MASSIVE CREATURE IN THE WOODS OF ILLINOIS | UNEXPLAINED ENCOUNTER

<v Speaker 1>Hey guys, and welcome to another Sasquatch Theory podcast. Tonight,
<v Speaker 1>we're heading into the woods of Illinois, an area most
<v Speaker 1>people would never think twice about bigfoot activity. But what
<v Speaker 1>happened to Quentin Smith out there changes everything. What started
<v Speaker 1>as a simple trip to a shooting range turned into
<v Speaker 1>something far more intense, something powerful, aggressive, and impossible to ignore.
<v Speaker 1>The sounds, the movement, the sheer force of whatever was
<v Speaker 1>in the woods. It left a lasting mark on Quentin.
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever had a bigfoot encounter before and would
<v Speaker 1>you like to share your story here on Sasquatch Theory sometime.

<v Speaker 1>you guys want to help with the research. But yeah,
<v Speaker 1>with all that being said, let's dive into our next
<v Speaker 1>Bigfoot report from the state of Illinois. All right, Quentin,
<v Speaker 1>welcome to Sasquatch Theory. How are you doing today?
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing good.
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for having me.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, it's a pleasure to have you on the show.
<v Speaker 1>If you would tell me a little bit about yourself,
<v Speaker 1>where you're from, and your experiences from the very beginning. Please.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>My name's Quentin Smith and I'm from Marshall, Illinois. I'm
<v Speaker 4>forty seven years old and I work for the City
<v Speaker 4>of Marshall in the guests department and had me a
<v Speaker 4>little experience. I just thought i'd reach out to you
<v Speaker 4>about it. I had a an encounter, I believe, I
<v Speaker 4>never laid eyes on it. But my brother in law,
<v Speaker 4>he's real big into it and knows more than I do,
<v Speaker 4>and he kept sending me videos and then we or
<v Speaker 4>talked talking with me about stuff. And then he sent
<v Speaker 4>me one of your videos and you asked for experiences,
<v Speaker 4>and I thought that was kind of like him giving
<v Speaker 4>me the cue to tell somebody. Because I've been kind
<v Speaker 4>of quiet about it. I won't tell too many people
<v Speaker 4>because of the obvious reasons. You know, the ridicule of
<v Speaker 4>the looks you get from time to time from people,
<v Speaker 4>you know that look at disbelief or his a little smirk.
<v Speaker 3>It drives me nuts.
<v Speaker 4>You know, when had they been there to experience what
<v Speaker 4>I did, they would be seeing a different tune.
<v Speaker 3>But anyway, the story goes.
<v Speaker 4>We have summer help kids come every summer to help
<v Speaker 4>out down there at the garage, and a lot of
<v Speaker 4>them are real good kids. And we have one particular one.
<v Speaker 4>This was back in like twenty twelve, twenty thirteen. He
<v Speaker 4>was getting ready to go into the Marine Corps. And
<v Speaker 4>I remember asking him one time towards the end of
<v Speaker 4>his run there at the city if he was nervous
<v Speaker 4>or anything, or what he was looking forward to or
<v Speaker 4>nervous about, and he said he was solid, except for
<v Speaker 4>he had never shot guns or anything like that and
<v Speaker 4>had a little apprehension as far as those went. And
<v Speaker 4>so I offered to take him shooting and get a
<v Speaker 4>little practice, you know, so he could say he's done it.
<v Speaker 4>And he accepted the offer, and we loaded up went
<v Speaker 4>out there to my grandparents' land out west of town,
<v Speaker 4>and there's.
<v Speaker 3>A nice little place right off the road where you can.
<v Speaker 4>Just kind of shoot down this path that's into a hillside,
<v Speaker 4>so you don't have worry about straight shots or anything.
<v Speaker 4>And we went out there and we got to shooting,
<v Speaker 4>and you know, I had a real good time, just
<v Speaker 4>kind of joining ourselves, you know, just having guy talk
<v Speaker 4>and whatnot. And we probably put about four five hundred
<v Speaker 4>rounds maybe down range, so to speak.
<v Speaker 3>And then.
<v Speaker 4>While we were talking, I had been telling him about
<v Speaker 4>how at the top of the one of these hills,
<v Speaker 4>my grandparents had a cabin up there.
<v Speaker 2>And it had burnt down.
<v Speaker 4>But when I was younger, I used to hang out
<v Speaker 4>up there a lot as a youngster and do youngster things,
<v Speaker 4>you know, be rambunctious, have camp outs, party, all that stuff.
<v Speaker 4>And anyway, I told him I'd take him up there
<v Speaker 4>to see it if he wanted to, and uh, he
<v Speaker 4>accepted that offer. And so it was turning dark about
<v Speaker 4>this time, and I remember telling him, I said, Hey,
<v Speaker 4>would you like to carry a handgun? I said, anytime
<v Speaker 4>I'm in the woods, you know, it just makes me
<v Speaker 4>feel better, you know, carry one. And he declined, said
<v Speaker 4>he still didn't feel comfortable enough doing it, and you know,
<v Speaker 4>I thought that was pretty cool that he, you know,
<v Speaker 4>didn't want to risk any kind of mishapp er accident,
<v Speaker 4>or just was honest with me.
<v Speaker 3>So anyway, we it's about a fifty minute walk.
<v Speaker 4>You got to you got to go down this trail
<v Speaker 4>and then you know, go south a little bit around
<v Speaker 4>the bottoms of the hills, then you head up the
<v Speaker 4>third one right by the creek to.
<v Speaker 3>To get there. And we were walking up to him.
<v Speaker 4>We're just kind of chatting freely about this, and I'm
<v Speaker 4>kind of telling how the pond's over here as we're
<v Speaker 4>going over the crest of the hill and we made
<v Speaker 4>a little ways and then.
<v Speaker 3>There was this.
<v Speaker 4>It was like a hillacious, roaring kind of scream that
<v Speaker 4>just kind of belted out like almost in front of us.
<v Speaker 4>It felt like it was probably I don't know, maybe
<v Speaker 4>fifty seventy.
<v Speaker 3>Five yards away. I'm not real good at distances dark.
<v Speaker 4>And when that blast from that roar hit me, I
<v Speaker 4>mean I felt.
<v Speaker 3>It in my guts.
<v Speaker 4>It like reverberated inside me, and I just remember it
<v Speaker 4>was like a lightning bolt of fear kind of going
<v Speaker 4>through my body as I looked that way, and he
<v Speaker 4>was to my left and slightly behind me when it hit,
<v Speaker 4>and I'm looking at it and I'm kind of like
<v Speaker 4>just like.
<v Speaker 2>Sucking in air.
<v Speaker 4>I'm just like because they've taught me by such big surprise,
<v Speaker 4>And then all of a sudden, I just heard like
<v Speaker 4>a bursting of brush like I'd never heard. I mean,
<v Speaker 4>whatever was disrupting that. I mean, it was large lends breaking.
<v Speaker 4>And as I started hearing this grunting, growling, kind of
<v Speaker 4>guitorial sound, and I look over my shoulder and I'm
<v Speaker 4>trying to say his name. I look over my shoulder
<v Speaker 4>at him, and his eyes were like saucers, just you know, fear,
<v Speaker 4>abject fear on both of our faces. I'm sure, but
<v Speaker 4>I mean, his eyes were like saucers. And I remember saying,
<v Speaker 4>I can't believe this is happening. And it just kept
<v Speaker 4>doing it, and it would kept but it kind of
<v Speaker 4>seemed like it.
<v Speaker 3>Was switching spots.
<v Speaker 4>One minute, it would kind of feel like it was
<v Speaker 4>at my three o'clock, and then you know, it would
<v Speaker 4>be like.
<v Speaker 3>At nine, you know, just kind of.
<v Speaker 4>So I just I remember looking at him and saying,
<v Speaker 4>I can't believe this is happening. And I pulled my
<v Speaker 4>pistol out and aimed it in the general direction where
<v Speaker 4>I thought the sounds was coming from, because it just
<v Speaker 4>kept happening, just in rapid succession. And he reached down
<v Speaker 4>and picked up the biggest limb he could find, and
<v Speaker 4>it kind of gave me little confidence. I the words
<v Speaker 4>I brought him out there, and I thought, damn, something
<v Speaker 4>happens to us, you know, it's gonna be my fault.
<v Speaker 4>I felt, you know, responsible, and I said, we're get
<v Speaker 4>the hell out of here, and and then my voice
<v Speaker 4>is shaken talking about it now. But I said, we're
<v Speaker 4>leaving here, and we're leaving facing it. We're not going
<v Speaker 4>to turn our backs on it. And I had the gun.
<v Speaker 4>We don't have no light either, no flashlight, so kind
<v Speaker 4>of let me face and we were like back to back,
<v Speaker 4>half shoulder shoulder turning all these little incremental turns as
<v Speaker 4>these different sounds and bursting a brush and growling and
<v Speaker 4>guitorial sounds were occurring all the way down the hill,
<v Speaker 4>and I'd say, about oh, maybe the last five minutes
<v Speaker 4>of the walk, we finally quit hearing it, but we
<v Speaker 4>never let our guard down and we moved slowly.
<v Speaker 3>I felt like.
<v Speaker 4>Something was being territorial, is what it felt like to
<v Speaker 4>me at first, because I thought, well, whatever this was huge,
<v Speaker 4>and if it wanted to do a you know, just
<v Speaker 4>burst upon us and do whatever it could have did
<v Speaker 4>it real easy, And I mean.
<v Speaker 3>We were just like dumbstruck.
<v Speaker 2>I mean I remember when we got into.
<v Speaker 4>The my jeep to leave. We didn't really say a
<v Speaker 4>whole lot. I mean, we were like, man, what the
<v Speaker 4>hell was that? And just we're just kind of both
<v Speaker 4>in disbelief and shock, I think, And you know, I
<v Speaker 4>took him back to his house and he apologized for
<v Speaker 4>the scare and everything, and I remember him giving me
<v Speaker 4>some money for AMMO because he's a good young man.
<v Speaker 4>He's like, here, I know, AMMO costs money. And anyway,
<v Speaker 4>I come home and I you know, got in my
<v Speaker 4>fridge and cracked up on a couple of beers and
<v Speaker 4>got on YouTube.
<v Speaker 3>Started one.
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to find out what that sound was, because
<v Speaker 4>it's nothing like I'd ever heard in my life. And
<v Speaker 4>so I'm out there and I'm looking and and my
<v Speaker 4>search is turning up nothing. You know, I'm checking out
<v Speaker 4>all these sounds to everything. I'm starting narrow, you know,
<v Speaker 4>here in this area in the Midwest, everything in the US,
<v Speaker 4>to even animals that you know are not on this continent,
<v Speaker 4>and not finding nothing. I start seeing in the suggestion
<v Speaker 4>bar off to the right, bigfoot vocalizations and sounds, and
<v Speaker 4>I kept kind of avoiding it for a while, and
<v Speaker 4>then finally was like, you know what, heck, you know,
<v Speaker 4>let's see what it sounds like. And I mean the
<v Speaker 4>hair on the back of my neck stood up. I
<v Speaker 4>can't remember what number it was in these vocalizations.
<v Speaker 2>I can't even I can't even find the video anymore.
<v Speaker 4>But I've looked really hard, and my brother in law
<v Speaker 4>sent me one that had a scream that was very
<v Speaker 4>similar to the opening scream that we heard, like letting
<v Speaker 4>us know what was there. But anyway, I heard it
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, oh my God, that sounds so
<v Speaker 4>much like it, and just to kind of mess with God,
<v Speaker 4>damn you.
<v Speaker 3>Say his name.
<v Speaker 4>I call him and I'm like, hey, h before I
<v Speaker 4>can even say anything, I'm sorry. Before I can even say.
<v Speaker 3>Anything, he answers the phone and.
<v Speaker 4>Says, let me guess Bigfoot, right, And I said, why
<v Speaker 4>would you say that?
