I Just Knew it was Not Human - My Bigfoot Sighting Episode 155

<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 lows and the bow and
<v Speaker 3>the fasting melodies cove 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.
<v Speaker 4>Know bigfoot siding happened in the mid nineties.
<v Speaker 2>Hello.
<v Speaker 4>My name is Tamara Grantham. I grew up in southeast Texas,
<v Speaker 4>way out in the woods. When I was in my
<v Speaker 4>young teens, about twelve thirteen years old, I was homeschooled
<v Speaker 4>along with my siblings. It was actually a really pleasant
<v Speaker 4>childhood and we had a lot of land to explore,
<v Speaker 4>and that's exactly what we did. Me and my two
<v Speaker 4>younger sisters would go out into the pasture and then
<v Speaker 4>we discovered an area in the woods that was really interesting,
<v Speaker 4>so one summer we decided to go explore the woods.
<v Speaker 4>There were a couple of landmarks that I want to mention.
<v Speaker 4>One was a big oak tree. And this oak tree
<v Speaker 4>had really long, sprawling limbs that we called it the
<v Speaker 4>Horsey tree because you could literally ride on it, like
<v Speaker 4>the limbs were so elastic that you could ride on
<v Speaker 4>it like a horse like, bounce up and down on
<v Speaker 4>the limbs. So, like I said, we had to find
<v Speaker 4>ways of staying entertained. So that was one of our
<v Speaker 4>landmarks we found. Now, the Horsey Tree was in the
<v Speaker 4>pasture right on the fence line. Actually, the trunk of
<v Speaker 4>the tree was right on the other side of the
<v Speaker 4>fence line. My family owned the land and the pasture,
<v Speaker 4>but across the fence was not our land, and I
<v Speaker 4>think actually it was a local paper mill that owned
<v Speaker 4>that land, and I think they still own it. So
<v Speaker 4>we knew when we crossed that fence we were trespassing.
<v Speaker 4>That was not our land anymore. But I really don't
<v Speaker 4>think the paper mill cared too much we were trespassing
<v Speaker 4>on that land. At least I never saw anybody out
<v Speaker 4>there or anyone the other landmark that we had was
<v Speaker 4>this bleached white tree. It was dead and it had
<v Speaker 4>no leaves, and it stood out because all the other
<v Speaker 4>trees were pines and oaks, you know, kind of green,
<v Speaker 4>darker brown, reddish brown colors. And at that time, me
<v Speaker 4>and my siblings were really into the Chronicles of Narnia.
<v Speaker 4>My mom had read those stories to us, and so
<v Speaker 4>we decided we were going to make this place in
<v Speaker 4>the woods be called Narnia. And the white tree was
<v Speaker 4>our lamp post. And it's so funny because it really
<v Speaker 4>feels like it was Narnia now that I'm telling about it.
<v Speaker 4>But right there by the horsey tree in the lamp post,
<v Speaker 4>they stood right beside each other. There was a spot
<v Speaker 4>in the fence that was kind of been out of shape.
<v Speaker 4>The barboire has been out of shape and it was
<v Speaker 4>stretched out, so it made it really easy. It was
<v Speaker 4>a really easy spot for us to cross. And once
<v Speaker 4>we crossed from the pasture into the woods, we got
<v Speaker 4>on this little game trail and we started exploring. The
<v Speaker 4>first thing we came upon that was really quite strange.
<v Speaker 4>It looked like this little domed hut made out of
<v Speaker 4>sticks and tree leaves. It literally looked like a cave.
<v Speaker 4>It had an entrance and everything. It was the weirdest
<v Speaker 4>looking thing, and we would go inside it and sit
<v Speaker 4>in there and pretend like it was a little house.
