5
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.480
Does a legend walk among us working in the forests

6
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:32.600
of our world?

7
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:36.240
Did you see what it was?

8
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:38.880
Was it a person or an animal?

9
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:39.960
Or I can't go?

10
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.000
Oh, I know it's that my thunder light came on

11
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:42.520
and I did.

12
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:45.320
Happened to Glenn and see this thing running across the yard?

13
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.200
A good sight man or something works like a man.

14
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:55.759
I don't know what it was. For over fifteen years,

15
00:00:55.799 --> 00:01:00.920
we've talked with scientists, researchers, investigators, and witnesses trying to

16
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:06.040
gain insight and proof around the existence of this mysterious entity.

17
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:13.920
Jesus bar hello, get somebody out here.

18
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:15.040
What's going to announce?

19
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.560
There's got to revention about six foot nine?

20
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.640

00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.359
Okay? What's he doing in your yard?

23
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.680
Join us as we continue into the investigation of the

24
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:42.959
Sasquatch experience.

25
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.599
It's been all kind of something tonight, and folks, as

26
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:06.519

00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.919
host and field investigator behind The off Road x Files,

30
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:21.159
a podcast that explores crypted encounters, pronormal activity, and unexplained

31
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.360
phenomena happening where few dare to travel deep in the

32
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.080
back roads, trails and wilderness of America. Originally from Central

33
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.000
Texas and now living in Washington State, Jimmy brings a

34
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.960
unique blend of curiosity, adventure, and investigative grit to his work.

35
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.639
His career path has been anything but an ordinary, ranging

36
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.960
from commercial fishermen in Alaska, a professional cowboy radio DJ,

37
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.599

43
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:08.000
Jimmy's personal encounters, including his own sasquatch sighting, fuel his

44
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:12.039
passion for uncovering the truth behind legendary creatures and mysterious happenings.

45
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.919
With Off Road x Files, he combined storytelling, witness interviews,

46
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.360
and on the ground field investigations to create a documentary

47
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.400
style experience that draws listeners into the unknown and folks.

48
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.560
That's our guest tonight, Jimmy and Tonggate. Jimmy, thanks for

49
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.280
coming on with us as we're getting right into the

50
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.400
show tonight. No no no bluffing around, We're just getting

51
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:33.039
right into it.

52
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.960
Awesome. Thank you so much for having me, Sean and team.

53
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.240
And I just want to say, out of all the

54
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.479
podcasts that use the nine to one one intro call,

55
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.599
I'm so happy that you use the part that says,

56
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.840
what's he doing? He's looking at me like I don't

57
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.000
hear anybody else do that, And that's like the whole

58
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:54.400
best part of that whole CLL that.

59
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.000
Is is it not like this is something about that

60
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:01.439
it's looking at me? Oh oh oh okay, yeah, you know,

61
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.479
we tried to do a whole show on that nine

62
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.400
to one one call in itself, Jimmy, and that's you know,

63
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.360
out in the Pacific Northwest, out in the area you're

64
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:15.840
you're from. Definitely a fascinating, fascinating story, but you know,

65
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.399
one that's kind of left up in the air to

66
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:18.839
where it ended.

67
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.800
Yeah, there's not much information out there about it. I

68
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.759
know a couple of other shows have tried to, you know,

69
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.720
treat it as a topic, and there's just not much

70
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.240
out there. So, but it's definitely a fascinating call and

71
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:35.959
one of the one of the interesting things from here

72
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.560
in the in the Pacific Northwest.

73
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.560
How about it? Pacific Northwest, man, it's an interesting spot.

74
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.079
And Jimmy, one thing I like to ask all our

75
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.480
guests right from the beginning is when did your interest

76
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.759
and not just Bigfoot, but like the cryptozoological to paranormal,

77
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.040
When did that start? How did you get involved in this?

78
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.839
So for me, as a young boy, always left mysteries

79
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:04.120
and the scholastic books on the Lockness monster and say

80
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:09.480
Bigfoot and yetty things like that. Growing up in Central Texas,

81
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.120
I didn't realize that we had bigfoot there. Back then.

82
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:17.439
It was called something completely different. I just did a

83
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.879
show on that that dropped last night. On my podcast

84
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.920
about the Brown Rock harry Man, and that's what they

85
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.160
call it there, the hairy Man, the Wooly Booker, the

86
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:29.639
booger Man. But I had no idea that we're referencing

87
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.879
big old Maasquatch back then. And my parents would tell me,

88
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.360
you know, like little Jimmy, make sure you're home before dark,

89
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:38.759
or the booger Man's gonna get you here, or that

90
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:43.399
you know, the wooly Boogeruh. But I absolutely loved the

91
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:48.519
Scholastic books, the TV shows in search of One of

92
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:52.519
my favorite TV shows of all time is Unsolved Mysteries,

93
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.839
and they occasionally, you know, touch on Bigfoot, but I

94
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:58.720
just like, I love mysteries in general.