<v Speaker 3>And he said, because that's all I could find on
<v Speaker 3>my search.
<v Speaker 4>And my mother she lived in like a heavily wooded
<v Speaker 4>area over in Indiana, and she had an experience when
<v Speaker 4>she was younger, and that's what they had attributed it to.
<v Speaker 3>So that's kind how that story went.
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I can remember going to work talking to
<v Speaker 4>guys that knew the outdoors better than me, and I
<v Speaker 4>would play some of those sounds for them and ask
<v Speaker 4>them what what animal they thought.
<v Speaker 3>That might be.
<v Speaker 4>And I can never get a good you know, everybody's like,
<v Speaker 4>I have no idea, of course, none of them.
<v Speaker 3>You know.
<v Speaker 4>I never let him know what they were listening to.
<v Speaker 4>I never let him see what was on the screen
<v Speaker 4>of the phone or anything. So that's my story pretty much.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I've.
<v Speaker 4>Part of you know, I haven't seen him in a
<v Speaker 4>long time. He used to come and visit, and I've
<v Speaker 4>I've often wanted to ask him. I thought about what
<v Speaker 4>he would think about it this many years later, if
<v Speaker 4>he's you know, kind of buried it or doesn't want
<v Speaker 4>to talk about it, or has you know, had to
<v Speaker 4>change a thought. But he uttered the words bigfoot before
<v Speaker 4>I did, you.
<v Speaker 3>Know when I when I called him, and I would
<v Speaker 3>love to run into him again.
<v Speaker 4>Ever since I've got to talking about with my brother
<v Speaker 4>in law, I've been really itching to find him kind
<v Speaker 4>of it. I don't have Facebook, and I think his
<v Speaker 4>folks moved out of town, and you know, he's off
<v Speaker 4>doing hopefully, get things with his life.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, hopefully he's doing well. And I appreciate you for
<v Speaker 1>sharing that experience. With me, and it sounds terrifying. I've
<v Speaker 1>had similar experiences myself. And yeah, when you hear this scream,
<v Speaker 1>it'll just rumble your insides and you know immediately that
<v Speaker 1>this is no normal situation, no natural animal in the woods,
<v Speaker 1>and you know that something's off. So you could hear
<v Speaker 1>it charging through the brush and it was like grunting
<v Speaker 1>and huffing. Is that correct?
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Yeah, and I forgot that too.
<v Speaker 4>There was times that I remember feeling like almost like
<v Speaker 4>I could hear like a stomping or like a beating
<v Speaker 4>of its feet, like off the ground, like something large
<v Speaker 4>hitting the ground even And yeah, and like the crunches
<v Speaker 4>I heard. You know, we pick, we cut a lot
<v Speaker 4>of trees, fell a lot of tree you know, do
<v Speaker 4>a lot of work like that, so I know when
<v Speaker 4>big limbs are broken and cracked and stuff. And it was,
<v Speaker 4>and it's really thick up there, So just to go
<v Speaker 4>through anything, you're gonna get cut the heck up. There's
<v Speaker 4>briers and thorn bushes and just everything up there. It
<v Speaker 4>can be pretty thick, and especially in the area it
<v Speaker 4>was coming from. And yeah, I mean it was just
<v Speaker 4>bursting through it like it was nothing. And the sounds
<v Speaker 4>that made I mean, it just it was heart stopping
<v Speaker 4>for sure.
<v Speaker 3>I mean I was like, I don't know, almost like a.
<v Speaker 4>Like a piece of grass in the wind, just like waving,
<v Speaker 4>you know, for that brief segm when that initial yell came,
<v Speaker 4>I was just like I remember like sucking.
<v Speaker 3>In air and just being like, what in the hell
<v Speaker 3>is that?
<v Speaker 2>You know?
<v Speaker 4>And then when the grunting and you know, the brush
<v Speaker 4>started bursting and they kept getting closer.
<v Speaker 3>It was kind of working this way closer.
<v Speaker 4>But like I said, I couldn't endpoint, and I didn't
<v Speaker 4>have a flashlight and the gun I had just you know,
<v Speaker 4>I had like seventeen shots, you know, and it just
<v Speaker 4>felt like I had now it would be insufficient for
<v Speaker 4>whatever was out there. I remember thinking that too. I mean,
<v Speaker 4>it's better than nothing, I guess.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, it sounds like a spooky situation. And what
<v Speaker 1>part of Illinois was this?
<v Speaker 4>Then we're right by the Indana border, like about fifty
<v Speaker 4>miles from de North Tarot, Indiana. Is that it would
<v Speaker 4>be it's west of Marshall, kind of between Martinsville and
<v Speaker 4>Marshall closer to Martinsville, Illinois.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so on the east side of the state, yes, okay.
<v Speaker 1>Is there a major waterway that goes through the area.
<v Speaker 4>There is a big cricket that people frequent side by sides,
<v Speaker 4>and there's a I found out later this is another
<v Speaker 4>interesting tidbit. This is and this is fairly recent, but
<v Speaker 4>we were dealing with some shenanigans going on out there
<v Speaker 4>around the property and the cops had to get involved.
<v Speaker 4>And it ended up with me talking with a neighbor
<v Speaker 4>guy who lived near the land that my grandparents owned
<v Speaker 4>and that my mother, you know, they since passed. My
<v Speaker 4>mother owns it and I spent a few buildings out
<v Speaker 4>there and stuff. And we were out there while the
<v Speaker 4>police pretending to their business, and so me and him
<v Speaker 4>are making small talk, just waiting to see what was
<v Speaker 4>gonna come of this situation. And he started talking to
<v Speaker 4>me and telling me, you know, about how he had
<v Speaker 4>seen these giant cats back there, that people don't believe them,
<v Speaker 4>how big they are, and he was giving me descriptions,
<v Speaker 4>and he said, I'm bound determined, you.
<v Speaker 3>Know, I'm going to get a photo of it one day.
<v Speaker 4>You know, I'm letting him do most of the talking
<v Speaker 4>because he knows the area, and I'm just trying to
<v Speaker 4>absorb anything he knows about the area, you know, learn
<v Speaker 4>from him. And he's telling me about that and some
<v Speaker 4>other stuff and the weird noises, and I said about
<v Speaker 4>how many owls and stuff there are out there, which
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know was a thing till recently but could.
<v Speaker 2>Be a thing.
<v Speaker 4>But anyway, there towards the end of him telling me
<v Speaker 4>about that, he he kind of paused for a second,
<v Speaker 4>like almost like he was questioning whether it's saying thing
<v Speaker 4>or not. And he said, well, he's like my wife's
<v Speaker 4>wears up and down. She's seen a big footback here
<v Speaker 4>twice and I haven't seen it, and but she swear
<v Speaker 4>she has. And that was my opening, and I said, well,
<v Speaker 4>let me tell you a story. And I just laid
<v Speaker 4>on what I told you, and uh, I just watched
<v Speaker 4>his demeanor and face change from like kind of like
<v Speaker 4>a smiling, nodding, you know, facial features to kind of
<v Speaker 4>like a dropped face and mouth kind of half open.
<v Speaker 3>And he didn't really say a whole lot after that.
<v Speaker 4>And then his wife actually ended up showing up shortly
<v Speaker 4>after I told him that story, but he never said
<v Speaker 4>anything to her to my knowledge.
<v Speaker 3>But I wanted to run into him, but.
<v Speaker 4>Sent you know, since then to kind of ask him
<v Speaker 4>more questions or see if I could speak to her
<v Speaker 4>about it. But given that situation, and he was dealing
<v Speaker 4>with some some healthy shoes at the time, but he
<v Speaker 4>seemed to be doing much better.
<v Speaker 3>So I thought that was interesting that she had said that,
<v Speaker 3>and I didn't.
<v Speaker 4>I offered nothing, you know, I was just I was
<v Speaker 4>just listening to him tell stories and things that he
<v Speaker 4>had solved.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and the fact that you guys both came up
<v Speaker 1>with the same conclusion that it was probably bigfoot, that
<v Speaker 1>says a lot because you both researched it and that
<v Speaker 1>was the only thing you can come up with. And
<v Speaker 1>I don't know any other animal, especially in that area,
<v Speaker 1>that can just charge through the brush like that. The
<v Speaker 1>thumping sound that you heard, did it sound like somebody
<v Speaker 1>picked up like a giant sandbag or a giant log
<v Speaker 1>and just dropped it on the ground like a boom.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it could be.
<v Speaker 4>I mean I at one point, you know, if you're
<v Speaker 4>you could be standing twenty thirty feet away from a
<v Speaker 4>big log.
<v Speaker 3>That hits the ground when you're cutting down a tree.
<v Speaker 4>And you can almost feel it, you know, or kind
<v Speaker 4>of like when you're born in something underground. It's almost
<v Speaker 4>felt like I could feel underneath my feet. I don't
<v Speaker 4>know if that's my imagination or not. Yeah, there was
<v Speaker 4>definitely the fump of something hid in the ground, and
<v Speaker 4>sometimes it'd be thump thumped, and in my mind I
<v Speaker 4>was equated to somethings like posturing up or it's like
<v Speaker 4>it's just making as much noise, you know, and whatever
<v Speaker 4>to get.
<v Speaker 2>Made the hell out out of there, because I felt.
<v Speaker 4>Like I must have disrupted something that that land hadn't
<v Speaker 4>been in.
<v Speaker 3>Use a whole lot up to that point.
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't being leased out and I don't think anybody
<v Speaker 4>was mushroom untament except for me on the occasion. And yeah,
<v Speaker 4>just in one of the things that guy said too,
<v Speaker 4>it was telling me about his wife seeing it, and
<v Speaker 4>he said, he said, I I wouldn't be surprised about
<v Speaker 4>anything dating backer, because he said there's a.
<v Speaker 3>Bunch of caves and stuff back there too.
<v Speaker 4>It's I've never really rode the creek or anything like that,
<v Speaker 4>but I guess there's lots of little, good, little hiding places.
<v Speaker 3>And I'd also add too.
<v Speaker 4>That like I've kind of been gaining a lot of
<v Speaker 4>knowledge watching your stuff and I was watching one video
<v Speaker 4>where you were walking through the woods with a fella,
<v Speaker 4>and you guys were pointing out stuff that I felt
<v Speaker 4>like I've seen in my woods, but I just didn't
<v Speaker 4>equate it to that.
<v Speaker 3>If you know what I mean. I've never really dived
<v Speaker 3>into the subject.
<v Speaker 4>That hardcore, but I mean there's I remember just being
<v Speaker 4>out there, like, man, there are trees down everywhere, and
<v Speaker 4>then there's these weird archways, like the way some of
<v Speaker 4>these trees were bent. I remember thinking it looked a
<v Speaker 4>natural and so my heart was kind of kicking up
<v Speaker 4>a little bit as you were walking through the woods
<v Speaker 4>with this one fella and pointing out certain things, like
<v Speaker 4>I need to go back and see make sure it's
<v Speaker 4>not my mind playing tricks on me.
<v Speaker 3>But there's stuff back there. It seems to me very
<v Speaker 3>similar to what you were finding.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it seems like once you're aware of these creatures
<v Speaker 1>being out there, all of a sudden, you start finding
<v Speaker 1>things here and there. It does sound like the Sasquatch
<v Speaker 1>was being territorial for sure. Do you think that was
<v Speaker 1>because you guys had a firearm, because you guys were
<v Speaker 1>shooting that day.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's kind of what I equated it to in
<v Speaker 2>my head.
<v Speaker 4>I just I thought, boy, you know, I mean, we
<v Speaker 4>never heard nothing until we get top of the hill,
<v Speaker 4>and you know, we put quite a few down there,
<v Speaker 4>and yeah, I just thought, boy, we must have.
<v Speaker 3>Really, you know, we were shooting in its general direction.
