1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,680
What would you do if you heard 
heavy footsteps circling your 

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,600
campsite in the middle of the 
night? 

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,880
Tonight's witnesses had to 
answer that question for 

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,280
themselves. 
Get cozy and welcome back to The

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:43,000
Bigfoot Project. 
I've never told this story to 

6
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,400
anyone to keep people from 
thinking my dad was crazy, so I 

7
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,040
don't want our names revealed. 
This is a bit of a sad story, 

8
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,400
but it's his story and I'm going
to tell it to you. 

9
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,080
As far back as I can remember as
a child, my grandpa and dad 

10
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,160
taught me how to hunt. 
I was an only child and knew it 

11
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,840
would be up to me to carry on 
the family hunting tradition. 

12
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,600
My grandpa owns some land way up
in the mountains away from 

13
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,360
everyone and everything on this 
land. 

14
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,680
Said an old cabin that was built
by my great grandfather back in 

15
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,120
the early 1900s. 
It took about an hour to drive 

16
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,520
to the nearest house or store, 
so this was a well kept private 

17
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,680
area that no one ever visited 
except the three of us. 

18
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,920
There was no electrical or phone
service at the camp being as it 

19
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,840
was so far out in the woods. 
One learned to be careful 

20
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,240
because if something happened 
while at the camp or hunting 

21
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,960
then you were on your own. 
There was no way to get any 

22
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:38,280
help. 
When I was 15 years old we had 

23
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,800
planned a trip up to the cabin 
but I had come down with the flu

24
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,280
and could not make the trip. 
So my grandpa and my dad left 

25
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,680
home to make that 4 hour drive 
to our hunting camp. 

26
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,760
Mum and I told them that we 
loved them and wished them the 

27
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,800
best of luck on their week long 
hunting trip and off they went. 

28
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,200
Three days later we got a call 
from the county police that 

29
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,640
something bad had happened 
there. 

30
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,480
We were told my dad was in the 
hospital and in very bad shape. 

31
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,640
Mum asked what about grandpa, is
he OK? 

32
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,440
They did not know anyone else 
was with my dad so my mum told 

33
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,440
them about the camp and the 
police were dispatched to find 

34
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,680
my grandpa. 
Mum and I jumped in the car and 

35
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,800
drove that long trip as fast as 
we could. 

36
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,280
Once we got to the hospital we 
found out dad had a stroke and 

37
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,920
they found grandpa at the cabin.
He was covered with claw marks. 

38
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,600
He was either dead from his 
wounds or he had had a heart 

39
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,240
attack before the animal 
attacked. 

40
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,200
Somehow my dad was able to get 
in the truck and started to 

41
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,280
drive down the mountain to get 
help, but he didn't make it all 

42
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,200
the way into town. 
Someone found him, pulled over 

43
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,520
on the side of the road and took
him to the hospital. 

44
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:49,680
After a couple of days, my 
father came to enough to explain

45
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,400
what had happened that led to 
the long investigation. 

46
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,440
Both men were out in their deer 
stands hunting when my dad hears

47
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,720
the most awful roaring, growling
sound down in the woods where 

48
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,600
grandpa was sitting. 
He heard yelling but could not 

49
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,160
make out what he was saying. 
Then a gunshot and more yelling 

50
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,520
came from my grandpa. 
He then heard sounds from some 

51
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,120
kind of wild animal. 
My dad got out of the stand and 

52
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,080
ran to grandpa. 
Dad was yelling where are you, 

53
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,680
where are you, are you OK? 
And he was scanning the area 

54
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,040
with his gun to his shoulder 
trying to figure out what had 

55
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,800
happened. 
He couldn't see grandpa and he 

56
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,520
did not see anything moving 
around. 

57
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,000
It was totally silent when he 
got there. 

58
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,200
Dad made his way to grandpa 
stand and found him lying in 

59
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,520
some brush and he was bleeding 
very badly. 

60
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,120
He picked grandpa up and headed 
to the cabin with him over his 

61
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,760
shoulder. 
When he reached the cabin my 

62
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,000
father collapsed. 
He had had a stroke. 

63
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,720
He knew the only way to get help
was to try and drive out of 

64
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:53,320
there. 
During the investigation the 

65
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,960
police found where grandpa was 
sitting. 

66
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,880
His rifle was broke in half and 
the barrel was bent almost into 

67
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,600
AU shape. 
Grandpa also had a handful of 

68
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,680
hair in his first and they never
found out what kind of animal 

69
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,920
that this hair came from. 
There was also a blood trail 

70
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,040
leading down into the thick 
swamp, then went up into a tree 

71
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,200
and then vanished. 
They took samples of the blood 

72
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,480
but could not find anything to 
match to tell what it came from.

73
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,720
There was a big manhunt put in 
place for days, but no one found

74
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,640
anything other than that blood 
trail. 

75
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,280
Eventually it was classified as 
a bear attack. 

76
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,600
Only bad thing about them 
closing this case as a bear 

77
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,400
attack is there are no bears in 
this part of the country. 

78
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,600
Once we got home dad told me the
sounds he had heard and from the

79
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,680
claw marks on grandpa and the 
gun being destroyed like that, 

80
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:44,680
that he firmly believed it was a
Bigfoot. 

81
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,120
There are many rumors from other
folks up in those hills saying 

82
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,320
that they had sighted Bigfoot 
before and have heard some 

83
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,880
creepy sounds in the woods at 
night. 

84
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,800
My dad made me promise to never 
go back up to the cabin and to 

85
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,040
stay away from that place. 
I have never been back up since 

86
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,200
then and we all really miss my 
grandfather. 

87
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,080
Grant County, Arkansas, January 
20th, 2010. 

88
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,280
The witness routinely travelled 
the same route from his home to 

89
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:20,040
his ranch, which is situated 
above the floodplain of the 

90
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,560
river and very often stopped at 
a point on the state highway 

91
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,720
where a utility right of way 
crossed it. 

92
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,040
He said that the land on both 
sides of the highway had for 

93
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,880
many years been owned by either 
local residents or local timber 

94
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,440
companies that allow basically 
unlimited public access to the 

95
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,240
river bottoms for hunting and 
fishing. 

96
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,160
The area contains swamps and 
Oxbow lakes and was until 

97
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,080
recently covered by old growth 
hardwood forests. 

98
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,920
Many of that hardwood has now 
been harvested. 

99
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,760
The area is noted for its 
abundance of wildlife, including

100
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,440
deer, bear, Turkey, bobcat, 
cougar, raccoons, foxes, 

101
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,240
coyotes, squirrels, and, since 
the 1970s, a large population of

102
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,880
feral hogs, including the Russia
boar. 

103
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,080
The area is also known for its 
populations of large 

104
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,960
rattlesnakes, cottonmouth and 
copperhead snakes. 

105
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,240
The witness nor the general 
public no longer has access to 

106
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,040
those uninhabited areas, and 
most of the old roads, including

107
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,920
some that were once maintained 
by the county, are now 

108
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,560
barricaded by locked gates. 
The witness said that he often 

109
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,640
stopped on the highway shoulder 
at the mode utility right of way

110
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,960
crossing just to be able to look
for wildlife in the area he had 

111
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,920
once haunted and fished so 
often. 

112
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,840
At the time of the incident, the
witness drove his pickup onto 

113
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:42,560
the highway shoulder at the 
utility right of way crossing. 

114
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,680
The men sat in the truck and 
watched the right away for a few

115
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,040
minutes without seeing any type 
of animal. 

116
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,640
Then the witness noticed through
the passenger side window 

117
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,920
movement along the timberline on
the north side of the right of 

118
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,120
way. 
He at first thought it was a 

119
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,400
human walking away from the 
highway at about 500 yards from 

120
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,320
it. 
When he noticed that the figure 

121
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,800
appeared to be of uniform colour
and much taller than a person, 

122
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,800
he told the passenger to watch 
it while he picked up his 

123
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,120
binoculars. 
The passenger watched the moving

124
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,760
figure while the witness focused
his binoculars on it. 

125
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,320
The witness saw the figure was 
too large to be a person, 

126
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,680
although it was walking erect on
2 legs like a human. 

127
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,800
He then handed the passenger the
binoculars. 

128
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,920
The witness had a hunting rifle 
with a 24 times range Finder 

129
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,680
scope in a case inside the truck
cab, and he began to extract 

130
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,440
them. 
He said he fubbled around and 

131
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,040
finally got the rifle of the 
case and looked through the 

132
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,080
scope at the swiftly walking 
figure. 

