Yellow Eyes in the Forest: A Childhood Encounter | The Transparent Figure in the Louisiana Woods

<v Speaker 1>Tonight on Sasquatch Theory, I'm joined by Paul from Louisiana,
<v Speaker 1>who shares a disturbing childhood encounter that stayed with him
<v Speaker 1>for decades. What began is a normal day playing near
<v Speaker 1>open fields and woods behind a friend's home quickly turned
<v Speaker 1>into something unexplainable. As an unknown presence approached. Paul witnessed
<v Speaker 1>a towering figure nearly seven feet tall, appearing hazy, almost transparent,
<v Speaker 1>with unmistakable yellow eyes watching from the edge of the forest.
<v Speaker 1>This encounter didn't just leave questions, it left lasting fear, disbelief,
<v Speaker 1>and trauma. Tonight, Paul walks us through what he saw,
<v Speaker 1>how it affected those involved, and why some encounters don't
<v Speaker 1>leave physical evidence, only scars. If you enjoy listening to

<v Speaker 1>your own bigfoot or crypted encounter you would like to
<v Speaker 1>share with me here on the channel, feel free to
<v Speaker 1>reach out sometime at Sasquatch Theory at outlook dot com.
<v Speaker 1>With all that being said, let's dive straight into Paul's
<v Speaker 1>bigfoot encounters from the state of Louisiana. All right, Paul,
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Sasquatch Theory. How are you doing.
<v Speaker 2>Today, good Miguel, thank you for having me on.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, Paul. If you would tell me a little
<v Speaker 1>bit about yourself, where you're from, and your bigfoot encounters
<v Speaker 1>and experiences from the very beginning, please.
<v Speaker 2>Sounds good man. So I live in southern Louisiana. I
<v Speaker 2>grew up in a town that is probably about twenty
<v Speaker 2>minutes or so from New Orleans. And the encounter that
<v Speaker 2>I had, I think I was around nine or ten,
<v Speaker 2>so it probably put me or put us in the
<v Speaker 2>eighties seventy nine eighty, probably around nineteen eighty it began.
<v Speaker 2>It was kind of spanned a couple of days, so
<v Speaker 2>I'll just kind of start at the beginning. I went
<v Speaker 2>down my street. I had a lot of kids in
<v Speaker 2>my subdivision that were around my age. You played together,
<v Speaker 2>hung up with friends, that type of thing. Went down
<v Speaker 2>the street to a particular friend's house, I think if
<v Speaker 2>I recall right, his name was Jeff or something like that.
<v Speaker 2>And across the street from his house there were a
<v Speaker 2>couple other homes, but kind of catty corner was some
<v Speaker 2>empty fields, some lots that weren't developed. They might have
<v Speaker 2>had trees on them. I think they had a couple
<v Speaker 2>of trees. But those lots backed up into the perimeter
<v Speaker 2>of a forest, right, So we used to go ride
<v Speaker 2>back in the forest in the woods, you know, quite
<v Speaker 2>a bit on our bikes, hanging out sometimes with build
<v Speaker 2>fires back there, and just kind of do kid stuff.
<v Speaker 2>I loved going in the woods when I was a
<v Speaker 2>kid with the were without friends, I was. I was
<v Speaker 2>always in there, hanging out, looking for things, just you know,
<v Speaker 2>it was it was fun. I mean, I've always appreciated
<v Speaker 2>the outdoors like that ever since I was I was
<v Speaker 2>a little kid. So anyway, this particular day, me and
<v Speaker 2>this fellow named Jeff, friend of mine. We weren't, I guess,
<v Speaker 2>real close, but you know, close enough to hang out periodically.
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, we were on our bikes and went to
<v Speaker 2>enter this forest. Again. It's it's across kind of Catecoria
<v Speaker 2>from this house, empty ish fields, and there was a
<v Speaker 2>ditch between the back of those lots right at the
<v Speaker 2>back of those properties. Again, no homes are one of
<v Speaker 2>these particular properties, Yet there was the ditch between the
<v Speaker 2>back of those properties and where the woods began. The
<v Speaker 2>perimeter of the woods. So there was a couple of
<v Speaker 2>like pieces of wood two by fours whatnot that allow
<v Speaker 2>you to walk over the ditch, you know, push your
<v Speaker 2>bike over, walk your bike over, that type of thing.
<v Speaker 2>So we had done that, hanging out in there, playing
<v Speaker 2>just you know, being silly and stuff. And I want
<v Speaker 2>to recall that that we had heard something. I'm not
<v Speaker 2>sure exactly what it was. It wasn't a growl anything
<v Speaker 2>like that. It was something though, that alerted us. I
<v Speaker 2>don't know if there's certain sounds. I want to say,
<v Speaker 2>it sounded maybe like something approaching us. Didn't see anything,
<v Speaker 2>Nothing was thrown, you know, no wood knocks or anything
<v Speaker 2>like that. No cracked wood or you know, no hollers
<v Speaker 2>it really anything like that. But I do recall us
<v Speaker 2>hearing something. You know, we stopped, we looked, kind of
<v Speaker 2>laughed it off a little bit, continued playing, riding our bikes,
<v Speaker 2>just you know, really messing around, and then heard it
<v Speaker 2>again and we're kind of, you know, let's let's just
<v Speaker 2>get out of here, right. I want to say the
<v Speaker 2>time of day, it was probably in the late afternoon,
<v Speaker 2>wasn't quite dusk yet, but it was you know, when
<v Speaker 2>you're the woods, you know, the tree still had leaves
<v Speaker 2>on them, so under the canopy it was kind of
<v Speaker 2>dark and it was getting darker. So were like, let's
<v Speaker 2>get out of here. So we left the next day.