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it was south west of us, but we
<v Speaker 4>were shooting west, but it was more you know, on
<v Speaker 4>the south side of the property. But we were definitely
<v Speaker 4>shooting in kind of its general direction and making a
<v Speaker 4>heck of a lot of noise and bad timing on
<v Speaker 4>the going up there as it turned dark. You know,
<v Speaker 4>I should have we should have put him up sooner
<v Speaker 4>and walked up there. But it just kind of entered
<v Speaker 4>my mind there a thing. It's like, oh, yeah, hey,
<v Speaker 4>by the way, would you like to go up there and.
<v Speaker 2>And see that?
<v Speaker 4>And he's, oh, absolutely, And so we walked up there
<v Speaker 4>with you know, we might have our phones on us.
<v Speaker 3>I can't remember. I don't carry my phone on me
<v Speaker 3>a whole lot.
<v Speaker 4>If I'm you know, doing stuff like that, typically I'll
<v Speaker 4>leave it in the vehicle or but.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was.
<v Speaker 3>It was terrifying.
<v Speaker 4>It stuck with me, and it's it's a I've seen
<v Speaker 4>another video which this guy summed up how I was feeling.
<v Speaker 4>I was literally filming this as I watched a video
<v Speaker 4>of he had like a territorial encounter, a very scary one.
<v Speaker 3>It sounded much worse than mine.
<v Speaker 4>And he was talking about all these good experiences that
<v Speaker 4>he saw, you know, on some of these videos.
<v Speaker 3>I remember feeling the same way.
<v Speaker 4>I was feeling the same way because I was like, man,
<v Speaker 4>so make people have good ones, you know what I mean,
<v Speaker 4>whether they're peaceful and seeing kind of good. But I'm
<v Speaker 4>also finding out that there's lots of people who have
<v Speaker 4>had experiences like mine where it's pretty terrifying.
<v Speaker 3>You know.
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't imagine like seeing one face to face or
<v Speaker 4>bearing its teeth or anything like that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure, I'm not sure like if it's good
<v Speaker 1>ones and bad ones, or if it's the same ones
<v Speaker 1>that are interacting with people and then later on they
<v Speaker 1>turn and then they're pretty territorial. But I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>I hear that a lot with chimps, like they're peaceful,
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're all interacting, doing their own thing, and
<v Speaker 1>those same chimps in Africa would just go you know,
<v Speaker 1>like berserk and just completely turn on people or on
<v Speaker 1>their own group, and I think the same thing's going
<v Speaker 1>on in Sasquatch. I think they'll interact and then later
<v Speaker 1>on they get like pissed off.
<v Speaker 4>Right, You kind of wonder, do you think too, Maybe
<v Speaker 4>there's it's kind of like people, there's there's good ones
<v Speaker 4>and there's bad ones, or there's nice ones and there's
<v Speaker 4>mean ones.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe or oh yeah, for sure. And I mean we
<v Speaker 1>see that with people, and it's just a scary thought.
<v Speaker 1>Even the nicest person, you know, can get ticked off.
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, sure, Well I did go.
<v Speaker 4>We got a I got a cabin out there I
<v Speaker 4>stay at now, but it's on the other side of
<v Speaker 4>the creek and it's closer to a field, more wide
<v Speaker 4>open area, but it's tucked back in this little nook.
<v Speaker 4>And I was sitting out on the porch before I
<v Speaker 4>went to went into for bed one night, and you know,
<v Speaker 4>it might've been my mind just getting away from it,
<v Speaker 4>but I mean I started hearing some noises there that
<v Speaker 4>just didn't seem seem right. It was just like so
<v Speaker 4>many owls and sounds being made. Like at first, I
<v Speaker 4>wasn't too nervous about it. I was like, you know,
<v Speaker 4>God will protect me, And I was you know, feeling
<v Speaker 4>strong about it, but I could tell you there it
<v Speaker 4>changed like right before I went in, all of a sudden,
<v Speaker 4>it kind of got real quiet. Then I started hearing
<v Speaker 4>like it didn't sound like anything on all fours moving around.
<v Speaker 4>I started hearing some movement again, and I felt like
<v Speaker 4>a sense of dread kind of wash over me, and
<v Speaker 4>I was like, yeah, it's it's time to go in.
<v Speaker 4>So I went in and locked the door, and you know,
<v Speaker 4>I have my shotgun there with me just in case,
<v Speaker 4>but covered up all the windows and nothing could see
<v Speaker 4>in at me, and just tried to, you know, find
<v Speaker 4>peace while I was out there, because I went out
<v Speaker 4>there to kind of relax and collect my thoughts, and
<v Speaker 4>it was kind of like a you know, that sense
<v Speaker 4>of something.
<v Speaker 3>Something was kind of like watching me or something.
<v Speaker 4>And then I you know, it was my mind playing
<v Speaker 4>tricks or not, you know, because I've watched more Bigfoot stuff,
<v Speaker 4>you know, recently than ever. But I'm sitting there thinking, man,
<v Speaker 4>that just seemed like an unnatural amount of alcoholing and stuff.
<v Speaker 4>And then something was moving closer and I'm shining my
<v Speaker 4>light every which way trying to catch something that it
<v Speaker 4>was so thick back there couldn't really see much, and
<v Speaker 4>and the switch from feeling safe to feeling scared happened. Really,
<v Speaker 4>it was like all of a sudden, like, yeah, time
<v Speaker 4>to go, you know, time to go in.
<v Speaker 3>And I wasted no time, just got in there, locked
<v Speaker 3>the door and tried to calm down.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you never know, it could have been that same
<v Speaker 1>group that came back to check on you and possibly
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to freak you out. Was this after that incident?
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Actually this was like about a month ago, believe
<v Speaker 4>it or not.
<v Speaker 3>I was out there for three.
<v Speaker 4>Days, and only that happened the first night or the
<v Speaker 4>second night. The first night, you know, I was just
<v Speaker 4>I kind of got a late start getting.
<v Speaker 2>Settled in, so I didn't really hang around.
<v Speaker 4>On the porch much that evening, and it was just
<v Speaker 4>kind of getting everything set up the way I wanted
<v Speaker 4>it and everything. And then the first full day I
<v Speaker 4>was there, that night was when that happened. So the
<v Speaker 4>third night I didn't even linger at night, you know,
<v Speaker 4>once I put everything away, I just went in and
<v Speaker 4>hung out inside the cabin. It's like the nights is
<v Speaker 4>I'm not gonna I'm gonna argue on that or.
<v Speaker 1>Fight on that yeah, absolutely. And do you ever go
<v Speaker 1>out searching for answers like trying to find these creatures?
<v Speaker 1>Have you went back to that same area that you
<v Speaker 1>had the experience at?
<v Speaker 3>I have, yeah, And I lost I lost my phone.
<v Speaker 4>It was weird, A bunch of moisture got into it
<v Speaker 4>and I lost everything because I'm I'm like not a
<v Speaker 4>tech guy at all.
<v Speaker 3>I don't, you know, do all that stuff.
<v Speaker 4>So I lost a bunch of photos of footprints that
<v Speaker 4>I had been collecting, like very weird footprints. And again
<v Speaker 4>it's like the type of stuff. It starts off with
<v Speaker 4>me looking, can't find nothing, and some of them, some
<v Speaker 4>of them were like abnormal, almost like three prong I
<v Speaker 4>don't know how to describe, like a turkey track, but different, bigger.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, I couldn't find nothing on the internet, and.
<v Speaker 4>None of the hunters and guys I work with anybody
<v Speaker 4>I showed you could tell me what the heck it was.
<v Speaker 4>And I had pictures with my hand down there by
<v Speaker 4>it for size and the gap between it and everything.
<v Speaker 3>And I recently ran across some.
<v Speaker 4>Barefoot prints like or not bare, but like a barefoot
<v Speaker 4>of like a human, like really long, but it's kind
<v Speaker 4>of narrow. I'd say probably fifteen inches or better. I
<v Speaker 4>had a couple with my foot down there bye our
<v Speaker 4>worseize twelves, and it was a good ways past my toes,
<v Speaker 4>but it was very narrow footing, but the heel was
<v Speaker 4>really dropped down low.
<v Speaker 3>And all the prints, but I could never find where
<v Speaker 3>the tracks would lead.
<v Speaker 4>I'd find a few and then I couldn't find anymore,
<v Speaker 4>and it would make no sense because the area I'm
<v Speaker 4>in is just so wet. Anything walking through there's going
<v Speaker 4>to leave a print. Yeah, my nephew, he's had it.
<v Speaker 4>He tried to stay out there. There's a matter of fact,
<v Speaker 4>there's still a hammock out there from where he went
<v Speaker 4>to go stay. He will not go back and get
<v Speaker 4>it because he got ran out of the woods. He
<v Speaker 4>left a bunch of throwing axes and his hammock and
<v Speaker 4>some other stuff.
<v Speaker 3>I had to go back and get it for him, and.
<v Speaker 4>It was kind of terrifying too, But I can't remember
<v Speaker 4>what exactly what the sounds were like. He said his
<v Speaker 4>was kind of like more like a.
<v Speaker 3>Childlike giggling or something or something like that.
<v Speaker 4>It was just funny because I had never told him
<v Speaker 4>the stories I didn't want to be scared to go
<v Speaker 4>out there, you know, or anything. And I didn't know
<v Speaker 4>he was camping out there though when he went in camp.
<v Speaker 3>It just I found out later.
<v Speaker 4>I was up there on my side by side with
<v Speaker 4>my nephew, my other nephew, and I look. I was like, well, well
<v Speaker 4>there's a red hammock. And when we look down we
<v Speaker 4>find all this other stuff. And so I call and
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, hey, what's up with all this? Way'd you
<v Speaker 4>leave this stuff out there? And he's like, oh, I
<v Speaker 4>didn't tell you something around me out of the woods.
<v Speaker 4>And he's like, I just left the ship, didn't look
<v Speaker 4>over my shoulder.
<v Speaker 3>Got on my bike, and you know, got the heck
<v Speaker 3>out of there.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that sounds like sasquatch. How long ago was your experience?
<v Speaker 4>The big one where I was with the young guy
<v Speaker 4>for going into the Marines, that was like twenty twelve,
<v Speaker 4>twenty thirteen, Okay, somewhere in there.
<v Speaker 1>That was a while ago. What about the guy that
<v Speaker 1>got ran out of the woods.
<v Speaker 3>My nephew, that was a couple of years ago.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so it sounds like they're still in the area.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And like I said, I'm gonna go back and
<v Speaker 4>get some pictures of some of the stuff. Now, he says,
<v Speaker 4>I'm getting a lot of education, like watching your channel
<v Speaker 4>and a lot of others.
<v Speaker 3>And I remember, like saying it to myself or whatever,
<v Speaker 3>was like, this is weird. Look at the way.
<v Speaker 4>This is bent almost like an archway that you could
<v Speaker 4>walk under, and then the way there's a lot of
<v Speaker 4>like ones that just land where they're standing up, like
<v Speaker 4>like I saw one of your videos, and then just
<v Speaker 4>tons of trees pushed down.
<v Speaker 3>I mean there was one tree that like the main path.
<v Speaker 4>Up to where my event happened, this huge tree that
<v Speaker 4>had all kinds of green leaves on it just looked healthy,
<v Speaker 4>had just fell over out of the blue and blocked
<v Speaker 4>the pathway. So the lands being leased now to a fella,
<v Speaker 4>and he chopped it up, but I mean it was
<v Speaker 4>right in the way like where Yeah, it's like a
<v Speaker 4>footpath for deer and everything, and they're real heavy through there,
<v Speaker 4>and he's got trail cans, and you know, I keep
<v Speaker 4>waiting to hopefully hear the he catches something on there, you.
<v Speaker 3>Know what I mean, because I know we're sorry he's
<v Speaker 3>got a couple up there.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that'd be really cool. If he caught a photo
<v Speaker 1>of these things, that'd be awesome. Do you plan on
<v Speaker 1>going back there to camp?