133
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,600
After watching it for a brief 
time, he gave the rifle to his 

134
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,080
friend and he took the 
binoculars and continued to 

135
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,840
watch it. 
He stated that during the time 

136
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,040
they watched the figure it 
stayed along the edge of the 

137
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,680
wood line but occasionally 
walked out of their sight for a 

138
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,280
few seconds in the woods beside 
the right of way. 

139
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,920
He said that through the rifle 
scope he could clearly see that 

140
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,760
the man like creature was 
carrying what he thought was the

141
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,640
body of a small hog over its 
right shoulder and holding two 

142
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,400
of its feet with its right hand.
The witness said he could not be

143
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,440
sure the animal being carried on
the shoulder was actually a hog,

144
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,080
but it was the shape of a hog, 
not a deer. 

145
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,680
He said that it could have been 
the body of a medium sized dog. 

146
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,440
The witness said the creature 
was taller than any professional

147
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,680
basketball player by a head or 
more. 

148
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,400
He said that its upper body 
would put a body builder's to 

149
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,320
shame. 
He particularly noticed that the

150
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,400
creature's shoulders were 
massive and that the upper torso

151
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,840
tapered to the waist. 
He was also struck by the fact 

152
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,160
that the creature's legs and 
arms were very long in relation 

153
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,600
to its total height. 
He at first stated that the 

154
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,160
thing's hands could have touched
its knees as it walked. 

155
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,680
He said the creature was not 
running at any time, but taking 

156
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:59,800
long quick steps and swinging 
its left arm in long arcs like 

157
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,760
it was using that arm to keep 
its balance. 

158
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,360
He said that the body was 
covered in a burnt brown colored

159
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,720
stringy looking hair. 
The witness stated that the 

160
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,840
creature was approximately 500 
yards from them when they first 

161
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,400
saw it. 
They watched it until it finally

162
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,000
walked into the woods and 
disappeared from their view 

163
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,440
about 800 yards down the right 
away at that point it went into 

164
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:27,200
the woods and did not reappear. 
This story was sent to the 

165
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,640
Bigfoot Project by Anonymous. 
Apparently, the witness worked 

166
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,040
at a Sheriff's Department at the
time of the incident. 

167
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,720
The call originated from our 
Local 911 centre, which is 

168
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,760
located in the county's 
Sheriff's Office. 

169
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,160
The caller was speaking Spanish,
and our dispatcher only speaks 

170
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,800
English. 
We have two officers on staff 

171
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,400
who do speak Spanish. 
So one of the officers happened 

172
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,000
to be in the compound that late 
June night catching up on 

173
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,560
paperwork. 
He put on his headphones to 

174
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:57,760
listen in and translate and 
direct the call. 

175
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,000
The officer knew this was a bad 
one right away. 

176
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,480
The caller was screaming into 
the phone, begging for help, 

177
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,920
begging for us to send cars. 
He just kept saying send cars, 

178
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,640
send cars, we need help. 
Loud noises could be heard in 

179
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,560
the background. 
Then there were several 

180
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:17,040
gunshots. 
She needed an address because 

181
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,120
the call was coming in from a 
pay by minute mobile phone and 

182
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,240
in those days we could not 
locate the signal. 

183
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,400
Finally the officer said to the 
caller in a loud but calm voice.

184
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,480
Where are you? 
The caller replied, Browns Rd. 

185
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,360
So the officer said, OK, who's 
shooting the guns? 

186
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,840
The caller was gone for a 
minute, so the officer repeated 

187
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,040
the question. 30 seconds later 
the response was We are 

188
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,080
defending ourselves. 
The officer immediately replied,

189
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,920
we have cars on the way, you 
have to put your guns down when 

190
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,240
the cars arrive. 
The caller seemed to calm down 

191
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,400
and said, hurry, a monster is 
attacking us. 

192
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,200
The officer and the dispatcher 
looked at each other. 

193
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,080
When they returned their 
attention to the call, the line 

194
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:06,320
was dead. 
After several attempts to recall

195
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,400
the number, someone finally 
picked up and it was a child. 

196
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,360
I'm hiding from the monster. 
Please help me. 

197
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,160
Then they heard banging and more
commotion, more gunfire. 

198
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,520
There was a fight happening in 
that house. 

199
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,280
The child could not respond and 
the dispatcher assumed that the 

200
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,400
child had laid the phone down or
dropped it. 

201
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,120
Deputies normally ride solo in 
their cars in this county, but 

202
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,320
on this night I had a fellow 
officer with me. 

203
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:34,360
He was a member of our narcotics
team and when he heard the 

204
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,520
location of the call, he knew 
exactly where this house was. 

205
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,000
It was a single wide trailer 
parked at the end of a newly 

206
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,680
bulldozed Rd. out in the county.
It was the perfect spot for a 

207
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:47,440
meth lab. 
It was a lab noticed by recent 

208
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,320
flyovers and our narcotics team 
had been watching it for the 

209
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,560
last two weeks. 
They had a two man team posted 

210
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:56,800
150 yards behind the house in 
the woods to watch the trailer, 

211
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,360
but that team had been taken off
the stakeout to move to another 

212
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,680
case for two nights. 
It had been confirmed that this 

213
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:06,120
was a meth lab and they were 
going to take it down the next 

214
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,840
week. 
We also had undercover guys 

215
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,720
following the shipments hoping 
to make more arrests when we 

216
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,160
pull the trigger on the 
operation. 

217
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,200
It was a well established cash 
machine back in the woods and it

218
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,680
was not going anywhere. 
I will not describe our methods 

219
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:23,000
of approaching a large drug 
operation like this. 

220
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,840
We don't want the bad guys to 
know that we know what they're 

221
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,560
doing. 
However, we were able to 

222
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:30,200
approach the house within an 
hour. 

223
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,160
When we hit a house like this in
the woods, we know several of 

224
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,800
the subjects will take off into 
the woods and try and escape. 

225
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,840
No one ran. 
They were all standing in 

226
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,720
Plainview as we approached the 
house. 

227
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,680
Their weapons were laid neatly 
in front of the group and they 

228
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:47,400
all stood sweating in the heat 
of the night with their hands in

229
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,920
the air. 
They were almost glad to see us.

230
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,120
Prior to approaching the house, 
we had positioned several teams 

231
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,760
out and about the perimeter to 
catch those trying to flee. 

232
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,960
When the tense moments were over
and those guys were free to move

233
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,440
about and come in to help us 
process the area, they began 

234
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,160
calling in on the radio that 
they had bodies in the woods. 

235
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,360
Not a shot had been fired since 
we entered the area. 

236
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,080
The sheriff was asking over the 
radio what was the apparent 

237
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,840
cause of death. 
He wanted to know that his men 

238
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,840
were not walking into an ambush 
with armed men who had been 

239
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,560
placed in the woods before the 
pandemonium had broke out with 

240
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:26,640
the 911 call. 
The officers in the field were 

241
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,360
only saying that he needed to 
see it before they broadcast it 

242
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,400
over the radios. 
The sheriff and two officers 

243
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,680
began walking into the woods 
surrounding the house. 

244
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,960
My team was to secure the 
immediate area surrounding the 

245
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,560
trailer, so once we had our 
suspects in cuffs and loaded 

246
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:44,400
into the van, we began making a 
search around the trailer. 

247
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,600
Another team was inside of the 
house and they've been taken 

248
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,760
inventory of all the evidence 
they could find. 

249
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,560
As I rounded the corner to the 
back of the house, I could not 

250
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:56,560
believe what I was seeing. 
The whole back of the trailer 

251
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:00,000
was ripped open, walls torn off,
and thrown into the yard. 

252
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,880
I could clearly see the interior
of the trailer from one end to 

253
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,480
the other. 
Some of the debris was inside 

254
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,240
the house which looked like the 
walls had been caved in from the

255
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,560
outside and some was in the yard
as if something had tore the 

256
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:15,160
walls out once it had a hand 
hold on the walls. 

257
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,080
The scene reminded me of how a 
trailer looks after a tornado. 

258
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,080
An officer with the team inside 
the trailer got the generator 

259
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,360
started that had been the power 
source for the whole operation 

260
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,320
and exterior floodlights that 
were still attached to the eave 

261
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,680
of the back of the house 
illuminated the area. 