<v Speaker 4>And then further down the game trail we found another one,
<v Speaker 4>and this one was better built than the first one,
<v Speaker 4>and in my twelve year old mind, I just assumed
<v Speaker 4>maybe something natural had happened there. But I had never
<v Speaker 4>seen anything like that before, and I'd spent a lot
<v Speaker 4>of time in the woods, and it just didn't seem
<v Speaker 4>like especially with two of those. Maybe one I could
<v Speaker 4>kind of understand being natural, but two of them right
<v Speaker 4>so close to each other, just it didn't make a
<v Speaker 4>lot of sense to me. At one point, my dad
<v Speaker 4>came out there with us, and he was also confused
<v Speaker 4>by them, and he thought that maybe they were man made,
<v Speaker 4>because it looked like something with thumbs, you know, would
<v Speaker 4>have had to have built that. So we made one
<v Speaker 4>of the little houses like our little fort, like our
<v Speaker 4>little playhouse, and we would bring toys out, trinkets out there.
<v Speaker 4>We'd bring peanut butter sandwiches. I remember one time we
<v Speaker 4>brought our cousins out there with us. It was just
<v Speaker 4>a lot of fun, and it was just kind of
<v Speaker 4>our our little hideout. So me and my sisters and
<v Speaker 4>cousins and friends, we would go out there from time
<v Speaker 4>to time, and sometimes I would go out there by myself.
<v Speaker 4>And on this particular occasion, I went out by myself
<v Speaker 4>and I had I usually had a cat or a
<v Speaker 4>dog following me. On this occasion, I had my cat.
<v Speaker 4>He's a gray and white cat that we named Pig
<v Speaker 4>because he was a big, fat, fluffy cat, And so
<v Speaker 4>he went out there with me that day and I
<v Speaker 4>went and I sat in the little house. I just
<v Speaker 4>sat there for a while, you know. Just I had
<v Speaker 4>two younger sisters and a younger brother, so sometimes I
<v Speaker 4>needed to get away. I needed to get away and
<v Speaker 4>just go focus on my own thoughts and have somewhere
<v Speaker 4>quiet to be. And so that was my quiet place,
<v Speaker 4>and I would just sit there. Sometimes I would hear
<v Speaker 4>wood knocks, like one or two, just wood knocks, and
<v Speaker 4>I thought, maybe is that a woodpecker? But I had
<v Speaker 4>never woodpeckers would make fast knocks, real fast, a rapid knocks,
<v Speaker 4>and these were slow knocks, and I had no idea
<v Speaker 4>what made that knock. I thought maybe it was some
<v Speaker 4>sort of woodpecker. That's the best idea I could come
<v Speaker 4>up with to explain it. Other times, you know, we
<v Speaker 4>would leave things in the we would call our little
<v Speaker 4>house actually it was Tumnus's cave, paying tribute to the
<v Speaker 4>Chronicles of Narnia. We would leave things in there, like
<v Speaker 4>little plastic pieces of jewelry and little things. And I
<v Speaker 4>do remember one time I found a feather and I
<v Speaker 4>think it was a rock right next to each other,
<v Speaker 4>kind of like they were placed there on a tree stump,
<v Speaker 4>and I don't know it can used me and I
<v Speaker 4>thought maybe one of my sisters had done it, had
<v Speaker 4>left it there, and that was kind of odd. And
<v Speaker 4>I just kind of remember these things, you know, these
<v Speaker 4>little things like the woodknocks and the little feather and
<v Speaker 4>being on the tree stump. I think they just struck
<v Speaker 4>me as odd. But I had zero explanation none. It
<v Speaker 4>was confounding, honestly, and I would write it off as
<v Speaker 4>things that I know. So anyway, going back to the
<v Speaker 4>day that I was sitting in Tumnus's house alone with
<v Speaker 4>my cat, I got a little freaked out that day.