95
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.879
Yeah, you know, one of the I guess that's one

96
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:08.399
of the you know, commonalities Jimmy that a lot of

97
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.399
us share is you know that Robert Stack Unsolved Mysteries,

98
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.279
you know, and learning through those shows that you know,

99
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.639
this mystery is more than just identified at the Pacific Northwest,

100
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:21.600
that it's everywhere.

101
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:27.959
Yeah. That and and also like you know, the legend

102
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.319
of Boggy Creek came out when I was a kid,

103
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.720
and I remember going and seeing that at the drive

104
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.079
in theater in the back of the truck, and I

105
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.399
was like, you know, holy cow, this thing is out there.

106
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.839
And I knew, I knew, like that was a big foot,

107
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.480
but that was in Arkansas, not Central Texas.

108
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:47.800
Uh.

109
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:52.639
But I also like, remember Harryman. There's a Harryman Road

110
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.199
in a round Rock, Texas where I'm from, and I

111
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.959
remember driving down that road when I was a kid, uh,

112
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.600
in the dark, because we had friends that lived out

113
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:03.959
that way, and we also had one of my uncles

114
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.519
lived out there for a time and driving down that

115
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.600
old speaky sea lane road flowing over the top and

116
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:16.240
the story for the Hairy Man, Someone's going to reach

117
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.800
in the back of the truck and just snatch me

118
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:18.519
right out of it.

119
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.319
Yeah, we worried about that when we drive those kind

120
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:24.000
of roads.

121
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:25.519
We really did.

122
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.439
Some of these back roads up this way or no joke,

123
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.240
and uh, you know, I get that that feeling. And

124
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.040
of course, you know, you guys had the stories, you know,

125
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.519
the not real stories, but the Texas Chainsaw Master based

126
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:41.079
on a true story, and uh, you get even a

127
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.240
lot more, uh, you know, fear inducing situations out that way.

128
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.879
So one of my really close friends that I've known,

129
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:52.920
my whole life. Her grandparents owned that house that it

130
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.519
was filmed. Small World that was actually filmed in Round Rock.

131
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.199
A lot of it was uh in the store it

132
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.560
was based on was really close to where my dad

133
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.639
had his first job. So like, I grew up with

134
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:10.839
that whole mythology to the Chainsaw massacre and that was

135
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:11.480
a lot of fun.

136
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.360
So it's just naturally you gravitated towards all this.

137
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:20.600
Yeah, getting scared, and I'm sure we'll get to it.

138
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.199
Last night, I just came back from going down to

139
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:29.160
visit Sweet Home, Oregon, and got back yesterday and went

140
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.279
camping Saturday night, and we're out in the middle of

141
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:37.200
a forest on a for service road and the moon

142
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.039
is coming up. You know, it's very picturesque. He's coming

143
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:44.519
up above the forest service road through the trees, absolutely gorgeous.

144
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:46.559
So I get out my canning camera and set it

145
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.159
up on the tripod, take two pictures, and I hear

146
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:55.679
something that sounds like a very loud croak, and I'm like, huh,

147
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.480
it doesn't exactly sound like a bullfrog, and I don't

148
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.200
think there's any bullfrogs around here. So I asked my

149
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:04.799
friend that I was with, you know, that's her research area.

150
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.200
Have you heard that sound before? And she's like no,

151
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.919
and so a few seconds later, Harriet again, but it's moved,

152
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.519
and it's moved a distance that a frog wouldn't be

153
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:18.919
capable of. And then it turned into grunts. And this

154
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:23.840
went on for a good twenty twenty five minutes. I've

155
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:26.159
listened to the first hour of audio. I had a

156
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.879
recorder deployed in the trees that picked up the grunts.

157
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.879
Can't tell what they are, but I'll tell you it

158
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:34.000
was a little scary.

159
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.039
No doubt, No doubt. I mean one of the things

160
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:40.519
I appreciated about you, Jimmy. And you know we've become,

161
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:44.759
you know, rather familiar through Facebook, but you know, you

162
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.120
get out there, you go to some pretty cool places

163
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:51.039
to do some research. And that's one of the fascinating

164
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:52.840
things I find that you know, you're getting out there

165
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:55.879
and doing some pretty cool investigating.

166
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.200
Oh thank you. I really enjoy it. I absolutely love

167
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:04.559
overlanding and off roading and it takes me to the

168
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:08.039
areas where you know, I can look into these kinds

169
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:15.919
of experiences the research area. So I'm research my research.