262
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,840
There were two bodies laying 
just inside the woods. 

263
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,920
They both lay in vines and brush
in contorted positions. 

264
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,960
We checked for signs of life but
it was not there. 

265
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,800
One of the dead men looked like 
he had been doubled over 

266
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,640
backwards. 
His back obviously broke and the

267
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,560
position he was left in haunts 
my dreams still. 

268
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,720
The other's body was laying at 
the base of the tree. 

269
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,000
The only way we could see how he
got in that position was for 

270
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,120
someone or something to have 
slapped him into the tree trunk 

271
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,080
while holding his feet, folding 
him into a horseshoe shape, and 

272
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,640
then letting him drop to the 
ground. 

273
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,200
The officers and the sheriff out
in the woods were finding other 

274
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,160
bodies out there in similar 
positions. 

275
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,720
Daylight finally gave us a 
better view of the area and we 

276
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,160
searched most of the day for 
evidence in the woods. 

277
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,040
Each body had a weapon laying 
close by. 

278
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,360
Several spent brass cartridges 
were found close to all of the 

279
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,880
bodies. 
We had no reason to think that 

280
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,360
they were shooting each other. 
They seemed to be defending 

281
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,720
themselves from something. 
By noon the next day, everything

282
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,760
had been bagged and tagged. 
The 8 individuals we had 

283
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,320
arrested had been taken to the 
county jail for processing and 

284
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,640
the bodies had been delivered to
the coroner's office for 

285
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,880
inspection Later. 
We hoped we would find a 

286
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,080
reasonable explanation on how 
they died. 

287
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,080
None had a single gunshot wound.
They had all been crushed to 

288
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,320
death by something, we don't 
know what. 

289
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,720
Around 3:00 PM the truck arrived
to take away what was left of 

290
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,960
that single wide trailer. 
The driver spent an hour hooking

291
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,920
everything up, then drove off 
down the muddy Rd. that led to 

292
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,640
the meth lab. 
We were done with this job. 

293
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,360
There were four of us left at 
the scene and we were loading 

294
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,920
our gear into our cars when I 
slammed the trunk lid down. 

295
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,840
A small child appeared at the 
edge of the woods in my view 

296
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,040
over the top of the car. 
It was a little girl around the 

297
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,800
age of 11 or 12:00. 
I walked over to her, kneeled 

298
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,240
down and asked her if this is 
where she lived. 

299
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,000
See, she said, looking up at my 
face. 

300
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,240
I asked her if she spoke 
English. 

301
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,560
She said yes, very little. 
OK, tell me in English what 

302
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,000
happened here last night. 
She began to tremble and I could

303
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,080
tell it was hard for her to get 
the words out. 

304
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,520
Then she said, Javier shot a man
in the forest. 

305
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,520
The big man chased him. 
I ran away to hide. 

306
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,200
I took her hand and LED her to 
my squad car and placed her in 

307
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,200
the front seat and shut the door
while my partner rode in the 

308
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,000
back seat. 
I wanted her to feel comfortable

309
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,560
and not like she was being 
arrested. 

310
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,599
As we drove out on the muddy Rd.
she started repeating a phrase 

311
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:08,400
in Spanish. 
A monster came here last night. 

312
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,319
It was a monster. 
It was a monster. 

313
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,119
There's no official cause of 
death to this day for the bodies

314
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,520
that we found, but I'm pretty 
sure I know what it was. 

315
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,880
My name is Tracy, and as a young
person, I grew up in northern 

316
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,480
Oklahoma. 
My grandfather owned property 

317
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,160
that butted up against the Cow 
Creek watersheds to provide 

318
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,080
location. 
It's about 30 minutes from 

319
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,120
Ponca, 15 minutes from Pawnee, 
and 15 minutes from Red Rock. 

320
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,840
Lake McCurdy was about 30 
minutes away in the opposite 

321
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,960
direction from Red Rock. 
At one point he owned 500 acres 

322
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,440
or basically a square mile. 
Overtime he had sold the 

323
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,640
property off down to 125 acres 
or what is referred to as 1/4. 

324
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,000
The property had two good sized 
ponds on it and a natural spring

325
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,040
that constantly ran towards the 
watershed with Crystal 

326
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,880
Clearwater. 
No one was allowed to hunt on 

327
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,320
his property and no one did. 
He purchased the land around 

328
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,400
1942 or 43. 
He raised cattle, pigs, quarter 

329
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,840
horses and Welch Shetland 
ponies, goats, etcetera. 

330
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,560
Virtually anything he could sell
at the Stillwater auctions. 

331
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,800
My first encounter was with my 
brother. 

332
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,400
I was 10 and he was just about 
to turn 12. 

333
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,600
We were fishing at a neighbour's
pond with my dad and sister. 

334
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,000
My brother nor I caught anything
so we went snake hunting for 

335
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,760
ring snakes and horned toads. 
As we were looking at the ground

336
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,520
my brother said to me, you see 
that tree fall? 

337
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,760
I heard a dirt slide and my 
brother said let's go look. 

338
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,840
As he thought he had witnessed 
an erosion event of a tree 

339
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,280
falling into a small crevasse 
from the edge of it. 

340
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:49,480
He ran over to the place where 
it fell about 50 feet from where

341
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,040
we were, screamed and told me to
run. 

342
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,560
As we were running back towards 
the pond the tree now looking 

343
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,240
like a Bigfoot was running the 
opposite way. 

344
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,440
Ends up he was watching us and 
he got too close to the edge and

345
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,800
the ground gave way. 
Our stepdad said we had just 

346
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,440
scared ourselves and brushed it 
off. 

347
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,760
He and my sister kept fishing 
while my brother and I hopped in

348
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,440
the back of the pickup and kept 
an eye out if it were to come 

349
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,280
back. 
My second and third encounter 

350
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,480
happened on the same day. 
I was now thirteen years old and

351
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,720
able to carry a shotgun, so my 
friend Charles and I went 

352
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,680
hunting for quail on my 
grandpa's farm. 

353
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,000
After an hour of walking we made
a winding path to the very back 

354
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,320
of the property and did not fire
one shot. 

355
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,040
The forest had gotten pretty 
thick but we knew where we were 

356
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,080
and that we were not far from 
the watershed area. 

357
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,160
We stepped into a clearing and 3
or 4 quail flushed out. 

358
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,680
So I took a shot, hit the bird 
and it fell into a thicket that 

359
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,080
you couldn't see into. 
So my friend Charles ran over 

360
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,880
and pulled the branches back and
he turned to me and said I don't

361
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,560
think it's your bird but 
something is dead back in here. 

362
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,200
It sure does stink. 
I laughed and I said we need to 

363
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,600
head back as we can't hunt past 
the fence. 

364
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,760
This is where the watershed area
starts, and we were both getting

365
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,520
hungry. 
We started walking back through 

366
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,120
the woods in a more straight 
line than we had getting there, 

367
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,640
and we heard large footsteps 
behind us. 

368
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,000
We thought it was a cow, but we 
couldn't see any cows around. 

369
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,160
When we walked, it walked. 
When we stopped, it stopped. 

370
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,720
We had no idea at the time what 
it was. 

371
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:26,720
We decided to run back to the 
farmhouse and get out of the 

372
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,920
woods as quick as we could. 
We came out of the woods into a 

373
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,240
10 acre clearing. 
We stopped in the middle of the 

374
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,720
10 acres and look back to see a 
very big Bigfoot walk out of the

375
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,640
forest and stand behind a very 
large juniper type Evergreen 

376
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,080
tree and poke his head out to 
look at us. 

377
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,640
He then walked and stood behind 
the next tree and then walked 

378
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,480
down into the Creek which was 
the only thing separating us. 

379
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,480
So we ran the rest of the 
clearing to get to the road and 

380
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,440
ran to my grandpa's house. 
We were so scared, crying and 

381
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,440
hysterical that we just stood in
the mud room for 15 to 20 

382
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,840
minutes. 
We decided that we had to tell 

383
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,520
my grandpa and grandma and my 
sister was there as well. 

384
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:08,000
They all laughed at us and said 
we just got scared in the woods.

385
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,440
My grandmother said take me to 
it I would like to meet this 

386
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,200
thing if it's real. 
So after an hour we got our wits

387
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,520
back and said OK but grandpa 
said no guns. 

388
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,520
So we took frog gigs. 
We walked down an access Rd. 

