A BIGFOOT EYE SIGHTING ENCOUNTER FROM ARKANSAS | CANCER DOCTOR ENCOUNTERS BIGFOOT BY THE MISSISSIPPI

<v Speaker 1>Hey everyone, and welcome to another Sasquatch Theory podcast. On
<v Speaker 1>this episode, we have Rusty from the state of Louisiana
<v Speaker 1>and he had a bigfoot is sighting encounter in the
<v Speaker 1>state of Arkansas. His bigfoot encounter happened right across the
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi River, not too far away from Memphis, Tennessee. So
<v Speaker 1>these things are all over the Mississippi River and they
<v Speaker 1>are following the waterways, and it really makes sense. A
<v Speaker 1>lot of the reports that I get on the channel,
<v Speaker 1>people always mention a certain waterway and being nearby, even
<v Speaker 1>if it's a small creek behind their property. I like
<v Speaker 1>to think of the Mississippi and the Missouri River like
<v Speaker 1>a huge interstate and all the creeks that connect to
<v Speaker 1>it are like state highways and county roads. If you
<v Speaker 1>have a bigfoot encounter that you would like to share
<v Speaker 1>with me here on the channel, please contact me sometime

<v Speaker 1>will really help me out with the research and being
<v Speaker 1>able to keep up with everything going on with the channel.
<v Speaker 1>With all that being said, let's dive straight into Rusty's
<v Speaker 1>Bigfoot encounter from the state of Arkansas. Rusty, Welcome, Sasquatch Theory.
<v Speaker 1>How are you doing today, sir.
<v Speaker 2>I'm good. Thank you very much for having me. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, it's a pleasure to have you on the show, Rusty.
<v Speaker 1>If you would tell me a little bit about yourself,
<v Speaker 1>where you're from, and your bigfoot encounters and experiences from
<v Speaker 1>the very beginning, please.
<v Speaker 2>Sure. I am a now retired cancer surgeon actually and
<v Speaker 2>grew up in the area of Memphis, Tennessee, and my
<v Speaker 2>encounter actually was in Arkansas, just across the Mississippi River
<v Speaker 2>from Memphis, although I've lived in the New Orleans, Louisiana
<v Speaker 2>for many years since in but this actually took place
<v Speaker 2>in eastern Arkansas, just across the river from Memphis. So
<v Speaker 2>the story is I was twenty or so years old
<v Speaker 2>at the time. This was the summer of nineteen eighty
<v Speaker 2>and if anybody who was there at the time, we
<v Speaker 2>recall that summer was one of the hottest on record
<v Speaker 2>in that area. In the Memphis, Tennessee area. We had
<v Speaker 2>something like thirty five days in a row with temperatures
<v Speaker 2>above one hundred degrees, which had never been recorded before.
<v Speaker 2>So I kind of set the stage. I was working
<v Speaker 2>that summer. I was in college, and that summer I
<v Speaker 2>was working as a lifeguard at a small lake in
<v Speaker 2>eastern Arkansas, just across the river from Mississippi. Our front
<v Speaker 2>across the Mississippi River from Memphis, about a forty minute
<v Speaker 2>drive from Memphis or so. And this was a small
<v Speaker 2>natural lake that was an old run of the Mississippi
<v Speaker 2>River where it changes its course and left the lake behind.
<v Speaker 2>People would swim or fish, or picnic or camp and
<v Speaker 2>that sort of thing, so it's a sort of little
<v Speaker 2>mini resort. Anyway, I worked as a lifeguard at the
<v Speaker 2>resort with another guy who was a buddy of mine
<v Speaker 2>from college, and we would be the light guards during
<v Speaker 2>the day and then in the evening when the swimmers left,
<v Speaker 2>we could pretty much do whatever we want. We frequently
<v Speaker 2>went fishing. We had a boat that we'd take out
<v Speaker 2>and go fishing on the lake from you know, whenever
<v Speaker 2>the fish oh got the swimmers left until we got
<v Speaker 2>too dark to city basically. So then this was actually
<v Speaker 2>one day in June, so that the days are very long.
<v Speaker 2>We went fishing as usual after we got off lifeguarding,
<v Speaker 2>and we got on in our boat, and we were
<v Speaker 2>had a trolling motor on the boat. So we're moving
<v Speaker 2>very slowly about ten yards or so out from the shore,
<v Speaker 2>moving parallel to the shore, trying to catch fish. And
<v Speaker 2>so everything was quiet until all of a sudden, at
<v Speaker 2>the bank opposite us, like I said, ten yards so
<v Speaker 2>away from us, we heard like this rustling or crunching
<v Speaker 2>in the bushes and the trees. And if you ever
<v Speaker 2>been around there, the undergrowth is very thick. It's almost
<v Speaker 2>like a jungle up and down there. And so we
<v Speaker 2>looked at the shore and suddenly we saw what appeared
<v Speaker 2>to be a very large hidden shoulders of something between
<v Speaker 2>a man and a gorilla. The face was, like I said,
<v Speaker 2>more I think more human like than gorilla like. It
<v Speaker 2>clearly wasn't exactly human. It was very big, although we
<v Speaker 2>could only really see it from about old chest up,
<v Speaker 2>I guess because of the underbrush. It was like standing
<v Speaker 2>behind the brush, so it peeked up and over the
<v Speaker 2>brush so we could see its head and shoulders and chest.
<v Speaker 2>It had dark brown to black fur over head, the shoulders,
<v Speaker 2>most of the chest. Didn't have hair on its face.
<v Speaker 2>Though it looked at us at that point, when it
<v Speaker 2>realized we were there, looked at us, and we looked
<v Speaker 2>at it for maybe ten seconds or so something like that.
