2
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:33.719
how are you buddy doing?

3
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:34.159
Good man?

4
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:38.920
How are you good? Welcome to broadcasting seeds. Can you

5
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:45.280
tell my audience, our audience, the audience, who you are

6
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:46.119
and what you do?

7
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:51.880
Right? My name is Rod Nichols, and I founded Bear

8
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:58.640
County Bigfoot around twenty eighteen, around March twenty eighteen and

9
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.359
started off just as like a lot of other people, did,

10
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.799
you know, growing up, Patterson Giblin film was just kind

11
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.040
of the cornerstone of for me. And then you know,

12
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.280
watching In Search of Leonard deed More, in search of

13
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:20.760
you know, and unsolved mysteries, you know, you know, anything

14
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.560
that was high strangeness, you know, that was just kind

15
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:28.599
of what I was into. Now. The main thing for

16
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:35.079
me was Bigfoot, Lockness, monster, the yetty things like that.

17
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:39.439
But you know, going into that as a young guy,

18
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.519
I had bought books at the book fair, you know,

19
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:49.400
elementary school. Yeah, you know, I was money, yeah, and

20
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.359
and I was there buying all that stuff, you know,

21
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:57.239
And I and I tell everybody this, I think I

22
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.799
think from the get go, and it's kind of funny people,

23
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:01.840
it's well, how do you know, I know, it's something.

24
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.879
I just kind of just felt like I knew about

25
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.599
these creatures. I knew them to be to be real.

26
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.199
I I from from from day one when when I discovered,

27
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.120
you know, that there were sightings of a of a

28
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.319
hairy biped out there, whether it was in Bluff Creek

29
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.800
or you know, Upper Washington State or you know, wherever

30
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:26.599
the case was. I you know, it wasn't hesitation to go. Nah,

31
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:31.000
there's no way. I always felt like I was a

32
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.400
believer from a young guy. And granted I do, I

33
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.000
wasn't a researcher, you know. I I you know, I read,

34
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.800
you know, my little books that with whatever my little

35
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:44.240
mind could comprehend at the time. Uh. But also that

36
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.919
that kind of traveled into learning about primates. You know.

37
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:54.000
I was a big, big, big supporter of the Mountain Guerrillas. Uh.

38
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.680
Diane Fosse Uh. Jane Jane Goodall was another one with

39
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.599
the chimps. But Diane Fosse, I think was was was

40
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.039
the one that really just opened my mind a lot

41
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:09.439
into conservation about these wonderful, beautiful animals and quite frank,

42
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.560
I think we're cryptids themselves for a little bit before

43
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.919
they were actually discovered, because I don't think anybody believed

44
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.960
that these gorillas could could live up at higher altitudes.

45
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.919
And lo and behold they found these they found these gorillas,

46
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.919
these beautiful creatures up there, you know, thriving and living

47
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.439
and uh, you know, I don't know if you remember

48
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.120
Coco the gorilla, Remember the gorilla. So when when I

49
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.159
was young, I wrote to Coco and she wrote back

50
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.840
to me with her you know, her handler, and you

51
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:39.680
know that, and that was just amazing to me. So,

52
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:46.840
you know, I was always really into eight type creatures, primates,

53
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.280
if you will. And you know that that blossomed, you know,

54
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:53.599
you know, as a young guy. But you know, life

55
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:56.240
it's in the way you get older. You know, you

56
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.080
you get married, you start a family, and you become

57
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.919
an adult. You know, things like that, and then you know,

58
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:06.280
fast forward to my adult life, and I hurt myself

59
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.360
at work. Actually, you know, I've told this story before,

60
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:12.879
and I used to guard it because I should say

61
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.240
that I got hurt at work. And I'll tell you this.

62
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.000
I had. I had a lot of trouble with my

63
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.720
mental health, you knows, as an older guy, and you know,

64
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:23.920
and I'm not shy about it, and I'm not you know,

65
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.040
worried about people thinking I'm a weirdo or anything, because

66
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.800
I think people should be open and honest about that stuff.

67
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.639
I'll just say that. But I was putting on disability

68
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.319
and I was left with a lot of time on

69
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:42.800
my hands, and so I started binge watching, you know YouTube.

70
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.920
Of course, I went right for bigfoot, you know, and

71
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:51.519
I stumbled upon a gentleman's channel out of Utah. And

72
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:57.920
he had all these videos of his trace evidence that

73
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.600
he presented, and what he present ented were something called

74
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:06.079
wood structures, and so I had no recollection. I was

75
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.680
totally ignorant to the wood structure phenomena. I had no

76
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.000
idea what it was about. And this guy was blowing

77
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:17.759
my mind just I mean, showing us these crazy, crudely

78
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.680
built wood structures. And then he had some prints he

79
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.800
had found, and he talked about his own encounters with

80
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.240
some of these creatures up in Utah. But the wood

81
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:31.079
structures were kind of the trace evidence that he presented

82
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.240
and the methodology that he used was it made total

83
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.680
sense to me. So I binged watched all of his

84
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.319
videos one night. I think I stay up till like

85
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.600
three in the morning watching this guy's videos over and

86
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.759
over right. And then the last video he put out

87
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:53.360
was sharing how he finds these things and challenging you

88
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.360
to go out and find it for yourself, you know.

89
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:02.160
And the methodology was, Look, if you have a creek, greenway,

90
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.319
a river, anything that runs in and out of an

91
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:10.279
area where there's passage, and there's there's there's areas where

92
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:14.399
you can conceal yourself, there's plenty of vegetation, and the

93
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.759
habitat supports big game. And you've got a water source

94
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:24.480
maybe three four miles away in proximity from you know,

95
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.360
said creek or green belt or river or not river,

96
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:29.720
but that would be the water source already. But you know,

97
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.279
if you had these things and the habitat supports big game,

98
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:37.079
then you may have a recipe for some crypto activity

99
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:39.240
or find some trace evidence.

100
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.439
So what was the name of the channel? Do you remember?

101
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:47.000
Don't remember? But the gentleman's name and he has deleted

102
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:53.680
all of his his sasquatch videos. Yeah, yeah, and I'll

103
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.199
tell you. His name is Nathan Rio. He's out of

104
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:01.639
I want to say, is it Provo, Utah or one

105
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.439
of the cities. I think it was pro I'm not sure.

106
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.240
And I think the channel was Sasquatch Utah or Utah Sasquatch,

107
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.360
and since then he's talked about his experiences, but all

108
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.040
the videos that that he had presented with the trace evidence,

109
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:23.000
the wood structures and some really crazy stuff are all gone.

110
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:30.720
And I mean, talk to you know, that's a good question.

111
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.839
I don't know. I just I think it was just

112
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:38.399
kind of heartbreaking because you know, this guy really kick

113
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:41.759
started what I do now. It had it not, had

114
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.399
I not watched his videos and his channel at that time,

115
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.040
I don't think I would be here really talking to

116
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:53.199
you or having interviews or be in the field at all, because,

117
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.639
you know, to me, he presented something that was totally

118
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:02.040
totally orthodox to me because here's here's the train of

119
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:06.040
thought of I think the person that may entertain the

120
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:10.319
idea of believing in Sasquatch, well, it's up there in

121
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:14.680
Washington State or northern California and it's just one and

122
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:17.920
that's it, right, They're they're not around the US at

123
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.160
all or tenative matter. But but lo and behold, we've

124
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.959
got a thriving population. Uh, We've got And I can

125
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:28.399
say that easily because I'm listening to Encounter act Encounter

126
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:32.279
and we're talking about thousands. Okay, So you know, either

127
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.399
these people are outlining you know, thousands of people, or

128
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.960
we've got a Sasquatch problem, which I tend to believe

129
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.440
that's what we've got is saasquatch uh, the population and

130
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:46.320
problem out there, you know. So you know that that gentleman,

131
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:48.720
you know, for some reason, I guess he deleted his

132
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.440
his his stuff. But you know, you never know.

133
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:56.480
I mean, people their stories out there of you know,

134
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.360
whether I mean, I'm trying not to get conspirable, I

135
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.679
don't care conspiratorial. You know that at the end of

136
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:09.080
the day, there's there's people that I wouldn't I don't

137
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:15.600
know what I'm acquainted with that have had encounters not

138
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:19.759
just a big but with what you would call like

139
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.399
men in black not necessarily men in black, and I

140
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:29.120
say men in black, but I mean like government types

141
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:34.519
or you know whatever that have kind of like discouraged

142
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:40.039
them from digging any deeper, especially into like national forces

143
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:41.039
and things like that.

144
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:42.240
Absolutely.

145
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:49.480
Yeah, so so yeah, so and that I wonder if

146
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:55.120
this guy, because he was given seemingly good uh info

147
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.879
and intel, you know, and like what what to do

148
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:01.200
and how to find them?

149
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.840
Right, So, and here, here's the other thing is that

150
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.720
it made sense. It's yeah, perfect sense.

151
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:08.600
Right.

152
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.279
If I've got a greenway or a creek that's that

153
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:19.000
is prominent, and it provides concealment, it provides a canopy,

154
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:22.919
and it provides habitat for big game. And here we've

155
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.720
got white tail deer. You know, you've got the usual suspects.

156
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.960
You know, we've got raccoons, possums. Right, every once in

157
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:32.399
a while you hear about a mountain lion, very rare.

158
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:38.559
But nevertheless, white tail deer are are prevalent, very much so.

159
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:41.360
So I mean, and they're not being hunted in these

160
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.799
areas because we don't have public hunting land, at least

161
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:47.120
in my in my city, in my county, we don't,

162
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:49.919
you know. So these things are not being hunted by man,

163
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.200
so they're healthy, you know. And and so yeah, yeah,

164
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.000
you've got you've got a recipe for something of maybe

165
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.200
a cryptid type of high way, if you will. I

166
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.679
think that's what's happening at least in my areas.