<v Speaker 4>If I do, I will probably go to the cabin.
<v Speaker 4>I'll admit, I don't think I got the courage to
<v Speaker 4>go where my nephew Aiden went where he's got his hand,
<v Speaker 4>because that's up there by the pond where my grandparents
<v Speaker 4>had a house. And I don't know after what I've
<v Speaker 4>had happened, if I would, if I'd had the courage
<v Speaker 4>or not.
<v Speaker 3>You know, yeah, quite honestly.
<v Speaker 1>The thought of that would be in your mind the
<v Speaker 1>whole time you were camping out there, especially at night
<v Speaker 1>time when you're trying to go to sleep.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, absolutely, And I've seen too many where people like
<v Speaker 4>you know, the last thing I want to do shoot.
<v Speaker 2>Something like that.
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't self defense.
<v Speaker 4>Because it seems like they're not really hurting them. I'm
<v Speaker 4>carrying heavy loads though, But I'll stay in the cabin
<v Speaker 4>when I go out there.
<v Speaker 3>And like I said, that's a little safe.
<v Speaker 4>You're more by a closer to a road to get
<v Speaker 4>out of there, right on the edge of the woods,
<v Speaker 4>and closer to the neighbor that I was telling about
<v Speaker 4>that I spoke to who has seen some weird stuff
<v Speaker 4>out there in his time living out there.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you never fired off a shot when this
<v Speaker 1>thing was charging through the brush.
<v Speaker 4>I did not, because I did know that there would
<v Speaker 4>be some houses that I just was afraid. On that end,
<v Speaker 4>I just thought it was so dark I wanted it
<v Speaker 4>to get close. I didn't have a light on the
<v Speaker 4>gun or anything, which now I have a light on
<v Speaker 4>my pistol that I take out there and on my.
<v Speaker 3>Shotgun, and I got into lights after that event.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what else have you experienced throughout your life? Have
<v Speaker 1>you ever had like a UFO sighting or any paranormal experiences?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, that's that's what's weird.
<v Speaker 4>I was just asking a budding long ago about if
<v Speaker 4>I'm weird because I've I feel like I've had a
<v Speaker 4>lot of odd stuff happen that I don't And I
<v Speaker 4>asked him if is it just me?
<v Speaker 2>Or is it happened to a lot of people and.
<v Speaker 4>They just don't you know, they don't have the courage
<v Speaker 4>to say it, or you know what I mean?
<v Speaker 3>And he kind of leaned towards the ladder.
<v Speaker 4>But I have had some paranormal experiences with ghost I
<v Speaker 4>had one when I was a little kid, and it's
<v Speaker 4>actually happened out where I'm living now. I live right
<v Speaker 4>next door to my grandparents' house. They built a retirement
<v Speaker 4>home right by where they lived, and that's what I
<v Speaker 4>moved into. And we were sitting and me and my
<v Speaker 4>little sister were sitting in the driveway waiting on mom
<v Speaker 4>and Dad to come out. Is Christmas eve, and I
<v Speaker 4>looked off to the north there where a little houses
<v Speaker 4>there now, and I seen a glowing green figure. It
<v Speaker 4>just looked like it was weird. It almost like pulsating
<v Speaker 4>that I could make out enough that it looked like
<v Speaker 4>it was wearing like a hat from the eighteen hundreds
<v Speaker 4>and suspenders and you know, almost remind you like an
<v Speaker 4>Abraham Lincoln type guard. And he was digging and just
<v Speaker 4>this motion of digging, just kept taking stabs into the
<v Speaker 4>ground and throwing dirt over his shoulder. And there was
<v Speaker 4>a lady and a daughter standing there holding hands, watching
<v Speaker 4>this man.
<v Speaker 2>Work and dig.
<v Speaker 4>And I remember rubbing my eyes and thinking, man, that sure,
<v Speaker 4>you know that, sure looks like somebody's out there doing something,
<v Speaker 4>but they're glowing green. Couldn't figure out what it was,
<v Speaker 4>and I asked my sister to if she saw it,
<v Speaker 4>and she saw it, and she kind of start having
<v Speaker 4>a panic moment, and I ran in, ran in and
<v Speaker 4>got by my dad finally to come out there, and
<v Speaker 4>of course it was gone by.
<v Speaker 3>Then couldn't see it, and.
<v Speaker 4>He was able to kind of calm me down, still
<v Speaker 4>be very understanding about it. I had a good father.
<v Speaker 3>In that way. And anyway, I moved out here.
<v Speaker 4>When I was like thirty three, I think thirty two
<v Speaker 4>thirty three, and I remember my sister saying, well, quinn A,
<v Speaker 4>you sure you want to be out there with all
<v Speaker 4>them goes. I said, oh, Mage, that's that's fine. I said,
<v Speaker 4>maybe that was just a figment of our imagination. She
<v Speaker 4>wasn't so sure. Well, fast forward a couple of years
<v Speaker 4>past after I moved in, and I was my son.
<v Speaker 4>He's very high functioning, autistic, just a beautiful soul, very
<v Speaker 4>childlike and very intelligent.
<v Speaker 2>And I was teaching him how to.
<v Speaker 3>Grill cook out on the grill, and we had walked
<v Speaker 3>in to.
<v Speaker 4>Get some of the seasonings and the plates and some
<v Speaker 4>of the utensils we need, and we were talking and
<v Speaker 4>we were walking to the front door, and he looked
<v Speaker 4>out the window of the front door, and he just
<v Speaker 4>stopped dead in his tracks, and I ran into the
<v Speaker 4>back of him, actually, and I said.
<v Speaker 3>Hey, buddy, what are you doing?
<v Speaker 4>He said, Dad, he said, there's a there's a man
<v Speaker 4>out there in our shed.
<v Speaker 3>And I said, what do you mean. He said, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>he said he's glowing green.
<v Speaker 4>He said he's wearing a hat, and he's got red
<v Speaker 4>eyes and a beard, and he smiled at me. And
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I just the hair on the back of
<v Speaker 4>my neck stod up, and I immediately look over his
<v Speaker 4>shoulder and I can't see nothing, but I just, you know,
<v Speaker 4>in my mind, I'm wondering. Sometimes it's the purity of
<v Speaker 4>the person, Like when you're a kid, maybe you're more
<v Speaker 4>susceptible to seeing things like that.
<v Speaker 3>And I think because he was, he's so pure that
<v Speaker 3>he could see it.
<v Speaker 4>Maybe I was immediately calling my sister, my parents, everybody
<v Speaker 4>that I know told we had told the story too,
<v Speaker 4>that didn't believe us, or that hey, my son just
<v Speaker 4>saw what we saw thirty years ago, or you know,
<v Speaker 4>I think I was ten when I saw it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've heard that same description. I recently talked to
<v Speaker 1>a guy from Virginia and he was talking about this
<v Speaker 1>green figure. I haven't posted it up on the channel yet.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know what to make of it. But when
<v Speaker 1>you said that, it kind of struck a chord and realized, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I was like, whoa, what is that?
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was like a pale green And for me,
<v Speaker 4>I mean, my shed's much closer than where me and
<v Speaker 4>my sister viewed it all those years ago. We were
<v Speaker 4>a great distance away then in comparison to my son
<v Speaker 4>looking out the front door and in my shed, which
<v Speaker 4>my shed would be about fifteen yards away. So I mean,
<v Speaker 4>he said he's seen it just like walk through. And
<v Speaker 4>I didn't think to ask, now that I'm telling the story.
<v Speaker 4>The door was shut, so he must have like just
<v Speaker 4>walked right through.
<v Speaker 2>It, you know what I mean, like phase through it
<v Speaker 2>or something.
<v Speaker 4>But he said he looked right at my son and smiled.
<v Speaker 4>And for a long time after my son didn't want
<v Speaker 4>to talkbout because I tried to get more details out
<v Speaker 4>of him. I actually didn't know he smiled until a
<v Speaker 4>couple of years later. Because he would be kind of weird,
<v Speaker 4>not weird, but just different about that. He wouldn't want
<v Speaker 4>to talk about it.
<v Speaker 2>And finally he was having.
<v Speaker 3>A really good day when we were on a golf
<v Speaker 3>cart ride and I said, hey, remember that guy said?
<v Speaker 3>He said, you saw him? And he said yeah, And
<v Speaker 3>I said, well did he?
<v Speaker 2>What was he doing?
<v Speaker 3>You know?
<v Speaker 4>Was he because I just remembered to me, it looked like,
<v Speaker 4>as I researched it later, like maybe he was going
<v Speaker 4>through what do they call that where it's almost like
<v Speaker 4>they're going through like they're like an act of something
<v Speaker 4>that was traumatic in their life.
<v Speaker 3>It was like on a loop or something.
<v Speaker 2>You know, That's what maybe I thought I saw.
<v Speaker 4>But he finally said, well he smiled at me, Dad
<v Speaker 4>and turned and walked away. I thought, wow, so it's
<v Speaker 4>like it's almost like that that ghost or whatever acknowledged him.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And was it wearing clothes?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Yeah, it was like I said, it was kind
<v Speaker 3>of like.
<v Speaker 4>Have you ever seen there will be Blood with Daniel
<v Speaker 4>d lewis m kind of like that, you know, like
<v Speaker 4>what he's always wearing kind of suspenders, you know, just
<v Speaker 4>heavily dressed the way they dressed in the eighteen hundreds.
<v Speaker 4>You know, it could be hotter and sent out and
<v Speaker 4>there out there and you know, full pants and suspenders
<v Speaker 4>and that when they all wear them top hat things.
<v Speaker 4>And I mean I could tell him from the distance
<v Speaker 4>that he had a beard, just because he was like
<v Speaker 4>a pulsating pale green is what it what it looked
<v Speaker 4>like when I saw it. But I could tell, like
<v Speaker 4>the change of color around his face that he.
<v Speaker 3>Had a beard. So but I didn't I didn't know
<v Speaker 3>anything about the red eyes. I couldn't make that out.
<v Speaker 4>And there they said there was like a woman and
<v Speaker 4>a daughter and they like they're wearing like the bonnet
<v Speaker 4>dresses from like Little House in the Prairie type dresses.
<v Speaker 4>And they were just standing there, motionless, just watching this
<v Speaker 4>man work, is what I saw, holding hands and it
<v Speaker 4>looked like maybe, I don't know, bearing something or somebody.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's creepy to think about. Hopefully you don't run
<v Speaker 1>into that again.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, for sure.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, And what do you think these sasquatch creatures are?
<v Speaker 1>What do you think they're here?
<v Speaker 4>The more I researched, I almost feel like they're almost
<v Speaker 4>like a there's something spiritual to them to some degree.
<v Speaker 4>I feel like, I don't know if it's some form
<v Speaker 4>of like a watcher or something, or some last remnant
<v Speaker 4>of you know, an old age that I feel like
<v Speaker 4>they do serve a purpose of mankind.
<v Speaker 3>I just don't know what it is. I just I don't.
<v Speaker 4>I don't chalk it up to like it's just all,
<v Speaker 4>you know, a primate or something like that walking around
<v Speaker 4>or like giganic, gigantic epithecus or whatever it's called. It
<v Speaker 4>seems like they serve a purpose and break to be
<v Speaker 4>able to send emotions through people like it can do
<v Speaker 4>you know what, I mean, to put some people at ease,
<v Speaker 4>or to put some people with fear, and just maybe
<v Speaker 4>they're here to deserve how we're treating the planet and people.
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know. I mean I kind of go
<v Speaker 3>back and forth on that. What about you?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I definitely feel like they're flesh and blood some
<v Speaker 1>type of humanoid primate. I mean, humans are primates. But
<v Speaker 1>I also feel like there's something spiritual behind it. And
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people talk about the nephilim giants. I
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's something from that time, like a pre world,
<v Speaker 1>like something ancient. I've heard people say that too when
<v Speaker 1>they experience this activity. It just it feels ancient, right, Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I would deal with that too on how I feel.