170
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.159
I am the research partner of Craig Yownie with Pacific

171
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.039
Northwest Sasquatch Research Group and he's the host of Squatch

172
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.559
Vesk and Kelso, and we met the very beginning of

173
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.919
the year, hit it off, figured out we live really

174
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:32.240
close together, like maybe twenty minutes, and so he invited

175
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.799
me out to his research area and it kind of

176
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:39.720
kicked this new phase off for me. And that research

177
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.399
area is about two and a half hours north of here,

178
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:47.679
in a valley with a river that's glacier fed, a

179
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:55.159
beautiful area. He's found tracks out there recorded, or he

180
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.720
had some really good drugs. That's something that looks like

181
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.360
it's potentially a asquatch black walking along the river on

182
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.320
a day when it was like one hundred and thirteen

183
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.200
degrees and somebody's not going to be all dressed up

184
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:10.440
in black with a backpack or something walking down the

185
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.480
river in rocks and stuff. So we can't, you know,

186
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.960
can't say it's sasquatch, but it definitely looks like, you know,

187
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:21.960
it could be. And then that area has according to

188
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:25.600
Fish and Wildlife, I've been told one of the campgrounds

189
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.320
in that area has the most reports for them for

190
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:32.039
sasquatch activity. And then the very first night that I

191
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:37.080
camped out there with my camp and buddy Austin. I

192
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:38.840
didn't hear it at the time where I heard one,

193
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.960
but I recorded a series of tree knocks that culminated

194
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.000
in a very loud one that walked me up. And

195
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.519
it sounds kind of metallic, and I hear that over

196
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:53.720
and over from Washington and other places. Sometimes they're like

197
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.960
metallic like sounds where there shouldn't be anything that's metallic.

198
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:02.360
And I played it my wife and she's like, Wow,

199
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.240
that's crazy. You're like camping out there asleep and this

200
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:08.200
is going on. I'm like yeah, And she's like, did

201
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.879
you look at your at your rig, your forerunner? And

202
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.320
I'm like no, I kind of walked around it, but

203
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.000
I didn't look at it real close. So we went

204
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.360
downstairs and did a thorough walk around as my forerunner

205
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.759
and there was a new dent on the passenger side,

206
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.200
So that metallic sound could have been a rock band

207
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:27.159
tossed at my truck.

208
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:28.039
How about that?

209
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:29.759
Pretty crazy?

210
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:36.519
Wow, Jimmy, you mentioned something about orbs, and it's a

211
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:40.679
topic that's really starting to become prevalent. Yeah, and the

212
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:44.919
Bigfoot field. Is there a connection between these these orbs

213
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:49.120
of light, and you know this being entitygue creature we

214
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.159
call bigfoot. What are your thoughts on that and what

215
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:53.799
have you experienced along those lines.

216
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:58.720
I'm glad, yeah, Sean. It is like there is so

217
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:02.840
much talk about it, so much trending focus on orbs

218
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:07.440
these days. My first experience with an ORB was when

219
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:09.799
I was a kid in East Texas at my grandpa's

220
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:12.600
house and I would go out and spend summers with him,

221
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:16.480
and back behind his house was a little meadow and

222
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.399
we would ride horses and stuff out there, and it's

223
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:23.559
lined by trees in the big piney woods. And for

224
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.639
a period of time from when I was like, you know,

225
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.679
maybe ten years old, until I was in my early twenties,

226
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.120
it wasn't every time, it wasn't every week, it wasn't,

227
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:38.440
you know, every two weeks, but pretty regular I would

228
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:42.000
see an ORB float through that metow and it would

229
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:45.240
always start on the right side, come out of the trees.

230
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:47.799
It would float across kind of at the same speed,

231
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.519
about the same height. It looked like, you know, five

232
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:55.159
to six feet up. It was always about the same size. So,

233
00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.480
and that was probably like one hundred and fifty two

234
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:04.200
hundred year yards maybe, and at that distance, it looked

235
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:08.840
like the size of a big cantalog, so where it

236
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.759
was it had to be like larger than a basketball.

237
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:16.200
It didn't pulsate or anything. It's a kind of a

238
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.720
white hot color. Didn't bob, didn't move, It just floated

239
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.879
across there, and I saw it over a period of years.

240
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:27.879
Grandpa wouldn't talk about it. I think the first time

241
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:29.399
I saw I was like, what the heck is that?

242
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.240
And he's like, we don't know, we don't talk about that.