167
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:07.440
So yeah, you definitely, I mean, because you're right outside

168
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:08.919
San Antonio.

169
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:13.320
Right, I'm in San Antonio, kind of approaching the outskirts

170
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.879
of it. Pretty much if I if I go.

171
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.559
About you have you have some sightings?

172
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.039
We do, yeah, and a lot of people don't know

173
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.519
yeah around Yeah, a lot of people kind of discredit

174
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.759
that because it's San Antonio and there's no way, you

175
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.879
know that you could have a you've got a counter,

176
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:32.679
you've got a site.

177
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.200
While it's from nineteen seventy six. But either way, there's

178
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:40.200
some more recent sightings that are out by, like Medina Lake.

179
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:44.480
Absolutely. I just talked to a gentleman. Yeah, I just

180
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.399
talked to a gentleman that was when he was thirteen

181
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.840
years old that that saw these creatures a quadruped on

182
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:55.960
on four fishing and the Medina River, you know, with

183
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:56.559
this family.

184
00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:59.679
So uh you know, so yeah, you've got I mean,

185
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:02.559
you've got at it. It seems to be you know,

186
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.480
now East Texas that's a different animal. There's a lot

187
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:07.960
of settings out there.

188
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:10.799
It's a hotbed. It's particularly the same Houston National Forest,

189
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:14.960
the big area you know, that's that's a hotbed. Absolutely.

190
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:20.799
Yeah, so like long View Angelina National Forest.

191
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:21.440
Mm hmm.

192
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.759
Yeah. So I'm looking just so everyone knows, I'm looking

193
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.360
at the big Bug Mapping project.

194
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:31.960
Oh man, that guy is awesome.

195
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:34.279
I'm having a he's going to be.

196
00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:38.480
On the podcast that Yeah, you've done right by having

197
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:42.679
him on. A brilliant guy. Uh presents a lot of

198
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:47.960
really cool evidence backed by you know, temperature and weather,

199
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.759
and I mean it's it's awesome that guy's in.

200
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.519
Fact knowledge at the same place wife, like the city

201
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.919
from he went to college in New York, so it's

202
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:02.080
well in Texas, US now though I think, thank he's

203
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.000
in Texas, I can't.

204
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.519
I don't know. Pretty sure. He sent me a hoodie

205
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.679
a big mapping project and I always wear that.

206
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.720
Yeah, he's a cool dude. I've I've texted back and

207
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:17.639
forth them to I mean, he's going to be on

208
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:21.840
the show here soon. Yeah, And I mean it was

209
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:23.919
one thing with like b r f O b f

210
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.320
r O right in their database. It's it is, it's

211
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:32.120
the starting point for anyone, and it's amazing, but this

212
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:36.279
just takes it to a whole nother level. And yeah,

213
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:44.679
we're yeah, exciting stuff. Man. So so you so okay,

214
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:49.559
So mental health gave you some time off. Yeah, I

215
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:53.320
get it. I'm a veteran. Oh, I know it's supposed

216
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.000
to my extress. I have childhood trauma. I've got the

217
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:59.600
whole thing. I'm right there with you, man. Yeah, And

218
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.480
it's the stigma. Luckily it's I think it's getting better.

219
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:08.960
That's it's not the stigma for for folks that have

220
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:12.480
issues that it used to be. I don't think so.

221
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.120
I mean, and then I was in I'm a certified

222
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.960
peer support specialist, so I help folks used to. I

223
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:26.200
don't do it anymore, but I, you know, would help

224
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:29.879
folks with mental health issues that I could do. You

225
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.559
know that that are similar to what I was going through.

226
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:38.120
And uh so I get it. And it can be crippling,

227
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:41.759
and there's good days and bad days. There's good weeks

228
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.320
and bad weeks, sometimes years, you know, and been there,

229
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:46.679
done that.

230
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:52.440
Yep. I'm happy to say that I've been med free

231
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:55.720
for a few years now because I've been able to

232
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:58.879
manage it on my own and I've learned how to

233
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:03.320
self talk. I've learned how to take care of things

234
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.279
kind of just on my own, if you will. And

235
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:10.120
I'm not going to say I'm recommended for everybody, but

236
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.320
I've kind of been through the whole cocktail of all

237
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.600
these medications and then you wait, your weight changes and

238
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.120
then all they got to change it, you know, and

239
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.720
then you know, so I've been through the whole thing,

240
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:26.080
and it's it can be very frustrating and very monotonous

241
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:31.480
and very tiring, and uh it's it sucks. So but happens.

242
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.360
I look at your Instagram page and I can see

243
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:40.240
for me it's the same. One of the things I

244
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:44.399
do is spend time in the woods and that's huge.

245
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:47.399
I see the ear quite a bit, so.

246
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:51.279
I love yeah, yeah, man, and that that really helps

247
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.399
I think me mental health wise as well.

248
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.919
Absolutely yeah, it's awesome.

249
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:02.399
Yeah, And that's part of why I think what appealed

250
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.639
to me about field research was that it got me

251
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:08.720
out and I think you'll find that when you're consistent

252
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.000
out there, consistently out there, you'll develop a little bit

253
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:16.039
better hearing, your site, your smell, I mean, everything just

254
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.200
kind of heightens and it feels good. It really does.

255
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:23.639
And even if you don't do sasquat researching, I would

256
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.639
recommend even just trying to go out and just spend

257
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:28.240
some time in nature a little bit, you know, So

258
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:32.720
it's very good for the storm's absolutely.

259
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.480
Yeah, for sure.

260
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:42.919
So encounters so well, going back to you know how

261
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:45.519
I started, I think that I think that.

262
00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:47.759
You know the woods.

263
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.879
So I asked him, folks, I asked him the question

264
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:54.399
prior to yeah, gave him. I clued him into what

265
00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.000
I was going to ask. But everyone's used to me

266
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:02.080
saying what got you into this world of of you know,

267
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:08.240
high strangeness and whatnot. And obviously his bigfoot, but absolutely.

268
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.599
Yep, that was exactly what got me in. And I

269
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.880
would have to say that, you know, watching this gentleman's

270
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.640
YouTube channel at the end showing us the methodology. I

271
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.599
went out, uh the next day to look for a

272
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:25.960
wood structure and found a wood structure on the same day,

273
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.119
and and that blew my mind because I thought it

274
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:31.519
was I thought it was a hoax. I thought people

275
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:33.400
were putting me on. I thought people were gonna come

276
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.119
out with a camera and you know it. And it

277
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.839
wasn't that way. It wasn't. And I had found that

278
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.920
not only the wood structure that that I had discovered

279
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.599
was interesting. It was an a frame structure. It had

280
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.200
some bigger pieces that were leaned up just like this

281
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.640
on a bigger on a bigger tree, and uh, inside

282
00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:59.400
the the leaves that were inside of it. I would

283
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.599
say it was probably about maybe about six feet tall

284
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:06.240
almost and it was kind of wide at the bottom,

285
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:10.480
and you know, inside the leaves that were on the

286
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:13.839
ground were very much compressed. I noticed that right away.

287
00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:17.519
It was very flat and it was It was just

288
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.440
mind blowing, and that got me started on the topography

289
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.799
of looking at my creek that had run alongside of

290
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:29.039
this wilderness park and come to find out that each

291
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.279
wilderness park that this creek was connected to with a

292
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.200
water source that was about three miles away or so,

293
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.680
and every park that I had hit had these weird

294
00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:45.519
wood structures. Now, why is that. Now. I'm not going

295
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.599
to deny that some people may do weird things. I

296
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.160
get it, But you got to understand, I've been doing

297
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:55.000
this for over seven years, and I keep tabs in

298
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:59.119
my areas morning, noon, and sometimes in the evening. I

299
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:03.799
have yet to find anybody in those areas putting something together.

300
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.039
Or if somebody had told me, well, Rod bushcraft class

301
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.000
people do bushcraft class, I said, that's that's cool. I've

302
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:13.559
seen that before. All those pieces that are that are

303
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:17.720
in a bushcraft are uniform. They're almost the same length.

304
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:24.000
There there there there is something of a uh, they're

305
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:25.920
supposed to keep up elements that's the whole point of

306
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:30.039
that bushcraft type of style of building. These wood structures

307
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:32.200
I'm talking about do not keep out rain, they don't

308
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:34.400
keep out sunlight, they don't keep out the wind. There

309
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:38.799
it looks like a caveman built them. It's very crude construction.

310
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:44.480
I never really understood why why they would, you know

311
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:44.920
what I mean?

312
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.720
Yeah, and and and that's a good question. And I

313
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:52.480
really can't answer that because I don't. I'm still searching for.

314
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.480
The same same. I no idea and I never had

315
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:58.359
anyone that had a real good answer either.

316
00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:01.160
It's no, and and maybe never find out. But here's

317
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:04.400
here's the other part of that. If you listen to

318
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:08.079
a lot of sasquatch podcast with people that are talking

319
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:13.039
about their first person encounters with the creature, sometimes you'll

320
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:15.640
you'll hear them and they'll be like, yeah, I get

321
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.240
this piece of land. It's up against this National forest,

322
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:21.079
and you know, I saw this weird looking tepee thing

323
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:23.039
on my on my property out in the woods, and

324
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:25.640
you know what it was, and oh, here comes here's

325
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:28.920
the creature. You know, it's funny that that these things

326
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:34.680
are tied together. Right, So the idea that that they

327
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.720
are utilizing these things. For whatever it may be a marker.

328
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:42.000
I don't think they live in them. I think, I think.

