big cats can't do that, especially the way that they had described what they had seen. And whenever we'd go, we'd have to get down, we'd have to get back out of the hills before dark because the pack of coyotes and stuff were so thick. And when we're down there hunting, I'm going through all this thicket. Every once in a while you get the feeling that you're being watched. You don't know from what over here in that area. There are no bears, so we don't have to worry about bears. Basically, it's just cats and you know the coyotes. In nineteen ninety six, over in Sante, Nebraska, over on the reservation, there was a lady that was hanging some clothes out online and she had witnessed what she calls a bigfoot at the edge of the trees watching her. So anyway, she had reported it to the tribal well. Word got out to the news and it was all over the news that there was a big foot sighting over in San te Well along the Gavins Point Damn. In the wintertime, when the lake would freeze over, animals would crisscross one side to the other. You would have coyotes, cougars, deer crossing back and forth. Where I had witnessed my bigfoot sighting was not too far up on the dam from Santi was across the lake. So my brother and I were scouting two weeks prior to September fifteenth and nineteen ninety seven. We were scouting a place to put up a tree stand, and I come across this big thicket of cedars, tall tall cedars, and I thought, well, if I can get one of those big trees. That'd be great. So I started working my way into this big grove of trees, these cedar trees, and I had to get down on my hands and knees and crawl in. And at that time we had a rifle just for protection and so fortunate cats and coyotes and stuff. So I had to crawl in on my hands and knees underneath the branches of this of these cedars. And I got to the middle of this big grove of cedars and there was an open spot about eight ten feet in diameter. And I found it really strange because there was nothing in the middle of this except for there was it looked like a bed of branches just laying there. And as I looked up the trees, the branches weren't cut. They were not cut with a saw, and they were not tore off, you know by antler shed you know when the bucks and so forth, you know, they start to run. It was none of that, because there's no way a deer could have got in there with the antlers. What happened was these branches were ripped off the trees about ten feet up. Now, if I stand on my toes, I can reach eight feet and these branches that were ripped off are two feet higher than that. And when you rip a branch off, it leaves, it kind of pulls down the park. Well, anyway, I started thinking about that sighting the year prior of that sighting of the Bigfoot over in Sant Tea, and I started getting this weird feeling that I was in somebody's home, and so I yelled at my brother. He came over there, and he crawled down under there too, just like I did. And I asked him, I said, what do you think did this? And he said, wow, it's probably a dearest. I says, there's no way a buck could have got in here, you know, there's no way. And so I said, look at those branches, I said, they were ripped off and they're laying in a bed. So we left and we started scouting more land and so forth, and that was on my mind a lot. Well, then we'll move ahead two weeks after, which would have been fifteenth of September. And again my brother and I were the only ones who had the authority to go in on that property. All of that, those acres of trees, thirty five thousand acres of hills, and so we drive down to the bottom just to make sure there's nobody there. And this was at three o'clock in the morning, three am, so we just wanted to make sure there's nobody around. We came back up and we got out, opened the gate, and we drove up into the hills. There's no houses that are even close. Now, we're driving up there in the pitch black. We get up on top of the hill. We back up, and we're facing to the south. On the other side. You can see from the glow of the sky. He knew ahead of you was Cavin's Point. Damn. We were up on a high point. We back up into the cedar trees, and so about four fifteen I get out of the truck. My brother stayed in the truck because it was kind of cold out and he had fell through the ice years before and he got frostbites, so he couldn't handle the cold very well. So I get out and I walk about sixty feet over this little bank in front of the truck where I lost sight of the truck, and I brought myself down beside this little four foot seedar. Off to my left, about seventy five yards was this big patch of cedars where I've seen or I thought I witnessed a nest, which in relation to the Bigfoot. So I'm sitting there next to this tree, and it was kind of a cool breeze and the wind was kind of going at an angle in between. The deer path was down below me that goes down to the lake. Now, about four point thirty in the morning, I noticed the sun started to give an orange glow on the Nebraska side, and then it could start making out the ridges of the Nebraska hills. And then a few minutes later you could start seeing the glow on the lake, and then you can kind of make out the image of the hills on the other side. But it was still too dark for anybody that was out there without a flashlight to know where they're going. I mean, it was still that dark. And so I'm sitting there and I'm waiting, and I'm looking just with my eyes because I don't want to make any movement in case any deer came down on that trail they headed down to the lake. So as I'm sitting there and I'm just watching the glow come up and I start making I could start seeing the ridge of the Nebraska hills and the cedars