243
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:35.080
So I don't know what he thought it was. But

244
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:38.720
that was my first experience with Orbs, was seeing him,

245
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:41.120
you know, as a child, and then into my twenties

246
00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:45.399
before he died. The last time I went out there,

247
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.679
I saw one, and then you know, I never had

248
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.600
a chance to go back out to that property. Interestingly,

249
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.039
Saturday night, when the whole thing was going on with

250
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.679
what I think may have been a bear across the

251
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.840
road from us. So where we're camped, there's along a

252
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:06.519
bend on a four service road, and then across the

253
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:11.679
road is a hillside that's the tree lined with pretty

254
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.759
thick brush going uphill, and so I'm hearing the grunts

255
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:21.240
from across there and it's already dark, but there's also

256
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:26.200
like I'm a photographer and my passion is taking pictures,

257
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.039
and so I'm looking at the sky and I'm seeing

258
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:30.720
all these stars that I normally don't get to see

259
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:32.720
at home, and I'm wanting to take pictures, but I'm

260
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.120
also wanting to be very focused on what's going on

261
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:38.240
and not lose my attention to that. So I'm kind

262
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.240
of looking up at the sky and I saw something

263
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:45.399
black move across the sky. I think maybe it was

264
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:47.759
a raven or something like that, because there's some pretty

265
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:52.639
big ones out there. But very quickly after that, as

266
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.039
I'm kind of looking at the sky and panning my

267
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.039
head back to the left, out of the corner of

268
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:04.039
my eye, like maybe at say three point thirty four o'clock,

269
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:09.159
I saw a light move up through the trees and

270
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:12.360
then disappear behind them. So I don't know if that

271
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.720
was an ORB or what it was, but I find

272
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.600
it very interesting that, like, all this stuff is going

273
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:21.480
on and then I see something that could be an ORB.

274
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.600
To answer your question, like, do I think there's a connection, God,

275
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:31.320
I'm not sure. A lot of people report seeing orbs.

276
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.679
My friend that I was out there with says that

277
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:38.799
they have and she had never heard of the Brown

278
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:42.120
Mountain lights. But what she was describing to me that

279
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.399
happens at the lake there at Foster Lake is they

280
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:49.080
have lights that pulsate along the edge of the lake.

281
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:51.039
And I'm like, have you ever heard of the brown lights?

282
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.840
And she's like no. But we started talking about orbs

283
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:58.679
and wondering, like, you know, with the flashing like that

284
00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:02.039
and the strobing, could it be a portal opening or

285
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:06.799
something like that? Could orbs be like little portals. I

286
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:08.920
don't know if anything's coming through them. I hope I'm

287
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.599
not standing there if one does. But I would also

288
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:14.079
love to know the answer to that.

289
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:18.119
Right, So listen, you know, personally, for me, Jimmy, I

290
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:20.839
don't know if there's a correlation. I hate to say

291
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:22.559
there isn't there isn't because I don't know.

292
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:23.440
Right.

293
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:26.319
Do I believe this thing to be flesh and blood? Absolutely?

294
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:29.519
Does that mean I'm right? No, it doesn't. But I'll

295
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:33.720
tell you from my own experiences, there's some parts to

296
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.839
this that are very unusual from the orbs I've seen

297
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:40.000
orbs I was out with. I've said this, you know

298
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:44.480
several times I was out with my friend the Cherby's

299
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.279
out in southwest Pennsylvania, Eric Altman, Tom Meehak, and we're

300
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.160
sitting out there and there's just these orbs that appear

301
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:54.000
in the trees and they just fly up and they

302
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:59.440
move around. They're non localized, they have their own you know, positioning,

303
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.880
you know, they're not controlled anything, and then they just disappear.

304
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.079
And I've had just strange flashing light phenomena. Would have

305
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:08.480
been out in the woods in the middle of the

306
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:11.000
night in areas there's no reason there should be a

307
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.680
flash of light. So I can't explain them. I've experienced them.

308
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:19.640
Are they two separate situations going on? Potentially? But is

309
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.720
it you know, coincidence that it also happens around the

310
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:27.799
same time as uh, you know, bigfoot activity. I don't know.

311
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:29.599
And now I know I'm going to start getting hate

312
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.960
mail from people like all of a sudden, we've you know,

313
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:35.920
but it's not and you know, it's just simply not

314
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:38.359
the case, like I'm I'm I'm a flesh and blood

315
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:40.880
or Jimmy. But I acknowledge that there's more to this

316
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:45.160
than we can understand. And you know, you and you know,

317
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:46.960
one of the things again, I appreciate about you as

318
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:48.680
you go out and you investigate this, And I think

319
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:53.480
folks that are more open to investigating some of the

320
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:59.519
other paranormal phenomena, you know, have that, you know, willingness

321
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.599
to acknowledge that there might be something a little bit

322
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.359
more to this mystery than just a big ape, you know.