329
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:46.680
I'll tell you this. I think, and somebody gave me

330
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.599
some some some flack about that. But this is just

331
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.799
my theory and and I could be totally wrong. I

332
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:54.599
think some of these are maybe used for the juveniles,

333
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:57.279
the little ones, where they can put them in there

334
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:02.160
and they're concealed, they're covered up. Mom and dad or whoever,

335
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:05.880
go do the hunt, come back with the kill, pick

336
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.240
up the little one, and then back off to it.

337
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:13.000
Just like, hey, this is your playpen. You stay inside this,

338
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:16.400
and that's what this is what you do. You don't

339
00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:20.039
wander outside of here, right, you know, Well, just like

340
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:24.000
like cubs of you know, lions or whatever they Right,

341
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:27.119
they'll stash them in spots and then they'll come back

342
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:30.039
and get them later. That's good. I never really even

343
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:32.400
thought about that, but that's a good theory.

344
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:34.680
And I'll say the reason why I say that, Ben

345
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.400
is because some of these wood structures that I found,

346
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:39.680
because again that if you look at my if you

347
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.920
look at my profile, that's what I present. I kind

348
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:46.759
of I totally dubbed myself as the wood structure guy.

349
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:50.160
Because that's a trace evidence that I present, you know.

350
00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:53.079
And so now I'm looking at the type of wood?

351
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:57.279
Are they broken off? Are they saw it off? You know? How?

352
00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:00.039
What what are the sizes of these pieces? You know?

353
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:02.039
What are the length? And I can tell you when

354
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:03.559
I come up to some of these things and I'm

355
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.880
looking at a six foot seven foot wood structure teepee

356
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:09.400
and the root system is still attached to these trees,

357
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:13.799
who in their mind are a humanly? What kind of

358
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:17.039
human can pull out a tree with the root system,

359
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:20.759
a tree that's about eight inches around, pick it up

360
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:24.440
and fasten it into a tepee with other pieces that

361
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:27.400
are like sizes. Yeah, it just that just doesn't happen.

362
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.839
You know. I don't think that there's one incredibly strong

363
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:32.880
guy out there or a team of them just pulling

364
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:33.440
out trees.

365
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:38.720
So I can tell you that what what peaked my interest,

366
00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:45.680
and it actually was what was like the straw that

367
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:47.839
broke the camel's back on me reaching out to you

368
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:53.680
was the video the real that you did on Instagram

369
00:22:53.799 --> 00:23:00.599
with the like woven Uh it's probably two months ago

370
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.880
maybe you posted it, uh, but there was like this.

371
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:07.279
I wouldn't call it a structure, but there was a

372
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:12.200
like in between trees there was this stick like sculpture

373
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:16.000
almost that had like sticks woven together.

374
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:20.440
Right, Okay, you know what I'm talking about. I'm trying

375
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:22.160
to think because I I post so much.

376
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:27.920
Uh yeah, so there's is it like a like a

377
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:31.519
like a like a ceiling type of like there's an

378
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:33.759
it's woven.

379
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.039
Well there there's It looks like there was two of

380
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:38.640
them next to each other. So you had one that

381
00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:43.200
there's a big tree that had stuff leaning up against it,

382
00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:46.720
but then there was something like an egg there was

383
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:49.079
like an egg stream, but then there was something right

384
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:52.599
next to it that had like woven stuff into it.

385
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:55.559
Now the reason I say this and me and my

386
00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:02.079
research partner call it are the Blair Witch Project. It's

387
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:05.880
what we call it because literally we had a spot

388
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:09.119
and it looked very it looks very similar to the

389
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:13.160
to the woven We had a spot only about two

390
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:17.720
hundred meters from his house. Yeah, I believe, And and

391
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:21.480
we've had experiences with the with sasquatch coming up to

392
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:26.920
his house, so either way, yeah, it's crazy. But this

393
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:30.200
had it literally looked like you know the stick things

394
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.400
that were hanging from the trees and clare Witch. Yeah,

395
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:36.000
that's exactly what it was like. And we were like

396
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:40.839
what but it was it was woven sticks. Okay, it

397
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:44.240
was crazy. So I was like, this guy's dealing with

398
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:48.079
stuff like he's seeing things that that we're seeing here too.

399
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.680
So well, and so there's so here's another piece. Uh

400
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.160
there's another thing that I always tell people, like, look,

401
00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:01.519
how come I can present a wood structure sure, uh

402
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:06.160
in my area in Texas, and then somebody in upper

403
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:10.400
State New York or or or or in Oklahoma can

404
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:14.720
show me Rod, I'm finding the same things. So again,

405
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:19.279
please tell me why why we're able to correlate uh,

406
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:21.519
you know, the sizes, the style.

407
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:24.839
Yeah, we do a lot of work in Pennsylvania too,

408
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:32.640
and I we've I've walked, I've had a spot where

409
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:39.039
a structure wasn't there, mm hmm, and one evening but

410
00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:44.759
the next day it was there. So yeah, interesting it is.

411
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:50.079
So it's like, what, yeah, have you found that I

412
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:52.000
can tell you it wasn't people. I can tell you

413
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:54.960
that we were out in the middle of nowhere, I

414
00:25:55.000 --> 00:26:00.359
mean out in deep national forest.

415
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:01.440
And and you know those things when you come up

416
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:04.319
against something like that and you know you're in the

417
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:05.119
middle of nowhere.

418
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:05.799
You know what?

419
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:08.920
Who? Who? Or what? You know? And I and again

420
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.440
I always get these these answers from people that all

421
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:14.920
kids do this. Oh it's the Boy Scouts. Oh it's

422
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:15.759
Native Americans.

423
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:17.519
Oh it's And.

424
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:19.519
I've gone through all of that stuff, and I go,

425
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:22.960
number one, what teenager nowadays is going to get off

426
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:27.039
the phone, go into the woods, get off social media

427
00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:29.839
and build this stuff. It just doesn't happen anymore. Maybe

428
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:36.559
in our time, right, we just right, we build little forts.

429
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:39.680
But even then there would be some uniformity. There's a

430
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:43.000
purpose for us building these forts, right, they had a covering,

431
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.039
they had you know, these things are so crudely built.

432
00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:49.720
It's just it's amazing, like these things don't keep up ring.

433
00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:52.839
If we're talking about trying to keep elements out, these

434
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:54.880
things will do that. Because and then so then there

435
00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:58.400
goes the homeless theory. Homeless. Don't the homeless around my

436
00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:01.319
area they have tents, you know what I mean?

437
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:04.079
I mean, unless they're wrapping the tarp around it and

438
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:06.960
then taking the tar with them. What's the But what's

439
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:10.920
the point right now? You said stone circles?

440
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:15.000
What do you rock circles? Yeah? So, uh there's another

441
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.599
thing that I come up to that are connected to

442
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:21.839
the wood structures, and uh, they're rock circles, or I

443
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:25.279
call them fake fire pits. Now. Fake fire pits are

444
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:28.279
rocks that are placed in a circle, just like you

445
00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:32.039
would if you're building a fire, and whoever it is

446
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:36.359
or whatever it is, will put pieces of like kindling

447
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:39.519
if you will, pieces of bark, piece little pieces of wood,

448
00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:42.880
and they'll fashion them kind of like it's a fire.

449
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:47.960
But yet there's nothing list there's no carbon, there's no carbon,

450
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:53.400
there's nothing. And these things show up connected to these

451
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:56.160
wood structures or adjacent to them.

452
00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:58.039
They're gonna open my eyes to that.

453
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:02.920
It's it's it's a it's interesting in fact, uh a

454
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:06.559
kind of a a guy that influenced me a lot

455
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:08.480
that I don't think it's enough credit. His name is

456
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:13.160
Christopher Nowell And and he's out of Vermont. He's written

457
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:16.440
several books, uh, and he's written he's had like a

458
00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:25.759
little documentary on YouTube, oh about Rochester. I don't know

459
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:26.240
if he is.

460
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:32.480
I feel like there's one where he like a documentary

461
00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:34.960
a little bit maybe like he was out in the

462
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:38.880
woods and he was hearing Bert like them bird call

463
00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:41.039
back and forth, and I don't know if this is

464
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:41.680
the same guy.

465
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:47.920
It might it might be Christopher. He's somebody that really

466
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.039
kind of took me under his wing because he saw

467
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.640
what I was posting on a on a Facebook page

468
00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.480
that was connected to that gentleman from Utah, and so

469
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:03.400
he was like, man, you're finding some crazy stuff, like

470
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:06.240
you know, you know, let me tell you what I

471
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:09.079
find and let's compare notes. And he really and he's

472
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:12.119
actually he's the guy that gave me the first interview ever,

473
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:14.920
Like he was the one that just that got me

474
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:18.119
from from the beginning, like he helped me out a lot.

475
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:21.000
So that's a guy I think I would reach out

476
00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:25.880
to if you wanted to have another interview with somebody

477
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:29.359
that's in the field. He's he's a brilliant man, and

478
00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:33.799
he's super nice and he really he what he what

479
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:37.960
he uh, what he presents is just like head scratching.

480
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:40.240
It's like, yeah, it makes you think, like, yeah, I

481
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:42.119
mean there's some of the stuff. Yeah, I think it

482
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:43.359
might be possible.

483
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:43.200
You know.

484
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:47.960
So that's definitely somebody I would I would check out

485
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:48.359
for sure.

486
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:54.960
Have a YouTube channel called Impossible Visits. Yes, Okay, yeah,

487
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:59.519
that's that's the guy I'm talking about. Okay, Yeah, I've

488
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:04.079
been wanting to reach out to him, and frankly, I'm

489
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:08.519
so see everything serendipitous because I forgot who he was.

490
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:11.640
I remember watching videos and I haven't been able to

491
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:17.359
find this YouTube. It's so vast and once you lose stuff,

492
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:21.240
it's gone. And so this is the guy though, Yeah

493
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:22.119
I was talking about.