<v Speaker 2>The next day I did. After that, we did the
<v Speaker 2>same thing. Hey, let's go, you know, right, bianks in
<v Speaker 2>the woods. And this is when I guess things started
<v Speaker 2>to get a little bit interesting. So as we're walking
<v Speaker 2>our bikes across that little wooden bridge, like I mentioned,
<v Speaker 2>I'm in front of him walking my bike. He's behind
<v Speaker 2>me walking his bike. We get into the woods probably
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, maybe thirty or so feet if that far,
<v Speaker 2>and we hear something in the bush, right, things shaking, moving,
<v Speaker 2>And then I look up and I see something. I
<v Speaker 2>don't know what it is. It's kind of it's how
<v Speaker 2>people describe cloaked Bigfoot. It wasn't like exactly like we
<v Speaker 2>see in the movie, you know, right, It wasn't like
<v Speaker 2>digitized or really I guess waving necessarily. But I could
<v Speaker 2>tell something was there, something kind of hazy, very tall.
<v Speaker 2>Outside of that, I couldn't make any at that moment anyway,
<v Speaker 2>any real distinctive, you know, impressions. Right. It was just
<v Speaker 2>kind of this this thing, and it looked like it
<v Speaker 2>was approaching us. So I'm like, oh, you know, well man,
<v Speaker 2>you see that. You know, we're both kind of you know, shouting,
<v Speaker 2>oh my god whatever. Jeff behind me, like he really
<v Speaker 2>he got very, very scared. And then that's a big
<v Speaker 2>part of this the story that I'm going to tell
<v Speaker 2>is how how different our experiences were, which which is
<v Speaker 2>kind of interesting. So he, you know, backs up, he
<v Speaker 2>gets out of here, he's he's in the in the lot.
<v Speaker 2>At this point, I turn around. I start walking my
<v Speaker 2>bike out, uh, you know, as fast as I can
<v Speaker 2>right without falling over and going into the ditch. So
<v Speaker 2>walking my bike. As I crossed the bridge, I looked
<v Speaker 2>behind me and well, I'm sorry, lead back up. Before
<v Speaker 2>I started pushing my bike across the bridge, I remember
<v Speaker 2>looking up and I think this is the first moment
<v Speaker 2>that I saw two eyes. And it wasn't you know.
<v Speaker 2>I was, like I said, ten years old, nineteen years old.
<v Speaker 2>I was probably like four foot something. I distinctly remember
<v Speaker 2>having to look up. So it was almost as if
<v Speaker 2>this thing at the time may have been around seven
<v Speaker 2>feet or so. And to let you know how close
<v Speaker 2>it was, like if it was you know, if it
<v Speaker 2>was if I could reach out and touch it. It
<v Speaker 2>was a solid object. It was within arm's reach as
<v Speaker 2>a kid, So I mean you're talking maybe like two feet,
<v Speaker 2>you know, my arm was maybe back then two two
<v Speaker 2>and a half feet. I remember looking up and I
<v Speaker 2>was again couldn't really make it out, but I remember
<v Speaker 2>starting to see two eyes or maybe what I thought
<v Speaker 2>was eyes. I crossed the bridge and as I'm walking
<v Speaker 2>through the field again hastily, right, we're going to his
<v Speaker 2>house because like we're scared, he's practically crying at this point.
<v Speaker 2>I want to describe his demeanor in a second. Two
<v Speaker 2>as I as I get into the field, I look
<v Speaker 2>back and this is where I saw two yellow eyes
<v Speaker 2>and they were lower this time. They were probably my
<v Speaker 2>eye height, you know again as a four four year old,
<v Speaker 2>five year old I'm sorry, nine or ten year old,
<v Speaker 2>I meant four or five feet. So whatever it was,
<v Speaker 2>right have either knelt down, crouched down, whatever it is,
<v Speaker 2>But the eyes were much lower this time. The eyes,
<v Speaker 2>as I recall them, were yellow, and it didn't have
<v Speaker 2>a perfect, you know, elliptical outline. It was almost as
<v Speaker 2>if it was kind of jagged edge with black black
<v Speaker 2>flex in it maybe, I know, that's strange to describe
<v Speaker 2>it that way. It's really hard to recall, you know,
<v Speaker 2>this far back because I'm fifty four now, so this
<v Speaker 2>is know, a long time ago, but I do remember
<v Speaker 2>seeing that. So we, you know, we go across the street,
<v Speaker 2>we go to his house and he immediately we don't
<v Speaker 2>even know if we get inside, but his dad is
<v Speaker 2>like around the doorway or whatever, and he starts telling
<v Speaker 2>his dad about this encounter. And this kid, Jeff, let
<v Speaker 2>me tell you about him. He is. He's a very
<v Speaker 2>i would say, stoic, intellectual kid. Right. He wasn't into sports,
<v Speaker 2>a little different. I mean, you know, nowadays might refer
<v Speaker 2>to him kind of as a nerd or something like that, which,
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm a nerd. Everybody's a nerd in their
<v Speaker 2>own way. But back then, like he played Dungeons and Dragons.
<v Speaker 2>I remember that was a big thing in his collected
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Star Wars toys and whatnot. I mean
<v Speaker 2>a lot of kids did that at that at that
<v Speaker 2>point because Star Wars had just come out of you know,
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years prior to. But he wasn't a
<v Speaker 2>really gregarious kid, you know, kind of a loner, an introvert,
<v Speaker 2>very uh it just you know, kind of like an intellectual.