<v Speaker 2>Seemed like a lot longer at the time, but about
<v Speaker 2>ten seconds or so, and we didn't say anything. It
<v Speaker 2>didn't make any sounds, at least vocal sounds, and then
<v Speaker 2>it turned and ran away up into the brush, and
<v Speaker 2>we heard it for another maybe twenty thirty seconds, running away,
<v Speaker 2>and never saw it again. We did not hear any
<v Speaker 2>thing we would call a vocalization from it, only the
<v Speaker 2>noise of it, you know, running away. We didn't smell
<v Speaker 2>anything at that point. He and I quickly left the
<v Speaker 2>area went back. We had a cabin like down further
<v Speaker 2>down the lake, so we quickly left there. In the
<v Speaker 2>boat went down the cabin, locked ourselves in the cabin,
<v Speaker 2>loaded all the guns because we didn't know exactly what
<v Speaker 2>to do, and we were we were pretty scared. Any rate,
<v Speaker 2>We did not hear or see anything else that evening
<v Speaker 2>or ever again after that at that location. The we
<v Speaker 2>we talked about it a lot in detail that day
<v Speaker 2>that night, uh, and later after that we decided just
<v Speaker 2>that we couldn't tell anybody because we thought, what are
<v Speaker 2>we going to say? You know, there's a monster running
<v Speaker 2>around the lake, you know, and we just didn't know
<v Speaker 2>how to pitch that, because I can guarantee what would
<v Speaker 2>have happened is the owners if we'd said something about this,
<v Speaker 2>is that all you've boys been drinking again, you saw
<v Speaker 2>a cow or this or who knows any right, So
<v Speaker 2>we just out just not to say anything about it
<v Speaker 2>again for many years. And there's that, and said he
<v Speaker 2>think about it many years until, like I said, many
<v Speaker 2>years later, the internet had come to be a thing,
<v Speaker 2>and just cruising around on the internet, I stumbled on
<v Speaker 2>the BFRO or Bigfoot Research Organization, and they had a
<v Speaker 2>website where you could actually submit your your sighting and
<v Speaker 2>put in a specific location on a map and I
<v Speaker 2>did that then and then started hearing from people who
<v Speaker 2>had who were interested in or wanted to talk about it,
<v Speaker 2>And that's kind of where we are today. That was
<v Speaker 2>probably fifteen years ago that I posted on BFRO, and
<v Speaker 2>I've talked to handful of people about it, including you. Unfortunately,
<v Speaker 2>the guy who was with me died probably fifteen forty
<v Speaker 2>years ago, so I'm the only one live who knows it.
<v Speaker 2>And that's that's really all the story, all.
<v Speaker 1>Right, Rusty. I really appreciate you for sharing that with me.
<v Speaker 1>And that sounds like an intense encounter. What do you
<v Speaker 1>think this creature was doing in that moment?
<v Speaker 2>You know, looking back on it, I think we probably
<v Speaker 2>surprised it as much as he surprised us. I think
<v Speaker 2>he or she was probably coming down the little like
<v Speaker 2>I said, it was so hot that year, coming down
<v Speaker 2>the lake to get water. Maybe you're jumping and cool off.
<v Speaker 2>Who knows, and was the only thing he or she
<v Speaker 2>was thinking about was I got to cool off somehow,
<v Speaker 2>So he wasn't thinking to look out into the water
<v Speaker 2>for two guys in a fishing boat slowly passing in
<v Speaker 2>front of him until we actually saw it. So that
<v Speaker 2>would be my guess.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, very well could be. Did the facial expression ever
<v Speaker 1>change on the creature.
<v Speaker 2>Not really. It looked at me us intently. It clearly
<v Speaker 2>saw us. It's we were a little all, you know,
<v Speaker 2>in a sense or looking shorty in each other's eyes.
<v Speaker 2>There really was not much change though, not like there
<v Speaker 2>was like surprise per se or Anything's like I said,
<v Speaker 2>it's just a stone face looking as seeing we were there.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that is interesting, and it makes me wonder what
<v Speaker 1>the creature was up to. Perhaps it was looking for food,
<v Speaker 1>maybe some fish, some frogs, or just doing its daily routine.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly. It might will have been looking for food,
<v Speaker 2>you know, as well as you know, wanting to get
<v Speaker 2>in the water. Who knows.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's probably the most obvious answer, that it was
<v Speaker 1>looking for water. And it does sound like these creatures
<v Speaker 1>follow the waterways. You always hear researchers say that that
<v Speaker 1>you will find sasquatch by the water, and in this
<v Speaker 1>case it's true.
<v Speaker 2>Seems like you know, we I have been watching ever since,
<v Speaker 2>and then there's been one or two other reports from
<v Speaker 2>that area over the past, you know, forty fifty years,
<v Speaker 2>so I don't think they're common there. I think maybe
<v Speaker 2>they just travel through for half. Maybe they go up
<v Speaker 2>and down the Mississippi River, because the river at least
<v Speaker 2>between certainly between Memphis and New Orleans is mostly forested.
<v Speaker 2>All you said, I mean there's breaks where there are
<v Speaker 2>cities at the river, but there's lots of delta in uh,
<v Speaker 2>you know, unforested delta territory property along either side of
<v Speaker 2>the river, so it could easily hide and move up
<v Speaker 2>and down. So they may maybe they use that as
<v Speaker 2>a way to it like a highway kind of or
<v Speaker 2>how to pass through without being noticed.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Absolutely, I would agree with that. There's a ton
<v Speaker 1>of bigfoot reports here in Missouri off the Mississippi River
<v Speaker 1>and on the Illinois side, and that's what I think
<v Speaker 1>they're doing. I think they're following the waterways, and there's
<v Speaker 1>many rivers that pour into the Mississippi, and then there's
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of creeks that connect to those rivers. So
<v Speaker 1>you just have like this giant web or system of
<v Speaker 1>what these creatures use to travel, if that makes sense.
<v Speaker 2>Sure, absolutely, I mean it's just the entire Mississippi Delta
<v Speaker 2>from top to bottom potentially as accessible by you know,
<v Speaker 2>the the rivers or Lake River. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, how large was this creature from arm to arm
<v Speaker 1>or shoulder to shoulder? Should I say?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? That That's always been the tricky thing because, like
<v Speaker 2>I said, I'm not really sure whether we saw it
<v Speaker 2>standing up, are kneeling or what, because, like I said,
<v Speaker 2>we didn't really see the feet or legs, so we
<v Speaker 2>can only make an estimate kind of from of the
<v Speaker 2>head and from the shoulders. The shoulders clearly were much
<v Speaker 2>larger than myself or my friend probably. You know, it's
<v Speaker 2>it's hard to estimate that. And I thought this many times.
<v Speaker 2>How big do I think it? How big are my shoulder?
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know how big across my shoulders are.