494
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:27.920
I think he's just he's been nothing but gracious and

495
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:30.480
amazing to me. And and he didn't have to do

496
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:34.119
what he did for me, but you know, he really

497
00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:37.119
helped me out. And I'm totally grateful to him.

498
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:40.000
Like he would sit out in the woods, like against

499
00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:40.960
a tree and like.

500
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:44.480
Yeah, it's so cool. Well they would they would throw

501
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:45.200
stuff at him.

502
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.599
Yeah, right, he would get in it. He yead thermal,

503
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:53.640
he had infrared or yeah. And I think I think

504
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:59.200
he has video of want something reaching over a log

505
00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:02.640
to pull him out pull off right. Yeah yeah, like

506
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:04.920
really compelling footage.

507
00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:08.880
I think. Just a brilliant man and an author. I

508
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:12.440
I you know, I haven't I haven't really sung his

509
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.799
praises in a while. Yeah, thanks, man, I really think

510
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:17.960
you really been looking for this guy. I know, kid,

511
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:22.400
tell me talk to me and hopefully that helps out,

512
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:23.960
you know, yeah, I.

513
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:29.880
Will for sure. That's awesome. Thanks, yeah, man, absolutely, Oh

514
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:35.319
my gosh. Yeah. So okay, so they fake fire pits.

515
00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:38.440
That's that's something I've not heard.

516
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:39.119
Which is cool.

517
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:42.079
So that's cool because I live in a place with

518
00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:46.039
a lot of stones, man like, and it's nothing to

519
00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:49.680
like walk through the woods and just see stones. But now,

520
00:31:50.599 --> 00:31:52.960
you know, you open your eyes to something, and now

521
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:55.160
I'll probably see stoneles everywhere.

522
00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:58.160
But you mind, yeah, I mean, but you never know,

523
00:31:58.920 --> 00:32:04.079
right well, if you look at again, going back to Christopher,

524
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:08.480
he has a video, a short documentary and I think

525
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:10.160
he's got some of my video on there too, of

526
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:13.680
me documenting these fake fire pits because he felt like

527
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:18.720
it was something that was important to bring up, bring

528
00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:23.160
to the forefront of of sasquatch research because people all

529
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:27.960
over the US find these fake fire pits right up

530
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:31.200
right next to you know, these wood structures, and so

531
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:34.839
again you know, again there's there's no carbon, there's no

532
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:39.039
fire lit. It's like they just simulated some type of

533
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:41.839
you know, fire pit and just left it like that.

534
00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:45.359
And it was really odd, very odd. But but you know,

535
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:47.599
there's other rock circles that I found that are giants

536
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:50.400
and maybe it's people, I'm not sure. But what the

537
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.759
crazy thing about it was that some of these and

538
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:56.640
maybe you could find the video on my profile, there's

539
00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:59.960
one I think I had posted of this rock circle

540
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:05.079
and in inside the rock circle there were various uh

541
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:09.640
uh wildlife bones, animal bones in it, and I thought,

542
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:12.200
and I thought maybe that was I felt like maybe

543
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:14.519
that was more of a witchcraft thing. I don't know,

544
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:17.680
but again I found it really interesting that it was

545
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:21.240
close in proximity to these wood structures. You know, so

546
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:24.039
again for sure, you know, I don't.

547
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:29.799
Almost like mimicry, right, but it really is, what does that?

548
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:34.920
What does that? What purpose does that a fill?

549
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:38.039
Uh? Well, I think if you really want to go

550
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:39.240
down the rabbit hole.

551
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:41.599
Or or or I do want to go down the

552
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:42.359
rabbit hole.

553
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:47.440
Quote quote crack pot theories, right, some people say that

554
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:51.839
these these circles, these rock circles are portals that they

555
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:56.160
go in and out of, and and so again, now

556
00:33:56.720 --> 00:33:59.279
I can't prove that, but this is what I've heard

557
00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:04.640
from other researchers or other people that have these theories

558
00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:08.199
of Now I am of the mindset and I used

559
00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:12.440
to subscribe. Now, there's two camps in this whole community,

560
00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:16.280
you know this, right, there's the apors and then there's

561
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:20.679
the WU, right, the WOU people. Okay, So in the beginning,

562
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:23.239
I think like maybe, like a lot of other people,

563
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:28.039
you thought it was this undiscovered primate roaming around United

564
00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:30.679
States and we haven't caught up with it. Well, if

565
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:33.280
you dig deeper into these encounters and listen to a

566
00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:36.760
lot of these interviews, you'll find that maybe that is

567
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:40.280
not the case. So, and I'll tell you this, if

568
00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:43.559
you look at now, I think the BFR has done

569
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:48.960
a wonderful job of documenting a lot of AID class A,

570
00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:53.199
class B class encounters. They've done a great job. But

571
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:55.840
I think what they omit are the people that have

572
00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:59.239
seen this creature and then afterwards they've seen this orb

573
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:03.599
yeah yeah right? Or or hey I saw the creature

574
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:06.360
and it disappeared right in front of me. Okay, what

575
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:08.199
do you do with that? You know what I mean?

576
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:11.639
Or like literally getting Mike dropped off.

577
00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:17.320
By or something, right, yeah, something, how do you explain that? Right? So,

578
00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:20.119
I think some of these people that are coming forth,

579
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:24.519
and I'll tell you what it takes. It takes some

580
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:27.840
bravery to go out there and tell your story, as

581
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:31.280
crazy as it sounds, you know, for what what are

582
00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:32.719
you trying to gain out of this? But most of

583
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:34.599
the people don't want to gain nothing. They're just trying

584
00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:36.639
to tell the story either aid to get it off

585
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:39.360
their chest and make them feel like they're not crazy

586
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:41.880
because they're not, and b because they want people to

587
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:44.760
have this information because it may have happened to somebody else.

588
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:47.039
And nine times out of ten you'll find that it

589
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:50.000
has happened to somebody else. You know. Again, so what

590
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:51.719
do you do with What do you do with these encounters?

591
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:54.679
You can't omit them and not and not shed light

592
00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:57.840
on it. You have to really look at these encounters

593
00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:00.800
and go what is really going on? I tend to

594
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:04.880
believe that these creatures are of the supernatural realm. I

595
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:08.679
do believe that they that they may have the power

596
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:14.960
to uh cloak. I do believe it goes beyond our understanding.

597
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:18.000
Little little inter dimensional or or I think something.

598
00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:20.920
I think so and I'll tell you this right now,

599
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:24.880
and and this is because of my faith in Christ. Okay,

600
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:28.360
I believe that they are remnants of the roughay em

601
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:32.880
which are remnants of the nephelin yep. And if and

602
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:35.800
and and if I'm right, then that means we're dealing

603
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:39.679
with supernatural, you're dealing with spiritual.

604
00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:42.960
I mean, for me, that's just a good HYS theory

605
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:47.320
as anything else. I and I'm I'm that there's multiple

606
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:53.719
stories throughout of different folks that, especially with the uh

607
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:58.079
mind speak right and sure, and a lot of folks,

608
00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:00.679
a few folks that I've heard of that have told

609
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:04.559
their stories of the mind speakers, that they will that

610
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:12.960
the the entity will call themselves. Oh god, it just

611
00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:19.159
clipped right out of the brain. It's not eloheim, it's uh,

612
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:24.760
it's but it's along those lines. Yeah, but it basically

613
00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:29.360
it's it's it's like kissing cousins with the rap, you know,

614
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:31.960
like that kind of thing. And what the heck is

615
00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:33.679
the name? Damn it?

616
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:37.960
Yeah, I think I understand what you're talking about.

617
00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:41.000
Yeah, but basically they'll say that's what I am. I

618
00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:48.079
am one of these things and uh and that I

619
00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:51.000
can't remember the one woman was saying something that it

620
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:57.079
was seeking salvation or something, right, and that it was

621
00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:59.760
like a lot of them, like a lot of us

622
00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:05.559
are are not good, We're bad, but I am there's

623
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:08.960
a lot of us that are seeking salvation because.

624
00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:11.719
They they they even believe in Jesus.

625
00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:13.719
Right, and and at the end of the day, I'm

626
00:38:13.800 --> 00:38:17.400
not sure that they can reach salvation. But you never

627
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:19.239
know either. I don't make the rules.

628
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:21.719
Yeah, he's the rules, you're right, And.

629
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:24.400
So at the end of the day, he might have

630
00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:29.519
a point where you know, I really wish I could

631
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:32.480
I really wish I could remember the name of that.

632
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:36.320
They'll come to me and I'll probably put it in

633
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:38.119
the show notes and be like, this is what I meant.

634
00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:41.880
I think I've said that before remnants of the Rafayem,

635
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:46.119
and somebody had said, well, you know, they got wiped

636
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:48.760
out in the flood Noah's ark. I said, well, who's

637
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.760
to say that that that the fallen angels came back?

638
00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:56.880
Well, yeah, and and had more and had more, right,

639
00:38:56.960 --> 00:39:01.920
you know, all there the giants after the flood. So

640
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:05.920
it doesn't mean that they're from remnants. It just means

641
00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:11.320
that maybe you know, some the same angels or rogue

642
00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:14.679
angels decided to make more you know, or whatever.

643
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:19.239
They found our women to be beautiful, and they copulated

644
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:20.679
with them, and then.

645
00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:23.599
We've got these You've got these giants. You know, as

646
00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:28.159
we know, as we know, we don't know anything. That

647
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:31.440
bottom line, we don't everyone that thinks that they know

648
00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:37.400
stuff for sure, other than what's going on in your

649
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:40.559
brain and then what you've got going on in your heart.

650
00:39:41.239 --> 00:39:43.800
You don't know anything about anybody.

651
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:47.719
That is that is that is called humility exactly.

652
00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:52.039
And as soon as people you get more, you know,

653
00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:57.679
drop the ego and have humility and understand that that way,

654
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:01.400
we don't control any of this stuff, and and to

655
00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:03.599
think that we do is just arrogance.