<v Speaker 2>I mean he appreciated science, you know that that type
<v Speaker 2>of thing. I do remember that about it. It was a
<v Speaker 2>smart kid. So as he is, you know, talking I
<v Speaker 2>say talking kind of screaming to his dad, he's he's crying.
<v Speaker 2>I mean this thing it really affected him in a
<v Speaker 2>much more profound way than it affected me. Now, I was,
<v Speaker 2>you know, scared and curious, but I didn't feel like
<v Speaker 2>as if we were going to be in harm's way.
<v Speaker 2>I just knew we needed to, you know, get out
<v Speaker 2>of there. We didn't know what it was. But he
<v Speaker 2>was really beside himself, I mean like ridiculously beside himself, screaming, crying,
<v Speaker 2>red faced. I mean, it was just it was bad.
<v Speaker 2>He's telling his dad hiss like a you know, basically
<v Speaker 2>dismissing him, which you know, of course upset the kid
<v Speaker 2>more because he's like, we're not lying about this. You know. Again,
<v Speaker 2>he's not a kid that was you know, big into
<v Speaker 2>imagination and you know things like that. He's not a
<v Speaker 2>kid that I would say did a lot of bad
<v Speaker 2>things or got into trouble. So you know, I guess
<v Speaker 2>his parents not believing him. His dad not believing him
<v Speaker 2>was a little unusual, right, straight lace kid. So I
<v Speaker 2>left at that point it got uncomfortable because again it really,
<v Speaker 2>whatever it was, really affected him to the point where
<v Speaker 2>I mean he was almost speechless. Now after that, again
<v Speaker 2>went home, really didn't think about it much until a
<v Speaker 2>few years ago I started kind of getting back into
<v Speaker 2>you know, looking into big Foot, sasquash, just things in general.
<v Speaker 2>And I'll tell you at the time though, you know,
<v Speaker 2>for a nine ten year old kid, in my mind,
<v Speaker 2>I thought it might have been a ghost, some type
<v Speaker 2>of spirit. You know. I don't know what it was, right,
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you the last thing I would have
<v Speaker 2>thought would it had been something at all related to sasquatch, Bigfoot,
<v Speaker 2>anything like that. That was absolutely not something in my
<v Speaker 2>mind or maybe even vocabulary. I mean, I knew about Bigfoot,
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'd heard things. Again, this is nineteen eighty round,
<v Speaker 2>so I knew about it and stuff, but nothing, you know,
<v Speaker 2>nothing too material or nothing that you know. I didn't
<v Speaker 2>read books on it. I didn't really see shows on it.
<v Speaker 2>Although I do recall my dad talking about the legend
<v Speaker 2>of Boggy Creek. I do remember that that was really
<v Speaker 2>my only you know, exposure to the subject. Now I
<v Speaker 2>will say this too regarding the woods, because that was
<v Speaker 2>one thing. As I look back, I'm like, okay, was
<v Speaker 2>that area even big enough, you know, for something like
<v Speaker 2>that to be there at the time. And again, this
<v Speaker 2>around nineteen eighty, a lot of where we lived was undeveloped.
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't rural, you know, it was a suburban area.
<v Speaker 2>But the perimeter of the of the woods, of the
<v Speaker 2>forest I'm talking about connected to right, like if you
<v Speaker 2>had an aerial shot of it. Right, let's say we're
<v Speaker 2>looking at Google Maps, We're looking down at it, and
<v Speaker 2>this is nineteen eighty. It was thousands and thousands of
<v Speaker 2>acres of woods, swamp, ponds, lakes, right, It really was.
<v Speaker 2>And it actually went all the way to Lake Pontratrain,
<v Speaker 2>So it was a big area. So you know that,
<v Speaker 2>I guess that kind of answered my question of you know,
<v Speaker 2>is the territory even place something like this would would
<v Speaker 2>go or care about or you know whatever. Right, I
<v Speaker 2>never did, as I recall it. I think I might
<v Speaker 2>have spoken with Jeff about this afterwards, but he was
<v Speaker 2>very he was very short about it. He really didn't
<v Speaker 2>he didn't want to talk about it. You know, I
<v Speaker 2>could tell it really affected him, though I don't even
<v Speaker 2>know how much I hung out with him after that, right,
<v Speaker 2>and I'd probably say a year or two later, him
<v Speaker 2>and his family had had moved again. Looking back, the
<v Speaker 2>strangest thing to me about it, and having looked into
<v Speaker 2>other stories, I watch a lot of channels on this,
<v Speaker 2>this type of thing, just out of curiosity. So I
<v Speaker 2>am a believer. I've got my own thoughts on on
<v Speaker 2>you know what it is, kind of taking facts from
<v Speaker 2>a lot of different sources. This event I experienced was
<v Speaker 2>different than how he experienced it. I had. I'd also
<v Speaker 2>did a podcast episode or or YouTube channel episode on
<v Speaker 2>Strange Familiars, and I remember talking to the guy who
<v Speaker 2>hosts that, right, and he said, one of his favorite
<v Speaker 2>stories is when there was another person, you know, the
<v Speaker 2>head encounter, and he too was with someone else, but
<v Speaker 2>they both experienced the encounter very very differently. One of them,
<v Speaker 2>like me, I guess it was, you know, non threatening,
<v Speaker 2>I would say, again, scary, unusual. You know, you know
<v Speaker 2>you're taking aback. I mean, you know you don't want
<v Speaker 2>to you want to get away from it. You know,
<v Speaker 2>you don't know about it. It's strange, but the other
<v Speaker 2>party was very threatened by it and saw it in
<v Speaker 2>a very dark light. I don't know, demonic. I don't
<v Speaker 2>want to go so far as to say it was that,