<v Speaker 4>And it would get a little creepy in the woods
<v Speaker 4>if you went alone, and so sometimes I would sit
<v Speaker 4>there and I would sing church hymns, so if there
<v Speaker 4>was anything out there listening to me, they knew I
<v Speaker 4>was there. I wasn't being quiet. So on that day
<v Speaker 4>I decided I needed to get home because I felt
<v Speaker 4>pretty creeped out. So I took the trail back through
<v Speaker 4>the woods and went back through the fence and got
<v Speaker 4>back into the pasture. And as I'm walking through the
<v Speaker 4>pasture headed towards home, I just happened to out of
<v Speaker 4>the corner of my eye see something along the tree line. Now,
<v Speaker 4>I've been to this pasture in woods area hundreds of
<v Speaker 4>times before, and I knew it so well that I
<v Speaker 4>knew every tree. I knew what the trees looked like,
<v Speaker 4>and to see something out of place, it would have
<v Speaker 4>struck you as out of place, like you knew something
<v Speaker 4>was there that wasn't supposed to be. And when I
<v Speaker 4>first saw it, I thought maybe it was a tree
<v Speaker 4>that I had never noticed before because it was very
<v Speaker 4>dark brown. But when I looked at it, it was
<v Speaker 4>human like shape. It was about five four and a
<v Speaker 4>half maybe five feet tall, and I wanted to try
<v Speaker 4>to figure out what it was, so I took a
<v Speaker 4>couple steps closer to it, and I very clearly remember
<v Speaker 4>thinking that is not a tree. And as I got closer,
<v Speaker 4>I thought, maybe it's a hunter wearing like a gilly suit.
<v Speaker 4>And my cat was with me, and as I took
<v Speaker 4>a couple steps closer, the cat ran up between me
<v Speaker 4>and it, kind of halfway between me and it, and
<v Speaker 4>I remember having this very distinct feeling like that is
<v Speaker 4>not human. It cannot be a hunter. It didn't. It
<v Speaker 4>was hard to see its facial features, to be honest,
<v Speaker 4>because it was very dark brown and it was kind
<v Speaker 4>of later in the evening, but I do remember seeing
<v Speaker 4>its eyes, like two shiny black eyes, and it just
<v Speaker 4>stood there looking at me. I don't remember smelling anything,
<v Speaker 4>but I just it was just this fear, like you've
<v Speaker 4>been thrown into cold ice water. Very I don't know,
<v Speaker 4>very vividly remember that sense of fear that I had
<v Speaker 4>because and the thought bigfoot did not come into my mind.
<v Speaker 4>We had never talked about bigfoot and that part of
<v Speaker 4>Texas that wasn't even well. Of course, I didn't even
<v Speaker 4>believe bigfoot existed in the first place. And I as
<v Speaker 4>I stood there looking at it, I thought, Okay, if
<v Speaker 4>this is a hunter, I'm going to call for my
<v Speaker 4>cat to come to me. And if my cat, I mean,
<v Speaker 4>if this thing, if it's a hunter, it's going to
<v Speaker 4>say something like it'll say, oh, hey, is this your cat?
<v Speaker 4>You know, it'll it'll speak to me. And so I
<v Speaker 4>tried it, and I said, here, kitty, giddy giddy, and
<v Speaker 4>that thing just stood there and looked at me, and
<v Speaker 4>I knew, I just knew this is not human. I
<v Speaker 4>didn't have an explanation, but it was just that thought
<v Speaker 4>that this it's it's not human. And at that point
<v Speaker 4>the only thing I could think is I need to
<v Speaker 4>get away, like I need to be away from this
<v Speaker 4>right now. So I turned around, and even though I
<v Speaker 4>really wanted to run, in my mind, I thought if
<v Speaker 4>I've run, it might chase me. So I walked very quick,
<v Speaker 4>as fast as I could walk, until I got to
<v Speaker 4>the gate, and as soon as I climbed over the
<v Speaker 4>gate and got into the clear, I raced home as
<v Speaker 4>fast as I could possibly run. My cat did make
<v Speaker 4>it home later, but honestly, I had no thought about
<v Speaker 4>my cat at that point. I just had the thought
<v Speaker 4>that I need to get away. I told my sister,
<v Speaker 4>who was just younger than me, and I when you
<v Speaker 4>don't have a name for something, like maybe some people
<v Speaker 4>when they see bigfoot, they know it's bigfoot, But for me,
<v Speaker 4>I had no name for it. And honestly, the only
<v Speaker 4>thing I could think is some kind of monster or
<v Speaker 4>there's no name for it. There's nothing I could call it.