<v Speaker 4>And my brother in law, he's big, and I had
<v Speaker 4>there might be simbility to this. I say, he was
<v Speaker 4>kind of educate me on this and just encouraging me
<v Speaker 4>to tell the stories because I told him about it
<v Speaker 4>a couple of years ago.
<v Speaker 3>And he thinks that they're kind.
<v Speaker 4>Of like interdimensional or something like they can kind of
<v Speaker 4>like leave our viewpoint or shape shift or something. And
<v Speaker 4>that's why it's so easy to why you can't just
<v Speaker 4>find like a long track of or you know, a
<v Speaker 4>long trail of bigfoot tracks. You know where it's walking,
<v Speaker 4>and that kind of makes sense. I've heard many people
<v Speaker 4>say that you know it's there one minute and gone
<v Speaker 4>the next, you know, things like that.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, and I definitely feel like there's something else going on,
<v Speaker 1>something big that people just don't understand you. And it's
<v Speaker 1>also something ancient that's been going on for a long time.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I agree, I'd go with that.
<v Speaker 4>I can't put it to words like at the moment,
<v Speaker 4>neet a lot running through my head and going through
<v Speaker 4>the interview with you and everything.
<v Speaker 3>But.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely I'm not sure what they are, honestly, and I'm
<v Speaker 1>learning something new every day, and it also seems like
<v Speaker 1>the more I learn, the less I know. So it's
<v Speaker 1>it's a difficult thing.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I agree with that. It's a true statement.
<v Speaker 4>Like I would experience some temperature drops from time to
<v Speaker 4>time in the house. I'd find myself walking around trying
<v Speaker 4>to figure out if i'd let the window open or whatever,
<v Speaker 4>because I'd just get this brist chill and it'd only
<v Speaker 4>be like right by where I was sitting.
<v Speaker 3>As soon as i'd move from that general area where
<v Speaker 3>I was at, the air.
<v Speaker 4>Would be different. Things like that, And sometimes we hear
<v Speaker 4>some noises. My sister couldn't.
<v Speaker 2>Believe that I was going to move out here when I.
<v Speaker 4>Told her I was buying the place. So I can't
<v Speaker 4>believe you want to go back out there where the
<v Speaker 4>ghosts were. But I kind of chalked it up to
<v Speaker 4>me is our imagination or maybe they were gone or whatever.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, absolutely, And I've had similar experiences as far
<v Speaker 1>as like strange temperature variations. Especially one time me and
<v Speaker 1>my friend Adam were camping out at his place where
<v Speaker 1>they've had bigfoot activity, and it was like thirty degrees
<v Speaker 1>out there. It was cold and at nighttime, and all
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden we got hit with like this intense heat.
<v Speaker 1>It just seemed like somebody opened up the stove right
<v Speaker 1>in front of us, and you could even see like
<v Speaker 1>the leaves curling up, and we all felt at him
<v Speaker 1>and his wife and everybody else that was standing next
<v Speaker 1>to us. It was strange. I don't know what happened there.
<v Speaker 3>Wow.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So you also had this experience where you and
<v Speaker 1>a friend had missing time or you guys ended up
<v Speaker 1>somewhere else. Can you tell me a little bit more
<v Speaker 1>about that.
<v Speaker 3>Sure.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>One time, me and my nephews who it was, we
<v Speaker 4>were walking through the woods and on my grandparents land
<v Speaker 4>where the possible big Foot encounter happened, and we were
<v Speaker 4>doing like a early check for mushrooms in April, and
<v Speaker 4>we'd entered the land for the land from the south side,
<v Speaker 4>which meant we had to cross the creek that divides
<v Speaker 4>the property. And I remember we walked down and the
<v Speaker 4>banks are kind of hard to climb on it, and
<v Speaker 4>we were looking for the best place to cross over,
<v Speaker 4>and you know, we talked about it for a little
<v Speaker 4>bit and we're like, yeah, we'll just we'll cut over
<v Speaker 4>here and it'll be.
<v Speaker 3>A straight shot into the bottom of the hill.
<v Speaker 4>And we knew where there was a couple of stumps
<v Speaker 4>from trees that had been cut a long time ago,
<v Speaker 4>and it had been logged in the you know, kind
<v Speaker 4>of catch our breath and talk about which way we
<v Speaker 4>want to go and this and that, and it was
<v Speaker 4>pretty simple, straightforward approach we had, and we both were
<v Speaker 4>on the same page. And so we walked across the
<v Speaker 4>creek and you know where it was not gonna walk,
<v Speaker 4>it wasn't gonna get in our boots, and where we
<v Speaker 4>could climb the bank without getting too muddy and too
<v Speaker 4>much strain. I wasn't feeling particularly good that day anyway,
<v Speaker 4>it was a little under the weather. But anyway, we
<v Speaker 4>did all that and we took off walking and it
<v Speaker 4>was just weird because it was like, I don't know
<v Speaker 4>how to describe it. It was almost like things went
<v Speaker 4>slow mo kind of for me, at least. It's been
<v Speaker 4>a long time since I talk him about it. But
<v Speaker 4>as we're walking, I remember just thinking something just seemed off.
<v Speaker 4>And I can't even really begin to tell you.
<v Speaker 3>What it was. Other things seemed slow motion to me.
<v Speaker 4>And we walked and we come up on a stump,
<v Speaker 4>a couple of stumps, and we sat down and we're
<v Speaker 4>kind of looking around and talking a little bit, and
<v Speaker 4>it's at that point where I kind of.
<v Speaker 3>Started looking around and I'm like, we're not where we're
<v Speaker 3>supposed to be, and I'm trying to figure out where
<v Speaker 3>the hell we are.
<v Speaker 4>And I looked behind us a little bit to this
<v Speaker 4>other hill behind us, and we thought we were.
<v Speaker 3>At the first hill. There's like three hills there.
<v Speaker 4>And I looked behind me and then there's this we
<v Speaker 4>got like a bar bar fence, like property divider fence.
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of half up, half down some spots.
<v Speaker 4>And I looked and I seen that, and I thought, well,
<v Speaker 4>how on the hell did we get here? But I'm
<v Speaker 4>so used to weird stuff happening at this point, and I,
<v Speaker 4>you know, I told him all these stories, and he
<v Speaker 4>always I don't know whether you believe me or not.
<v Speaker 4>Per se, I don't think he I don't think he
<v Speaker 4>knew I believe what I saw in instances like this,
<v Speaker 4>because he says he's had a few experiences of his own.
<v Speaker 4>But anyway, I finally told him, I said, dude, I said,
<v Speaker 4>I think we're on the far side of the property.
<v Speaker 4>We're on like the north end, and the roads to
<v Speaker 4>our east, the entry road. And he said, now, it
<v Speaker 4>couldn't be that, and he said.
<v Speaker 2>What I already knew.
<v Speaker 3>I'd already thought about this. He's like, we would have
<v Speaker 3>had to have.
<v Speaker 4>Gone up and down them hills, and you know, up
<v Speaker 4>the hill and down the holler and up the hill
<v Speaker 4>and down the holler.
<v Speaker 3>And I said, I know, but I said, I'm telling you.
<v Speaker 4>I said, where we're at, I said, I recognize, you know,
<v Speaker 4>I've walked this fence rip line before and remember about
<v Speaker 4>all the spots where it was down. And about that time,
<v Speaker 4>we started hearing pop and gravel and we looked to
<v Speaker 4>the east and you know, to our left, and that
<v Speaker 4>we can see the hood of a white vehicle go by,
<v Speaker 4>you know, and I just watched the wheels turn and
<v Speaker 4>I'm kind of grinning because I'm like, you know, another
<v Speaker 4>weird event.
<v Speaker 3>In my life.
<v Speaker 4>And he's just and he just kind of starts throwing
<v Speaker 4>out what are about the best logical conclusions you can
<v Speaker 4>come up with at.
<v Speaker 3>The time, and trying to do a good job. But
<v Speaker 3>finally he gave up me just he just kind of
<v Speaker 3>looked at me.
<v Speaker 4>He said, God, damn, uncle Quinn, I'm not going anywhere
<v Speaker 4>with you anymore. Because we could not figure out what happened,
<v Speaker 4>we ended up a good.
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.
<v Speaker 4>I'd say probably close to four hundred yards from where
<v Speaker 4>maybe further from where our intended spot was. And it
<v Speaker 4>did not seem like that the time had passed and
<v Speaker 4>we did not go up and down the hills and hollers.
<v Speaker 4>It was really, really strange and it still bugs me
<v Speaker 4>to this day. And we went back and we've tried
<v Speaker 4>to rewalk the path. The bank's a little different now,
<v Speaker 4>but we've i know, we've entered, you know, around the
<v Speaker 4>same area several times and walk to that spot and
<v Speaker 4>we've never had that experience again.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that is strange, and I've had people tell me
<v Speaker 1>similar experiences as well. It makes me wonder if it's
<v Speaker 1>like some sort of portal or missing time, and if
<v Speaker 1>it has anything to do with the Bigfoot subject, because
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people have mentioned that they're interdimensional and
<v Speaker 1>it seems like they just show up and then like
<v Speaker 1>they can just disappear, and people have talked about like
<v Speaker 1>the cloaking as well, and the orbs, So it makes
<v Speaker 1>me wonder. You know, people find tracks and they just disappear.
<v Speaker 1>People can't find a body, and there's got to be
<v Speaker 1>a logical explanation to it or an unexplained mystery that's
<v Speaker 1>tied in with this.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I had never even thought about that line of
<v Speaker 4>approach until my brother in law, who's more study than this,
<v Speaker 4>it kind of said the exact same thing you did.
<v Speaker 4>He's like, well, when he said, they're probably because they're
<v Speaker 4>interdimensional beings and you might have like slipped through something
<v Speaker 4>or you know what he kind of deduced. And I
<v Speaker 4>was like, well, I never thought about it, like that's yeah,
<v Speaker 4>it was definitely.
<v Speaker 3>Weird, you know.
<v Speaker 1>I interviewed a lady from Tennessee and she said when
<v Speaker 1>she was a little girl, she was walking with her
<v Speaker 1>family on a trail out in the forest and I
<v Speaker 1>guess when her dad looked back, she was gone. And
<v Speaker 1>she was missing for like six hours or so. And
<v Speaker 1>she said she like reappeared somewhere else and she saw
<v Speaker 1>this bear walking on two legs and she's like, I
<v Speaker 1>don't think it was a bear now, and her her
<v Speaker 1>family ended up finding her obviously, but yeah, it's definitely strange.
<v Speaker 1>I also interviewed another lady from Georgia and she's a
<v Speaker 1>bigfoot researcher, and she said one of the guys saw
<v Speaker 1>an orb and like, when he saw this orb, he
<v Speaker 1>reappeared somewhere like somewhere else in the forest. It was
<v Speaker 1>like a mile away.
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that was wild.
<v Speaker 2>I have I've actually i've had a I've.
<v Speaker 4>Heard some of those stories like you just what you
<v Speaker 4>just said about, like kids going missing and being found
<v Speaker 4>like miles away and fairly clean and all that, like
<v Speaker 4>nothing made sense about it. But I have seen like
<v Speaker 4>one orb one time. I didn't even think about this one,
<v Speaker 4>but I didn't know what to make of It was
<v Speaker 4>just a very simple story of I was we had
<v Speaker 4>an outside contractor there working on something for us, and
<v Speaker 4>I was leaning with my back to the building, just
<v Speaker 4>you know, him do his thing, and you know, I
<v Speaker 4>was just there to kind of let him in and hand.
<v Speaker 2>Him anything if he needed.
<v Speaker 3>It'd be an extra set of hands.
<v Speaker 4>And he was in there working a way, and I
<v Speaker 4>happened to look up and I seen it's.
<v Speaker 3>Probably about the size of a basketball.