<v Speaker 2>but definitely something that went just beyond the you know, wow,
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen that before. This is strange, don't know
<v Speaker 2>what it is. You know, let's be cautious and get
<v Speaker 2>away from it, right, And he said again. The host
<v Speaker 2>of the other YouTube channel was like, you know, that
<v Speaker 2>was by far one of his most favorite stories, just
<v Speaker 2>because how differently two people at the same time the
<v Speaker 2>same encounter, if you will, perceived it differently, And you know,
<v Speaker 2>wondered whether or not the thing affected that, right, if
<v Speaker 2>my perception in living through the experience at that moment,
<v Speaker 2>was affected in a way by how he how it
<v Speaker 2>wanted me to perceive it as opposed to how Jeff
<v Speaker 2>perceived it. Interesting dichotomy, right, So but really that, you know,
<v Speaker 2>that's that's kind of it. It's not really a I guess,
<v Speaker 2>nearly as good as some of the other encounters. But
<v Speaker 2>one thing I have noticed is that since I recalled this,
<v Speaker 2>and like I said, I've been on a couple of
<v Speaker 2>other podcasts. I have heard stories, a few other stories
<v Speaker 2>so far obviously talk about cloaking, right, but I've even
<v Speaker 2>heard some talk about yellow eyes and describing them in
<v Speaker 2>a way similar to how I recall this, which I
<v Speaker 2>thought was very interesting, right because you hear about I've
<v Speaker 2>heard about red eyes, maybe even orange eyes. Nothing. I
<v Speaker 2>hadn't really heard anything about yellow eyes. But I have
<v Speaker 2>since heard some about that cloaking. Obviously, you know that's
<v Speaker 2>come up. It seems like that's coming up more and more.
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen any orbs that I recall. But whatever
<v Speaker 2>it was, I'm pretty sure whatever we had experienced a
<v Speaker 2>day or two before that made us want to leave,
<v Speaker 2>you know, get out the woods. It was the same
<v Speaker 2>thing that we encountered that time. And I do remember
<v Speaker 2>this thinking back on it, because I was leaving in
<v Speaker 2>the woods. The thing was so high. I remember thinking
<v Speaker 2>to myself, right, because it was the only I guess
<v Speaker 2>the thing I had frame of reference was as tall
<v Speaker 2>as like a horse, you know, when a horse obviously
<v Speaker 2>stands like looking up at a horse's eyes when you're
<v Speaker 2>a kid that's tall, you know, like that's a big horse.
<v Speaker 2>You have to look up to its eyes. I remember
<v Speaker 2>thinking that at the time, not that I thought it
<v Speaker 2>was a horse, but just from a scale standpoint. Then
<v Speaker 2>as I was walking out of the woods, it was
<v Speaker 2>very It was very close to me, which is kind
<v Speaker 2>of creepy. It was, like I said, so close that
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't like, you know, if it was ten fifty
<v Speaker 2>feet away, I would look up at an ankle to
<v Speaker 2>see the eyes. I had to literally tilt my head
<v Speaker 2>back and look up to see its eyes. So it
<v Speaker 2>was within two to three feet of me. Now it
<v Speaker 2>did stay at the edge of that edge of that forest.
<v Speaker 2>I don't recall it coming into those lots, you know,
<v Speaker 2>the empty lots that I mentioned. I don't recall it
<v Speaker 2>crossing the bridge. I just remember looking back seeing two
<v Speaker 2>eyes or what I think were eyes lower but at
<v Speaker 2>you know, at the edge of the at the edge
<v Speaker 2>of the forest. Before you know, one would get on
<v Speaker 2>walk start walking on that bridge to cross the bridge,
<v Speaker 2>to go into into those empty lots, you know. I
<v Speaker 2>thinking back now too, I can't recall if I had
<v Speaker 2>gone back in those particular woods. I probably didn't at
<v Speaker 2>that time or since then. And then you know, fast
<v Speaker 2>forward probably I don't know, five six seven, maybe a
<v Speaker 2>decade later homes were developed. There a lot of the woods,
<v Speaker 2>guess you know, within within close to my street and subdivision.
<v Speaker 2>A lot of that had been since developed. There's still
<v Speaker 2>a lot of acreage. Again, if you look on Google Maps,
<v Speaker 2>there's still a lot of acreage that's undeveloped, swamp area,
<v Speaker 2>you know, stuff like that. But yeah, so that's that's
<v Speaker 2>pretty much it. I don't recall hearing anything. I don't
<v Speaker 2>recall other than maybe you know, loud rustling of bushes
<v Speaker 2>and and things like that. We do recall that because
<v Speaker 2>that's what scared us out the first time, and it's
<v Speaker 2>what alerted us us to it the second time. But
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't how it wasn't you know, any type of growling.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there were any wood knocks, but but
<v Speaker 2>it was there were. There wasn't enough noise to alert
<v Speaker 2>us to stop and look. And like I said, we
<v Speaker 2>weren't even I don't even know if we had gotten
<v Speaker 2>on our bikes to ride. That's how quickly it happened
<v Speaker 2>when we got into the woods that second time. I don't,
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't know if it was expecting us.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it was, but whatever it was,
<v Speaker 2>it was close to the edge of the woods. We
<v Speaker 2>had maybe gotten in I think I mentioned this, maybe
<v Speaker 2>twenty thirty feet possibly, and then we immediately, you know,
<v Speaker 2>got scared, saw what I saw, and then then we
<v Speaker 2>crossed the bridge and went back. So that's that's as
<v Speaker 2>I can recall.