<v Speaker 4>So I think I told her we can't go out
<v Speaker 4>there anymore. It's not safe to go alone. I saw
<v Speaker 4>something out there, but I had, you know, no name
<v Speaker 4>for what I saw, And to be honest, I didn't
<v Speaker 4>really want to remember it because it had scared me
<v Speaker 4>so badly, And so the years went by and I
<v Speaker 4>tried my best to forget it. I never did really
<v Speaker 4>forget it, but I tried my best to forget it,
<v Speaker 4>because I just I didn't when you have no explanation,
<v Speaker 4>and when something scares you that badly, you just kind
<v Speaker 4>of wanted to go away. At least I did. And
<v Speaker 4>so fast forward years later, I was in my early twenties,
<v Speaker 4>I had I was a newlywed, and my husband and
<v Speaker 4>I were going to the movies and we had stopped
<v Speaker 4>at the ATM and he was out getting money from
<v Speaker 4>the ATM, and I was sitting in the car listening
<v Speaker 4>to the radio and the chester More Radio program came
<v Speaker 4>on and they were talking about sightings of juvenile bigfoot
<v Speaker 4>in East Texas. And I can't even describe the emotion
<v Speaker 4>that came over me at that moment. It was just
<v Speaker 4>like this aha moment of I know what I saw,
<v Speaker 4>and even though it was still a terrifying experience, it
<v Speaker 4>was so validating to know what I saw was something
<v Speaker 4>real and that other people had seen it too, And
<v Speaker 4>the way it was described, this young bigfoot, you know,
<v Speaker 4>four and a half five feet tall and dark brown fur,
<v Speaker 4>it was just exactly that, you know, it's what I
<v Speaker 4>had seen. And I told my husband, you know, as
<v Speaker 4>soon as he got in the car, I told him,
<v Speaker 4>and thankfully he I mean, he believed me. I don't
<v Speaker 4>know that he necessarily believed Bigfoot existed, but he believed me.
<v Speaker 4>And I also I told my parents, and they all
<v Speaker 4>believed me, I think because they're family and they know
<v Speaker 4>I'm a trustworthy person and they know there's no reason
<v Speaker 4>for me to lie about something like that. I know
<v Speaker 4>I didn't misidentify it. I got too close to it.
<v Speaker 4>Like I said, I kept walking towards it because I
<v Speaker 4>needed an explanation and so I kept getting closer, thinking
<v Speaker 4>there's got to be an explanation for what this is.
<v Speaker 4>It's maybe it's a prank. Maybe somebody put some kind
<v Speaker 4>of mennekin there. And so I know what I saw.
<v Speaker 4>I know I didn't misidentify it because I just got
<v Speaker 4>too close to it. And when it just stood there
<v Speaker 4>looking at me, I think that was really telling to me.
<v Speaker 4>I think it wanted me to see it. I think
<v Speaker 4>it was letting me know that I had been in
<v Speaker 4>its territory, and it wanted me to know that I
<v Speaker 4>had been sitting in its nest. Most likely I I
<v Speaker 4>was so terrified. I don't know that it I mean,
<v Speaker 4>if it was trying to be friendly to me or not.