<v Speaker 2>I would say it was easily double the si the
<v Speaker 2>width of an average man's shoulders, and the head was
<v Speaker 2>proportionate to that. I couldn't really say that I saw
<v Speaker 2>much of a neck because the black hair was kind
<v Speaker 2>of dangling down, So it was even if he had one,
<v Speaker 2>he by not being able to see it because there's
<v Speaker 2>so much here in the way.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that makes sense. We'll just go with three feet plus.
<v Speaker 1>And it could have been bigger, it could have been smaller.
<v Speaker 1>Do you think this was an adult creature a juvenile
<v Speaker 1>what would you say it was?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was my guess that it was an adult.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that I can really point to much objective,
<v Speaker 2>you know, information to prove that other than just looking
<v Speaker 2>in the face. It was kind of wrinkled. It was
<v Speaker 2>kind of, like I said, kind of stone faced. It
<v Speaker 2>just struck me as an adult. Whether that's true or not,
<v Speaker 2>that was the impression I had.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that makes sense. And can you describe what the
<v Speaker 1>face looked like? Did it have like a conical shaped head,
<v Speaker 1>was it round like a football helmet? And what other
<v Speaker 1>details can I remember?
<v Speaker 2>Sure? You know the head was more round, kind of
<v Speaker 2>like a football helmet, you say in others, I did
<v Speaker 2>not see the kind of conical shape that some people
<v Speaker 2>report from from that are in you know, in gorillas,
<v Speaker 2>So which is why I say it's somewhere between. It
<v Speaker 2>looked like something between an ape and a man. But
<v Speaker 2>maybe you know, in some places it looked more like
<v Speaker 2>a man. Somebody's more like an ape. So like if
<v Speaker 2>you look at the the nose, for example, in the mouth,
<v Speaker 2>I would have said that was more like a gorilla
<v Speaker 2>or an ape had very would appeared to be grimacing
<v Speaker 2>type lips. If you can imagine rund memia where they
<v Speaker 2>can move their lips very aggressively, or they really didn't
<v Speaker 2>do that with me. It just kind of look that way.
<v Speaker 2>The nose was very broad and the nozrils were upflared
<v Speaker 2>like a ape would be. The eyes were pretty much
<v Speaker 2>proportional to the rest of the face, and were you know,
<v Speaker 2>there was nothing distinctive I guess about the eyes. They
<v Speaker 2>seemed dark. What else I said it was? The skin
<v Speaker 2>was dark itself, maybe not not not as dark as
<v Speaker 2>the hair, but kind of a dull gray black. And
<v Speaker 2>what else you know that that that's pretty much it. So,
<v Speaker 2>like I said, I guess this way to summarize it,
<v Speaker 2>it's somewhere between a eight some eight white teachers, but
<v Speaker 2>some human white teachers.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that makes sense. And what color did you say
<v Speaker 1>the creature was?
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think the skin, which you can only
<v Speaker 2>really see, at least I could only really see on
<v Speaker 2>the face, was sort of a dull gray to black,
<v Speaker 2>almost even maybe with a little silver tinge to it.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that gives me a better idea of what this
<v Speaker 1>creature looked like. How fast was this reach or whenever
<v Speaker 1>it took off?
<v Speaker 2>It was real quick turning around, you know, but it
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't have taken you know, more than a second and
<v Speaker 2>two even for a human because the brush is so
<v Speaker 2>thick there, you know, as soon as you're turn away,
<v Speaker 2>it was gone. I mean, we couldn't see it anymore.
<v Speaker 2>We could hear it, and you could hear it stamping
<v Speaker 2>through the brush and the trees and stuff. So we
<v Speaker 2>heard it for another like I said, twenty thirty seconds maybe,
<v Speaker 2>And you could tell this the legy ship was at
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of a levee, so you could hear it
<v Speaker 2>climbing back up the levee basically crashing through trees. And
<v Speaker 2>then by the time they got to the top of
<v Speaker 2>the levee and on the side of being we couldn't
<v Speaker 2>hear it anymore. So, like I said, maybe maybe thirty
<v Speaker 2>seconds to get to the top of the levee, which
<v Speaker 2>would be very quick for a human to crawl through
<v Speaker 2>that levee itself, being probably twenty ei feet high.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that sounds pretty quick. And you have a good
<v Speaker 1>point about this creature looking human like and like a gorilla,
<v Speaker 1>because whenever I had my encounter, I found I'm this
<v Speaker 1>photo on Pinterest that looked very similar to what I
<v Speaker 1>had seen, and I showed one of my friends from
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota and I said, man, I think this thing looks
<v Speaker 1>very primate, and he said, I disagree. I think it
<v Speaker 1>looks more human. So some people, from their perspective, they
<v Speaker 1>think it looks more human to where others think it
<v Speaker 1>looks more primate. So it's kind of hard to say.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, when you look at a primate, you can say, man,
<v Speaker 1>that thing looks so human.
<v Speaker 2>Sure, well, you got to imagine, you know, this thing.
<v Speaker 2>If you think like I do, that this is truly
<v Speaker 2>a biological or flesh and blood animal, then there has
<v Speaker 2>to be variation in you know, each creature, you know what.
<v Speaker 2>In other words, one creature doesn't look just like another creature,
<v Speaker 2>just like one human doesn't look like another, So you
<v Speaker 2>would expect, you know, there to be some degree of variation.
<v Speaker 2>There are probably some I would guess that look more
<v Speaker 2>purely ape like, and maybe some that look even more
<v Speaker 2>human like than what I saw. So you know that
<v Speaker 2>doesn't really I guess surprise me bothered me about it?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would agree with that. And you've gone through
<v Speaker 1>life and you've learned so much through your studies. You
<v Speaker 1>became a cancer surgeon, and how did this encounter change
<v Speaker 1>your perspective on how you perceive life?
<v Speaker 2>You know, I thought about that a lot at the time.
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, I was only twenty years old, and
<v Speaker 2>you know, at twenty most of us at least are
<v Speaker 2>like me, didn't think much about you know, the nature
<v Speaker 2>of life and things like that. We were mostly confused,
<v Speaker 2>scared college students. You know. It took longer for me
<v Speaker 2>to kind of put it in perspective. In other words,
<v Speaker 2>I didn't I didn't know what to think about it
<v Speaker 2>right then, and didn't just because we went back to
<v Speaker 2>school or you know, we didn't think about it anymore,
<v Speaker 2>so it was out of my mind. It took two
<v Speaker 2>years later, actually, probably when I started noticing stuff about
<v Speaker 2>it online, for me to really kind of re reevaluate
<v Speaker 2>that experience and try to get an idea of and
<v Speaker 2>I think of anything. I would say it made me
<v Speaker 2>more open to looking at are looking into things that
<v Speaker 2>might not really are. There are things we cannot prove.