656
00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:09.039
You are right, brothers, right on, I'm with you. One.

657
00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:12.159
I put out a video not too long ago about,

658
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:17.199
you know, giving advice to the younger field researcher, going, Hey, look,

659
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:18.800
you're gonna make mistakes.

660
00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:20.000
You're gonna miss.

661
00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:23.119
You're gonna miss quote, you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna

662
00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:26.719
maybe assume something and it's not true or whatever the

663
00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:30.440
case is. It's okay. It's okay because guess what, I'm

664
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:32.920
right there with you, and some of the most tenured

665
00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:37.639
cryptozoologists and researchers aren't always right. They're just people just

666
00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:38.079
like we are.

667
00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:40.960
Yeah, And the funny thing is is, like you think

668
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:43.280
you're gonna go out and you're the one that's gonna

669
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:47.360
find right, Yes, right, And you've got all this camera equipment,

670
00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:50.599
you've got all this ship that they drag along with you.

671
00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:55.679
And most of the seasoned folks that I've that I know,

672
00:40:55.840 --> 00:40:59.079
they don't even carry a camera anymore. They do, but

673
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:04.239
they don't fill, they don't whatever, because that's a sure

674
00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:08.480
way not to see anything. And and I mean I

675
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:16.320
use I use crailcams as like deterrent. That's what I

676
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:21.840
use my ten at night. And I've got two trail

677
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:24.800
cams one face in this way, like I put up

678
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:32.880
camera traps like over overlapping fields of fire and driveway alarms, yep,

679
00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:35.360
just to keep them off me because I want, I

680
00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:37.760
don't want to messing with me while I'm trying to sleep.

681
00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:43.639
And I since I've done that, I've never had an incident. Good,

682
00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:47.119
but but I've had plenty of incidents trying to get

683
00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:51.239
pictures where I knew there was a sasquatch, absolutely unequivocally

684
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:57.360
knew there was a sasquatch. iPhones went dead, recorders went dead,

685
00:41:57.599 --> 00:41:58.679
everything goes dead.

686
00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:00.800
So I have a story about that.

687
00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:02.320
Yeah, go ahead.

688
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:07.000
So so this gentleman reached out to me about two

689
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:11.480
years ago, I think, yeah, about two years ago, and

690
00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:17.679
he said, Rod, my my daughter was walking her full

691
00:42:17.719 --> 00:42:22.159
grown huskies on this paved trail. You know, she's you know,

692
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:26.960
doing exercise, what have you. And this area is heavily wooded,

693
00:42:27.719 --> 00:42:31.840
and it just so happens it the creek that I'm

694
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:36.000
talking about that I've been researching, it runs, it runs

695
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:39.239
right into that park, right, And this is on the

696
00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:43.679
very south side of San Antonio. All going towards on

697
00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:46.280
the outskirts, almost on the outskirts of San Antonio, so

698
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:48.880
we're going almost out of the county Bear County, right.

699
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:53.760
So he says, hey, you know, this is what happened.

700
00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:57.320
My daughter was walking in her huskies. I believe it

701
00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:02.840
was probably getting a little dusky, and something behind this

702
00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:07.639
thick brush vocalized at her and the dogs, and it

703
00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:12.920
vocalized so intense that the brush shook and the dogs

704
00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:17.360
powered and wanted nothing to do with whatever it was.

705
00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:21.400
They said, normally these dogs they'll fight anybody. They don't care,

706
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:26.800
you know, they'll protect their mom, and so they wanted

707
00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:30.719
and she took off, got your car and immediately texted

708
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:32.559
her dad, Hey, look, this is what happened. This thing.

709
00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:34.679
She said it was like a scream and a growl

710
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:38.639
at the same time. And so he said, would you

711
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:41.440
be able to go check this place out? Just because I,

712
00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:44.800
you know, I was interested and she experienced this, and

713
00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:47.760
he sent me screenshots of the text and I said, absolutely, yes, sir,

714
00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:50.079
because that's that's what that's what I what we do,

715
00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:52.639
you know. So my wife and I, who was my

716
00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:57.840
field partner, went out and we went to the area.

717
00:43:57.920 --> 00:43:59.880
Now we didn't find the exact spot because I didn't know.

718
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:03.360
He just described it as as she did. So it

719
00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:05.760
was like first person, second person, you know, all the

720
00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:07.920
way to the third person type of thing. So, but

721
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:10.639
I knew the area and I knew kind of where

722
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:12.880
he was talking about. So we went out there. We

723
00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:17.320
found an area that was just really overgrown. It was

724
00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:21.440
beautiful and at this point in the creek. Now you've

725
00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:23.840
got to remember the area that I'm at at the creek. Now,

726
00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:25.920
the creek I'm talking about is called the Salado Creek.

727
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:28.039
It's a very historical creek in San Antonio, and it

728
00:44:28.119 --> 00:44:31.760
literally runs from the northern part of San Antonio, central

729
00:44:31.880 --> 00:44:36.639
north all the way down outside San Antonio into other towns.

730
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:41.440
So again, you've got concealment, you've got white tail, you've

731
00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:44.199
got everything. I mean you could. It's like a highway,

732
00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:47.840
that's what it is. Right. In fact, the Native Americans

733
00:44:48.599 --> 00:44:51.639
used the Salado Creek as passage in and out of

734
00:44:51.639 --> 00:44:56.599
San Antonio. Makes sense, right, So we went to that area.

735
00:44:56.679 --> 00:45:00.440
The Salada Creek at that point runs has running water,

736
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:05.119
spring water. It's beautiful, it's clear, there's fresh water, clams there,

737
00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:10.119
there's white tail deer, there's everything's overgrown. I mean, it's

738
00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:13.800
a beautiful canopy. And so the area that we went into,

739
00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:16.440
it was a high ground and then we took a

740
00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:19.320
trail that goes all the way down probably about fifteen

741
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:22.320
twenty feet down and there's a high ground and then

742
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:24.639
there's a low ground on the banks of the creek

743
00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:27.199
where the water is flowing right, and then on the

744
00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:30.159
other side there's another piece of property that's equally as

745
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:34.480
overgrown with these huge trees and underbrush. It's amazing. So

746
00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:36.800
we went down there because we found this area and

747
00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:39.079
we're like, wow, this is amazing. I've never seen San

748
00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:42.800
Antonio like this. It's so overgrown, it's beautiful. We're just

749
00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:46.079
taking in the sites and walking, and then my wife

750
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:49.840
decided to do a couple of knocks. Now I typically

751
00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:51.920
don't do that, but in this case, I thought, well,

752
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:54.480
let's try it out. And you know, I am of

753
00:45:54.519 --> 00:45:56.480
the mindset that we I don't really try and do

754
00:45:56.519 --> 00:46:00.320
that stuff because I don't know when I'm communicating that future,

755
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:03.719
so I don't know what it's gonna how it's gonna

756
00:46:03.760 --> 00:46:06.880
take it from from my perspective. But I said, okay,

757
00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:12.400
let's give it a shot. Nothing happened, So we kept

758
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:17.199
on walking, just very gingerly, kind of slow, just take

759
00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:20.679
it to the sites. And I noticed on the high

760
00:46:20.679 --> 00:46:23.840
ground as I couldn't see it, but I can see

761
00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:26.239
these smaller trees. They're full grown trees. I forgot what

762
00:46:26.239 --> 00:46:28.639
they're called, but they're smaller. But I can see the

763
00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:31.480
tops of them up there on the high ground, and

764
00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:35.039
I could I could hear this, this bipedal footsteps this,

765
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:40.800
and then it would shake, it would shake the little trees.

766
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:42.400
I could see the tops of little trees just going

767
00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:45.840
back and forth like this, like it would walk with us,

768
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:49.760
flanking us, and it would stop and shake trees. Boom boom,

769
00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:52.199
boom boom. And I thought what the heck is that

770
00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:55.760
a homeless person. I'm thinking it's it's somebody, But I

771
00:46:55.800 --> 00:46:58.920
found it interesting that I would pull out my phone

772
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:02.000
with my camera to try to capture this activity, at

773
00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:05.840
least the trees moving. Yeah, And as soon as I

774
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:09.840
pulled out the camera and started videoing, it stopped. I

775
00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:13.519
put my camera away and it would start. But this

776
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:16.119
this thing blanked us from this side right boom boom,

777
00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:18.800
boom boom, and I would try to kept no, nothing happened.

778
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:22.639
And then on the other side of the creek of

779
00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:27.000
the water, all of a sudden, we heard two vocalizations

780
00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:30.800
that were so deep and low and resonant that I

781
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:36.320
don't know of anything in our town indigenous that would

782
00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:41.280
make that type of vocalization. It was like I had

783
00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:44.480
described it before, as like an eight o eight base hit,

784
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:48.559
resonant right with a deep growling.

785
00:47:48.559 --> 00:47:53.400
Oh, almost like feel it as much as you hear it.

786
00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:57.840
Yes, And it sounded like it was right there, like

787
00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:00.519
it was right there. And it did it twice.

788
00:48:01.119 --> 00:48:01.360
Yeah.

789
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:04.920
My wife turned around and said, did you think hear that?

790
00:48:05.079 --> 00:48:08.800
And I'm like, yes, I did. It did not whatever

791
00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:11.480
it was did not want to stare, and it made

792
00:48:11.519 --> 00:48:15.559
it very apparent. What Meanwhile, this thing on the high

793
00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:18.679
ground is flanking us, have no idea what that was.

794
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:21.760
So what we did was sweet, just kind of stood

795
00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:25.840
there for a little bit. That vocalization goes right through you.

796
00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:30.000
It's like you're nothing, you know, and it was very

797
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:35.039
very eerie, very eerie, and to me, to be quite honest,

798
00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:36.000
very scary.