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, it was just it was something so out
<v Speaker 4>of the ordinary. But I do want to say that
<v Speaker 4>if I I had known Bigfoot existed, and that if
<v Speaker 4>I had known that there were sightings out on that
<v Speaker 4>part of Texas, then when I saw it, it would
<v Speaker 4>have been more of a feeling of curiosity, like if
<v Speaker 4>you happen to see a wild turkey or a wild
<v Speaker 4>deer or something out in the woods, it's more of
<v Speaker 4>a curiosity thing, like, oh cool, look at that, and
<v Speaker 4>that's why I'm telling my story now. I mean, it's
<v Speaker 4>been years and years and it's been a very long time,
<v Speaker 4>and it's taken me a long time to finally speak
<v Speaker 4>about it. But I think the reason why is because
<v Speaker 4>when people have those encounters, and I don't know if
<v Speaker 4>bigfoot is dangerous. The one that I saw certainly didn't
<v Speaker 4>seem dangerous. But I think I would have been so
<v Speaker 4>much less terrified if I had at least known that
<v Speaker 4>these things exist. And so I just I feel like
<v Speaker 4>it's important for people like me to speak up, even
<v Speaker 4>though I mean, yeah, at first, I was kind of
<v Speaker 4>scared of people ridiculing me, but to be honest, it's
<v Speaker 4>something I saw and there's no way I can deny
<v Speaker 4>that I saw it, and so I just think that
<v Speaker 4>I need to speak out about it. And other people
<v Speaker 4>have seen the same thing, and when I was listening
<v Speaker 4>to the chester More program, I know that other people
<v Speaker 4>have seen similar things. And as an update, my parents
<v Speaker 4>still live on that land. I live in Kansas now
<v Speaker 4>and I've got five kids, so I'm a little busy,
<v Speaker 4>but my parents still live there, and since I've told
<v Speaker 4>them my story, I think they've been more aware of
<v Speaker 4>what to look for, and my dad says he heard
<v Speaker 4>wood knocks, and he also outside of the window of
<v Speaker 4>his room. It's kind of grown up the forest. There's
<v Speaker 4>no pasture there anymore. It's all grown up and it's
<v Speaker 4>all forests now, and he heard large, heavy bipedal footsteps
<v Speaker 4>outside of its window. And that's the most I know
<v Speaker 4>of they're still being bigfoot out there. I believe there
<v Speaker 4>still is. I believe maybe it's even the one that
<v Speaker 4>I saw, who's growing up now. I definitely feel like
<v Speaker 4>there were two nests. I feel like there were two
<v Speaker 4>bigfoot nests there that they had built. And I also
<v Speaker 4>definitely feel like we were sitting in its nest, and
<v Speaker 4>so I'm sure they saw us way before we saw it.
<v Speaker 4>And I say they because I don't think the one
<v Speaker 4>I saw was alone. I think it was a juvenile
<v Speaker 4>and it probably had at least a mom somewhere nearby.
<v Speaker 4>So after I had listened to the chester More program,
<v Speaker 4>that's kind of what ignited my interest in bigfoot. Before that,
<v Speaker 4>I didn't make the connection. I didn't realize there were
<v Speaker 4>bigfoot in Texas. I didn't even realize bigfoot was real.
<v Speaker 4>And more recently I've really gotten into kind of more
<v Speaker 4>of the paranormal. Well, they call it paranormal. I don't
<v Speaker 4>really like the term paranormal because it means it's something
<v Speaker 4>other than having a real world explanation. I think Bigfoot
<v Speaker 4>does have an explanation. But anyway, I've gotten into kind
<v Speaker 4>of the aliens and UFOs and the ghost stories and
<v Speaker 4>things like that, and I've gotten more into the Bigfoot stories,
<v Speaker 4>and I've been watching a lot of expedition Bigfoot and
<v Speaker 4>different things online and listening to podcasts about Bigfoot. I'll
<v Speaker 4>definitely be listening to this podcast, by the way, because
<v Speaker 4>it has become a really big interest of mine, and
<v Speaker 4>I honestly feel like it is a matter of time
<v Speaker 4>before science recognizes Bigfoot. I feel like there is so
<v Speaker 4>much evidence out there now and so much proof. I
<v Speaker 4>don't know. Here's my theory. I think science, mainstream science
<v Speaker 4>kind of shuns the idea of Bigfoot, and when you
<v Speaker 4>shun it, you don't explore it, you don't take it seriously.