that were in front of me, and down below where this goes down to the lake. I could start making out the image of those trees, and then all of a sudden, off to my left. Now at this time, I did not have a rifle, I did not have a phone, did not have camera. All I had was my knife and my bow. And off to my left something caught my attention, and about thirty five forty feet from me on that trail, this thing stood up right. It was not a deer. Again, we don't have beer, wasn't an elk, and it was not a person in a gilly suit. The slope of the ground where it went down, I got the upper portion of the upper torso to the top of the head. This thing walked right down into the pitch black, and I got it perfect. I couldn't see his eyes or anything. I just got the silhette of this huge body walking in front of me, walking right down into the pitch black. I was sitting beside this little cedar tree, and I had some camels on it so far, and I was perfectly still, and I've seen that thing, and I tell you what, my heart started racing, and I thought, oh my god, I gotta get as soon as I as soon as this thing is out of sight, I got to get back to the truck. So it just as silently as could be. It walked right down in front of me, right down into the pitch blag going to the lake, and I figured it was going down to the water. As soon as it disappeared where I couldn't even see it anymore, I signed, I got up as quickly as I could, and I backed up for the first ten feet, and then I turned around and I ran back to the truck. And usually I'm pretty careful with my bow and stuff like that, at that point in time, I didn't care. I threw it in the back of the truck. I got in the truck and I looked at my brother and said, we got to go. He said why, I so you don't. You don't want to know what I'd just seen. I said, well, we got to go. So he's started the truck, and as we got down, he said, well we got shut gate. I said, I don't even care about the gate. Let's just go. I'm not shutting no gate. Out of locked the door in the truck and we left, and I'm just sitting here. I'm just quiet for about the first three or four miles out of there, because it was all heavily wooded on the roads and stuff, and I thought for sure again to see something else across the road. So we got out of there, started going down the road where we were in the clearing, and I finally spoke up and told him what I saw. And I had to remind him. I said, two weeks before, I said, you remember that spot and the cedars where all them branches were tore down, and you thought it was a deer. I said, that was no deer. I said, remember the year before that, ladies spotted a big foot across across the lake. And he remembered that. And I said, Kevin, I says, I says, Kevin is my brother. I said, I know what I saw. It was not a man in gilly suit. It was you know it was I know what it's all has a bigfoot and I see an upper Torso well, I didn't never ever ever go back in the dark on to that spot, went out there one day. It was several months later I went back there. It was actually September October November December it was probably five months later. I went back and that little seedar was sitting there, and I remember I seeing that, seeing the trail that where that thing walked down. I looked to the left where the cedars were, and I remember kind of marking that thing with the trees kind of gave me a ballpark of how tall this thing was. And as we sat there and I looked at it and I focused, I remember, you know, the markings that I kind of visualized, and we we figured it's probably between seven and a half and eight feet tall. And after that, I never went back. I do not bow hunt in the dark anymore. Uh. Basically I gave that up, you know. Yeah, it's scared, scared the daylights out of me. I know what I saw, and I respect it, and I have not told very many people about it because they think you're crazy. When you start talking about it, then they start asking you, well, why don't you ever see why don't you ever find their bodies in the net. I can't answer that, but I do know what I saw, and there's nobody in this world tell me indifferent. Growing up. Here's another fascinating story before I jump to that story, the place where I see in this Bigfoot. Okay, So d n R and Corp of Engineers made an agreement with the colony because they wanted to open up their land for more hunters. So after the colony made the agreement that they were going to get paid each month by the Corp of Engineers in DNR for allowing hunters to come in. The sad part is after they signed that, the following year they had three other colony men and they wiped out every tree on every hill. Now that the hills are basically bare, they're starting to slip because there's nothing to hold the soil. But all of that vegetation, they pushed out the big cats, the coyotes, the deer, and obviously this creature, the bigfoot that I had seen, you know, moved on where I could not tell you, but I'm pretty sure that if the lakes froze that year, I'm pretty sure that it went back across the lake because on Nebraska side there was a lot more cover, and so I'm pretty sure that's where it went back to. But jumped to another story. When I was a kid, at about seven or eight years old, we had met some people in Hill City, South Dakota, and he was kind of like your grandfather to me. He went by his name. His nickname was Frenchie. His actual name was Clarence, but he won by Frenchie. Looked like an old mountain man. Anyway, he worked for the forestry, and he had told me stories about different things, you know, from Montana. When he worked up by country. What they did was they went in and they did fire lines. That's where they cleared strips in case