323
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:13.799
Yeah, I completely agree. So I'm also very physical creation based.

324
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:18.599
I believe it's a physical creature or creature. I think

325
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.519
there's a lot we don't under right, there are so

326
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:29.119
many open questions throughout all of creation. But like I guess,

327
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:31.519
one of the reasons I'm more open minded to this

328
00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:35.920
is I've had some paranormal experiences with being like physically

329
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:40.160
touched by a spirit or something while sleeping over a

330
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:43.599
period of time, and it would like torment me. And

331
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:48.440
so I know that there's more to this world than

332
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:53.240
just things that are physical, things that can be spiritual

333
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:58.079
but also be able to interact with you physically. So

334
00:19:58.119 --> 00:19:59.960
I think that makes me maybe a little bit more

335
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:05.559
open minded to it. I really believe that there's a

336
00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:10.640
whole lot about Bigfoot we don't understand, and I think

337
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:14.119
everybody agrees with that there's a lot we don't understand.

338
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.519
I think part of it is we left the forest

339
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:21.839
in the woods a long time ago and became civilized,

340
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.880
and we lost that grounding that we had with nature.

341
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:28.519
But they maintained that, and so they're out there twenty

342
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:31.880
four to seven. You know, they have to maintain night vision,

343
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:34.680
they have to be able to move quickly, and so

344
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:38.279
they've continued to adapt where we haven't in those ways.

345
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.440
We've adapted mentally, and we've lost a lot of our

346
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.680
physicality and I think because of that, there's a lot

347
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:49.359
that we don't understand. Maybe their hair follicles have evolved

348
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:53.440
as well. I think it's Doug Hichek has a theory

349
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:58.279
based on an experiment that was done with UV lighting

350
00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:02.720
and flying squirrels, where you know, maybe their hair follicles

351
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:06.720
allowed them to camouflage when they become Still, there's a

352
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:10.480
lot of things we don't understand that may seem paranormal,

353
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.440
that may be able to be explained by science, but

354
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:14.839
we just.

355
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.759
We're not there yet. And I think that's a great

356
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:20.200
point you made. You know, we talk about some of these,

357
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:24.440
you know, potential biological adaptations, and because we don't have them,

358
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:28.200
you know, you know, silly us, You know we you know,

359
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:30.799
we nothing else can have it if we can't. But

360
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:34.039
we know that's just not the case. There's some animals

361
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:37.319
out there that have some truly amazing capabilities. When we

362
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:40.039
talk about something like infrasound, you know there are animals

363
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:43.240
out there, large mammals that use it. We know this

364
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:46.279
for a fact. And but because we don't, all of

365
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:48.559
a sudden, that's you know, that tends to you know,

366
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:52.960
end up into the camp of WU. You know, they

367
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:54.960
call it getting zapped or what have you. It doesn't

368
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:59.039
have to be WU. It can be a real biological situation,

369
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:05.160
like it doesn't have to be anything mystical though, you know,

370
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:08.400
you go back in time and you take the stuff

371
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:11.079
we have, now we'd be looking like wizards and magicians

372
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:17.640
and gods to people. So exactly, it's I don't know,

373
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:21.960
it's a tight line to walk, and that when you're

374
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:25.240
in this research, you know, when you try not to,

375
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:28.440
you try to take a position and try to hold

376
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:31.799
onto it. But I think that's dangerous, Jimmy, because you're

377
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:34.400
not opening up your mind to other evidence that's coming

378
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:39.200
forward or other pieces to the puzzle that you're alienating

379
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:42.200
yourself from because it doesn't fit into your own worldview,

380
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:45.839
and I try to be open minded to a point.

381
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:47.400
I try to be open minded. I try not to

382
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:51.799
be an idiot. That's always a good thing, Sean, Right.

383
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:54.680
I think one of the things that helps me is

384
00:22:55.279 --> 00:23:00.960
being a fraud investigator. I'm constantly looking at a trends

385
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:04.640
and patterns, and as soon as you figure out what

386
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.480
these known actors and frousters are doing and you start

387
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:13.079
shutting them down, they change. And so by that constant

388
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:15.680
change and having to figure out, Okay, what's the new pattern,

389
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:18.319
what's the new thing that they're doing today, how are

390
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:20.440
they trying to cover up that they're using a stolen

391
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:24.240
credit card or that they've compromised an account and are

392
00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:28.440
actively using it to abuse resources, et cetera. So you

393
00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:31.079
have to be like really on top of that and

394
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:35.359
continue to let your thinking evolve as things change. And

395
00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:40.119
I think everybody could apply that same principle to any

396
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:44.920
kind of endeavor like this, where things change over time

397
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:49.559
and you don't have to believe everything, but we should

398
00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:52.319
be open minded enough to listen to it and then

399
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:54.519
make an informed decision as best as we can.