<v Speaker 2>That's that's the best way to put it. So it
<v Speaker 2>made me more willing to at least, you know, hear
<v Speaker 2>the stories of listen to the stories of read the
<v Speaker 2>data of concepts or ideas or our experiences that we
<v Speaker 2>can't actually prove objectively, you know, and who knows, maybe
<v Speaker 2>somebody we will prove Bigfoot objectively and you know it
<v Speaker 2>will be ables's solve this and we don't have to
<v Speaker 2>do podcasts like this anymore, I guess. But I think
<v Speaker 2>basically that's it. It's that it made me more willing
<v Speaker 2>to look at subjects that are maybe not not fully
<v Speaker 2>accepted by mainstream science.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that makes sense to me. And when you learn
<v Speaker 1>or when you encounter a creature like this, you know
<v Speaker 1>that there's so much that we're not being told. And
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I guess this is kind of off topic,
<v Speaker 1>but I've heard that, you know, the powers that be
<v Speaker 1>have the the cure, the treatment for cancer, and they
<v Speaker 1>don't want to give it up because of money. Do
<v Speaker 1>you think that's true? Have you ever wondered that whenever
<v Speaker 1>you were doing any procedures on people that man, maybe
<v Speaker 1>they have the cure for this, but they don't want
<v Speaker 1>to tell ally.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I heard the same thing. I mean, you know,
<v Speaker 2>that's it's that that's there's lots of talk about that
<v Speaker 2>these days. And I don't think that's precisely true, But
<v Speaker 2>I don't let the powers that be off the hook
<v Speaker 2>that easily. Either. I'll tell you what I think is
<v Speaker 2>that the quote powers that be, and I think in
<v Speaker 2>terms of particularly in terms of cancer, the powers that be,
<v Speaker 2>honestly are the pharmaceutical companies because they currently are putting
<v Speaker 2>the vast amount, the vast majority of funding into cancer research,
<v Speaker 2>much more than for example, a national Cancer Institute or
<v Speaker 2>any other, uh you know, federal or nonprofit organization. So
<v Speaker 2>as a result, the drugs that they develop are going
<v Speaker 2>to pre The reason they're developing those drugs is not
<v Speaker 2>to cure cancer per se or even the help cancer.
<v Speaker 2>It's to make the pharmaceutical company money. And that's just
<v Speaker 2>the nature of the beasts. You know. The pharmaceutical companies
<v Speaker 2>are for profit businesses, capitalists society. Their number one goal
<v Speaker 2>to their shareholders are a responsibility to their shareholders is
<v Speaker 2>to make money. It's not to the general public to
<v Speaker 2>cure them of cancer. You know, that's what they give
<v Speaker 2>work lip service to doing, but that's not really what
<v Speaker 2>they're doing. Hopefully, you know, there's enough integrity among enough
<v Speaker 2>of us humans left on the planet that you know
<v Speaker 2>that that they won't sell out completely. But there's no
<v Speaker 2>doubt in their mind that the quote powers that be
<v Speaker 2>are less honest than they would like us to believe.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, absolutely. There's several times in my life where
<v Speaker 1>I've had to take medication for something and it never
<v Speaker 1>fixed the problem. It just put a band aid over it.
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, man, this thing has ten side effects.
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to fix one problem and I'm experiencing four
<v Speaker 1>or five other things? What do I do? And it
<v Speaker 1>does seem like it's just something that they have to
<v Speaker 1>make money, and it's sad. But yeah, I kind of
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you that the pharmaceutical companies are making
<v Speaker 1>money off of this. Corporations are making money, and I
<v Speaker 1>think that's the main answer to what's going on with
<v Speaker 1>all these hidden secrets, whether it's Bigfoot, UFOs, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>whatever it may be. I mean, I truly feel like
<v Speaker 1>if a scientist wanted to prove the paranormal, they could
<v Speaker 1>easily do it. But I think it's just something they
<v Speaker 1>can't control, and it's not something that you can have
<v Speaker 1>like this controlled experiment and it's going to happen. But
<v Speaker 1>I do believe that let's say you got five scientists
<v Speaker 1>to go into this controlled building and they played with
<v Speaker 1>Wuiji boards and did all this thing, like all these
<v Speaker 1>things and documented everything. I think they would have things happen,
<v Speaker 1>maybe not in that moment, but probably when they went
<v Speaker 1>home or throughout their life. And it's just like something
<v Speaker 1>you can't prove, but at the same time, I think
<v Speaker 1>it's possible.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know. I actually I've had a very similar
<v Speaker 2>discussion of that with doctor Jeff Meldrum. He may have
<v Speaker 2>heard of He's you know, he's all over the map
<v Speaker 2>on Bigfoot. He's actually a professor of anthropology at Heidaho
<v Speaker 2>State in Puncatel, a lot of it, and I went
<v Speaker 2>up there a couple of years ago and talked to
<v Speaker 2>him in his lay about various things, including obviously lots
<v Speaker 2>of Bigfoot related stuff, and I kind of answer him
<v Speaker 2>that question, you know, if you got it together or
<v Speaker 2>if you had enough funding, so if the UNCI or
<v Speaker 2>NIH or whoever took it seriously and really wanted to
<v Speaker 2>fund to fund Bigfoot research in the way that they
<v Speaker 2>do you know other things, do you think we can
<v Speaker 2>make a difference? And he was unsure to you know,
<v Speaker 2>to his credit, he did not say, oh, yeah, absolutely,
<v Speaker 2>we can do this. You know, he says it's it's
<v Speaker 2>a if it exists, it's a very elusive, relatively intelligent,
<v Speaker 2>and relatively uncommon animal. In other words, there's not that
<v Speaker 2>many of them. They know pretty well how to hide,
<v Speaker 2>and they hide in places that you know, humans don't
<v Speaker 2>really like to go that much. So could we find
<v Speaker 2>them if we put an infinite amount of money into it?