<v Speaker 1>All right, Paul, I appreciate you for sharing your experience
<v Speaker 1>with me. And the yellow eyes is the most common
<v Speaker 1>report when it comes to the sasquatch creatures. I've seen
<v Speaker 1>it before, and some people describe it as like a
<v Speaker 1>yellowish green color or just yellow. I mean, like you
<v Speaker 1>said before. Some say it's orange and others say it's yeah,
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, yellow seems to be the most common one.
<v Speaker 1>I've even heard people say I had like a like
<v Speaker 1>a silver color to the eyes, but yeah, it sounds
<v Speaker 1>like a cryptic creature. And sometimes you find these things
<v Speaker 1>in the least likely areas, places where you don't think
<v Speaker 1>they'd be at, but when you really look at it,
<v Speaker 1>it makes sense. There's usually a big forest nearby, or
<v Speaker 1>even if it's a small lot like a small woods
<v Speaker 1>it may be like a funnel area that connects two
<v Speaker 1>large forests to each other and they cross through there.
<v Speaker 1>But also people say that they're attracted to women and children,
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's true when kids are out there
<v Speaker 1>plane the things they take notice.
<v Speaker 2>I have heard a lot about about that. And what
<v Speaker 2>got me back into this, I would say the subject
<v Speaker 2>is I like put in. I don't, I guess go
<v Speaker 2>to them nearly as much as I'd like to, but
<v Speaker 2>National forests. Somehow I got a hold of David Poliitis's uh,
<v Speaker 2>you know, YouTube channel and started watching that and it
<v Speaker 2>was really really interest in missing for one one, which
<v Speaker 2>led to you know, the books he wrote and the
<v Speaker 2>subject matter, and just really just started listening to a
<v Speaker 2>lot of different encounters and recollections of things, and that
<v Speaker 2>attracted me to some other channels, and you know, there's
<v Speaker 2>certain ones that that I like more than others. You Know,
<v Speaker 2>one thing that I guess I'm particular about is I
<v Speaker 2>don't I don't look at this at all as something
<v Speaker 2>that's entertaining. I I try to stay away from heavily
<v Speaker 2>or what I believe to be heavily embellished encounters just
<v Speaker 2>you know, general hyperbole to make it oh fascinating, Like yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you heard of Todd standing, you know, things
<v Speaker 2>that he said and done, Uh, and I'm sure he's
<v Speaker 2>a nice guy. It's not about that. I just it.
<v Speaker 2>I do believe there's something to this. Uh. You know,
<v Speaker 2>I think if if you're someone who spent enough time
<v Speaker 2>looking into this, uh, you know, from a factual standpoint,
<v Speaker 2>it's hard to deny just the math. Right, You're talking
<v Speaker 2>about centuries of experiences that have been reported around the world.
<v Speaker 2>You can't a person can't rationalize that everyone is lying
<v Speaker 2>about it? Right now? Is it? You know sasquatch all
<v Speaker 2>the time? Is it? Is it what we were thinking
<v Speaker 2>it might be? I don't know, but there's there's definitely
<v Speaker 2>something to it. So it it is happening, right And
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you too. The more that I look into
<v Speaker 2>certain things it is, it's become difficult for me to
<v Speaker 2>not think that it doesn't have or you know, paranormal capabilities,
<v Speaker 2>right like, I absolutely believe it is. It could be alien.
<v Speaker 2>I don't necessarily think it's it's from here. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>the whole Ape thing I completely disagree with. I don't
<v Speaker 2>know if they've been here and have stayed here. Part
<v Speaker 2>of me thinks, you know, they can come here as
<v Speaker 2>they want or need to. I do think they can
<v Speaker 2>and have left certain locations instantly. Right. You hear about
<v Speaker 2>footprints just stopping in the middle of you know, in
<v Speaker 2>the middle of like a snowfield, right or things like that,
<v Speaker 2>And I mean, how does that happen? And it's not
<v Speaker 2>just once or twice, right, And it's not just uh,
<v Speaker 2>you know, the source making it up. There's enough encounters
<v Speaker 2>of that, the math of it, there's so much of it.
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to deny that that isn't happening, right, or
<v Speaker 2>something like that isn't occurring. So I do believe that,
<v Speaker 2>you know, people called the WU aspect of it. I
<v Speaker 2>don't look at as much as WU is. I think
<v Speaker 2>that's just something that that particular thing can do. And
<v Speaker 2>I think it does it. I think it it leverages
<v Speaker 2>its capabilities to cloak or disappear or come and go.
<v Speaker 2>You know. The ORB thing about many people having experienced
<v Speaker 2>both you know, very near to one another, same location,
<v Speaker 2>same time frame. It it definitely opens it up to
<v Speaker 2>think that, you know, is that or they associate with
<v Speaker 2>one another? Is that how they travel? Is that is
<v Speaker 2>that it you know, in an ORB form before it materializes.
<v Speaker 2>I think there's connections, you know, really through all that. Again,
<v Speaker 2>it's just it's hard to look at it a different way.