<v Speaker 4>There's different people who do, like doctor Jeff Meldrum, who
<v Speaker 4>kind of represents that area of science. I just feel
<v Speaker 4>like there's going to be so much proof at some
<v Speaker 4>point that we're going to be forced to acknowledge the
<v Speaker 4>existence of Bigfoot. I also think these creatures are extremely smart,
<v Speaker 4>and I think they're good at avoiding us. And I
<v Speaker 4>think this one showed me itself because I was alone
<v Speaker 4>and it knew I wasn't a threat. And so I
<v Speaker 4>think bigfoot can be threatening to some people, especially if
<v Speaker 4>you're in its territory and it doesn't want you there.
<v Speaker 4>But in the end, it's a really exciting topic for me,
<v Speaker 4>and I'm thrilled every day when I see more video
<v Speaker 4>of bigfoot, when I see more evidence of footprints and DNA. Oh,
<v Speaker 4>and I also forgot to mention I do remember on
<v Speaker 4>the barbar finding clumps of brown fur. We did have cows,
<v Speaker 4>they were black and white cows. We had some horses,
<v Speaker 4>but this didn't look anything like like I can tell
<v Speaker 4>what horse hair looks like, and this was like clumps
<v Speaker 4>of brown fur on the barboar fence. That was another
<v Speaker 4>one of those things that I just kind of put
<v Speaker 4>in the back of my mind as something that I
<v Speaker 4>couldn't explain, along with the feather and the wood knocks.
<v Speaker 4>Those were just kind of put in the back of
<v Speaker 4>my mind. It's just oddities. So it's really been Even
<v Speaker 4>though it was probably the most terrifying experience of my life,
<v Speaker 4>it's really been a blessing because I've been able to
<v Speaker 4>realize there's more out there, There's more to this life
<v Speaker 4>than just what science accepts as being part of this world.
<v Speaker 4>So it's an exciting topic for me, and I look
<v Speaker 4>forward to the future when maybe we can find out
<v Speaker 4>more about this subject.
<v Speaker 2>My bigfoot sighting happened when I was eight or nine
<v Speaker 2>years old. I was in Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia.
<v Speaker 2>My parents used to take us there in the summer,
<v Speaker 2>about one hundred and fifty miles from Seattle, where my
<v Speaker 2>home is. Anyway, they had a stables at the resort,
<v Speaker 2>and the stables opened at nine o'clock. I loved horses,
<v Speaker 2>and I would get up like seven o'clock and go
<v Speaker 2>have breakfast. And they had sugarcubes on the table where
<v Speaker 2>we had breakfast, so we would take a handful of
<v Speaker 2>sugar cubes and put them in our pockets so we
<v Speaker 2>could give them to the horses. And that was my pleasure,
<v Speaker 2>was to go horseback riding. As soon as I was
<v Speaker 2>done with breakfast, I would go down to the stables
<v Speaker 2>and wait for them to open. The stables were closed
<v Speaker 2>until nine o'clock and no one was there, and I
<v Speaker 2>would go a little bit early because they always left
<v Speaker 2>a few horses in the barn and we would give
<v Speaker 2>them sugarcubes. Anyway, it was about eight thirty in the morning.
<v Speaker 2>I was there alone where the stables meets the Miami River,
<v Speaker 2>which is really just a stream, and I was standing
<v Speaker 2>at the foot of the bridge which crosses the river.
<v Speaker 2>It's not more than fifty feet wide, and I look
<v Speaker 2>across the river and I see a polar bear, at
<v Speaker 2>least I thought it was a polar bear, bathing in
<v Speaker 2>the water, standing on two legs and then cupping the
<v Speaker 2>hand and reaching down to the water, taking a cup
<v Speaker 2>of water in the hand and then pouring it over
<v Speaker 2>the head of I thought it was a polar bear,
<v Speaker 2>and then repeated it again, put the hand in the water,
<v Speaker 2>cupped it, and then put the water on the head.