<v Speaker 2>He actually honestly answered, I don't know, and I don't either,
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think that's one of those great mysteries.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a great question. And I have a lot
<v Speaker 1>of respect for doctor Jeff Meldrum. And people say that
<v Speaker 1>Sasquatch isn't real, it's a bunch of bs, it's a
<v Speaker 1>fairy tale. But nobody has put in billions or even
<v Speaker 1>trillions of dollars to research this, And if they have,
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to know who it is, because from what
<v Speaker 1>I've seen, it's just regular researchers. Maybe there's like a
<v Speaker 1>TV crew that's put a lot of money into it,
<v Speaker 1>but they're still using the same equipment that let's say,
<v Speaker 1>you know what I would use as far as like
<v Speaker 1>audio recorders, thermal devices, night vision. But who has actually
<v Speaker 1>put in millions or billions of dollars into this, and
<v Speaker 1>maybe they used thermal satellites and military grade equipment. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know of anyone, but I'm sure the government has
<v Speaker 1>or secret projects.
<v Speaker 2>It's you know, coming up from the bottom money, it's
<v Speaker 2>not coming from above. In fact, doctor Meldrum told me
<v Speaker 2>something interesting along that line. So not only is it
<v Speaker 2>very difficult to get funded to do that kind of research.
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you're at a research in research in
<v Speaker 2>university as faculty, one of your big goals is to
<v Speaker 2>get funded. You know, you want to pay your way there.
<v Speaker 2>That that's what they you know, that's the way the
<v Speaker 2>whole system is based around. And it's been a real
<v Speaker 2>detriment to his career that there's no way for him
<v Speaker 2>to try to get funded because nobody wants to put it.
<v Speaker 2>There are no government agencies, there's no official nonprofits. There
<v Speaker 2>are very few official nonprofits that wants you fund that
<v Speaker 2>kind of research. So it's actually been a hardship for
<v Speaker 2>his career, which I thought was interesting.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, absolutely. Even if you're an artist, Let's say
<v Speaker 1>you have this awesome song and it's just you singing
<v Speaker 1>with your acoustic guitar, there's no way to get this
<v Speaker 1>label or go big without letting someone else control your
<v Speaker 1>music and completely change it from whatever style you had
<v Speaker 1>to like pop music, and they'll just completely butcher it
<v Speaker 1>and keep all the money. So it's like anything in
<v Speaker 1>this life. If you really want to go big with it,
<v Speaker 1>it's all going to be controlled.
<v Speaker 2>Seems that way sometimes.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it certainly does. You just have to do it
<v Speaker 1>on your own and believe that that it's pop possible.
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to get with doctor Jeff Meldrum and do
<v Speaker 1>some research. I always knew that if if I found
<v Speaker 1>Bigfoot tracks, I would send them in to Jeff Meldrum
<v Speaker 1>just to see what he has to say about it.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, no, I looked at many of the tracks
<v Speaker 2>in his collection. It was just fascinating. He unfortunately has
<v Speaker 2>recently had some health problems, so I'm not sure how
<v Speaker 2>much longer he's going to be doing this, So you know,
<v Speaker 2>keep in your prayers.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I absolutely will. This is another off the wall question.
<v Speaker 1>Do you think the sasquatch can get cancer?
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah, absolutely? What you know? Why not? I mean
<v Speaker 2>almost any umm alien species on the planet can get
<v Speaker 2>cancer of some kind, so why not?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would agree with that. What do you think
<v Speaker 1>is something that causes cancer the most.
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's a lot of exposures that for sure
<v Speaker 2>calls cancer, and it's the predictable ones, you know, tobacco exposure,
<v Speaker 2>sunlight exposure, you know, certain of the facts that we eat,
<v Speaker 2>are diet, and then even more important probably are genetics
<v Speaker 2>in others. What what you inherit from your parents that
<v Speaker 2>put you at risk for certain cancers? And it's typically
<v Speaker 2>most cancers are typically some combination of your inherited susceptibilities
<v Speaker 2>and the elements that you are in contact with are
<v Speaker 2>consumed or somehow get you know, get near you on
<v Speaker 2>a regular basis, and somehow that is that very complex
<v Speaker 2>interaction is what results of the cancer. Now, others you
<v Speaker 2>can be and we've proven this many times, say, are
<v Speaker 2>in tobacco smokers, not all of them are going to
<v Speaker 2>get lung cancer. Even some of the heaviest smokers for
<v Speaker 2>years and years decades will never get lung cancer. Well,
<v Speaker 2>why is that when others do? Well? You have to
<v Speaker 2>have the right combination of the right genetics that you
<v Speaker 2>were inherited to make you susceptible to tobacco smoke. Now,
<v Speaker 2>it's tobacco being one of the most parcinogenic things out
<v Speaker 2>there more people tend to have those susceptibilities than do
<v Speaker 2>most other things. But it's got to be some combination
<v Speaker 2>of what you're born with and what you've lived through.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree, there's probably a lot of factors to
<v Speaker 1>why people get cancer, whether it's too much sun exposure,
<v Speaker 1>nicotine stress, I don't know, eating food from a microwave
<v Speaker 1>too much, and like you said, genetics. I think possibly
<v Speaker 1>the sasquatch have less of a chance of getting cancer
<v Speaker 1>because they're eating natural food out in the forest as
<v Speaker 1>far as like deer, squirrels, whatever vegetation. They can get
<v Speaker 1>natural water, but it's hard to say because there's a
<v Speaker 1>lot of pollutinants out there as far as like streams.
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the fertilizers from farms drained into creeks
<v Speaker 1>and they drain into the rivers. So maybe they're getting cancer,
<v Speaker 1>and its possibility, you.
<v Speaker 2>Know, I'll tell you're right in the sense I think
<v Speaker 2>that says quash probably get fewer click cancers than humans do,
<v Speaker 2>but that may be largely because of lifespan. You know,
<v Speaker 2>in general, humans didn't get cancers until are very few
<v Speaker 2>until the Industrial Revolution, and that's because they weren't living
<v Speaker 2>long enough in others, when your median life expectancy is
<v Speaker 2>under fifty. We know most cancers in the US occur,
<v Speaker 2>you know, over fifty in people over typically over sixty.