389
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,640
used to check fences that would 
take us very near where we first

390
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,440
started being followed. 
My sister who was 15 started 

391
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,400
throwing rocks into the woods on
the left side of the road and I 

392
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,960
was watching the right side. 
This is where we saw it again. 

393
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,880
It was standing behind a large 
cedar tree. 

394
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,200
You could see its legs, 5 black 
toenails and its face through 

395
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,480
the branches. 
Very tall. 

396
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,120
The hair was clay red and matted
like a collie that spent all day

397
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:54,680
playing in the mud kind of AV 
shape. 

398
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,640
It's nose was wider than normal 
but not like an ape. 

399
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,680
It's face was dark and its eyes 
were brown. 

400
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,560
The hair color was brown with 
red clay in it. 

401
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,240
Without walking through the 
ditch that stood between us, we 

402
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,160
were 15 feet away from it. 
My grandma saw it and decided 

403
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,480
not to introduce herself. 
We all stared at it for a few 

404
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:19,120
minutes as it stared at us and I
finally said I'm leaving and the

405
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:20,840
rest thought that was a good 
idea. 

406
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,440
It did not follow us back this 
time. 

407
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,800
The next day after I told my 
stepfather what had happened, he

408
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,880
and some friends all went back 
to the few places we saw it and 

409
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,520
found tracks. 
He told me he believed I was 

410
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,680
followed by something, but he 
would not say it was a Sasquatch

411
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,960
or Bigfoot. 
The fourth time I was 15. 

412
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,080
I would no longer go into the 
woods, but I would hunt, quail 

413
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,360
and dove in the open fields. 
There was a pond that was in the

414
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:50,520
open about a 10 minute walk from
the house. 

415
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,680
My friend Jimmy and I stayed the
night at my grandpa's so we 

416
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,200
could get up with the sun and 
shoot some dove as they got 

417
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,320
their morning drinks. 
As we got to the pond and 

418
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,160
climbed down some dam, some dove
took off and I took a shot that 

419
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,000
was pointed towards the woods 
about 50 yards away. 

420
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,440
Within a second we heard the 
loudest, scariest scream come 

421
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,200
from the middle of the forest, 
probably 200 yards away. 

422
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,120
Jimmy thought I had had to have 
hit one of the cows, but then 

423
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:20,400
trees started crashing and the 
screaming came straight towards 

424
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,720
us. 
I can describe the scream as 

425
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,360
something large, deep and pissed
off. 

426
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:29,360
Along with the screaming, it 
also sounded like a semi truck 

427
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:33,000
loaded with logs bouncing around
railroad tracks heading straight

428
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,320
for us fast. 
I was so scared I could not 

429
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,160
move. 
I knew what it was. 

430
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,400
Jimmy didn't. 
Right as the screaming and 

431
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,480
crunching got to the edge of the
forest, all I could think to do 

432
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,720
was raise the shotgun and wait 
until it got close enough I 

433
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,200
could shoot it in the head. 
So I raised it and everything 

434
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,160
immediately stopped. 
It was right at the edge of the 

435
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,200
forest. 
It never came out, however. 

436
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,080
It followed us as far as it 
could back to the house while 

437
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:05,000
staying in the woods. 
Later when I was a senior in 

438
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,400
high school, I was approached by
a kid at school who asked me, 

439
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,920
hey I heard you seen something 
in the woods. 

440
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,920
I asked why he would ask me that
and he stated that he had as 

441
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,800
well ended up he lived in a 
mobile home on the opposite side

442
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,880
of the watershed and that's 
where it spent most of its time.

443
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,880
He stated that his home had been
vandalized by the beast tearing 

444
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,520
off his TV antenna and shaking 
their home, but it never harmed 

445
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,880
them when they saw it by the 
lake. 

446
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,880
We decided to go look for it one
evening. 

447
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,400
There were three of us and his 
father would let us take a 

448
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,120
camera but we didn't see 
anything that evening. 

449
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,960
His father was a top executive 
at a large manufacturing company

450
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,560
in our town. 
He talked to us about what they 

451
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,640
had encountered and I told him 
where my grandpa lived along 

452
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,960
with what I encountered and he 
felt it was the same thing. 

453
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,840
Bigfoot was living in the 
watershed area because it was 

454
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,720
government protected lands with 
no hunting or fishing. 

455
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,040
No one could go there because it
was fenced off and there would 

456
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,080
be plenty of food for it to 
survive. 

457
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,400
I had a fairly close knit 
family. 

458
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,440
My father's brother, my uncle 
had mental issues. 

459
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,360
I never knew what the actual 
diagnosis was and I never really

460
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:18,840
asked because it seemed to be a 
sensitive subject. 

461
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,920
We just didn't talk about it. 
There were times that my uncle 

462
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,920
was OK, but they were short 
lived. 

463
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,600
Mainly he was quiet and Moody. 
He would stare off into space 

464
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,440
for long periods and he never 
left the house, even for 

465
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,160
doctor's appointments. 
The doctor always came to our 

466
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,200
house. 
Sadly, my uncle died one night 

467
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,040
in his sleep. 
They figured it was a heart 

468
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,640
attack. 
Still no one talked about his 

469
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,640
affliction as grandma called it.
As the year slipped by, my 

470
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,920
family got smaller and smaller. 
Then my father passed away, 

471
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,680
leaving just me and my mum. 
I'm now married and have a son. 

472
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,240
One day I went over to see my 
mum for Sunday dinner and my 

473
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,520
wife just came out with it and 
asked mum what was wrong with 

474
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,000
uncle. 
She told her that I had some 

475
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,240
memories of him being normal and
then he had completely changed. 

476
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:09,120
The subject was so taboo to 
discuss that my eyes nearly 

477
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:12,160
popped out of my head. 
I was super nervous about what 

478
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,240
she would say. 
My mum was silent for about two 

479
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,520
minutes. 
She was deep in thought and I 

480
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,440
kept saying mum it's OK, you 
don't have to talk about it. 

481
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:23,960
Then she said she didn't mind 
saying it, but she needed to 

482
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,480
speak carefully because for 
years the whole family believed 

483
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,720
that there would be retribution 
for saying anything. 

484
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,120
She also said that she would 
speak about it now because she 

485
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:36,960
lived in an apartment in town. 
We were listening but we were 

486
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,240
highly confused so we just let 
her speak. 

487
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,960
She said 35 years earlier her 
brother-in-law, my uncle and two

488
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,520
of his friends went to the back 
of grandma and grandpa's 

489
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,520
property to go hunting. 
They left very early when it was

490
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,160
still dark out. 
They walked for miles till they 

491
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,880
found a good spot. 
Mum stopped and specified this 

492
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,560
is what uncle told the family 
before he lost his mind. 

493
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,680
They found a good opening so 
they separated about 30 feet or 

494
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,240
so from each other facing into 
an open field. 

495
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,200
They could still see each other 
though so after about an hour 

496
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,880
they saw a doe pop in out of the
woods across from them. 

497
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,640
Uncle was the middleman, so he 
put his hand up to say wait. 

498
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,200
Then all three noticed a very 
hairy man about 7 feet tall 

499
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,840
standing at the edge of the 
woods staring at the doe. 

500
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,880
Then they noticed another giant 
man standing at the other side 

501
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,840
of the doe just inside the wood 
line. 

502
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,280
All three men were mesmerized 
staring at these huge creatures.

503
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,880
Then like a shot, the doe was 
scared into the field from 

504
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,640
behind and the two creatures 
came in from the sides. 

505
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,880
Within moments they had chased 
the doe down and ripped it 

506
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,280
apart. 
The first one grabbed the back 

507
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,440
legs and the second one grabbed 
it by the neck and twisted its 

508
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,640
head around backwards. 
One of my uncle's friends seemed

509
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,520
to lose his mind and began 
shooting. 

510
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,280
That's when the forest erupted 
and more creatures came out from

511
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,760
everywhere, so the three men 
took off running back towards 

512
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,760
the way they came. 
When things started calming down

513
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,520
the men stopped to take a break 
and with no warning a creature 

514
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,360
stepped out from behind the tree
and grabbed one of the men by 

515
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:15,480
the throat with one hand and 
then twisted with the other. 

516
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,480
And then the God awful sound it 
made as the man's head popped 

517
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,320
right off. 
Apparently it took mere seconds 

518
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,520
so the other two lit out, 
dodging and running as fast as 

519
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,400
they could. 
Finally they could see 

520
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,960
granddad's field and dirt Rd. 
that went around the farm. 