there's ever a fire. And so anyway, he had told me about a story where him and one of his fellow work were up in the high country on a dozer. They were doing fire lines, taking down trees so you know, if there was a fire it had to avoid there. And during lunchtime when they get done, they had just go and lay down on the logs that they stacked and taken. Then app over the lunch hour, and he said that you know, when you're out there on the dozer, you're way out in the middle of nowhere. You know something is watching you. He said. This particular time, he said it was really eerie. He said, after they got done at lunch, during lunch, they parked the doser and it was all fresh dirt from the lad and they'd go and lay on these logs. He said, when they got up and they went back to the dozer, he noticed these huge human like footprints coming from the trees, came up to the dozer, got up on the dozer. You could see what he said. You could see where it got up on one side and it got down on the other side and walked off into the trees. And it wasn't too far from where they were sleeping on this pile of logs. And he said, another thing, you said, up on the ridge, if you look at the top of the mountain, he said, there was a silver object up there, kind of looked like a silver stream camper. He said, there's no roads up there. There's no way that anything could have got up there. There wasn't no weather blown, it wasn't an airplane crash. But he said it was sitting up there on the edge of that mountain. And he said they washed it for a while, and he said then after that it was gone. And so if you stop to think about the stories that you hear about Bigfoot and the sightings, sometimes you also hear and you hear about sightings of UFOs about in the same area, which takes me back to another story. I was growing up over in South Sioux City, Nebraska, where I grew up back in the seventies, there was a lot of stories about sightings of UFOs, and I remember one night in particular, there was a lot of sightings around the area. My dad my brother were coming home. They seen this cigar shaped type thing in the air and that landed back behind our place about a mile in the trees, and they went back there. They couldn't find it well shortly, I think it was like the next night after that, my dad was outside doing the artwork and he came in. It would just before dark, and he said, do you hear that? All the dogs in the neighborhood are going crazy? And so we all went out listened, and every dog in our neighborhood, every one of them. You know, like if a siren goes off, dog starts to howl. These weren't howls. These dogs were going like barking, like crazy. That's something they could sent something anyway. That evening, somebody called in and was on the news that they spotted a bigfoot coming through our neighborhood, and somebody followed it and they said it got over to the Missouri River and crossed the Missouri River into Iowa, which would be over by Sioux City, Iowa. Well, at the same time with these UFO sightings and Bigfoot sightings, about the same same timeframe. Over near Emerson, Nebraska, we had some old friends that lived over there. There was a storm one night. The farmer noticed that he had a bunch of cattle laying out in the field. Thought maybe they got struck by lightning. Now there's no tracks anywhere, there's no fresh tracks of vehicles on the roads, nothing, But every one of them cattle were dead. They were drained of blood, and they had parts that were cuarterized, you know, removed, and you see some of that. You watch some of these shows on TV, and that's basically the same thing. There was no explanation. They thought maybe it was a bunch of kids playing you know, pranks, going out killing cattle and so forth. But there was no tracks or nothing. This was during the storm. So you stopped to think about the Bigfoot sightings, and then you start to bring in the UFOs. The UFOs and the bigfoots all have something in common. Now white people can't find them I can't explain that, but I know what I seen, and there's nobody going to change my mind on what I saw, what I felt, and the things that I have seen and remembered growing up, and some of the stories that were told to me, you know from Frenchy along with some other UFO sidings. It is real. I can't talk anybody into believe in it unless you've actually been there, unless you've actually seen it and witnessed it like paranormal. I have had that experience as well. So why I'm chosen to witness this, I don't know. When I first seen it the Bigfoot, yeah I was scared, but then I come to respect it because there's a lot of unanswered things out there and that we can't explain. But there's a fascination now about it. So every time I go anywhere in Minnesota wherever, you start to think. So now every time I go out, if I'm in the wooded area, it's like, hey, let's go out and see if we can hears some knocks. There's a fascination about it, and there's kind of a fear factor side of it too. So I can't explain why I seen it experienced it why I experienced the paranormal that I have in the past. So I am honored that I was the one that was chosen to see what I seen at that time. And so now I'm sharing my story with a lot of you because that's something I've never really let out. A few people I had told they told me I was crazy, so I kept that all in and now I'm sharing it with you. So I hope this kind of gives you something to think about and keep your eyes peeled when you're out and about, because to me, they are real. They do exist. So thank you for listening to my story, and I hope you take it to heart because they are out there. 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.