400
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:58.960
Absolutely, Henry Baker, we got to take a break, Jimmy,

401
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:01.039
we got to take our mid show break. We got

402
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:03.039
the big Foot bullhorn to play here. It's going to

403
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:05.359
give us a few minutes. Everybody can go to the bathroom,

404
00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:07.519
do what they have to. Listen to the bullhorn though, folks.

405
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:09.960
That's why we put it out here for you. But

406
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:12.039
before we go, I just want to put out a

407
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:15.359
you know, our Squatch Out Hunger campaign is still going

408
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.640
on sasquatch experience dot com from more information as soon

409
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.839
as you pop up a splash page, prom chick to

410
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:26.119
go and donate to our cause. It's a big deal.

411
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:28.440
Twelve hundred and fifty bucks is what we're looking the raise,

412
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.519
which equals about five hundred pounds of food. But more importantly,

413
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:35.279
every dollar equals about ten meals to folks in need.

414
00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:37.519
And it's something I'm passionate about. Folks. If you've never

415
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:40.880
dealt with food insecurities, there's I don't think a worse

416
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:43.359
anxiety to have than when your next meal's coming from.

417
00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:45.960
And we got to do our part to just be

418
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.599
a little bit better and to help our neighbors. So

419
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:50.440
go to the link. You see I got to QR

420
00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:53.359
code posted here. Go to our website, make a donation.

421
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:55.599
We get a long ways to go, but we're going

422
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:59.119
to make it. And I believe in this this community,

423
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:00.799
so we can all put our best foot forwards and

424
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.400
do some really great things. When we come back, folks,

425
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:06.000
we'll we get you know, finish up here with Jimmy,

426
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:09.799
we'll Baker and Henry ask some questions because I've been

427
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:13.640
hogging the microphone. But just give us a few minutes.

428
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:16.640
We'll be right back, folks. Sasquatch experience right after this.

429
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:27.319
Ah, simb, I think Bigfoot is blurry.

430
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:29.400
That's the problem.

431
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:39.000
It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's

432
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:42.559
extra scary to me because there's a large out of

433
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:48.519
focused monster roam in the countryside. Ron he's fuzzy.

434
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:54.720
Hell ah, Yes, it's a classic from the late great

435
00:25:55.200 --> 00:26:01.119
mitch Headbird keeping his jokes alive. Well, happy evening to

436
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:04.839
you all on this summer sweat. I hope you're all

437
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:10.240
doing well. And speaking of nose picking, which I know

438
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:14.799
we weren't but we will. I did a little bit

439
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:20.319
of research and looking into the fact of well, there's

440
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:25.319
no reports from July of this year, not yet anyway,

441
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:28.200
and I was kind of taken back by it. So

442
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:32.920
I started thinking, you know, as far as grooming goes,

443
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:38.799
I wonder if the big hairy fella uses a finger

444
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:43.920
to pick the nose, clean, its ear, bite, its nails.

445
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:46.240
And then I kind of looked at it into a

446
00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:49.559
little bit more of a scientific view that I would

447
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:53.599
imagine the terrain that the bigfoot would live in forested

448
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:59.960
and rocky areas, probably would keep the nails trimmed artificially

449
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:05.759
just by climbing and doing other squatchy activities. But it

450
00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:09.279
still got me thinking, you know, if you saw a

451
00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:13.000
bigfoot sitting on a boulder picking its toenails, that would

452
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:18.240
be pretty disturbing. Yeah. So here's what Wikipedia had to

453
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:22.279
offer on the subject of well does a bigfoot groom itself?

454
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:26.079
And it goes on to say whether or not bigfoot,

455
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:31.920
a creature of folklore, engages in grooming behaviors is unknown, really,

456
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:39.079
as there is no scientific evidence to confirm its existence. Bigfoot,

457
00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:48.559
also known as sas sasquatch, is generally described as a large, hairy,

458
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:53.559
ape like creature. The idea of grooming, a behavior common

459
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:58.880
in primates and other mammals, is purely speculative, given the

460
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:05.960
lack of verifying information about Bigfoot's anatomy, physiology, or behavior.

461
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:11.720
Well that's not helpful. According to the Rocky Mountain Sasquatch

462
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:17.640
Organization's Facebook page, a question was posted, does Bigfoot have

463
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:22.200
dirty matted hair or do they groom themselves? The reply

464
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:26.640
is I believe they groom themselves just like other primemates do.