<v Speaker 2>So if you're not living long enough to get cancer,
<v Speaker 2>then it looks like, you know, your instance of cancer
<v Speaker 2>is very low. Well, do we have no idea what
<v Speaker 2>the bigfoot life expectancy is? What? I can't imagine it's
<v Speaker 2>going to be a very large creature like that. I
<v Speaker 2>can't imagine it's gonna be something like, you know, fifty years,
<v Speaker 2>very large time made in the wild. So you know,
<v Speaker 2>maybe they're not getting many cancers because they don't live
<v Speaker 2>as long as we do. On the other hand, maybe
<v Speaker 2>they get different cancers. I mean, other animals get different
<v Speaker 2>kinds of cancer. I have a cat that had a
<v Speaker 2>cancer on its ear and having respected actually, so we'd
<v Speaker 2>like to say we have a cancer survivor in our house.
<v Speaker 2>But it just gets different, you know. You presumably we'll
<v Speaker 2>get different kinds of cancers than the human species would.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that makes sense, and yeah, humans are living to
<v Speaker 1>be you know, they're living to a longer age in life.
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, we have these five G
<v Speaker 1>cell phones that we have up to our head constantly.
<v Speaker 1>We're watching TV and a lot of that stuff is
<v Speaker 1>kind of newer. You know, no one has really in
<v Speaker 1>the history of mankind watched Netflix for seventeen hours straight,
<v Speaker 1>but you know it's something new. Yeah, we're living longer,
<v Speaker 1>but we have more problems, I guess, is what I'm
<v Speaker 1>getting up.
<v Speaker 2>We have more chronic diseases. I think that's the way
<v Speaker 2>I would look at it. Now, are some of those
<v Speaker 2>diseases results team from some of the exposures we put
<v Speaker 2>ourselves to go?
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, probably, yeah, absolutely. And where you encountered this sasquatch?
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever go back to the area to investigate
<v Speaker 1>to see if you can possibly see another one or
<v Speaker 1>find some tracks.
<v Speaker 2>You know, Like I said, we were living there that summer,
<v Speaker 2>so we hung around there all the you know, this was,
<v Speaker 2>like I said, in June, so we were there through August.
<v Speaker 2>We never saw or heard anything again that, it would
<v Speaker 2>absolutely swear was unusual. I never saw any any footprints.
<v Speaker 2>We heard, you know, screens at night sometimes. Well we
<v Speaker 2>knew we had matlins in that area, so they make
<v Speaker 2>a screen and coyotes and they make screams like that.
<v Speaker 2>So there's nothing we could absolutely swear, you know that
<v Speaker 2>that was unusual. Since then, I've only been I've only
<v Speaker 2>driven by a handful of times. So the ownership of
<v Speaker 2>the property changed hands, and now I don't even know
<v Speaker 2>who owns it. The family that owned it when I
<v Speaker 2>was there is long gone, so you know, I don't
<v Speaker 2>even have any access to it anymore.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, I appreciate your honesty. And have you ever
<v Speaker 1>encountered anything paranormal in your life? I mean, during that
<v Speaker 1>time frame that you've seen the Sasquatch or maybe whenever
<v Speaker 1>you were doing a procedure, have you ever experienced anything
<v Speaker 1>unusual that you can't explain?
<v Speaker 2>You know, they're certainly I'll put this away, but certainly
<v Speaker 2>every cancer physician will tell you that there are things
<v Speaker 2>that have happened in their experience they can't explain. Be
<v Speaker 2>it something as simple as a patient who has a
<v Speaker 2>very extensive disease and you would swear he's not going
<v Speaker 2>to live out, you know, the week maybe, and then
<v Speaker 2>ten years later they're alive. And well, all of us
<v Speaker 2>who have been in the business any length of time
<v Speaker 2>have experiences like that. You know, I think that's as
<v Speaker 2>worthy of being called paranormal as anything. I have no
<v Speaker 2>idea why, you know, something with a wide person with
<v Speaker 2>a widely ministhetic cancer who is appears to be on
<v Speaker 2>their deathbed suddenly has a go away and stay away
<v Speaker 2>when we really did nothing that made any difference. So
<v Speaker 2>you know, in my mind, that's paran orlean in of itself. Now,
<v Speaker 2>having said that, I have we have a history, I
<v Speaker 2>guess in that. Like I said, we live in and
<v Speaker 2>have lived in New Orleans, Louisiana for many years. We
<v Speaker 2>owned a big house in uptown New Orleans that was
<v Speaker 2>built in eighteen eighty by a retired Confederate general, and
<v Speaker 2>the general has been reported to be seen in the house.
<v Speaker 2>All of myself and my family have never seen it.
<v Speaker 2>We were watching, But I don't know whether the general
<v Speaker 2>moved on after a while, or you know, maybe we
<v Speaker 2>were boring to him, he just left. I don't know,
<v Speaker 2>but that was a story about our house.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that's terrifying to know that. And whenever you
<v Speaker 1>are doing these procedures your line of work, how did
<v Speaker 1>you combat the stress? Like did it ever get to
<v Speaker 1>you seeing these people that were somewhat hopeless and going
<v Speaker 1>downhill rapidly?
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah, all the time, that's you know, one of
<v Speaker 2>the things that we we work on with our trainees
<v Speaker 2>constantly is how to you know, how to keep yourself
<v Speaker 2>from being affected by that. And one of the ways
<v Speaker 2>we do that is we actually tell our trainees that
<v Speaker 2>you have to make some kind of professional distance from
<v Speaker 2>the patient. Even in people who you really like, you know,
<v Speaker 2>you just you're attracted to them as you would be
<v Speaker 2>somebody on the street. You know, just a nice person
<v Speaker 2>and you'd like to be nice to them. You have
<v Speaker 2>to maintain some kind of distance or what will happen
<v Speaker 2>is when they get sick and die, you're going to
<v Speaker 2>feel even worse about it. So and that's tricky to do,
<v Speaker 2>and you're not always going to be successful in it.
<v Speaker 2>And certainly some there are patients that I've tried to
<v Speaker 2>maintain that distance from that I'm not have not been
<v Speaker 2>completely able to and their illness and death have been
<v Speaker 2>particularly difficult. But that's one of the things we teach
<v Speaker 2>is to help help young physicians try to do to
<v Speaker 2>manage those circumstances. And not all of them can do it.
<v Speaker 2>You know, there are a lot of physicians who who
<v Speaker 2>simply won't do oncology because they don't want to put
<v Speaker 2>themselves in that situation, so hopefully it's sort of a
<v Speaker 2>self selective thing.