521
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,720
They were exhausted and 
distraught from seeing their 

522
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,400
friend's death. 
There was just a bit further to 

523
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,240
go when the other friend stopped
and said he was going to kill 

524
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,840
the next one that came out of 
the woods. 

525
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,680
Uncle begged and pleaded with 
him to just come with him, they 

526
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,240
would go after them. 
Another time. 

527
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,400
Uncle looked up and saw another 
creature step out of the woods. 

528
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,920
This one was huge, about 10 feet
tall. 

529
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,240
Uncle started screaming for his 
friend to come, but his friend 

530
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,880
kneeled down and started 
shooting. 

531
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,600
Uncle said he heard the shots 
hit their mark, but nothing 

532
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,040
stopped this massive creature. 
And then the shooting stopped. 

533
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,240
Uncle turned in time to see 
another friend lose his life the

534
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,480
same way his first friend did. 
Uncle made his way into the 

535
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,120
house and fell to the floor. 
Seeing this, Granddad grabbed 

536
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,360
his gun, but Uncle refused to 
let him go. 

537
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,120
They called the police and when 
they arrived, Uncle had already 

538
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,680
lost his mind. 
Grandma and Grandpa had to tell 

539
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,120
the police what their son had 
said. 

540
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,680
The police waited for backup and
a search party. 

541
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,680
They found both men as Uncle 
said they were decapitated, but 

542
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,400
they never found their heads. 
The police believe Uncle had 

543
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,400
mistaken what he had seen and 
said it was either a bear or a 

544
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,680
Mountain Lion. 
I asked why no one had spoken of

545
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,320
it, even if Uncle wasn't around.
Mom said every time they did 

546
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,000
speak about it, either they or 
their livestock would get 

547
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,320
attacked. 
They believe these creatures 

548
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,800
could somehow hear them. 
So I asked what kind of things 

549
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,600
would happen and she said they 
would run around the house all 

550
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,440
night long, keeping them awake 
and scaring them the whole 

551
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,440
night. 
They would scream and pound on 

552
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,920
their walls. 
The dogs would get killed or 

553
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,560
pigs or chickens would be 
stolen. 

554
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,040
Uncle would become so scared 
he'd shake for days on end. 

555
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,440
My wife and I looked at each 
other like maybe we shouldn't 

556
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,720
have opened this can of worms. 
We were so happy that we waited 

557
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,160
to ask because we owned the farm
after dad died because it was 

558
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,520
too much for mum, but we sold 
the old homestead three years 

559
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,720
earlier and bought a house in 
the suburbs. 

560
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,480
When we got home later that 
night, I let our dog out to the 

561
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,640
backyard for a pee. 
I went to let him in after about

562
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,920
20 minutes or so, but he was 
gone. 

563
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,160
I went to search and I noticed 
the gate was left open. 

564
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,320
I searched for more than a week,
put up posters and still haven't

565
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,280
found him. 
My mum is blaming herself for 

566
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:59,160
speaking on it. 
I don't believe it, since I was 

567
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,960
a kid my family would spend 2 
weeks out of the year in 

568
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,160
Utterson. 
ON the campsite was Forest Rock 

569
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,800
Camp and our cabin was placed 
about 50 feet in the Bush from 

570
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,040
other cabins. 
One night about two AMI was 

571
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,120
awakened by a sneeze, a very 
deep sneeze and a garbagey 

572
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,720
skunk, rotten meat, wet dog 
smell. 

573
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,080
My bed was about 8 feet from the
window as it was very hot out. 

574
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,520
My mom had the windows open. 
What I'm about to tell you is 

575
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,000
the truth. 
I swear on my life something 

576
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,280
walked into my window almost 
totally blocking the moonlight 

577
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,360
and looked in it. 
It had the head the size of a 

578
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,520
cow but looked like a monkey. 
A man monkey. 

579
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,240
I remember whimpering and my 
mother getting up. 

580
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,800
It must have hurt her because it
disappeared. 

581
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,640
I told her what I saw and she 
laughed and she said it was just

582
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,720
a deer or a cow. 
I never forgot that night. 

583
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,440
Now, years later when talking to
my father, whose parents owned 

584
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,000
the camp, told me something I'll
never forget. 

585
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,840
I asked him what scared him most
in life, you know, being in the 

586
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,560
war or the OPP, which is the 
Ontario Provincial Police. 

587
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,600
What he told me shocked me. 
It was about 1936 and him and 

588
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,600
his brother Roy were picking do 
worms on the edge of a thick 

589
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,200
brush. 
Dad said he heard a grunt and 

590
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,360
some rustling, so he shone his 
Lantern into the brush and a 

591
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,840
giant hairy man walked away. 
Sorry, but that's all I could 

592
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,160
get out of him. 
He was trembling while telling 

593
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:31,800
the story. 
Hi, I'd like to share an 

594
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,320
encounter my family had in West 
Virginia on a remote highway 

595
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,360
late at night many, many years 
ago. 

596
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,160
I'd forgotten about this story, 
being in the military for so 

597
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,240
long and raising a family of my 
own. 

598
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,280
Many years ago when my brother 
was serving in the US Air Force,

599
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:52,760
he came home on leave from Italy
to Huntington, WV one evening. 

600
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,560
He and his wife were driving in 
the lead vehicle and my parents 

601
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,160
were driving in the second 
vehicle. 

602
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,640
They were all driving on a 
fairly new highway in the 

603
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,800
mountains late at night and 
heading to see my sister who 

604
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,960
teaches in a small town called 
Buchanan, West Virginia. 

605
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,480
Somewhere near Stonewall Jackson
State Park. 

606
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,400
They saw someone walking on the 
outside of the guardrail, 

607
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,120
heading the same direction with 
its back towards them. 

608
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,520
It was extremely tall, broad 
shouldered, dark, and walking 

609
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,960
along the side of the road. 
This was long before cell phones

610
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,760
so both vehicles continue to 
their destination. 

611
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,160
Immediately upon arriving, my 
brother jumped out of the 

612
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,920
vehicle and asked my parents if 
they had seen something. 

613
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,280
All confirmed a visual and I 
believe they were just trying to

614
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:40,000
register what it was. 35 years 
passed and I never thought about

615
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,120
it. 
I completed my 20 years of 

616
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,280
active duty in the military but 
continued serving in another 

617
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,720
way. 
I was visiting my parents for 

618
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,200
Christmas leave three years ago 
and sadly mum was losing her 

619
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,440
battle with cancer. 
Early one morning I read 

620
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,120
something and it triggered the 
memory so I brought up the topic

621
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,600
and I asked her to talk about 
it. 

622
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,240
She repeated the story and said 
it was dark. 

623
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,680
The events happened quickly but 
the thing that stuck in her mind

624
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,719
was the massive soles of the 
bare feet as the headlights 

625
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,159
illuminated it. 
She said the length of the arm 

626
00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:13,520
swinging as it walked also stuck
in her mind. 

627
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,440
I stared at my mum to see if she
was pulling my leg, but it was 

628
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,440
apparent that she was being 
truthful and her eyes were 

629
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,360
pleading for me to accept her 
story. 

630
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,960
Then I told her that was pretty 
cool because I've never met 

631
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,920
someone who had seen a Bigfoot. 
My mum was an amazing woman and 

632
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,719
I have no doubt she was telling 
the truth. 

633
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:35,440
I believe they may have shared 
their story with others and had 

634
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,360
been laughed at so they buried 
it. 

635
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:41,080
My father had never mentioned 
anything about it, but last 

636
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,320
summer I got him to open up a 
little bit and he repeated the 

637
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,520
same story but said that the 
gate and size were what stuck 

638
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,120
with him. 
He described movement that 

639
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,960
reminds me of the old grainy 
video from that Bigfoot sighting

640
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,239
long ago. 
Thanks Anonymous. 

641
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,200
Hey everyone, I just want to 
remind you that my written books

642
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,640
and audiobooks are available and
the links are all in the 

643
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,600
description below. 
If you enjoyed these stories and

644
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,160
want to help support the show, 
picking up a copy really helps 

645
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,080
and is greatly appreciated. 
Thank you. 

646
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,960
This is my story and this is how
it happened in March and April 

647
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,160
of 2020. 
The world is on lockdown but 

648
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,840
some of us need to get out of 
the house. 