<v Speaker 2>Once you've experienced enough information, you've taken enough information from
<v Speaker 2>enough different sources to come up to your own conclusion,
<v Speaker 2>it's hard to think about it a different way because
<v Speaker 2>there's just so much I guess description right supporting these
<v Speaker 2>things happening. I mean, I could just say it's all bs,
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's it's but I don't see how someone
<v Speaker 2>can logically say that all of these things are are lies. Now.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think someone would outright say, well, no, you know,
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that all these people are lying and
<v Speaker 2>have been lying over these centuries. But it's definitely not
<v Speaker 2>you know, a bigfoot, it's it's something that's easily explainable,
<v Speaker 2>or you know, it could be some species of eight
<v Speaker 2>or you know, primate that's that's not been discovered. I
<v Speaker 2>completely disagree with that. I just again, the the I
<v Speaker 2>hope to and I believe they're the facts as I've
<v Speaker 2>taken them in. You know, and I've heard statistics of
<v Speaker 2>only about twenty percent at least in the United States.
<v Speaker 2>I came across somewhere that only about twenty percent of
<v Speaker 2>the cases are reported, which still I want to say,
<v Speaker 2>is four hundred four hundred plus a year, and if
<v Speaker 2>you do the math there, you know you're talking about
<v Speaker 2>multiple encounters a day if you were to get one
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent of the reports coming in, right, So there's
<v Speaker 2>a lot. There's a lot to this when you start
<v Speaker 2>really just looking at it objectively, you know, it's just
<v Speaker 2>it's very hard to disagree that something isn't happening, you know.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, absolutely, and you feel like the thing that
<v Speaker 1>seemed to be invisible was what people refer to as
<v Speaker 1>cloaking and that's why you believe that they could be supernatural.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And you know, look, man, until I started hearing
<v Speaker 2>stories and again, it started with missing for one, David Politis,
<v Speaker 2>and then I think it was Sasquatch Chronicles I had
<v Speaker 2>come across. Started listening to that and then a couple
<v Speaker 2>other channels. It started making me recall what happened. And
<v Speaker 2>I was like, well, you know, I remember that being
<v Speaker 2>part of the story, right. I remember not seeing an
<v Speaker 2>actual figure, but seeing eyes, and I remember seeing you
<v Speaker 2>know this this color eyes, even though I didn't realize
<v Speaker 2>as many were yellow like you had you had said,
<v Speaker 2>So that's that's good to hear it it's more common
<v Speaker 2>than I thought. But after hearing enough of it, I
<v Speaker 2>was like, well, maybe it wasn't you know, my imagination.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it wasn't you know, erquit to hear a spirit.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe it was a sasquatch. Maybe as crazy as
<v Speaker 2>that may sound, maybe that's what it was. I just
<v Speaker 2>didn't you know, have the terminology or the reference at
<v Speaker 2>that point. You know. The other thing too, about about
<v Speaker 2>bigfoot sasquatch. It's and this is just my opinion, right,
<v Speaker 2>but I'm going to share I'm getting tired of so
<v Speaker 2>many people is just trying to essentially monetize this for
<v Speaker 2>clicks and views. And I mean people, you know, good
<v Speaker 2>YouTubers that that have had you know, good credible channels
<v Speaker 2>for some time that are now starting getting into you know,
<v Speaker 2>big sasquatch just just to attract the viewers. Right. I
<v Speaker 2>understand that I believe in making money and capitalism all
<v Speaker 2>this stuff, but they're not doing it because they're trying
<v Speaker 2>to help to add to you know, the data, right,
<v Speaker 2>They're not helping to forward progress on this. They're just
<v Speaker 2>doing it to attract more viewers and get more clicks,
<v Speaker 2>and they don't seem to really give a give a
<v Speaker 2>crap about which real or isn't you know, And as
<v Speaker 2>a matter of fact, the more fantastic it sounds, the
<v Speaker 2>better because it's going to attract more. I just I'm
<v Speaker 2>not in it for the fantasy. I'm not in it
<v Speaker 2>for the entertainment. And it's you know, honestly why some
<v Speaker 2>I've had others reach out to me that I'm just
<v Speaker 2>not going to UH to speak to because I don't
<v Speaker 2>like how they do what they do. I do like
<v Speaker 2>how you how you've come about. You know, you've done
<v Speaker 2>a really good job. And I commented on this for
<v Speaker 2>someone who I think is you know, I'm gonna say
<v Speaker 2>fairly new UH having your channel and you you've got
<v Speaker 2>some fantastic individuals you know come on to UH onto
<v Speaker 2>your side and and speak through this. You've done a
<v Speaker 2>very good job with that. I like how you you
<v Speaker 2>view this. You know one thing that and you know
<v Speaker 2>this can be said for all the channels, right, but
<v Speaker 2>I remember sas Squatch chronicles and big for society. You
<v Speaker 2>know one thing that says, oh, we want to make
<v Speaker 2>this place comfortable for people to not be judged and
<v Speaker 2>just tell us your story. You know, you're welcome here
<v Speaker 2>every YouTube channel that's that's focused on big better sas
<v Speaker 2>Squatch can say the same thing. That's to me, that's
<v Speaker 2>not that's not reason enough to delve into this, right.
<v Speaker 2>I think if you're serious about it, and you really
<v Speaker 2>are passionate about it, then the mission should be trying
<v Speaker 2>to find out as much information as you can to help,
<v Speaker 2>you know, build out the puzzle of it, right, to
<v Speaker 2>fill in some blanks, build some consistency, get to the
<v Speaker 2>point where things are more easily proven and maybe you know, forecasted.
<v Speaker 2>If we can get to that you know, point of
<v Speaker 2>luxury right where we where we know, hey, based on
<v Speaker 2>these situations, maybe these situations are are primed for an encounter,
<v Speaker 2>right based on data and things like that. So that's
<v Speaker 2>one thing I want to ask you, is you know,
<v Speaker 2>when you started your channel, what what was the mission
<v Speaker 2>or is there is there kind of a you know,
<v Speaker 2>a goal that you have in doing this? What what
<v Speaker 2>made you want to do what you're doing with it.