<v Speaker 1>Also, Yeah, absolutely, I imagine it's extremely difficult to deal with that,
<v Speaker 1>especially whenever you gain this relationship with the person and
<v Speaker 1>you know, you try to tell yourself it's not going
<v Speaker 1>to affect me, and later down the road, you know,
<v Speaker 1>it hits you and you just can't control it. But
<v Speaker 1>I guess you have to learn how to accept it
<v Speaker 1>and move on and being professional about your your line
<v Speaker 1>of work.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, you know. I think the ones who who
<v Speaker 2>that I would even struggle with would be the pediatric
<v Speaker 2>oncologists who deal with, you know, with young children with
<v Speaker 2>life threatening illnesses. I would find that I think even
<v Speaker 2>more troubling or challenging. I don't think I would want
<v Speaker 2>to do that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no doubt about that. And that's the thing about
<v Speaker 1>the Bigfoot topic is like there's just no answer to
<v Speaker 1>why this is going on. You hear all these theories
<v Speaker 1>that you know, it's it's a primate, you know, it's
<v Speaker 1>a living species out there, and then you hear these
<v Speaker 1>bizarre stories where you know, people seeing orbs around the
<v Speaker 1>sasquatch or they just vanished, And I think That's one
<v Speaker 1>of the keys to life is that sometimes there isn't
<v Speaker 1>an answer, but you know it's truly happening. And you know,
<v Speaker 1>why why would this little kid who's done nothing wrong
<v Speaker 1>get cancer and die? Like why does he deserve that?
<v Speaker 1>But this murder is living this life and yeah he's
<v Speaker 1>in jail, but you know he's still getting fed and
<v Speaker 1>getting taken care of and he just you know, you
<v Speaker 1>wonder about these things and it doesn't make sense.
<v Speaker 2>Sure, just one of those those things we can't understand.
<v Speaker 2>You know. It's just like you said, it's kind of
<v Speaker 2>the same thing with Bigfoot. I mean, I will admit
<v Speaker 2>I think if that, if that creature, whatever you want
<v Speaker 2>to call it, exists, then it is in fact a
<v Speaker 2>flesh and blood primate, maybe even a hominid that descended
<v Speaker 2>from other hominids, maybe you know from hundreds of thousands
<v Speaker 2>of years ago. You know, there's the so called Gigantopithecus
<v Speaker 2>theory about a very large dominant that was in Asia,
<v Speaker 2>you know, and could that have migrated across the Bearing
<v Speaker 2>land bridge with early humans? Sure, and then it's developed
<v Speaker 2>into what we know today, as saysquatch Uh, Yeah, I
<v Speaker 2>think that's possible. Now just as you say, though, I've
<v Speaker 2>heard plenty of people who have told me some of
<v Speaker 2>the more extreme, parent normal things about it, you know,
<v Speaker 2>like the bigfoots can cloak themselves, or they can you know,
<v Speaker 2>they can uh do telepathy, they can contact you in
<v Speaker 2>your mind, or you know, the ores and those things
<v Speaker 2>like you mentioned. You know, I don't make fun of anybody.
<v Speaker 2>You know, if if you think that's that's what you
<v Speaker 2>solved and that's what you saw, you know, you just
<v Speaker 2>have to take it at face value. And and then
<v Speaker 2>you know, with for me, I take I accept that,
<v Speaker 2>say yeah, okay, thank you, and then in my own
<v Speaker 2>mind I kind of set that aside and think, okay,
<v Speaker 2>what is real? You know, here's my my thought about that.
<v Speaker 2>It would be very difficult for me to try to
<v Speaker 2>solve a mystery with another mystery. In other words, the
<v Speaker 2>mystery bigfoot. Oh it's an alien, but but aliens are
<v Speaker 2>a mystery, you know. I mean, that doesn't solve anything.
<v Speaker 2>So that's just kind of the way I go. And
<v Speaker 2>I don't make fun of anybody. I'm certainly open to
<v Speaker 2>anybody telling me what they think about it, and I
<v Speaker 2>will be respectful of that. It's just you know, I
<v Speaker 2>don't look at it that way.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree, and I guess anything is possible. Do
<v Speaker 1>you think that the Sasquatch are possibly able to find
<v Speaker 1>cures for their illnesses? I've heard with elephants in Africa
<v Speaker 1>that they're hardwired within their DNA to seek out certain plants,
<v Speaker 1>and then they consume certain plants and it kind of
<v Speaker 1>mixes in their stomach. And I've even heard scientists say
<v Speaker 1>that they possibly know the care to cancer.
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think it's possible, and I've heard variations
<v Speaker 2>on that, you know, uh, scattered around for many years.
<v Speaker 2>And why not. You know, if a creature learns way
<v Speaker 2>back in its evolutionary past that if you eat this plant,
<v Speaker 2>that it'll make you feel better basically, and then that
<v Speaker 2>becomes a part of their both first their oral tradition
<v Speaker 2>and then eventually their genetic tradition. Sure, that's possible. You know.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that I would say I know of
<v Speaker 2>any any specific instances of it now, but it certainly
<v Speaker 2>seems theoretically possible.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, anything as possible. What do you think is the
<v Speaker 1>main reason that we're not being told about Bigfoot?
<v Speaker 2>Hmmm? You know, I I here's what I will say
<v Speaker 2>about that. I do think most law enforcement agencies that
<v Speaker 2>have been involved with the phenomena are are are genuine
<v Speaker 2>in their simple disdain. I think most of them don't
<v Speaker 2>really have any secret knowledge. You know, if you talk
<v Speaker 2>to the sheriff of your county that then somebody cames
<v Speaker 2>comes up to him and claims he's seen a bigfoot.
<v Speaker 2>You know, the sheriff's the guy you've known for twenty years.
<v Speaker 2>He's very stable, good guy, he has no motivation and
<v Speaker 2>you know, and trying to maintain some great conspiracy. I
<v Speaker 2>think most of the most of the law enforcement are like that.
<v Speaker 2>They don't really have any They're not trying to kind
<v Speaker 2>any secrets. They just don't. They just hold the whole
<v Speaker 2>topic in disdain in a sense, I don't want to
<v Speaker 2>hear about it because I think it's silly and that's it. Now.