649
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,600
I'm retired and receive 
supplemental income after some 

650
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,680
injuries when I was younger, but
I've always been the adventurous

651
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,120
type in the family. 
While the world is on lockdown 

652
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,520
and people are acting like fools
over toilet paper, I had plans 

653
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,080
of my own fresh fish for the 
supper table. 

654
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,720
My cousin and his son came over.
Yep, we weren't social 

655
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:45,320
distancing. 
We took my side by side and made

656
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,240
a run to the river. 
The area is a wildlife 

657
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:51,160
management area and I went where
my cousin told me to drive. 

658
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,280
We ended up way down some long 
forgotten logging roads beyond 

659
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,080
where the planted trees stopped.
I asked him how the heck did he 

660
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,160
find this spot and he said he 
had walked in in the previous 

661
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,600
deer season while scouting. 
It was well over a mile through 

662
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,440
some of the roughest terrain 
South Georgia can offer. 

663
00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:12,120
There were some spots that made 
me feel real nervous as the four

664
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,960
wheel drive buggy would get 
sideways and would slip into the

665
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,400
old Skitterruts. 
We finally made it to our 

666
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,640
destination. 
I parked the buggy in a small 

667
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,120
Grove of maples and we proceeded
to hike down a well used path to

668
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,840
the riverbank. 
This point was tricky. 

669
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,240
I have a bum leg and I use a 
cane. 

670
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,600
The river had recently been into
the bank, so there was slick 

671
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,200
black mud everywhere. 
After a bit of floundering, I 

672
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,960
managed to keep my footing and 
set up a small hunting stool 

673
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,680
that I had carried over my 
shoulder. 

674
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,680
We sat about 50 feet apart along
the bank. 

675
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,040
The kid was between us. 
Me and my cousin were talking 

676
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,600
loud so that we could hear each 
other. 

677
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,400
The black water was swift and 
nothing but occasional bowfin, 

678
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,520
or mudfish as we call them. 
We're willing to steal our bait.

679
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,560
We were laughing about something
or other when I suddenly got the

680
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,160
feeling that an animal was near.
I've haunted my whole life and 

681
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,520
I've logged countless hours 
alone in the woods, so it's just

682
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,000
a feeling, a sensation, 
something is there. 

683
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:13,040
My cousin is a hunter too and 
noticed immediately and told his

684
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,200
son to hush so as to let me 
focus. 

685
00:37:16,240 --> 00:37:19,320
We waited in silence until what 
sounded like a screech owl down 

686
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,320
the stream to my left let out a 
shriek. 

687
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,960
Ah hell. 
I mumbled and we went back to 

688
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,480
our silly banter. 
Not long after, the squirrels up

689
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,000
in that direction started making
a lot of racket, the kind when 

690
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,520
they see something they don't 
like. 

691
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,680
It was about this time that 
nature began calling. 

692
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,960
My bladder told me that it was 
full and was in need of relief. 

693
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,640
So I got up off my stool and 
floundered for a moment until I 

694
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,680
got up that slick, muddy bank 
and went to the top of the hill.

695
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,760
I propped up next to the big 
pine and started doing my 

696
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,360
business. 
The squirrels were still making 

697
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,680
lots of noise, but I assumed it 
was either the screech owl or 

698
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,000
us. 
And then I heard a thump. 

699
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,480
It happened again, and then 
again. 

700
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,240
I finished watering the weeds 
and took a few steps further out

701
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,800
and I glanced about. 
I didn't see anything. 

702
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,640
It was a solid sound, like 
Greenwood on solid tree. 

703
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,120
Just a hard resonating sound. 
I thought it might have been a 

704
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,640
woodpecker, so I went back to my
stool and started fishing again.

705
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,920
Soon after I got the feeling 
again like I was being looked 

706
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,640
at. 
Then my cousin's son asked who 

707
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,400
farted. 
I smelled it too and I wanted to

708
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,640
say that it was a skunk to begin
with, but it wasn't as big of a 

709
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,160
smell as a skunk, if you 
understand what I mean. 

710
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,240
I told the boy it was some kind 
of methane seeping out of the 

711
00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:42,360
mud along the bank. 
Man, it was rank like sweat and 

712
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,440
body odor, but not a hot smell. 
It just stank. 

713
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,000
The breeze was coming across the
river, which isn't very wide at 

714
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,080
all. 
That funky smell and the feeling

715
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,800
of being watched. 
I expected to hear a deer blow 

716
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,160
at any time, truth be told. 
So I began looking through the 

717
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,760
trees and as I peered slowly 
from one tree to another, I saw 

718
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,760
it next to a big bell bottom 
Cypress on the far bank. 

719
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:07,040
Dark eyes. 
The hair was shaggy and unkept, 

720
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,960
dark brown or reddish around the
edges of the face. 

721
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,920
A flat looking nose. 
But what I remember most was its

722
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,600
mouth, It had as big a mouth as 
I had ever seen on anything 

723
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,440
resembling a man. 
As I locked on it, it raised up 

724
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,920
slightly and began moving its 
lips, showing some rather large 

725
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,400
canines and quick movements as 
it rolled its lips and relaxed 

726
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:33,440
them rapidly. 
I tilted my head down but kept 

727
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,720
an eye trained on it. 
I said out loud. 

728
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,760
Ah, to hell with it, ain't 
nothing biting my leg hurts. 

729
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,760
Let's get out of here and go 
find a sandwich. 

730
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,560
My cousin's son said OK. 
His daddy was staring at me 

731
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,960
intently. 
I motioned with my eyes and I 

732
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,480
shook my head slightly as he 
started to turn his head to 

733
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,200
look. 
I made a lot of noise on purpose

734
00:39:52,240 --> 00:39:54,120
and I started towards the side 
by side. 

735
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,040
I crested over the bank. 
There was a loud splash like a 

736
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,320
whole pine tree that hit the 
water and a loud and fast series

737
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,360
of sounds I had never heard 
before. 

738
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,720
The boy asked what it was and my
cousin stared at me. 

739
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,560
I told him that it must have 
been just that big horned owl. 

740
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,800
I made sure the ride out was a 
hasty one. 

741
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,240
I've seen wild boar had to sneak
off away through the bushes away

742
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:19,360
from a black bear sow with Cubs 
too. 

743
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,840
And I've seen a couple of 
Cougars in the region. 

744
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,320
But that was the first time in a
long time that I was actually 

745
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,360
scared. 
Later that day, after we made it

746
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,360
back to my house, my cousin 
asked me while his son was out 

747
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,920
of earshot, what the hell was 
that thing? 

748
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,800
I looked at him and just 
shrugged. 

749
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,760
I told him I guess it was a 
Sasquatch. 

750
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,240
I really didn't know. 
I can still see that face 

751
00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:44,760
peering the way it was moving 
its lips. 

752
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,840
The head was slimmer at the 
brow, but the jaw was wider than

753
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,120
the brow. 
The skin around the nose and the

754
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,880
cheeks looked like tan buckskin 
small ears that were close to 

755
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,560
the sides of the head. 
I seriously doubt I'll go that 

756
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,320
far down in there again by 
myself. 

757
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,520
I'm not afraid of the woods. 
I'm just more alert since that 

758
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,120
day. 
Stephen. 

759
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,520
My name is Jake and my encounter
goes all the way back to when I 

760
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,440
was about 12 years old in 
Greenfield, TN, which is a small

761
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,560
town in the northwest portion of
the state. 

762
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,160
When I was growing up, I would 
spend a great deal of my time 

763
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,600
playing out in the woods. 
This one time, which is when I 

764
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,120
had my encounter, I was walking 
along the sand creeks, as I 

765
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,920
often did. 
These creeks run for miles and 

766
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,480
miles through the woods, and I 
was probably about a mile out 

767
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,920
from my house. 
Anyway, I was alone and walking 

768
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,320
around a bend when I thought I 
saw a bear. 

769
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,160
I'd never seen a bear out there,
nor had I ever heard of any 

770
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:45,720
being in the area, so I was 
really shocked to see it after I

771
00:41:45,720 --> 00:41:48,360
walked around the bend. 
I was probably 50 feet from it, 

772
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,120
which being a kid with no 
experience with bears, I figured

773
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,200
I was at a safe distance, so I 
stood there to watch it. 