465
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:30.839
And as far as the scent, most animals you sent

466
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:36.279
to one degree or another to communicate anyway, talk amongst

467
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:39.559
yourselves on this subject. You know, I've seen gorillas pick

468
00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:44.039
their nose. I could imagine that a bigfoot would also.

469
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:49.319
When we come back hock Toy Hills.

470
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.559

00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:40.640

499
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.160

on to Hey, Henry, there he goes, I'm trying to

503
00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:57.839
have a video format that works, So there we go.

504
00:31:58.599 --> 00:31:59.759
We'll switch up, Henry.

505
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:00.759
Is this story?

506
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:06.200
Where's Alice anyhow? Jimmy, thanks for hanging on there with us.

507
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:08.440
We'll let you Henry. I'll let you kick it over

508
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:09.640
and take any questions.

509
00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:15.519
Okay, well, Jimmy, I'm where are you actually from?

510
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:22.319
Originally originally from Rock Rock, Texas? So okay Texas. Yes.

511
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:27.799
What do you think of the possibility of sasquatch being

512
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:32.480
in East Texas, especially in the Big Thicket Forestedarios?

513
00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:37.480
Oh, I'm positive they're there. I don't know if you've

514
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:41.200
ever heard of area, but that is in the Big

515
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:47.200
Thicket kind of in the sam Houston Forest, which is

516
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:50.480
part of the Big Piney Wood. So uh, I never

517
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:54.200
had an experience that I recognize as a kid out

518
00:32:54.240 --> 00:33:02.640
there with one. But if you're there, can I can

519
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:08.880
I say something about grooming the bullhorn I was listening

520
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:10.640
to that and that was awesome, by the way, vance

521
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:17.599
bigfoot and grooming. So I saw a bigfoot November tenth

522
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:21.000
of last year when I was driving down I ninety

523
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:25.759
west coming home from camping, and it was standing in

524
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:28.839
a river bed about seventy five yards off the highway.

525
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.240
It was totally shocked that it was standing there. But

526
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:34.759
one of the things that stood out to me was

527
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:39.279
I expected the hair to be matted and shaggy, and

528
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:42.880
it wasn't. The hair that was hanging off of its

529
00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:46.960
arms was about four to six inches long, and it

530
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:51.000
was it appeared to be very well groomed. I believe

531
00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:54.680
that they used that river bed as a point of

532
00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:59.480
ingress and egress down out of the North Cascades from

533
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:03.319
the path coming down into the area of North Bend, Washington,

534
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:09.159
because after I saw mine, the hunter reached out and

535
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:11.840
said he saw one three weeks before I did in

536
00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:14.880
the same location. And then I was on a video

537
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:18.440
and somebody else contacted me through there and said I

538
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:22.360
also saw one in that same riverbed. So that once

539
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:24.880
been seen or they've been seeing three times in that

540
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:27.880
riverbed in the same location. But the one I saw

541
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:31.360
it was really surprising to me. It appeared to be

542
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:38.639
very well grimmed. It wasn't all matted and shaggy. Hmmm, wow,

543
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:46.880
pork up, can you hear you? That was me?

544
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:48.559
There we go?

545
00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:49.119
That was me.

546
00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:52.480
You know, it's an interesting observation because oftentimes, you know,

547
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:56.159
we get reports of these stinky, uh you know, kind

548
00:34:56.199 --> 00:35:00.480
of dirty, matted, matted creatures, but not always and you know,

549
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:02.599
the observation that you had of it being in the

550
00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:06.519
creek bed riverbed rather, it is interesting. You know, you

551
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:10.719
wonder if it's do they have like a like a

552
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:12.840
timing schedule, like do they have a bath time? Do

553
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:15.559
they have a you know, a set frequency upon which

554
00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:17.440
they do do they do it based on need? You know, hey,

555
00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:19.639
you know I'm really ripe right now? Do I need

556
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:20.920
to go check in the river?

557
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:25.559
Does missus sas question? Not tonight, buddy, you got to

558
00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:26.039
go take a.

559
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:30.119
Bath, right, A little sasquad sunset action we got going

560
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:35.519
on here? Oh, but no, it's a very interesting observation.

561
00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:36.719
Go ahead, bake. Did you have a question?

562
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:40.239
I just was there was a clean the pits moment.

563
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:40.519
There.

564
00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:44.760
You know I'm muting you because your dogs are going

565
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:45.719
crazy in the background.

566
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:50.159
Pal Uh. I'd also like to mention something else, if

567
00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:55.239
it's okay about hunger always. I think it's tremendous what

568
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:59.360
you're doing with this Squatching out hunger campaign. Thank you.

569
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:03.960
I'm supporting it. I'm asking everybody else to support it.