799
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:40.719
Oh yeah, like is there's nothing you can do and you.

800
00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:44.039
Know it nothing And now you understand you are not

801
00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:48.920
the alpha. Yeah, you're not the apex predator, you know.

802
00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:53.199
And so so I always get the question, Rot, why

803
00:48:53.239 --> 00:48:55.400
didn't you get out your camera and start recording? I'm like,

804
00:48:55.639 --> 00:48:58.159
are you kidding me? That's the last thing on my mind,

805
00:48:58.519 --> 00:48:59.559
that's the last thing.

806
00:48:59.480 --> 00:49:03.559
I'm Everything turns the your your fingers turned to sausage,

807
00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:08.199
like you just can't and have you Also, there's a phenomenon,

808
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:12.159
and maybe it's because we've been doing this for a while,

809
00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:16.480
but there's a phenomenon where it's like you literally forget

810
00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:21.000
about encounters like you it's just like they're not that

811
00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:24.960
big of a deal anymore. Does that make sense? Kind

812
00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:28.559
of like you're like, oh DN, remember I remember this,

813
00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:32.360
this happened to me and but you don't. It's not

814
00:49:32.519 --> 00:49:35.920
like sitting right on the you know, front of your brain.

815
00:49:36.039 --> 00:49:42.840
It's like you you almost it's almost like maybe we're

816
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:45.840
just humans, you know. But at the end of the day,

817
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:48.079
you know what I mean, like and it just becomes

818
00:49:48.159 --> 00:49:50.559
it's not a big deal to you anymore, and it's

819
00:49:50.599 --> 00:49:54.280
like no, or something like that. But it's not because

820
00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:57.199
it is a big deal. It's it's almost like there's

821
00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:01.280
it's almost like there's a I wouldn't say like a

822
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:03.000
memory wipe, but it's.

823
00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:06.960
Like you almost try to forget it in a way.

824
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:09.880
Like, yeah, maybe there's like a trauma response, like there's

825
00:50:09.960 --> 00:50:11.719
certain incidents or something.

826
00:50:11.840 --> 00:50:15.679
But I think I think with with with certain abuse victims,

827
00:50:16.039 --> 00:50:20.400
Yeah maybe they'll they'll they'll they'll put it back, yeah,

828
00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:23.639
and then later on in their adulthood there just you

829
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:27.599
know it it happens like that, I think maybe.

830
00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:31.119
But it's it's so weird that that's a phenomenon that

831
00:50:31.159 --> 00:50:33.159
I've talked to a lot of people about it. It's like

832
00:50:33.239 --> 00:50:36.159
they it's like they have it's sort of like a

833
00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:39.320
slight amnesia about a lot of things.

834
00:50:40.519 --> 00:50:43.440
I can identify with that totally, which.

835
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:48.639
Which I find weird. Because it's not it's it's it's

836
00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:52.000
pretty prevalent. And we're talking about people that from all

837
00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:55.400
walks of life. It's not like you know, summer, you know,

838
00:50:56.280 --> 00:50:57.960
and it happens to a lot of people.

839
00:50:59.159 --> 00:51:04.119
Like I think what happens is that we try to rationalize. Yeah,

840
00:51:04.119 --> 00:51:07.400
maybe it's so much, the wheels is spinning so much

841
00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:12.000
that we cannot rationalize it at all. Yeah, so it

842
00:51:12.039 --> 00:51:13.480
gets put on the back burner.

843
00:51:14.119 --> 00:51:17.679
Yeah, that's probably what it is, because I literally, like

844
00:51:17.719 --> 00:51:20.599
with my wife and kids too, I'm like, well, hey,

845
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:24.719
come out with me and I'll show you and you'll

846
00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:28.480
experience it. Because I've almost always said someone that I

847
00:51:28.559 --> 00:51:33.840
feel like my research partner. He first time we went out,

848
00:51:34.119 --> 00:51:38.760
we got responses knock responses and wow and a whoop

849
00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:43.920
wow from an area and I'm so excited for the

850
00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:47.400
spring because it's in an area that no one's been

851
00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:53.239
in and a long years years. Wow, it's part of

852
00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:57.880
his property. We have to cross a bridge or a creek,

853
00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:04.000
so right, a creek and it's and it's within five

854
00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:08.880
miles of one of the biggest salmon fisheries in the country.

855
00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:10.000
Makes sense.

856
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:18.320
Yeah, And there's deer everywhere and uh, it's the backside

857
00:52:18.360 --> 00:52:23.320
of his property. And I'm telling you that a sasquatch

858
00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:26.920
tore the bridge down. That's what we call it Broken

859
00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:30.960
Bridge Research Area. And it's because he had a bridge

860
00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:35.639
crossing this creek. And I'm telling you something tore it down.

861
00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:37.119
It didn't just fall down.

862
00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:40.599
Right, right, So yeah, I'm with you. Yeah.

863
00:52:40.639 --> 00:52:43.840
I mean so I can't wait to go over there

864
00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:46.280
and see just in what's there.

865
00:52:46.559 --> 00:52:49.480
That sounds tremendous to me because we.

866
00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:54.599
Get every time we get responses, it's coming from over there,

867
00:52:54.960 --> 00:53:01.880
and whenever we get encounters on this side, it's coming

868
00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:08.360
from There's there's a couple of crossing points. Wow, and

869
00:53:08.360 --> 00:53:09.480
and that's where it's coming from.

870
00:53:09.559 --> 00:53:14.039
It's crazy, butting very interesting. I think that if you

871
00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:19.880
if you find yourself really listening uh really actively listening

872
00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:25.000
to UH sasquatch podcasts and interviews with people that have encounters,

873
00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:29.639
you'll find that the common denominator is that you know,

874
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:34.079
especially with hunters and especially with people that are outdoor people,

875
00:53:34.280 --> 00:53:37.159
that you'll find that the common denominator is a creek

876
00:53:37.679 --> 00:53:41.800
or a river. Why why is that, Well, because those

877
00:53:41.880 --> 00:53:45.800
present a highway and a way in and out of

878
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:47.840
the area. Now I can't just go up to any

879
00:53:47.880 --> 00:53:52.159
piece of patch of woods and go sasquatch activities happening here,

880
00:53:52.559 --> 00:53:57.000
because because the property has to make sense, it has

881
00:53:57.039 --> 00:53:59.159
to make sense. There has to be passage in and out.

882
00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:06.599
Well, there's also energy pathways when it comes to water

883
00:54:06.679 --> 00:54:11.679
as well. Yeah, so if we talk about if we

884
00:54:11.719 --> 00:54:14.679
talk about that side of it too. It's not just

885
00:54:14.760 --> 00:54:19.800
necessarily the water. It's the I mean because almost all

886
00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:24.039
late lay lines have something to do with water. Same

887
00:54:24.119 --> 00:54:27.079
with thin spots in that what what what I would

888
00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:31.800
call the veil. Almost there's almost always some sort of

889
00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:41.039
correlation with either underground water like groundwater or you know,

890
00:54:41.559 --> 00:54:46.639
streams or rivers or you know things along those lines.

891
00:54:46.840 --> 00:54:50.159
There's almost almost always not it's not the rule, but

892
00:54:50.239 --> 00:54:54.360
it's usually there's it's enough to be a correlation for sure.

893
00:54:54.679 --> 00:54:59.719
It's funny you say that because San Antonio literally sits

894
00:54:59.719 --> 00:55:02.119
on and an underground.

895
00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:05.039
Cavern does and it's got a lot of water.

896
00:55:05.119 --> 00:55:07.199
And get that's where we get our water. It's called

897
00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:11.239
the Edwards Underground Aquifer. Now here's what's interesting about and

898
00:55:11.400 --> 00:55:16.719
my theory is this that the creeks are used as

899
00:55:16.719 --> 00:55:19.880
a highway and some of these creeks are what you

900
00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:25.800
call Edwards Underground aquifer recharge zones, meaning that is where

901
00:55:25.840 --> 00:55:29.639
the water is soaked into the ground, it goes through

902
00:55:29.719 --> 00:55:35.039
that whole system, it goes into the aquifer underneath our feet, right,

903
00:55:35.119 --> 00:55:37.920
which means that there are caverns and there's a cave system.

904
00:55:38.119 --> 00:55:41.400
There's a ton of cave systems in and around San Antonio.

905
00:55:41.440 --> 00:55:46.039
They've even got a cave a Society in San Antonio

906
00:55:46.320 --> 00:55:49.840
because we've got a lot of caverns. Now, my theory

907
00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:53.320
is this, I believe that they utilize these cave systems

908
00:55:53.360 --> 00:55:56.599
and we don't know as a city, every nook and

909
00:55:56.639 --> 00:56:00.079
cranny of these caves. We don't. There's impossible because here

910
00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:03.039
here's the other part of it. That cave that Edward's

911
00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:07.119
underground aquifer stretches from San Antonio all the way to Austin.

912
00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:12.760
That's an hour's drive. Okay, Yeah, so so we're talking

913
00:56:12.800 --> 00:56:17.760
about an extensive cave system. So again, you can't tell

914
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:21.280
me that the city of the county knows everything about

915
00:56:21.320 --> 00:56:25.559
these cave systems because we don't. And I think there's

916
00:56:25.599 --> 00:56:28.679
an opening that we may not know about, yea where

917
00:56:28.679 --> 00:56:32.039
they can go in. Yeah, it makes sense. To me,

918
00:56:32.159 --> 00:56:32.880
it really does.

919
00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:35.360
He may have some intense water too.

920
00:56:36.199 --> 00:56:37.840
We've got hard We've got hard water.