774
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,840
I quickly realized that it had a
deer underneath it and it had 

775
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,200
appeared to be eating it, 
although it had its back to me 

776
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:04,960
and I really couldn't tell what 
it was doing. 

777
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:10,000
After watching it for about 20 
seconds I realized it had arms 

778
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,920
and was pulling the deer apart 
and right as I realized that 

779
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,640
this thing stood up and I knew 
then that this thing was not a 

780
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,640
bear at all. 
I immediately took off running 

781
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,840
back to my house and never told 
anyone this encounter until now.

782
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:27,400
I never saw its face or anything
because it had its back to me 

783
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,880
the whole time, but it certainly
wasn't a bear and it certainly 

784
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,040
wasn't a man. 
It was probably around 7 feet 

785
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,040
tall or so and had jet black 
hair. 

786
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,720
Actually, at the time I didn't 
even think that I had seen a 

787
00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:42,080
Sasquatch. 
I went years thinking there was 

788
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,040
some kind of monster living in 
the woods and didn't tell anyone

789
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,560
out of fear of being ridiculed. 
I have gone back into those 

790
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,240
woods since then, although I 
never went back to that 

791
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:54,160
location. 
I never saw anything again 

792
00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:56,480
though. 
I was always uneasy after that. 

793
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,480
Fast forward a few years, I 
ended up joining the army and 

794
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,640
became homeless after I got out 
of the service due to losing 

795
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,240
everything during a tornado. 
I then began walking between 

796
00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:11,080
towns to look for work, but I 
wasn't having much luck at 

797
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,560
finding work. 
However, I realized walking and 

798
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,960
sleeping under the stars seemed 
to be helping with my PTSD. 

799
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,920
So I decided to walk across 
America to see if any 

800
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,920
opportunities would arise. 
As well as being my kind of 

801
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,800
therapy alone and unsupported. 
I spent the next three years 

802
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,360
travelling on foot from 
Tennessee to Delaware, to 

803
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,560
California, to Florida, to 
Alaska, back to Florida and back

804
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,520
to California again. 
During that time I had what I 

805
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,480
believe to be two other 
encounters. 

806
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,880
I never saw anything during 
those two encounters, but I did 

807
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,640
have rocks thrown at me and 
heard sticks banging against 

808
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,280
trees. 
One of those times was near 

809
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,280
Silver Creek, Ms. and the other 
just north of Rumsey, CA. 

810
00:43:55,240 --> 00:44:01,920
Thanks Jake. 
My name is Jason and I was in 

811
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,160
the Boundary Water Canoe area in
Minnesota near the Trout Lake 

812
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,040
area. 
We had canoes in a spot to camp 

813
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,960
for a few days and it was an 
area and a campsite we had 

814
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,120
camped at before. 
On the first night we were 

815
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,000
hearing chopping sounds. 
It sounded like someone cutting 

816
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,440
a tree with an axe. 
It was fairly confusing because 

817
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:25,000
it was pitch black around 10:30 
PM, but also not unheard of. 

818
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,240
What was more peculiar to us, 
myself and my brothers, was that

819
00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:32,600
the chopping noise would happen 
in one spot and then a ways away

820
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,280
in another area, the chopping 
sound would happen again. 

821
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,520
We heard this in four different 
specific spots and it went on 

822
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,360
for a solid hour or more. 
We went to sleep and woke up the

823
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,720
next day and fished and swam and
just relaxed. 

824
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,840
We hadn't seen any other groups 
of campers in the area we were 

825
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,160
at all day, and the other two 
widely used sites on the lake 

826
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,240
were empty. 
Later that night, after dark 

827
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:57,840
again, while sitting around the 
fire, we heard the chopping 

828
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,080
noise again. 
In the years that we had gone up

829
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,240
there, we had never heard this 
before, let alone two nights in 

830
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:06,760
a row. 
Then we heard a huge splash in 

831
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,560
the water kind of back behind 
us. 

832
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,000
We were camping on a small point
on the lake. 

833
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,360
We suspected a Beaver or 
something more normal. 

834
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,040
Then about a minute after that 
splash we heard something flying

835
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,920
through the trees and landing 
with a thud near us. 

836
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,040
This happened 4 times and so we 
got up and looked and found a 

837
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,280
good sized rock about the size 
of a softball had been thrown at

838
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,680
us. 
Not thinking this was a funny 

839
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,920
joke we got up and walked in the
direction the rocks seem to be 

840
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,440
thrown from. 
We were on a bit of an edge 

841
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,960
because we were in the middle of
nowhere and the large rocks were

842
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,040
being tossed at us at a pretty 
good distance. 

843
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,240
We walked to the main shoreline 
behind us near the splashing 

844
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:48,520
sound and we came face to face 
with a large Sasquatch. 

845
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,600
Our flashlights caught its eye 
glow 1st and it was a light red 

846
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:56,440
eye shine unlike any eye shine 
I've ever seen, and its eyes 

847
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,520
were about the size of a closed 
fist. 

848
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,080
It stood at the edge of this 
clearing about 35 to 45 yards 

849
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:09,000
from where we stood. 
It was tall on 2 feet and very 

850
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,040
dark. 
Since we only had flashlights, I

851
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,800
can't really tell you the full 
texture of its hair, but you 

852
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:19,320
could tell it was hair covered. 
As soon as our eyes met, it let 

853
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,080
out a loud, guttural, deep 
sounding scream. 

854
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:25,960
It was a kind of sound that just
vibrates your whole body and it 

855
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,360
turned and walked away. 
As it did, it reached parallel 

856
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,480
to his body and snapped a tree 
of a three to four inches thick 

857
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:36,440
like it was a twig. 
This was a live tree, not dead, 

858
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,880
and it would have to have crazy 
strength to snap it that way. 

859
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,160
And it moved through the brush 
quickly, but not running much 

860
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:47,000
quicker than any of us could. 
When it got about 50 to 60 yards

861
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,560
back, it yelled again. 
But this time four others yelled

862
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,240
back in four different spots 
around the lake. 

863
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,600
That yell is still so haunting 
to me. 

864
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,320
I can tell you this thing was as
real as you and me. 

865
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,560
And after those yells, the 
entire woods went silent like 

866
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,560
I've never heard silence before.
We were left alone for the rest 

867
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:10,800
of the night. 
After a very scary and restless 

868
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,760
night, we packed up and cut our 
trip short and left. 

869
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,880
I've not been back to the 
boundary water since. 

870
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,200
Now I am a hunter and fairly 
knowledgeable outdoorsman and I 

871
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,800
have nothing that can explain 
what I was looking at that 

872
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,920
night. 
From the edge of the clearing it

873
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,560
was tall, I'd say 9 feet tall 
and very wide and thick. 

874
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,680
Mind you, we didn't have 
anything to measure so that 

875
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,800
could not be a full accurate 
guess on the height. 

876
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,720
It was hair covered and walked 
on 2 feet. 

877
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,560
It had a sort of human face but 
more like a gorilla. 

878
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,680
Not the same mind you, but 
definitely like a cross between 

879
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,560
human and gorilla. 
And his face was the only part 

880
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,480
of its body not covered by hair.
I'd say the encounter was only 

881
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,920
four to five seconds. 
It all happened so quick but I 

882
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,440
have 0 doubt on what I saw and 
all three of us saw the same 

883
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,120
thing. 
My brothers don't and won't 

884
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,400
really talk about it and I'm 
more open about it but man it's 

885
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,240
still ingrained in my head so 
much. 

886
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,440
I still do take part in hunting 
and camping but I'm a bit more 

887
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,560
weary now for sure. 
I don't feel like anything we 

888
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,600
experienced was dangerous 
really. 

889
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:20,640
More curiosity I guess but I 
probably still won't go back to 

890
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,080
the boundary waters. 
We did report it but no one 

891
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,800
really believed us so we just 
kept it to ourselves. 

892
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,480
There is a stigma with folks 
that have these claims. 

893
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,080
I was nine years old, it was 
1972. 

894
00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:42,320
I've carried this memory with me
my entire life, shared the story

895
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,080
with a few people and talked 
about it with Mum and now 

896
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,960
finally with Dad. 
Of all the people that were 

897
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,280
there that day that could 
remember, it's now just me and 

898
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,440
my dad. 
My younger brother and sister 

899
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,520
were too young, they don't 
remember that day. 

900
00:48:55,240 --> 00:48:58,880
My grandparents have passed and 
so as my older brother Rick, Mum

901
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,000
passed away in 2022 at 92 years 
old. 