<v Speaker 4>And it was kind of like a to the best
<v Speaker 4>way I could describe it as like almost like a
<v Speaker 4>smoky orange, like a rust colored orange gray kind of color.
<v Speaker 4>And it just went over and just silent as can be.
<v Speaker 4>And it's just a perfectly straight line. And I didn't
<v Speaker 4>get excited I actually felt really calm when it went over,
<v Speaker 4>and I wasn't freaking out any and tried to pull
<v Speaker 4>my phone out quick.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I would have.
<v Speaker 3>Ever been able to get a picture of it anyway.
<v Speaker 3>It was gone so fast.
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it seemed to me like it was maybe
<v Speaker 4>moving about fifty sixty miles an iron. I mean, before
<v Speaker 4>I knew it, it was, you know, across the field,
<v Speaker 4>across the interstate and.
<v Speaker 2>Was out of sight. But I was like, Oh, what
<v Speaker 2>the heck is that?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that is strange, and it sounds like you've had
<v Speaker 1>a lot of strange experiences throughout your life. And what
<v Speaker 1>do you think about all that? Like why do you
<v Speaker 1>think you've saw this? Do you feel like it's connected
<v Speaker 1>or you're just like a magnet for a strange activity.
<v Speaker 4>That's what I've been asking and pondering that question a lot.
<v Speaker 4>Some of the people I feel comfortable with that believe
<v Speaker 4>me or at least know that I'm being on, you know,
<v Speaker 4>trying to be honest about everything I feel like I've experienced.
<v Speaker 3>You know, if they don't believe me and.
<v Speaker 4>They're kind of like I've asked them, I was like, Hey,
<v Speaker 4>am I crazy? Or are certain people magnets for it,
<v Speaker 4>or just more people vocal about it, And he kind
<v Speaker 4>of tended to lean to the side that happens to
<v Speaker 4>more people they just don't talk about it. But I've
<v Speaker 4>also had a couple others that they think is just
<v Speaker 4>some people are more open to it, or they're they're
<v Speaker 4>drawn to the unseen world or can see it more sometimes,
<v Speaker 4>or something.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I just it does seem weird though, for sure,
<v Speaker 4>and it's you know, kind of had me worried a
<v Speaker 4>few times about like why am I seeing all this stuff?
<v Speaker 4>And then how crazy does it make you look when
<v Speaker 4>you try to tell people about it, because then they're like, oh,
<v Speaker 4>but didn't you think you got right out that was
<v Speaker 4>by a big foot too, you know, and you've seen
<v Speaker 4>a ghost and you know, and you this and that,
<v Speaker 4>and it's like, well, I'm just I don't I don't
<v Speaker 4>tell this stuff to get ridiculed, you know what I mean.
<v Speaker 4>I tell it because it's the truth and something I experienced,
<v Speaker 4>and I try to go to the most rational explanation possible.
<v Speaker 4>I try to bury it and rationalize it the best
<v Speaker 4>I can, you know, before I finally declare that yes,
<v Speaker 4>that's what I saw, you know, and I try to
<v Speaker 4>ask opinions of others, what do you tend to think
<v Speaker 4>on that?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I feel like it's definitely connected or some people
<v Speaker 1>are just magnets for strange activity. And it's certainly a
<v Speaker 1>difficult thing because you tell yourself, I'm not going to
<v Speaker 1>tell anyone that doesn't help, and then when you do
<v Speaker 1>open up and you start talking to people, that doesn't
<v Speaker 1>seem to help either. Of course, you do find people
<v Speaker 1>that are open minded, but for the most part, you know,
<v Speaker 1>you get the whole How many bigfoots do you see today?
<v Speaker 1>You know? Why have you seen ghosts? Bigfoot and all this?
<v Speaker 1>And I've never seen anything, you know, And they just
<v Speaker 1>right they got the eyebrow raised, looking at you.
<v Speaker 4>Like, yeah, it's that condescending smirk. I just wanted to
<v Speaker 4>be like, man, you know, you know, as they're like
<v Speaker 4>trying to tell me what it probably was that night
<v Speaker 4>out in the woods.
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, I just want to say, if it was you,
<v Speaker 3>you'd have been shipping your pants just like I was.
<v Speaker 4>Buddy, I guarantee it. There ain't ain't no two ways
<v Speaker 4>about it. I don't know anybody that brave, and I
<v Speaker 4>know there's some brave people, a lot braver than me.
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it's yeah, it's weird.
<v Speaker 4>And I've tried to connect those dots myself many times
<v Speaker 4>too as to like why am I a magnet or
<v Speaker 4>And I think it may be like a like a
<v Speaker 4>familial thing though, too, because I got quite a few
<v Speaker 4>of my family that have had experiences not as wide
<v Speaker 4>ranging as mine, but they've all had seen stuff in
<v Speaker 4>the sky, had ghosts experiences, and we're a pretty open family,
<v Speaker 4>and you know, we believe in God and stuff, and.
<v Speaker 3>We're opening our spirituality and everything too, So I don't know,
<v Speaker 3>maybe that has something to do with it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, And you're not alone because I wonder all
<v Speaker 1>the time, like, man, why have I had so many
<v Speaker 1>bigfoot encounters and experiences? And like why have I seen
<v Speaker 1>so many paranormal things in my life?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but I'm not the only one. I mean, I
<v Speaker 4>hope all people like us can get closure or you know,
<v Speaker 4>be at.
<v Speaker 3>Peace with it. And that's what I'm trying to find
<v Speaker 3>and what you're helping me do.
<v Speaker 2>And I appreciate it, you know.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, And that's the reason why I talk about
<v Speaker 1>it on the channel and allow people to share other experiences,
<v Speaker 1>even if it's not connected with Bigfoot, because I feel
<v Speaker 1>like personally, like, Okay, I've had all these experiences with
<v Speaker 1>the Sasquatch and then I've had all these other paranormal experiences.
<v Speaker 1>That's just not normal, Like it's got to be connected.
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, maybe it's not. But I've
<v Speaker 1>experienced rare things. Maybe some people just you know, hit
<v Speaker 1>the lottery more than once, or we talked about it
<v Speaker 1>last time, that maybe it's a blessing or maybe it's
<v Speaker 1>a curse.
<v Speaker 3>True, Yeah, get view both ways.
<v Speaker 1>No, Yeah, absolutely. I mean when you experience something like this,
<v Speaker 1>you're like, dang, that's cool. I got to experience something
<v Speaker 1>that most people don't. But then you have to live
<v Speaker 1>with it, and you're like, oh, that kind of sucks.
<v Speaker 3>You know.
<v Speaker 1>People don't believe me. I don't have any answers for it.
<v Speaker 1>Nobody really knows what's going on, so it goes back
<v Speaker 1>and forth.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean I always kind of likened it too
<v Speaker 4>to like whenever I kind of found my way back
<v Speaker 4>into God's presence, you know, because he never leaves, it's
<v Speaker 4>always us to walk away. And I remember when I
<v Speaker 4>got my way back in there.
<v Speaker 3>How anxious. I was to kind of like kind of
<v Speaker 3>tell people, you know, about the.
<v Speaker 4>Experience and stuff like that, and I found myself just
<v Speaker 4>trying to draw me because it was so special and
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to know about it. I think it's kind
<v Speaker 4>of similar in these events. It's like I want them
<v Speaker 4>to know that, like, hey, there is something in the
<v Speaker 4>woods that.
<v Speaker 3>Can be quite scary.
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I know some people have great experiences with
<v Speaker 4>the mine was not that that way, but you know,
<v Speaker 4>or there.
<v Speaker 3>Are ghosts and maybe believe your eyes.
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes I don't think we tend to believe our eyes,
<v Speaker 4>you know, what we're really saying. We just and I've
<v Speaker 4>been guilty of that too, like nope, that's I'm not
<v Speaker 4>seeing what I'm seeing.
<v Speaker 3>You know. I try to push it out, but.
<v Speaker 2>Then it comes.
<v Speaker 4>It just comes back to what I know is true
<v Speaker 4>and what I saw and just admit it and deal
<v Speaker 4>with it.
<v Speaker 3>You know.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure, a lot of times when this stuff
<v Speaker 1>is happening, it almost doesn't feel real, like you have
<v Speaker 1>to convince yourself that that's actually happening.
<v Speaker 4>And even afterwards, Yeah, yeah, it's almost like out of body.
<v Speaker 4>You're like you're out of your body for a second
<v Speaker 4>or not like a dream like state. It's or at
<v Speaker 4>least that's the way it's been for me, So the
<v Speaker 4>way I would describe it sometimes, oh yeah, like the
<v Speaker 4>way times slowed down while you're walking through those woods.
<v Speaker 4>It's almost like I had an inkland something's going to happen.
<v Speaker 4>But I thought, na, Quinn's just because you're not feeling
<v Speaker 4>the best, you know, And then when that happened, I
<v Speaker 4>was like, well, damn, that explains that.
<v Speaker 3>And then we still chuckle about my nephew's reaction.
<v Speaker 4>Like sometimes we'll be packing up to go someplace or
<v Speaker 4>go someplace together and his mom my sister will be like,
<v Speaker 4>I didn't think he was going to hang out with
<v Speaker 4>uncle Quinton anymore, you know.
<v Speaker 3>But we had a lot of fun.
<v Speaker 4>He's a good dude, and he's had some of his
<v Speaker 4>own experiences since then.
<v Speaker 3>He's run into a good young man. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, I feel like you'll have more experiences throughout your
<v Speaker 1>life and you'll just have to be ready for it.
<v Speaker 4>This was just I'll try to be quick with a
<v Speaker 4>ton of details, but no, no, you're fine. It happened
<v Speaker 4>on the December twenty first, twenty twenty. I believe it
<v Speaker 4>was the day it was the first time that the
<v Speaker 4>Star Bethlehem was going to be visible in like eight
<v Speaker 4>hundred years or something like that, and it was kind
<v Speaker 4>of excited about because we had a lot of stuff
<v Speaker 4>going on in the family at the time. My dad
<v Speaker 4>had just been diagnosed with cancer and was going had
<v Speaker 4>just started treatments, and my grandfather I bought the house
<v Speaker 4>off of was he had Alzheimer's and we were keeping
<v Speaker 4>him out of nursing home tak care of him and
<v Speaker 4>dad and I had an aunt it was in and
<v Speaker 4>out of a nursing home who's you know, I was
<v Speaker 4>very close to. And it was just a multitude of
<v Speaker 4>things going on. So we were looking for something kind of.
<v Speaker 2>Uplifting to do together and we thought, you know, that
<v Speaker 2>would be.
<v Speaker 3>Pretty neat, and so we kind.
<v Speaker 4>Of piled into vehicles and had like a caravan about
<v Speaker 4>six or seven vehicles that we had a big family with,
<v Speaker 4>you know, several of the adults and their kids, and
<v Speaker 4>we load went out to the country in the same
<v Speaker 4>general area where our land is to escape the city
<v Speaker 4>lights so we could view it. And so we were
<v Speaker 4>out there and things were going good and having good conversation,
<v Speaker 4>just enjoying what we were seeing in the.
<v Speaker 3>Sky that wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was beautiful.
<v Speaker 4>And as it kind of wore on, it was kind
<v Speaker 4>of chilly obviously around that time here in Illinois, but
<v Speaker 4>people just kind of started phasing out, you know. Kids
<v Speaker 4>were getting anxious and they wanted to get them home
<v Speaker 4>and get them to bed in some cases.
<v Speaker 3>And Dad was tired. And my brother in law, who
<v Speaker 3>I referred.
<v Speaker 4>To on a lot of things, he had these bathroom
<v Speaker 4>really bad he I found out later he knew something
<v Speaker 4>was going to happen from some of his research that
<v Speaker 4>he had been doing.
<v Speaker 2>That he didn't tell me.
<v Speaker 3>He was just waiting for it to happen, I guess.