<v Speaker 2>Are there some cases of potentially government or other agencies
<v Speaker 2>that know more than that? You know? I think I
<v Speaker 2>have to say that's possible. You know, we found out
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things we didn't know about the government
<v Speaker 2>in the last few years anyway, not necessarily bigfoot, but
<v Speaker 2>that things that the government is doing that we don't
<v Speaker 2>necessarily know about so again, I think it's theoretically possible.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the majority of law enforcement people are
<v Speaker 2>quote in on it. I think most of them just
<v Speaker 2>look at it, look down their nose, kind of at
<v Speaker 2>the whole phenomena, and just kind of get a laugh
<v Speaker 2>out of it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree, And I've even interviewed in sheriffs who
<v Speaker 1>have encountered these creatures, and you know, it's really changed them.
<v Speaker 1>And there's not really much you can do. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>you can't go to the chief or whoever's in charge
<v Speaker 1>of the supervisor and push it. I mean, it's something
<v Speaker 1>that you saw and it's unexplained and you have to
<v Speaker 1>move on to the next case.
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly right, you know. That's why you know, you
<v Speaker 2>think about Jeff Malgrm, why has he been stuck in
<v Speaker 2>is you know, he is at his academic profile for
<v Speaker 2>so long. It's because he's willing to say those things
<v Speaker 2>to the balls who probably doesn't have any stake in
<v Speaker 2>the game but just thinks it's kind of silly. It's
<v Speaker 2>you know, we really don't want to mess with that here,
<v Speaker 2>so it can be a detriment, you know, to speak
<v Speaker 2>to authorities about it. I don't see certainly why people
<v Speaker 2>would not want to.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, I mean I think it's worth studying. There's
<v Speaker 1>so many people that have encountered these creatures. There's been
<v Speaker 1>tracks that have been found, unknown hair samples, DM nay,
<v Speaker 1>and strange videos. I think it's worth a shot. If
<v Speaker 1>some scientists wanted to get together and possibly find the funding,
<v Speaker 1>I think it'd be worth it. But then again, there's
<v Speaker 1>the risk of spending your entire career and not finding anything.
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of researchers out there that have dedicated
<v Speaker 1>their life to Bigfoot and just never seen one. And
<v Speaker 1>I've heard it several times that I've spent my entire
<v Speaker 1>life looking for Bigfoot and I've just never seen it.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, no, I get it, and that would be frustrating,
<v Speaker 2>you know. I think the answer, in terms of funding,
<v Speaker 2>it's going to have to come from the private sector.
<v Speaker 2>You know, There've been a handful of individuals over the
<v Speaker 2>year who were wealthy enough to be able to fund
<v Speaker 2>you know, big expensive expeditions of various times, and I
<v Speaker 2>think that's the only way it's really going to be
<v Speaker 2>that we're really ever going to get any significant funding
<v Speaker 2>for that At that of the Satisquatch area of research.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree. I mean far as getting a group
<v Speaker 1>together that has thermal satellite cameras and military equipment, I
<v Speaker 1>don't think that's going to happen. And even things that
<v Speaker 1>happened in the military, you know, they're told to keep
<v Speaker 1>quiet about it, even if it's something that's not that
<v Speaker 1>huge of a deal. You know, they're just not allowed
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it. And you know, if you're in
<v Speaker 1>the military, you kind of see that that they control
<v Speaker 1>you and you don't really have any control over your
<v Speaker 1>own independence. So that's just how it is.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I think that's uh, you know, Yeah, that
<v Speaker 2>contributes to the the reticence of many people, including myself
<v Speaker 2>to some degree, to try to bring the tales forward
<v Speaker 2>or the experiences forward that they that they've had.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's certainly all we can do, and we can
<v Speaker 1>just try to learn from each other and try to
<v Speaker 1>obtain a bigger picture. Yeah, I think that pretty well
<v Speaker 1>answers most of my questions. Rusty, and I really appreciate
<v Speaker 1>you for being a guest on the channel and for
<v Speaker 1>taking the time to talk about your Bigfoot encounter. And
<v Speaker 1>I believe you, you know, I believe that you encounter this
<v Speaker 1>creature and it's just always going to remain a mystery
<v Speaker 1>until it's not.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, absolutely well, listen, I appreciate it very much and
<v Speaker 2>I've just been a pleasure to be on with you.
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, thank you so much. And if you ever encounter
<v Speaker 1>anything else in the future, feel free to reach back
<v Speaker 1>out to me.
<v Speaker 2>You bet, I will you take care, all right, you
<v Speaker 2>have an excellent day.
<v Speaker 1>All right, Rusty, thank you very much for sharing your bigfoot.
<v Speaker 1>I cite an encounter from the state of Arkansas, and
<v Speaker 1>it really makes sense that these creatures are following the
<v Speaker 1>waterways and that's where the Native Americans chose to live
<v Speaker 1>back in the day, so it makes sense why the
<v Speaker 1>sasquatch creatures are found around water. And Doug Hijack calls
<v Speaker 1>them water apes, and I believe that that is true
<v Speaker 1>because all life needs water. And yeah, I have I
<v Speaker 1>had to ask some off the wall questions because I've
<v Speaker 1>heard a lot of theories that elephants will eat certain
<v Speaker 1>plant life and get a certain mixture in their stomachs,
<v Speaker 1>and they talked about how they possibly could have the
<v Speaker 1>cure for cancer, and I believe that's true. I feel
<v Speaker 1>like nature is hardwired to know what they need to consume,
<v Speaker 1>and humans they're losing touch with nature, and in turn,
<v Speaker 1>we are seeing a lot more diseases and illnesses taking
<v Speaker 1>place nowadays, even though humans live longer. I don't think
<v Speaker 1>that's necessarily true either, because the Bible talks about people
<v Speaker 1>like Moses or even Noah that live to be hundreds
<v Speaker 1>of years old, and you hear that a lot in
<v Speaker 1>the Old Testament. And also there's stories of old timers
<v Speaker 1>even today, people that live to be over one hundred
<v Speaker 1>years old, and they didn't have the treatment that we
<v Speaker 1>have nowadays. And like I said, there's a lot more
<v Speaker 1>illnesses today than what there was back then. So I
<v Speaker 1>think people back in the day live long because there
<v Speaker 1>was a lot more natural things going on in the world.