902
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,960
Dad will be 81 this year and is 
very healthy. 

903
00:49:05,720 --> 00:49:08,880
All these years have gone by and
I finally decided to talk to my 

904
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,960
dad about this memory. 
When I asked him about it, he 

905
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,480
says he remembers very clearly. 
So I asked him if he wanted to 

906
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,560
hear my memory of it or if he 
wanted to tell me what he 

907
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,120
remembers first and he told me 
go ahead and tell first. 

908
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:27,480
Afterwards he told me I was 100%
spot on and he actually added a 

909
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,400
bit to the story from his 
perspective and what he saw up 

910
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,240
in The Cave. 
When I got into my teens and as 

911
00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:36,680
a young adult and hearing 
stories about Sasquatch, I knew 

912
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,920
then and I know now for a fact 
that what we saw was a 

913
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,880
Sasquatch. 
Here's the story. 

914
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,640
I spoke with my dad a few days 
ago and I asked him if we could 

915
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,840
talk about the day that we all 
saw a Sasquatch, if we could 

916
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,720
share our recollection with each
other, and he said sure. 

917
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,400
I asked him if he wanted to 
share first or if I should, and 

918
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,640
he told me to go first. 
I was nine years old at the 

919
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,120
time, and this was my 
recollection of that day. 

920
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,360
My entire childhood was spent 
outdoors, playing and camping. 

921
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,120
Mum and Dad took us kids camping
all our entire lives, and we've 

922
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,400
camped and played in the 
mountains and deserts through 

923
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,400
the rest of our lives. 
On weekends that we weren't 

924
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,680
camping, we were going for 
scenic drives through the 

925
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:22,080
canyons or deserts, and Mum and 
Dad would look for new places to

926
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,440
camp. 
My grandparents and older 

927
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,480
brother Rick lived in Southern 
California. 

928
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,360
They had drove here to Utah for 
a week visit. 

929
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,840
It was a warm sunny day. 
This particular day we went for 

930
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,800
a ride to show them the 
beautiful mountains. 

931
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,400
We all piled into the family 
station wagon. 

932
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,760
It was 1972. 
This was many years before 

933
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,200
people started building and 
developing in this Canyon. 

934
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:52,280
Very beautiful narrow Canyon, a 
little two way Canyon Road and 

935
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,800
cliffs on the east side and more
rugged steep mountain land on 

936
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,320
the West side of the road. 
We were driving north. 

937
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,920
It seems like it was around 
noontime when all of a sudden 

938
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,360
one of the adults in the car 
seen a giant bird land on top of

939
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:06,960
a Cliff on the east side of the 
road. 

940
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,640
Everyone was scrambling to look 
out the windows. 

941
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,960
Dad pulled off the side of the 
road and stopped the car so he 

942
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:14,680
could marvel at this giant 
eagle. 

943
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:17,960
There was a cave structure down 
and to the left of where the 

944
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,320
eagle had landed and there it 
was. 

945
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,760
There was a long shaggy haired 
creature standing in front of 

946
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,560
The Cave. 
It stood there. 

947
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,760
It was standing there looking 
down at us. 

948
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,160
It stood like a man on 2 legs 
but kind of hunched. 

949
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:35,200
Big head, no neck, heavy big 
shoulders, long arms. 

950
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,040
It was completely covered with 
golden brown rust colored shaggy

951
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,200
hair. 
I was looking at it from a 

952
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:45,120
distance but I could tell it had
long shaggy hair, not fur. 

953
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,960
I remember its arms hung down 
much lower than normal, like by 

954
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:52,040
its knees, and I remember it 
swinging its arms as it stood 

955
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,520
there looking at us, like maybe 
it was nervous. 

956
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,880
It was too far to see any facial
details at the time, excitedly 

957
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:01,920
talking. 
We all knew it definitely was 

958
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,760
not a bear. 
And my brother, who was 24 years

959
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,480
old at the time, Grandfather and
dad we're talking about maybe it

960
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,960
was a man in a costume, but what
would he be doing up there in a 

961
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:16,840
costume? 
I remember the adults talking 

962
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,760
back and forth rapidly and 
questioning what we were looking

963
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,040
at. 
My older brother and dad quickly

964
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,040
decided they were going to hike 
up the hillside to get a better 

965
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,720
look. 
I remember my mum getting 

966
00:52:27,720 --> 00:52:30,720
nervous as my dad and brother 
headed up the hillside towards 

967
00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:33,320
the Cliff. 
The Sasquatch started pacing 

968
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,120
back and forth in front of The 
Cave like it didn't know what to

969
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:38,240
do with the two men coming up 
the hillside. 

970
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,960
Its arms hanging longer than a 
person's, were swinging back and

971
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,920
forth in a strange motion, maybe
like an ape. 

972
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,920
It seemed nervous and paced back
and forth in front of The Cave 

973
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,760
on the ledge. 
My mum was starting to call out 

974
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,880
to dad to come back and she 
started going into panic mode. 

975
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,240
My dad and brother got up to the
ledge where the Sasquatch had 

976
00:52:58,240 --> 00:53:00,960
been standing. 
The Sasquatch had gone somewhere

977
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,040
out of our view. 
At this point mum had gone 

978
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,160
hysterical and frantically 
shovelled us kids back into the 

979
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,120
car. 
She was screaming at my dad and 

980
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,840
my brother to get back to get 
down off the hillside. 

981
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,520
Mum got in the driver's seat and
started driving. 

982
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,040
Mum was inching down the road 
ready to step on the gas if that

983
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,040
creature came out of the ravine 
after us. 

984
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:24,320
She was truly terrified. 
I was looking out the window 

985
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,720
extremely worried about leaving 
my dad and brother. 

986
00:53:27,720 --> 00:53:31,120
Now at that point they were 
scrambling down the hillside and

987
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,840
when they made it to the road 
they were waving their arms and 

988
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:37,760
yelling at mum to stop the car. 
Finally she did and dad got in 

989
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,760
behind the wheel and my brother 
got in the car and we drove off.

990
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,080
This is the description I gave 
dad during our conversation. 

991
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,000
I asked him if he had anything 
to add to this episode. 

992
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:52,760
He says I was 100% spot on. 
He did say yes, that he did have

993
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:57,800
a couple things to add. 
Dad said when they got to the 

994
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,960
ledge and cave where the 
Sasquatch was standing, he said 

995
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,080
the bird nest was up on the top 
of a Cliff they couldn't get to 

996
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,120
so they turned their attention 
to The Cave. 

997
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,920
He said it wasn't a deep cave, 
just an alcove where you could 

998
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:11,600
be protected from the sun or 
rain. 

999
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,160
He said they saw a pile of bones
in The Cave. 

1000
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,480
He said they looked like animal 
leg bones. 

1001
00:54:17,240 --> 00:54:19,720
He told me he didn't want to 
exaggerate but there was at 

1002
00:54:19,720 --> 00:54:23,000
least a pile of eight or 9 
bones, no hair or meat, 

1003
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,240
completely cleaned off bones and
they were lined up in a pile. 

1004
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,520
Dad recalls my brother Rick 
saying I think mum is leaving 

1005
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,720
us. 
Dad looked down to where the car

1006
00:54:32,720 --> 00:54:35,480
was parked and could see mum was
slowly driving away. 

1007
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,480
So that's when they scrambled 
down the hillside waving their 

1008
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:43,240
arms for Mum to stop the car. 
Dad says we continued on our 

1009
00:54:43,240 --> 00:54:46,440
scenic drive over and around the
mountain and we stopped in a 

1010
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,040
nearby town at a little cafe to 
have a bite to eat. 

1011
00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:53,160
He said my grandfather was so 
exhilarated at what we had just 

1012
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,320
witnessed that he started up a 
conversation in the Cafe with a 

1013
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,600
few locals describing the 
creature or Bigfoot we saw. 

1014
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,680
Dad said we had to hurry our 
lunch and get out of there 

1015
00:55:02,720 --> 00:55:05,720
because the locals were not 
accepting the story and started 

1016
00:55:05,720 --> 00:55:09,360
ridiculing and laughing at my 
grandfather calling him a crazy 

1017
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:13,280
old man. 
That's my story, thanks. 

1018
00:55:15,720 --> 00:55:18,960
Thanks for listening everyone. 
Don't forget my books are all 

1019