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to learn as much as I could about
<v Speaker 1>the Sasquatch subject, and I figured I'd find other like
<v Speaker 1>minded people, especially around me here in Missouri, that have
<v Speaker 1>encountered these things. And I've met a few people around here,
<v Speaker 1>not too many, not like I thought I would. But overall,
<v Speaker 1>I've met a ton of other people, and I've learned
<v Speaker 1>things about the Sasquatch that I just couldn't figure out
<v Speaker 1>on my own. And I mean other than that, I
<v Speaker 1>mean hearing other people's stories, you know, keeps me grounded
<v Speaker 1>with what I've seen, and you know, reminds me that
<v Speaker 1>other people are seeing them as well, and that's kind
<v Speaker 1>of what motivates me. It's also a good feeling to
<v Speaker 1>listen to somebody's story when nobody else will in their life,
<v Speaker 1>and that's the way society is. But other than that,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what I contribute to the community. I
<v Speaker 1>do monetize, but I mean, nobody's going to do any
<v Speaker 1>work for free. It keeps the channel running.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's nothing wrong with it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, But other than that, it's really cool seeing people
<v Speaker 1>present their tracks. Some people contact me all the time
<v Speaker 1>with vocalizations and they don't know what it is, and
<v Speaker 1>I help them boost the audio and kind of bring
<v Speaker 1>it out. And yeah, it's it's really cool just getting
<v Speaker 1>out in nature. I think that's the main part, is
<v Speaker 1>just you know, stepping away from society and going out
<v Speaker 1>there and experiencing the activity that most people wouldn't believe
<v Speaker 1>or don't have the time to experience for themselves because
<v Speaker 1>they're too busy with their nine to five and their families.
<v Speaker 2>That's true, man, you you're hitting it on the head
<v Speaker 2>right now. That's one of the reasons that I listened
<v Speaker 2>to you in particular. Is it because of that? You know?
<v Speaker 2>One thing I was going to mention what I think
<v Speaker 2>would be interesting. It'd be it'd be attractive for someone
<v Speaker 2>like me to want to listen to. There's a few
<v Speaker 2>stories that have been told on other channels that I recall,
<v Speaker 2>and it'd be interesting to follow up somehow. I don't
<v Speaker 2>know how easy or difficult. It would be, probably pretty difficult.
<v Speaker 2>But there are some encounters that really stand out, and
<v Speaker 2>I would love to know or have someone you know,
<v Speaker 2>do another interview right with that person. There was a
<v Speaker 2>particular one that maybe the most astounding that I've ever heard,
<v Speaker 2>and I hope it's true. Again, I don't think there's
<v Speaker 2>any reason, you know, this person relay this story. I
<v Speaker 2>don't think they did it for money or you know,
<v Speaker 2>notoriety or anything like that, which is always you know,
<v Speaker 2>it makes you feel like it's more genuine that way.
<v Speaker 2>It was one and there was a female. It was
<v Speaker 2>a lady from the UK and the one I heard.
<v Speaker 2>She may have been another channels, but I think it
<v Speaker 2>was on Sasquatch Chronicles and she was in the seventies.
<v Speaker 2>It was on the West coast in California. I think
<v Speaker 2>she was attempting to take photographs of some wildlife. Get
<v Speaker 2>where she says it on the story in the encounter,
<v Speaker 2>I believe.
<v Speaker 1>I think it was like in Washington State, like on
<v Speaker 1>the beach, wasn't it.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, you know that one. Her name's Claire, Yes,
<v Speaker 2>you know the what I'm talking.
<v Speaker 1>About where the creature looked like it was gliding.
<v Speaker 2>And she was like, I don't know if they knocked
<v Speaker 2>her out, Like she woke up in a different location
<v Speaker 2>than she recalled, you know, seeing these things. One was
<v Speaker 2>approaching her. She woke up sometime later in a different location,
<v Speaker 2>not far but you know, something happened, like they it
<v Speaker 2>attacked her maybe or something she saw more than one.
<v Speaker 2>That was absolutely astounding to me. I listened to it
<v Speaker 2>multiple times. I hadn't heard it in a while, but
<v Speaker 2>it would be wonderful to hear her story again. You
<v Speaker 2>know to see like ones like that, and that's not many,
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's probably less than ten, I think in
<v Speaker 2>my mind anyway, that really stand out that you like,
<v Speaker 2>you know, she sounded very genuine. That is an absolutely
<v Speaker 2>unique encounter. You know, I wonder whatever happened to that lady, right,
<v Speaker 2>and and I'd like to know also like where and
<v Speaker 2>I do think she said at least somewhat in the
<v Speaker 2>story where it was, but absolutely remarkable. I mean, it
<v Speaker 2>was just imagine that happening, Like how God, I'd be
<v Speaker 2>so scared. I just like there's no words to describe it,
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, It's like, oh my god,
<v Speaker 2>what the hell is going on? But she had physically
<v Speaker 2>physically been affected by it, like I want to say,
<v Speaker 2>she had bruises and stuff, and it was it was
<v Speaker 2>not a good situation. But I'm just using that, you know,
<v Speaker 2>as an example of it'd be interesting to follow up
<v Speaker 2>with these certain ones that that you know, had these
<v Speaker 2>types of experiences. But yeah, man, I think you're doing
<v Speaker 2>a great job, Miguel. You know, I appreciate what you've
<v Speaker 2>done and the people you've had on and I'm I
<v Speaker 2>like how you do what you do and for the
<v Speaker 2>reasons you do it, you know, And I think, yeah, man,
<v Speaker 2>And and you know, I think we all, even the believers,
<v Speaker 2>which we are, obviously we've had our own encounters, we
<v Speaker 2>all need to maintain some level of healthy skepticism because
<v Speaker 2>there there are a lot of stories out there that
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, they're there. There are likely some
<v Speaker 2>facts in there, but it's the ones that get off
<v Speaker 2>the range a little bit that are a little questionable.