921
00:56:38.239 --> 00:56:41.199
Yeah, so there's that one. All right. So a friend

922
00:56:41.239 --> 00:56:46.079
of mine actually died trying to say he's say, some

923
00:56:46.199 --> 00:56:54.079
drowning kids there and so years ago, yeah, twenty sixteensh

924
00:56:54.119 --> 00:57:02.280
I think, Okay, Rodney Bontello is an mhu. He was

925
00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:06.920
a marine jumped in in the park that's downtown, that's

926
00:57:06.960 --> 00:57:12.320
got the there's those well it's like rapids basically, mh.

927
00:57:12.920 --> 00:57:17.800
And he uh jumped in, saved two kids and ended

928
00:57:17.880 --> 00:57:24.039
up getting swept away. But yeah, man, you guys have

929
00:57:24.119 --> 00:57:24.920
a lot of water.

930
00:57:25.920 --> 00:57:29.079
We do, and it literally sits the city literally sits

931
00:57:29.079 --> 00:57:32.800
on underground cavern and and and and and so there's

932
00:57:32.920 --> 00:57:37.639
areas in the city where you cannot build a gas

933
00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:41.920
station because you would be you would be putting those

934
00:57:41.960 --> 00:57:45.320
tanks in underground caverns, which is a no no for

935
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:51.320
the ecosystem. Yeah yeah, right, so again, uh you know,

936
00:57:51.559 --> 00:57:54.679
so there, So I don't think people really realize that

937
00:57:54.719 --> 00:57:59.000
our city is kind of almost prime territory for cryptid activity.

938
00:57:59.360 --> 00:58:02.039
Yeah, underground highway almost, So.

939
00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:04.559
It really is. And if we're gonna talk about hollow

940
00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:07.280
worth and all that stuff. Well, man, we've got that going.

941
00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:09.400
I think we've got to some extent that going on

942
00:58:09.480 --> 00:58:14.119
as well. So you know, it's it's very interesting, uh city,

943
00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:17.079
it's a very interesting area, you know. So you know,

944
00:58:17.119 --> 00:58:19.559
and if I guess and look at the topography of

945
00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:23.159
the Salado Creek and look how vast it is and

946
00:58:23.159 --> 00:58:27.159
look at all the wilderness parks that are connected to that,

947
00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:33.440
it's it's it's it's so Salado Creek essay s A

948
00:58:33.719 --> 00:58:34.719
L A d O.

949
00:58:36.679 --> 00:58:41.760
Creek. M hmm okay, Well yeah, I take a lot

950
00:58:41.760 --> 00:58:42.280
of notes.

951
00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:44.000
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's.

952
00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:46.719
Because I like to do my own research to do it,

953
00:58:47.119 --> 00:58:51.800
do it, check it out. Yeah man. Wow, So where

954
00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:53.840
else do you do you go anywhere else? Or do

955
00:58:53.880 --> 00:58:56.039
you just go local? Like have you ever gone?

956
00:58:57.199 --> 00:59:02.440
So? For me right now, I local. I kind of

957
00:59:02.440 --> 00:59:05.239
tend to look at my areas that I've kept up

958
00:59:05.239 --> 00:59:09.239
with because some of these wood structures evolve, some some

959
00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:12.599
of them get knocked down and then they're built back up. Uh,

960
00:59:12.840 --> 00:59:17.159
And I like to document the evolution of these things,

961
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:19.760
you know, year after year. It does get a little

962
00:59:19.800 --> 00:59:21.760
bit nott in this, but I do think it's important

963
00:59:21.800 --> 00:59:23.840
to maintain documentary.

964
00:59:25.719 --> 00:59:26.039
Area.

965
00:59:26.119 --> 00:59:29.760
Man, right, I I do I do like to go.

966
00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:32.800
I would we have gone out to pal Meadow State Park.

967
00:59:32.840 --> 00:59:35.840
Being a friend of mine, Ryan Edwards. Ryan Edwards, who

968
00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:39.559
is another cryptozoologist, uh, one of the youngest crypto zoologists.

969
00:59:40.039 --> 00:59:42.440
He's out of San Antonio as well, a good friend

970
00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:45.920
of mine UH has has gone out with me as well,

971
00:59:46.519 --> 00:59:51.280
because we've heard of these these encounters with an alleged

972
00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:54.519
sasquatch out there. And even if you look into the

973
00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:56.960
if you go to the office where you know they've

974
00:59:57.000 --> 01:00:01.039
got the rangers there that would the the people that

975
01:00:01.159 --> 01:00:05.119
tend to the to the National Forest or whatever. Uh,

976
01:00:05.159 --> 01:00:07.519
they've got like bigfoot t shirts and things like that.

977
01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:11.519
And yeah, and so but yeah, we've gone out and

978
01:00:11.760 --> 01:00:16.000
and and done some poking around. I'm actually gonna go

979
01:00:16.079 --> 01:00:20.039
I think further south on the Salt of Creek to

980
01:00:20.159 --> 01:00:23.920
kind of just keep on documenting off that area because

981
01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:28.280
it seems to me that there's some definite uh prime

982
01:00:28.440 --> 01:00:32.840
territory for some sidings or some trace evidence to be

983
01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:36.280
found uh in those areas. So that to me, that's

984
01:00:36.480 --> 01:00:39.199
now the most northern part of Salada Creek. I cannot go.

985
01:00:39.599 --> 01:00:43.840
I cannot go into because it is a is a

986
01:00:43.840 --> 01:00:48.679
military base, and that military base has a vast amount

987
01:00:48.719 --> 01:00:52.960
of land that is very thick. It's it's beautiful, it's

988
01:00:53.039 --> 01:00:55.639
I mean, if you don't want to be found, you

989
01:00:55.760 --> 01:00:57.760
may not be found up there. But we I think

990
01:00:57.800 --> 01:01:00.639
going there because you know, I'll get done in jail.

991
01:01:01.119 --> 01:01:04.679
But again, and that that makes it interesting. Again, that's

992
01:01:04.719 --> 01:01:07.519
another element that you can throw on to, you know

993
01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:11.320
what I'm researching because of the fact that people have

994
01:01:11.400 --> 01:01:15.360
seen these things on military basis as well during their

995
01:01:15.360 --> 01:01:19.679
war days, during you know whatever. So I just really

996
01:01:19.719 --> 01:01:23.639
think that there's so much going on that uh, you know,

997
01:01:23.719 --> 01:01:26.440
I can only I can only cover so much area

998
01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:30.039
at a time. But I tend to stick to that

999
01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:32.800
particular creek. And then there's another creek called Leon Creek

1000
01:01:33.280 --> 01:01:36.079
that is another creek that is pretty prominent, but not

1001
01:01:36.280 --> 01:01:39.679
as I wouldn't say, not as as vast as a Slanto.

1002
01:01:39.760 --> 01:01:44.880
But nevertheless, we found some trade evidence, wood structures. I've

1003
01:01:44.880 --> 01:01:48.559
seen footprints. The hard part about footprints with us is

1004
01:01:48.599 --> 01:01:51.280
that we've got very hard ground. We've got what's called

1005
01:01:51.719 --> 01:01:56.440
hardpan ground. It's got a bedrock underneath the soil. So

1006
01:01:56.840 --> 01:01:59.559
in order to capture a footprint, it's very rare, and

1007
01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:03.000
I think in the field, to be quite honest, to

1008
01:02:03.079 --> 01:02:07.280
capture a footprint, it's tough for any field researcher to

1009
01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:12.519
find as well. But I would agree, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

1010
01:02:12.599 --> 01:02:15.159
But I mean, you know, San Antonio, We've got you know,

1011
01:02:15.639 --> 01:02:17.960
I can name up. You know, We've got Ken Gerhart

1012
01:02:18.039 --> 01:02:20.679
that lives here, who is one of the most well

1013
01:02:20.719 --> 01:02:23.760
known cryptosologies in the world, one of the most sought

1014
01:02:23.800 --> 01:02:27.760
after speakers for your Bigfoot conference. I mean, that man

1015
01:02:27.960 --> 01:02:31.519
is busy and he's become a friend of ours. I've

1016
01:02:31.559 --> 01:02:35.800
got Aaron D's from Small Town Monsters, who is a

1017
01:02:35.840 --> 01:02:39.920
well known author with Small Town Monsters and he does

1018
01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:43.079
create content. I'm actually in the first book that he

1019
01:02:43.159 --> 01:02:47.280
put out, which is The dog Man Triangle Werewolfs in Texas,

1020
01:02:47.679 --> 01:02:51.760
because I had found a print that matched up with

1021
01:02:52.199 --> 01:02:56.760
alleged dog Man that I put in there, and he's

1022
01:02:56.920 --> 01:02:59.719
actually put that print in the documentary movie as well.

1023
01:02:59.760 --> 01:03:02.239
So you know, you've got You've got people here in

1024
01:03:02.320 --> 01:03:06.320
this town that, yeah, that are you know, that are

1025
01:03:06.519 --> 01:03:09.679
people that are you know, known in the community.

1026
01:03:09.480 --> 01:03:12.760
Doing stuff, moving and shaking right, yeah.

1027
01:03:12.639 --> 01:03:14.679
Man, I mean I'm just a dude out in the woods.

1028
01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:18.239
Just I'm the knucklet out in the woods, just kind

1029
01:03:18.280 --> 01:03:20.199
of hanging out, just hey, y'all want to look at

1030
01:03:20.199 --> 01:03:24.960
wood structures or you know, nothing real serious there. I

1031
01:03:25.000 --> 01:03:26.599
don't know, but yeah.

1032
01:03:26.400 --> 01:03:32.920
I mean, yeah, my gosh. So, so have you had

1033
01:03:33.159 --> 01:03:37.400
any other encounters other than the like? Have you ever?

1034
01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:39.679
Have you ever had a class A encounter?