<v Speaker 4>But anyway, I was standing out there and it had
<v Speaker 4>come down to just me and my same nephew, Zach,
<v Speaker 4>and we were his wife and three kids, and we
<v Speaker 4>were standing out there and I kind of turned my
<v Speaker 4>attention to the east because we've been watching it from
<v Speaker 4>the west and where we were positioned, and I seen
<v Speaker 4>this star that was just brighter than any of the
<v Speaker 4>stars in the sky at the moment, and I was
<v Speaker 4>just like, wow, that is extremely bright. And I was
<v Speaker 4>pointing at it, and we were.
<v Speaker 3>Looking at it and talking about it, and about the
<v Speaker 3>time all of our attention.
<v Speaker 4>Got on it, it was almost as if that bright
<v Speaker 4>light it stayed there. But it's almost like it was
<v Speaker 4>like giving birth the lights in about every three to
<v Speaker 4>four seconds, a new light just like it was coming
<v Speaker 4>out befull in the sky or something, and it was
<v Speaker 4>just like blink, blink, blink, all like coming out of
<v Speaker 4>this one bright star that looked us like.
<v Speaker 3>And we were just in awe, you know, We're like,
<v Speaker 3>what is that? Wasn't the heck?
<v Speaker 4>And I mean it was the perfect same brightness from
<v Speaker 4>where it was birth, the foll that was coming out of,
<v Speaker 4>perfectly leveled, perfectly distanced apart. I've researched since then, you know,
<v Speaker 4>because a lot of people immediately go to starlink. And
<v Speaker 4>I have seen starlink with my own two eyes and
<v Speaker 4>went over my niece's wedding that we had out there
<v Speaker 4>on the property, and I watched many videos on and
<v Speaker 4>this was way too high and way too perfect, and
<v Speaker 4>way too many lights for it have been starlink. Because
<v Speaker 4>we were such all we didn't count in the beginning.
<v Speaker 2>How many had went out.
<v Speaker 3>And I kind of remember asking Zach and Whitney and say, hey,
<v Speaker 3>how many think guys went by?
<v Speaker 4>And they throughout their number and I started counting, and
<v Speaker 4>by the time we were done, we estimated there's probably
<v Speaker 4>close to one hundred lights, you know, eighty to one
<v Speaker 4>hundred lights that went by.
<v Speaker 3>And is as far as.
<v Speaker 2>The eye could see.
<v Speaker 3>And it was hard to count because.
<v Speaker 4>The kids started kind of freaking out when they kind
<v Speaker 4>of realized what the adults were really talking about, and
<v Speaker 4>they were like, oh, my god, is it Is it
<v Speaker 4>an alien invasion? And we're gonna die, and kind of
<v Speaker 4>freaking out. And we watched it in its entirety until
<v Speaker 4>the lights quit coming out of that fold and until
<v Speaker 4>they disappeared, you know, off in the horizon. So many
<v Speaker 4>of them we had to turn our you know, turned
<v Speaker 4>completely just to see where they were going. It was
<v Speaker 4>pretty amazing. And it was about a couple of years later.
<v Speaker 4>I was talking to a friend who was telling me
<v Speaker 4>about something. He was very reluctant in the beginning. We
<v Speaker 4>somehow we started talking about drones and UFOs and stuff,
<v Speaker 4>and it led into him, hesitant, hesitantly telling me that
<v Speaker 4>he had seen something and he started describing exactly what
<v Speaker 4>I just told you, and I let him go for
<v Speaker 4>a little bit and then I said, hey, let me,
<v Speaker 4>let me let me guess is that this, this, and.
<v Speaker 2>This, And I kind of finished it and he.
<v Speaker 3>Was shocked and he's like, well, how the hell did
<v Speaker 3>you know?
<v Speaker 2>Do you see it that night?
<v Speaker 3>You?
<v Speaker 4>I said no, I said I seen it two years earlier,
<v Speaker 4>same thing. And he's like, well, I can tell you
<v Speaker 4>it wasn't starlink. It was It couldn't have been man
<v Speaker 4>made if it was one structure. It was massive because
<v Speaker 4>it was just too perfect. And he was willing to
<v Speaker 4>talk about it and tell people, and his brother was
<v Speaker 4>there with him, and his brother since passed away, but
<v Speaker 4>he told me. I said, well, what did him think
<v Speaker 4>about it? And he said, Jens, as soon as it
<v Speaker 4>was done. I looked at him. He said, if you're
<v Speaker 4>tell anybody about this, I'm going to deny it. So
<v Speaker 4>that kind of opened me up, opened my mind up
<v Speaker 4>a little bit to how some people, you know, view it,
<v Speaker 4>and maybe we'll bury it kind of like my buddy said,
<v Speaker 4>there's probably a lot of people that experienced stuff like that,
<v Speaker 4>but it freaks them out, or they don't know how
<v Speaker 4>to process it, or it messes with the reality to
<v Speaker 4>the point where they just wanted to go away. So
<v Speaker 4>I just thought the reaction, the stark differences in the
<v Speaker 4>way they reacted was intriguing to me. You know, the
<v Speaker 4>one was willing to talk about it and I want
<v Speaker 4>to know if anybody else had seen.
<v Speaker 3>Something like it, and then the other one just wanted
<v Speaker 3>it to go away, so to speak.
<v Speaker 1>No, Yeah, I definitely know what you're talking about. I've
<v Speaker 1>seen the same thing in the past several times actually,
<v Speaker 1>and I was telling you about it last time that
<v Speaker 1>I was out there doing bigfoot research with my friend Bill,
<v Speaker 1>who was having bigfoot activity in the Mark Twain Forrest,
<v Speaker 1>and we were sitting there time and we were just
<v Speaker 1>talking about bigfoot and I was like, Bill, I got
<v Speaker 1>something to tell you. He's like, what is it. I
<v Speaker 1>was like, I've been seeing a lot of UFOs, like
<v Speaker 1>a strange amount of UFOs. And right then, like we
<v Speaker 1>look up and we just see like, I don't know,
<v Speaker 1>it had been hundreds of stars and they were all
<v Speaker 1>like I don't know, like chained together. It was not starlink,
<v Speaker 1>and it seemed like they were coming out of nowhere
<v Speaker 1>and going into nowhere, and it was just like a
<v Speaker 1>huge amount of them. And he was just we were
<v Speaker 1>both blown away. I tried to film it with my camera.
<v Speaker 1>He's looking up. It was just like this strange moment
<v Speaker 1>and time. But yeah, I definitely know what you're talking about.
<v Speaker 3>Isn't that strange too.
<v Speaker 4>It's like about the time you were talking about it,
<v Speaker 4>or as soon as we took notice of the bright
<v Speaker 4>star that had happened, almost like it wanted to be
<v Speaker 4>viewed or something. That's that's crazy.
<v Speaker 1>I think it was like I think it was like
<v Speaker 1>two years ago in the wintertime. When did this happened
<v Speaker 1>to you?
<v Speaker 4>Mine was December twenty first, twenty twenty, I'd say exactly
<v Speaker 4>when it was mine. The guy Bill that saw his
<v Speaker 4>it was in the winter too. I want to say
<v Speaker 4>his was in or late fall. It might have been
<v Speaker 4>his might have been in November of twenty twenty three
<v Speaker 4>when he saw it. Yeah, but I can but I
<v Speaker 4>can remember when the starlink went over my niece's wedding
<v Speaker 4>because it was like kind of like an outdoor event
<v Speaker 4>when they had theirs, and I mean that he was
<v Speaker 4>like literally almost jogging to me.
<v Speaker 3>He's like quintin He's like pointing up.
<v Speaker 4>But then I could see like the air go out
<v Speaker 4>of the sails because I looked up and knew immediately.
<v Speaker 4>But upon first glance, he was hoping it was the
<v Speaker 4>same thing, but then he realized it's too low, you know,
<v Speaker 4>not near perfection like what we saw that one night.
<v Speaker 4>You know, the distance was different and everything still was
<v Speaker 4>neat to see.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it is cool to see the first time
<v Speaker 1>I witnessed a I called my brother and he lives
<v Speaker 1>like five minutes in town. I was like, go outside
<v Speaker 1>and look to the south, and he looked, and you
<v Speaker 1>can hear he's telling his friends to come outside and
<v Speaker 1>he's blown away. And then later on he's just like
<v Speaker 1>it was just starlink. He's like, dude, that was not starlink,
<v Speaker 1>Like I've seen starlink before, but this was different. This,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. This was just strange.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, absolutely, And I wish I could remember so I
<v Speaker 4>could tell him what my brother in law said.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean he literally like when I was telling
<v Speaker 2>him about it, he's like, damn it.
<v Speaker 3>He's like I had to poop.
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't hold it. And he's like, I knew something
<v Speaker 2>was going.
<v Speaker 4>To happen, and he said, dide, it look like it
<v Speaker 4>was coming.
<v Speaker 3>Out of a folding the sky. So before I get
<v Speaker 3>finished it, you.
<v Speaker 2>Know, I just started telling the story.
<v Speaker 3>I said, yeah I did.
<v Speaker 2>I was like, how the hell do you know that
<v Speaker 2>if you didn't see it?
<v Speaker 3>And He's like, they said that some dimension or something
<v Speaker 3>was open.
<v Speaker 4>Like I said, he really researches this stuff a lot
<v Speaker 4>and has got some pretty neat opinions and has been right.
<v Speaker 3>On quite a few occasions.
<v Speaker 1>No, yeah, it is neat. I've had so many people
<v Speaker 1>tell me they're just satellites or starlink that I started
<v Speaker 1>believing it until one day I seen this triangle spaceship
<v Speaker 1>just over my house. I mean it was huge, and
<v Speaker 1>then I was like, nope, nope, I knew it. I've
<v Speaker 1>been seeing strange things because one time there was this
<v Speaker 1>huge star that came out of the woods and it
<v Speaker 1>was just floating above the trees, and then it floated
<v Speaker 1>up and then like this actually happened several times, but
<v Speaker 1>one of the times it was floating into the sky
<v Speaker 1>and it was like way up there, and then it
<v Speaker 1>splitted and it split like into two and it looked
<v Speaker 1>like sparklers, like the fireworks, and they like streaked across
<v Speaker 1>the sky in opposite directions. It's just wild that one
<v Speaker 1>light or objects split into two and then went super
<v Speaker 1>fast in opposite directions, Like that is not a satellite.
<v Speaker 3>No, that's insane.
<v Speaker 2>M that would be neat to see.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was, and it doesn't happen anymore. But every
<v Speaker 1>now and then I'll see something strange that I'm like,
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's satellite, Maybe it's those things that are back.
<v Speaker 1>But whatever was going on at that point in time
<v Speaker 1>was definitely strange. And it's in the same area where
<v Speaker 1>I've had my Bigfoot encounters. Is it connected? Maybe not,
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it is, but I just think there's a connection
<v Speaker 1>because it's like, Okay, there's a lot of strange things
<v Speaker 1>happening here.
<v Speaker 3>It's not just big for That's kind of the way
<v Speaker 3>I've been feeling.
<v Speaker 4>It's like my location for most of that stuff that
<v Speaker 4>I just I've been talking with you about is in
<v Speaker 4>the same general area. It's like too much high strangeness
<v Speaker 4>for one area, you know what I mean. There's just
<v Speaker 4>something gotta be something to it.
<v Speaker 2>But what it is I don't know.
<v Speaker 4>But I just made me hungry to kind of go
<v Speaker 4>investigate more and stuff.
<v Speaker 3>And after I talked to.
<v Speaker 4>You on my last one, I I literally when I
<v Speaker 4>was texting you later, I'd been in the woods and
<v Speaker 4>I was wanting to get some pictures of some of
<v Speaker 4>the stuff I was telling you about that I'm where
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know before that you know, this might be
<v Speaker 4>signs of a big foot in the area, the broken
<v Speaker 4>trees and the way the lens can be positioned, and
<v Speaker 4>the arches that could be made out of, you know, small.