<v Speaker 2>And I just watched this from a distance. Well, it
<v Speaker 2>was fifty feet across from the strands, fifty feet wide,
<v Speaker 2>and I guess I was seventy five feet away. I
<v Speaker 2>didn't smell it. And the reason I thought it was
<v Speaker 2>a polar bear is because this particular creature was white,
<v Speaker 2>snow white, and so hairy that the facial features couldn't
<v Speaker 2>be made out. There's no way I could tell if
<v Speaker 2>this creature looked like an ape or a polar bear.
<v Speaker 2>I just couldn't make out any facial features because it
<v Speaker 2>was so hairy. Anyway, fast forward about two hours. I've
<v Speaker 2>gone horseback riding, I've gone back to the hotel, the resort,
<v Speaker 2>and I tell everybody, at eight years old, I saw
<v Speaker 2>a polar bear in the Miami Creek. And of course
<v Speaker 2>they said, there's no polar bears in British Columbia, and
<v Speaker 2>you must have seen something else. And I didn't know
<v Speaker 2>anything about the sasquatch at eight years old, just didn't know,
<v Speaker 2>never heard about it. A couple of years later. Remember now,
<v Speaker 2>my parents taken to this resort every year. About two
<v Speaker 2>years later, I am in the basement of the resort
<v Speaker 2>where they have a few pinball machines, and I see
<v Speaker 2>a picture on the wall of a female sasquatch and
<v Speaker 2>two hunters with rifles in the act of hunting the sasquatch.
<v Speaker 2>This is the first time I'm maybe nine or ten now,
<v Speaker 2>that I even knew there was this whole animal thing
<v Speaker 2>called a sasquatch. And even though this female sasquatch was brown,
<v Speaker 2>it was the same animal I saw from the bridge
<v Speaker 2>seventy five feet across the river bathing. I just couldn't
<v Speaker 2>believe it. Now, for sixty five years, I've been pretty
<v Speaker 2>quiet about it. Naturally, I've told my children, I told
<v Speaker 2>my wife. In fact, about thirty years ago, my wife
<v Speaker 2>and I went back to visit the spot where I
<v Speaker 2>saw the sasquatch, and we walked across the bridge to
<v Speaker 2>the other side of the river where the sasquatch was bathing,
<v Speaker 2>and my wife took a candy bar out of her
<v Speaker 2>purse and laid it down on the ground and said,
<v Speaker 2>we'll leave the candy bar for the sasquatch. About two
<v Speaker 2>years ago, being elderly now, I wanted to get this out.
<v Speaker 2>You know. I just didn't talk about it much over
<v Speaker 2>the years because there's a lot of disbelievers. And I
<v Speaker 2>know what I saw, and I was a pretty switched
<v Speaker 2>on little guy. I didn't have a while to imagine nation.
<v Speaker 2>I was kind of scientific and I was mature for
<v Speaker 2>my age, and I know what I saw, and I
<v Speaker 2>just didn't push it. But being older, I wanted to
<v Speaker 2>get it out. I wanted to get it out before
<v Speaker 2>I die. I'm seventy five years old, and so I'm
<v Speaker 2>talking about it, and a couple of other things have
<v Speaker 2>come to mind. This particular area, Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia,
<v Speaker 2>apparently for the last hundred years has been a hot
<v Speaker 2>spot for the Sasquatch. I didn't know it, but apparently
<v Speaker 2>it's a hot spot. And just a few years ago
<v Speaker 2>they put a museum, a Sasquatch Museum, in which is
<v Speaker 2>only about an eighth of a mile from where I
<v Speaker 2>saw the sasquatch. So more proof that this wasn't a
<v Speaker 2>polar bear, that I actually saw the sasquatch. Now something
<v Speaker 2>else has come to mind. I remember back in fifty seven,
<v Speaker 2>perhaps it's fifty eight. It could be referenced they had
<v Speaker 2>a problem with either mosquitoes or flies. I think it
<v Speaker 2>was mosquitos, and they were springing by aircraft in the
<v Speaker 2>whole area there of British Columbia where the Harrison Hot
<v Speaker 2>Springs resort is. And I remember seeing a film oily
<v Speaker 2>film on the swimming pool where we were swimming, so
<v Speaker 2>you know, it came right down on everybody it was
<v Speaker 2>the next day or perhaps two days later, that my
<v Speaker 2>encounter with this animal washing itself in the Miami River.