1035
01:03:40.360 --> 01:03:44.920
Never had a Class A at all? I think going

1036
01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:48.760
back to not really being in the field at the

1037
01:03:48.800 --> 01:03:54.000
time I live. I literally live on right a stone's

1038
01:03:54.000 --> 01:03:56.800
throw like from the Sladder Creek right in.

1039
01:03:56.800 --> 01:03:59.719
Fact, so you literally can like walk out your door

1040
01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:01.360
and in near researcher.

1041
01:04:01.599 --> 01:04:05.440
I can, And that's what's really cool. I mean, I

1042
01:04:05.480 --> 01:04:09.519
remember coming home really late at night and I think

1043
01:04:09.559 --> 01:04:12.000
it was around two o'clock in the morning. This was

1044
01:04:12.159 --> 01:04:17.519
a few years ago, and closing my door, my car door,

1045
01:04:17.599 --> 01:04:20.360
walking to my apartment.

1046
01:04:20.119 --> 01:04:20.840
And.

1047
01:04:22.039 --> 01:04:24.760
I heard a blood curdling scream that sounded like a

1048
01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:30.239
woman being hurt and it was it was loud and resonant,

1049
01:04:30.840 --> 01:04:33.920
and I thought to myself, you need to go help her.

1050
01:04:34.239 --> 01:04:38.320
That was my that was my instinct. I run. I'm

1051
01:04:38.360 --> 01:04:40.360
the guy that runs into the burning building. That's who

1052
01:04:40.400 --> 01:04:43.840
I am. So I start calling over there, and I'm

1053
01:04:43.840 --> 01:04:47.719
hearing this what I think is a woman, just loud screaming.

1054
01:04:48.400 --> 01:04:51.159
I get to the edge of the creek and something

1055
01:04:51.199 --> 01:04:54.719
in me just said, hey, don't don't, don't do that.

1056
01:04:54.880 --> 01:04:58.039
Go back home, like you need to go now. Something

1057
01:04:58.159 --> 01:05:01.559
just stopped me right in my tray and I left

1058
01:05:01.920 --> 01:05:04.400
and I went home, and I thought, wow, that was

1059
01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:07.159
really weird. And I thought, well, maybe it's a fox,

1060
01:05:07.199 --> 01:05:12.440
because fox FOXX. But this thing had some guts to it.

1061
01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:16.440
It had some wind. You know, to my knowledge, a

1062
01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:20.360
fox doesn't sound that loud and resonant of what I heard.

1063
01:05:20.440 --> 01:05:22.880
So I was like, okay, well, I don't know. I

1064
01:05:22.920 --> 01:05:24.960
just wrote it off. And then you know, later on

1065
01:05:25.000 --> 01:05:28.239
down the line, as I began as a researcher, I

1066
01:05:28.239 --> 01:05:30.760
couldn't sleep one night and I decided to go out

1067
01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:32.599
on my back patio and just hang out at about

1068
01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:35.280
three o'clock in the morning, and I heard something that

1069
01:05:35.360 --> 01:05:38.679
sounded like like a siren. It was like a whoo,

1070
01:05:39.679 --> 01:05:42.119
and you know, I thought, well, you know, it's just

1071
01:05:42.159 --> 01:05:45.360
the ambulance going by, or you know, firetruck or whatever.

1072
01:05:45.639 --> 01:05:48.880
But yet I saw no lights. I saw no nothing,

1073
01:05:48.920 --> 01:05:51.800
because I can kind of see that the main road

1074
01:05:52.320 --> 01:05:55.480
where I'm on. I saw nothing and I thought, that's weird,

1075
01:05:55.519 --> 01:05:58.719
there's no and then I heard again and it was loud, right.

1076
01:05:58.800 --> 01:06:01.000
I thought, what the heck, where is the car? Where's

1077
01:06:01.039 --> 01:06:03.559
the emergency vehicle? I have no idea where does that,

1078
01:06:04.159 --> 01:06:06.519
you know? And so I thought, well, I'm gonna go

1079
01:06:06.599 --> 01:06:09.079
out and try to record this because now I'm thinking

1080
01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:13.280
these are loud whoops coming from the creek again. I

1081
01:06:13.400 --> 01:06:16.360
got out there and I started videoing, and I kicked

1082
01:06:16.400 --> 01:06:18.840
myself because I can't film the video. On a side note,

1083
01:06:19.280 --> 01:06:22.079
I said it to Christopher, actually no, well but anyway,

1084
01:06:23.000 --> 01:06:27.599
I'm videoing and I'm hearing these whoo like really loud, right,

1085
01:06:28.159 --> 01:06:31.119
And I get to a spot at the edge of

1086
01:06:31.119 --> 01:06:34.639
the creek where there is a light post like they

1087
01:06:34.679 --> 01:06:37.840
have in the complex, like these lights, yeah right, and

1088
01:06:38.159 --> 01:06:41.920
something started throwing rocks at me and it threw a

1089
01:06:42.000 --> 01:06:44.519
rock and I think it meant to hit me, but

1090
01:06:44.599 --> 01:06:47.800
it hit the lamp post and it went like really loud,

1091
01:06:48.159 --> 01:06:49.920
and I thought and at that point I thought, oh,

1092
01:06:50.000 --> 01:06:55.559
I'm out, like I'm not gonna try and you know,

1093
01:06:55.679 --> 01:06:58.800
look any further. So now those are the.

1094
01:06:58.960 --> 01:07:04.000
I've heard screams, uh, very similar to that. It sounded

1095
01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:07.079
almost like a yeah, like the cross between like a

1096
01:07:08.519 --> 01:07:11.039
like a siren and a like a howler monkey.

1097
01:07:11.599 --> 01:07:15.360
It was like a long gate like yeah. Yeah, it

1098
01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:18.840
was very whatever it had, whatever it was had had

1099
01:07:18.920 --> 01:07:24.119
had lung capacity and cold, and I honestly thought it

1100
01:07:24.360 --> 01:07:29.400
was a fire truck or ambulance. But yet I saw nothing.

1101
01:07:29.440 --> 01:07:31.280
You can see, like I can see like, oh yeah,

1102
01:07:31.280 --> 01:07:35.000
there goes yep, you know, yeah, right, nothing, And the

1103
01:07:35.119 --> 01:07:39.440
dogs were going crazy. Dogs were going nuts. It was insane.

1104
01:07:39.599 --> 01:07:42.320
So you know what it was, I don't know, but

1105
01:07:42.400 --> 01:07:43.760
I have a good inkling of what it was.

1106
01:07:43.800 --> 01:07:45.800
I just ge't prove it now you do, right.

1107
01:07:45.800 --> 01:07:49.480
Yeah, absolutely not, Yeah, yeah.

1108
01:07:49.199 --> 01:07:56.159
For sure. Yeah wow. Yeah. And I get when you

1109
01:07:56.239 --> 01:07:59.280
say you were telling the story earlier about the dog's

1110
01:07:59.639 --> 01:08:07.079
cower ring. Yeah, my research partners that he's absolutely been

1111
01:08:07.159 --> 01:08:10.840
bluff charged in his backyard and his two I told

1112
01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:14.639
you earlier he has two Great Pyrenees and they're they're monsters.

1113
01:08:14.760 --> 01:08:17.319
Those are monsters, and they.

1114
01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:21.239
Both were like and they bark at everything, man. And

1115
01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:24.239
I also told you that they've come up, something's come

1116
01:08:24.319 --> 01:08:28.239
up to the house and they bark, like I pull

1117
01:08:28.319 --> 01:08:33.680
in to the house and they're barking. They did not

1118
01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:37.159
alert him that something was there at all. They were

1119
01:08:37.199 --> 01:08:43.079
just like, yeah, they were quiet. It's almost like it's

1120
01:08:43.079 --> 01:08:46.439
almost like, uh that or it's almost like you know,

1121
01:08:46.680 --> 01:08:50.520
there's some communication going on there like or something you

1122
01:08:50.600 --> 01:08:51.000
never know.

1123
01:08:51.439 --> 01:08:53.800
Yeah, but these.

1124
01:08:53.600 --> 01:08:57.159
Dogs are like guard dogs and they don't guard against

1125
01:08:57.159 --> 01:08:58.560
these things.

1126
01:08:59.279 --> 01:08:59.760
Not at all.

1127
01:09:00.159 --> 01:09:00.399
Yeah.

1128
01:09:00.840 --> 01:09:03.520
These are boxter dogs too, I know before.

1129
01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:04.319
Yeah, they're huge.

1130
01:09:04.760 --> 01:09:05.920
Yeah, they're big dogs.

1131
01:09:06.439 --> 01:09:08.520
And all you ever and like I said, all you

1132
01:09:08.560 --> 01:09:13.560
ever hear is if it's these things, that's just kind

1133
01:09:13.560 --> 01:09:16.560
of like a clue. He knows that something's around if

1134
01:09:16.600 --> 01:09:20.760
they're not parking, you know, and something's going on, it's crazy.

1135
01:09:21.239 --> 01:09:22.680
That's at least something's going on.

1136
01:09:23.439 --> 01:09:31.520
So yeah, craziness. I love it. Yep. Well man, this

1137
01:09:31.600 --> 01:09:34.920
has been a good conversation. We uh absolutely took us

1138
01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:35.840
a bit to get here.

1139
01:09:36.439 --> 01:09:40.279
No, it's okay, yeah, all right, all good man, But

1140
01:09:41.640 --> 01:09:42.119
I think.

1141
01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:45.000
It was worth it. It's awesome, I believe, and I would

1142
01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:47.600
you definitely love to do another episode in.

1143
01:09:47.640 --> 01:09:50.119
The future anytime you want you let me.

1144
01:09:50.079 --> 01:09:55.359
Know, Yeah, man, for sure, absolutely. Uh so, where can

1145
01:09:55.399 --> 01:09:56.039
we find you?

1146
01:09:57.479 --> 01:09:59.279