<v Speaker 3>Trees and stuff.
<v Speaker 4>And it was weird though, because I walked down there
<v Speaker 4>and and it might be because I was watching a
<v Speaker 4>lot of stuff and overthinking it, but I felt like
<v Speaker 4>aired immediately, and I don't usually feel like me. I'm
<v Speaker 4>mushroom hunted all this spring, and I've been out there
<v Speaker 4>a lot this year, but I felt immediately kind of
<v Speaker 4>scared when I got out there, and I don't know
<v Speaker 4>if I was overthinking it or what. And I made
<v Speaker 4>it around the bend around the corner from where we
<v Speaker 4>were shooting that one time, and made it about I
<v Speaker 4>don't know, fifty seventy five yards and I heard something
<v Speaker 4>and got excited because I've seen something brown stand over there,
<v Speaker 4>and it was just this giant deer that was just
<v Speaker 4>staring at me, and it let me walk towards it
<v Speaker 4>for a while. I just thought that was weird, but
<v Speaker 4>the overall feeling of fear that I had, for some reason,
<v Speaker 4>thought now, I'm going to come back later. So and
<v Speaker 4>the foliage is up obviously around this time of year,
<v Speaker 4>it's really thick back there, like it was whenever I
<v Speaker 4>had that encounter, and I thought I might just wait
<v Speaker 4>until it's a little thinner, or I got somebody else
<v Speaker 4>with me or something, or I'm just in a better,
<v Speaker 4>you know, frame of mind. I think I might have
<v Speaker 4>been overthinking, but and you never.
<v Speaker 1>Know, Yeah, you never know. I like to think of
<v Speaker 1>this the skin Walker Ranch like a lot of activity
<v Speaker 1>kind of mirrors what happened there, and they're having like
<v Speaker 1>paranormal experiences, cryptive creatures showing up and strange lights and
<v Speaker 1>crafts floating over the ranch. I think it's the same.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I think it could be right. My you know,
<v Speaker 4>I haven't watched that show.
<v Speaker 3>I need to. My brother keeps telling me he loves
<v Speaker 3>that show, the that I should watch it and stuff.
<v Speaker 3>I did have a I've had a.
<v Speaker 4>Lot of videos that I've lost on my other phone,
<v Speaker 4>and I do have one, and there might be nothing cold.
<v Speaker 4>I'm trying to examine it more. For I even showed
<v Speaker 4>too many people. But I was viewing an owl when
<v Speaker 4>I was out there. Musta might not too long ago.
<v Speaker 4>It was one of those deals where I didn't realize
<v Speaker 4>until later. I was videotaping it because it was so
<v Speaker 4>big and it was just right. There was me sitting
<v Speaker 4>there all quiet, and I videotaped it for a little whie.
<v Speaker 4>She got this little snippet, and I didn't realize it
<v Speaker 4>till later as I was watching it that down on
<v Speaker 4>the ground is up on a branch, maybe thirty feet
<v Speaker 4>up in the air, and there was like no limbs
<v Speaker 4>or anything moving, and then all of a sudden, about
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, eight to ten feet for some reason,
<v Speaker 4>some branches moved for no reason on their own, like
<v Speaker 4>nothing else is everything still as can be, And it
<v Speaker 4>almost like something invisible walk by it or something and
<v Speaker 4>moved a.
<v Speaker 2>Couple of them. And there might be a.
<v Speaker 3>Perfectly good explanation for it, but we were looking at it.
<v Speaker 4>I was just showing it to people and they're like,
<v Speaker 4>you know, me and my brother and were like, oh shit,
<v Speaker 4>look at the lens movement.
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that was, you know something, Maybe.
<v Speaker 4>They were cloaked and that's why, because Out was just
<v Speaker 4>fixated on some and maybe it was just his next meal,
<v Speaker 4>but it was still wouldn't move even with me that
<v Speaker 4>close to it.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that is some high strangeness. And I actually
<v Speaker 1>interviewed a guy from he was from Hayward, Wisconsin the
<v Speaker 1>other day, and he was talking about that, like all
<v Speaker 1>the reads on shore like started bending over, and he
<v Speaker 1>said he saw like a giant black hole like a portal,
<v Speaker 1>and he was with another guy that saw it too. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's that same thing where just like the brush starts
<v Speaker 1>moving on its own.
<v Speaker 3>Mh.
<v Speaker 4>This was just real quick. You just see a couple
<v Speaker 4>of limbs of the move, just like something just walk by.
<v Speaker 3>Just kind of strain. I mean I could send it
<v Speaker 3>to you and you could look at it, but I.
<v Speaker 2>Mean I don't know what to make.
<v Speaker 3>Of it, and the videos uh so short. It's hard
<v Speaker 3>to tell.
<v Speaker 4>I wish I would have kept the longer version of
<v Speaker 4>it because I I think I trimmed it for some
<v Speaker 4>reason because my phone was having trouble downloading it or something.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Absolutely, because eventually it ends up taking off.
<v Speaker 4>But it's almost like it was just super steel and
<v Speaker 4>you know, yeah, Out during the broad daylight and everything.
<v Speaker 4>There's just there's just.
<v Speaker 3>Tons of eye activity in those woods.
<v Speaker 4>I mean I'm always hearing them, and then I see
<v Speaker 4>some from time to time, and you gets you thinking
<v Speaker 4>about the shape shift and aspect of things too, like,
<v Speaker 4>you know, if they can do that, well, if it's
<v Speaker 4>you know, disguises that deer that was viewing me and
<v Speaker 4>I was feeling when I was feeling scared or was
<v Speaker 4>that all or something?
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it makes you wonder, that's for sure.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it does.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, do you have anything else that you'd like to share?
<v Speaker 3>No, I mean nothing, No.
<v Speaker 4>I mean I've had other little things, but there's nothing
<v Speaker 4>that I would feel so strongly about to talk about.
<v Speaker 3>You know.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Yeah, that's fair enough. And I do appreciate you
<v Speaker 1>for taking the time today to speak with me about
<v Speaker 1>these experiences. And I feel like it was important to
<v Speaker 1>add that to the podcast because I keep hearing that
<v Speaker 1>from other people and it's like, whoa, whoa, this is
<v Speaker 1>this is important stuff here.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Well, I thought that was kind of cool and
<v Speaker 4>interesting that you way as we talked after we were
<v Speaker 4>done and you asked me that, and then I start
<v Speaker 4>telling them and you want to kind of continue it,
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, Okay, that's that's cool because I
<v Speaker 4>didn't get to tell those those much either.
<v Speaker 3>And I appreciate you getting me the opportunity to do it. Man.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, and yeah, just thank you. I appreciate it.
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, I haven't been getting too many calls lately,
<v Speaker 1>so it definitely helps out the channel.
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'm gonna be doing more investigating the more I,
<v Speaker 4>you know, examined the subject and learn from guys like
<v Speaker 4>you that know more than me. And if I come
<v Speaker 4>across anything or anything cool, I will be sure to contact.
<v Speaker 3>You and discuss it with you. Send it your way
<v Speaker 3>so you can see what you think.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, absolutely, and keep it in mind that maybe
<v Speaker 1>we can meet up in the future and we can
<v Speaker 1>do something.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Oh yeah, I forgot. I never did finish up
<v Speaker 3>because we got cut off.
<v Speaker 2>Jim.
<v Speaker 4>I haven't had a chance to talk to him where
<v Speaker 4>he was. He was telling me how his wife had
<v Speaker 4>was sure that there was ape like creatures she had
<v Speaker 4>heard that. I thought that maybe she had said that
<v Speaker 4>she had saw one, but now that I'm rethinking, and
<v Speaker 4>she might have just said that she knew family members
<v Speaker 4>that had swore.
<v Speaker 3>That and that was when I laid.
<v Speaker 4>My story on him after he opened because we weren't
<v Speaker 4>even talking about.
<v Speaker 2>The subject, and he kind of opened the.
<v Speaker 4>Door, and I was like, well, let me tell you
<v Speaker 4>the story, Jim, And you know, I watched his whole
<v Speaker 4>face drop and everything as I told him.
<v Speaker 3>I said, your wife or whoever.
<v Speaker 4>Told her that might be honest them, because something chased
<v Speaker 4>me the hell out of the woods and all that.
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, but.
<v Speaker 3>I won't keep you. I'll let you get back to
<v Speaker 3>what you're doing and get it back to work or whatever.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I just got one more phone call. I'm sure
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be a few hours, but it is
<v Speaker 1>what it is, right, all right, man. Well you enjoy
<v Speaker 1>your weekend, and it was a pleasure speaking with you.
<v Speaker 1>If you run into anything else in the future, definitely
<v Speaker 1>keeping contact. If for some reason my number changes, like
<v Speaker 1>way in the future something, just email me. If you
<v Speaker 1>don't hear back, Okay.
<v Speaker 3>Sure we'll do bud.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well you take care man, and you'd be safe.
<v Speaker 3>All right, Yeah, all right, I'll see.
<v Speaker 1>But Quentin's experience as a reminder that even the quiet
<v Speaker 1>forest of Illinois can hold something unexplained, whether it was
<v Speaker 1>reacting to their presence or something deeper tied to the
<v Speaker 1>land itself. One thing is clear, whatever was out there
<v Speaker 1>knew exactly where they were. This is definitely a classic
<v Speaker 1>Bigfoot activity. They were out there target practicing and it
<v Speaker 1>upset these creatures. The thing, I believe bluff charged them.
<v Speaker 1>It was breaking trees, branches, huffing, grunting, growling, and it
<v Speaker 1>sounds like there were multiple creatures because he said it
<v Speaker 1>seems like it would switch position, So the thing was
<v Speaker 1>either moving silently after it was being loud and would
<v Speaker 1>reposition itself, or there were multiple creatures in the area.
<v Speaker 1>I've wondered that myself when I would go out target practicing,
<v Speaker 1>and maybe it's possible that I accidentally hit one of
<v Speaker 1>these things. You never know, maybe Quintin accidentally hit one
<v Speaker 1>of these creatures out in the woods and it upset
<v Speaker 1>them to the point of confrontation. What are your guys' thoughts.
<v Speaker 1>I think it was honestly just a loud sound, their
<v Speaker 1>presence in the woods. They were disrupting nature and whatever
<v Speaker 1>these things were up to. It also doesn't surprise me
<v Speaker 1>that Quinson experienced supernatural activity throughout his life. I hear
<v Speaker 1>that often with people who experience cryptid activity, and it's
<v Speaker 1>not something that you will see in traditional Bigfoot reports.
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of Bigfoot researchers will shy away
<v Speaker 1>from that. They don't want to hear about that. They
<v Speaker 1>just want to hear about Bigfoot. But I feel like
<v Speaker 1>it's important to share to gain a better understanding of
<v Speaker 1>what people have experienced in their life. If you disagree,
<v Speaker 1>let me know down in the comments and why. I'm
<v Speaker 1>not saying it's connected to Bigfoot activity, but I do
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's important to note that people who experience
<v Speaker 1>cryptids also experience other unexplained mysteries. If you made it
<v Speaker 1>this far in the podcast, definitely pat yourself on the back.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think a lot of people are listening anymore,
<v Speaker 1>and the people that do don't listen to the entire report.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, definitely pat yourself on the back because you
<v Speaker 1>have a long attention span and you have the patience
<v Speaker 1>to hear people out and better understand what people are
<v Speaker 1>experiencing and going through in their life. So thank you
<v Speaker 1>guys for making it this far. It really helped support
<v Speaker 1>the channel when you guys watch the videos, and yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I mean all this work that I do has a purpose,
<v Speaker 1>so you guys are part of that purpose and I
<v Speaker 1>just appreciate everyone's support. Anyways, until the next podcast or
<v Speaker 1>research video, you guys be safe out in the forest.