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking, hey, this animal got insecticide all over them,
<v Speaker 2>and it was just a thought. The other thought is
<v Speaker 2>the hot springs is pumped to two large water towers,
<v Speaker 2>old fashioned ones. They're built out of looked like old shingles,
<v Speaker 2>and they leaked, and they had to pump the water
<v Speaker 2>from the hot springs up to these water towers to
<v Speaker 2>cool overnight because the water came out of the ground
<v Speaker 2>at something like one hundred and fifty degrees fahrenheit, and
<v Speaker 2>by the time it got to the hot pools, they
<v Speaker 2>wanted it around one hundred or one hundred and forty
<v Speaker 2>degrees maximum. So they had these cooling towers and they
<v Speaker 2>leaked all my life. I saw them leaking. In fact,
<v Speaker 2>if you go back and look at them now, they've
<v Speaker 2>built a more modern one, but the old wood one
<v Speaker 2>was the leaker is still there. And I'm thinking maybe
<v Speaker 2>the sasquatch knows that the river gets warm here because
<v Speaker 2>this water tower has been leaking for years hot water
<v Speaker 2>into the creek, and this is his spot where he
<v Speaker 2>comes in washes because he can't go in the Hot Springs,
<v Speaker 2>which is about a half a mile away because it's
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and fifty degrees. Anyway, last couple of thoughts.
<v Speaker 2>I know that food, clothing, and shelter are what we
<v Speaker 2>need to survive. I'm sure the sasquatch tries to find
<v Speaker 2>a place to live where there's food and shelter. Those
<v Speaker 2>are the most important things. And you know, Harrison Hot
<v Speaker 2>Springs has all of those things, a big lake, there's fish,
<v Speaker 2>and lots of high and they were attracted to this
<v Speaker 2>area because of the hot springs. And wouldn't that make
<v Speaker 2>a lot of sense to start looking into hot springs
<v Speaker 2>that are inaccessible in areas where the sasquatch has been cited,
<v Speaker 2>because I think, like food and shelter, this is one
<v Speaker 2>of the things they seek out. Anyway, thank you so
<v Speaker 2>much for listening to me. I wanted to let you
<v Speaker 2>folks know that about a year ago I returned to
<v Speaker 2>the area where I was standing and the area where
<v Speaker 2>the sasquatch was with my phone and recorded the coordinates.
<v Speaker 2>If you're interested, I have recorded them. So yeah, I'm
<v Speaker 2>seventy five, but I feel, you know, twenty years younger.
<v Speaker 2>Getting this off my chest I thank you all for
<v Speaker 2>listening to me. Don't disavow anybody's thoughts about the sasquatch.
<v Speaker 2>Some people maybe haven't really seen them, but where there's smoke,
<v Speaker 2>there's fire, and a lot of people have made reference
<v Speaker 2>to seeing the sasquatch, and I wouldn't disavow the existence
<v Speaker 2>of this animal. And by the way, I don't know
<v Speaker 2>if this particular sasquatch knew I was watching it, but
<v Speaker 2>it didn't seem to care one way or the other.
<v Speaker 2>If it did, it knew I was a young person
<v Speaker 2>and just didn't care. But that's my story. Again, thanks
<v Speaker 2>for listening. By the way, my name is Bert Weitzman.
<v Speaker 2>I'm from Seattle, Washington. I reside in Hawaii now after
<v Speaker 2>working for fifty years and no, I feel so much better.
<v Speaker 2>Thanks again.
<v Speaker 5>By now, well that's it for tonight show. If you've
<v Speaker 5>had a big Foot siding and would like to be
<v Speaker 5>a guest, please go to my Bigfoot Siding dot com
<v Speaker 5>and let us know. Thanks for listening. Have a great night.