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying it's you know, I'm not here to judge,
<v Speaker 2>but I do like the ones that you know seem
<v Speaker 2>to come from a more credible source. And I think
<v Speaker 2>that's one thing that's missing in this subject matter too,
<v Speaker 2>is having more people that I would say are well grounded,
<v Speaker 2>you know, just I guess individuals that you know represent
<v Speaker 2>uh kind of a different, to be more objective scientific
<v Speaker 2>strata of experiences, right. I think that would help bolster
<v Speaker 2>interest in this incredibility of it. But overall, yeah, I mean,
<v Speaker 2>you can tell, you know, it's it's getting enough exposure.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I feel like there's a Sasquatch YouTube channel
<v Speaker 2>created every two or three weeks these days, but you're
<v Speaker 2>you're standing out, in my opinion on one that's doing
<v Speaker 2>it right. And I think your user base, I think
<v Speaker 2>you've grown as quickly as it has because of that, right.
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a lot of people that see what
<v Speaker 2>you do and how you do it and appreciate that
<v Speaker 2>as opposed to some others that you know, we're just
<v Speaker 2>taking maybe a little bit of a different path. So,
<v Speaker 2>but you do a good job.
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much, Paul, and I really appreciate you
<v Speaker 1>for sharing your report from Louisiana. Did this happen anywhere
<v Speaker 1>near Caddle Lake or is this a completely different area
<v Speaker 1>of the state.
<v Speaker 2>It's in a different area, but I have heard stories
<v Speaker 2>about about that area, and you know, the the Chafalaya Basin,
<v Speaker 2>which is an area between Baton Rouge and Lafayette mainly,
<v Speaker 2>I guess you would say around lafayat Louisiana. There's just
<v Speaker 2>a tremendous amount of a swamp there and it's just
<v Speaker 2>a big wooded at least partly wooded area that's you know,
<v Speaker 2>just thousands and thousands of acres, and there's a lot
<v Speaker 2>of that in Louisiana though. There's a lot of places
<v Speaker 2>like that where you know, if you think about something
<v Speaker 2>like this existing, there's enough sustenance to survive, right, wildlife shelter,
<v Speaker 2>different things like that. I mean, it's absolutely prime for that.
<v Speaker 2>Now you don't have you know, mountains hills here. It's
<v Speaker 2>it's unfortunately it's ridiculously flat. But there's a lot of wildlife,
<v Speaker 2>you know, and I've heard there stories throughout or of Louisiana,
<v Speaker 2>not as many, I don't think in northern Louisiana as
<v Speaker 2>I would say southern Louisiana. Another area to me that
<v Speaker 2>stood out where I've heard several stories is what is
<v Speaker 2>referred to as the Big Thicket, which is an area
<v Speaker 2>east Texas kind of on the border of Louisiana. I
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you've heard of that before, if you
<v Speaker 2>haven't look into that, there's a lot of stories from
<v Speaker 2>that that area, which I think, if I had to guess,
<v Speaker 2>probably encompasses you know, one hundreds, if not thousands of acres.
<v Speaker 2>People go hunting there, you know, outdoor sportsmen and such.
<v Speaker 2>But I've heard quite a few stories encounters from from
<v Speaker 2>that area in particular, and that's always been you know,
<v Speaker 2>of interest to me because from where I'm at now
<v Speaker 2>here in Louisiana, that's I think two hours away from
<v Speaker 2>me maybe two and a half, so.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's not too far away. Yeah, Paul, we're finished,
<v Speaker 1>and I appreciate you for logging the report on the channel.
<v Speaker 1>It really means a lot. If you run into a
<v Speaker 1>cryptid in the future, definitely reach out or anyone that's
<v Speaker 1>seen these things send them my way. I'd love to
<v Speaker 1>hear about their encounters.
<v Speaker 2>I'll definitely do that, man. I appreciate it to go.
<v Speaker 2>Stay in touch, buddy, and I'd be happy to help
<v Speaker 2>with anything else. I have a good holiday, man, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>happy holidays. You take care of yourself, okay, Youtoe ben
<v Speaker 2>O Baye.
<v Speaker 1>Paul's encounter reminds us that not all sightings are clear, physical,
<v Speaker 1>or easy to explain. Some experiences exist in a gray
<v Speaker 1>area where fear, disbelief, and unanswered questions collide. Whether this
<v Speaker 1>was a cloaked sasquatch, a dimensional phenomenon, or something beyond
<v Speaker 1>our current understanding, the impact it had was real. These
<v Speaker 1>are the stories that don't always make headlines, but they
<v Speaker 1>linger for a lifetime. As always, I appreciate you taking
<v Speaker 1>your time to listen to these podcasts and if you've
<v Speaker 1>had an encounter of your own, especially one that defines explanation.
<v Speaker 1>You're not alone. Feel free to reach out sometime at
<v Speaker 1>Sasquatch Theory at outlook dot com. Until next time, stay
<v Speaker 1>aware of what's watching from the tree line.