570
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:08.760
The reason it's so important to me is about oh,

571
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:13.599
twenty three years ago, I became homeless due to a

572
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:17.360
number of situations. The main thing was I didn't like

573
00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:20.480
to work very much at that time, and I got

574
00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:26.199
myself into a really bad situation with a disintegrating relationship,

575
00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:30.880
ended up getting divorced, going from place to place, living

576
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:34.199
with an uncle. And I had a lot of food

577
00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:37.599
insecurity because like I was on the Raman diet for

578
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:40.440
a while when I had food and all I ate

579
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:43.480
for weeks on weeks and the weeks was ramen, and

580
00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:46.320
sometimes I didn't have that and I had just bread

581
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:49.719
and I made ketchup sandwiches because I couldn't afford meat.

582
00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:56.360
So having food insecurities, I completely understand that. And let

583
00:36:56.440 --> 00:37:00.280
me tell you, the weight of that on somebody is tremendous,

584
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:05.079
absolutely bring them down to where you know, they become helpless.

585
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:07.239
You don't know where your next mill is coming from,

586
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:09.800
if you're going to starve to death or what. So

587
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:11.639
I just want to say I applaud you and I

588
00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:14.639
really appreciate what you're doing because it's important to me too.

589
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:18.239
Thank you, Jimmy really is. And thank you for sharing that,

590
00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:20.440
you know with everybody, because I think it's important for people.

591
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:20.599
Know.

592
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:23.239
People think it can't happen to them, and the reality

593
00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:26.039
is it can. And it's happened to friends, it's happened

594
00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:27.840
to families, and sometimes it's happened to people we didn't

595
00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:31.079
even realize it's happening too. Yeah, And so I'm just

596
00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:35.280
asking folks to, you know, think about if anything in

597
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:38.719
this world, you know, and Jimmy, we hear everybody say

598
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:41.360
people out here just to make money or what a bullshit.

599
00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:44.159
I've lost more money in Bigfoot than I've ever made

600
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:48.000
and I always will. This podcast costs me money. We're

601
00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:49.960
not raking in the dough. Trust me. If even for

602
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:51.679
a little as two dollars a month that you could

603
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:56.400
support the Patreon, it's still a lot of the out

604
00:37:56.440 --> 00:37:58.599
of the pocket fund. But one of the things I'm

605
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:00.920
passionate about it. We have a platform, I'm an opportunity

606
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:05.400
to do some good. Let's do it. Let's let's engage

607
00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:08.440
our listeners and our audience and get people, you know,

608
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:12.119
interested in helping out somebody else, whether it's a buck,

609
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:15.960
it's whatever. Let's let's do our due diligence. Let's be

610
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:19.000
better neighbors, Let's be better people and help somebody. This

611
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:21.280
world's getting to be a terrible place. And if you

612
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:24.119
could just think about somebody else for one minute, makes

613
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:26.840
all the difference in the world. And trust me, Jimmy,

614
00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:29.559
you know from sharing your experience, you know being hungry

615
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:34.039
affects the mental health as much as the physical. Absolutely,

616
00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:36.880
And you know what, as men, we need to support

617
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:39.039
each other and build each other up in that uh

618
00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:41.440
process as well. I know you guys came here to

619
00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:43.800
talk about Bigfoot, Jimmy and I get that, but you know,

620
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:45.800
I think we have to. It's a serious, you know,

621
00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:47.760
serious thing. We have to talk about these things. They're

622
00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:51.000
important to our world. And Henry or I'll kick it

623
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:53.000
back to you, I stepped on you and took your thunder.

624
00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:56.800
I'm sorry, brother, Oh it's Okay, don't brought no problem.

625
00:38:57.159 --> 00:39:00.960
Also, Jimmie, I want to ask about three old footprints.

626
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:03.960
What is your opinion on three toad footprints? And do

627
00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:10.400
you think that a viable primate population would be able

628
00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:13.000
to support itself on three toes.

629
00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:18.920
Physiologically? I'm not sure that they could. I'm probably the

630
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:22.119
wrong person to answer to ask that. Probably more like

631
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:26.119
doctor Meldrum would know better. I think that is it

632
00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:30.679
possible that there could be a three toad creature out there? Yeah,

633
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:33.639
there's other creatures that have three toes, so could it

634
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:40.079
support the weight? I'm not sure. I think maybe it

635
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:45.159
could also be maybe not a complete print at times.

636
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:49.039
I know that well Sew knows. Recently, I was in

637
00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:53.000
the Blue Mountains camping with a large group out there.

638
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:57.519
We went out and visited the Spreaman site and two

639
00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:00.400
of the people that were there were female mother and

640
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:03.000
a daughter, and they had gone out into the tree

641
00:40:03.079 --> 00:40:07.559
room bathroom and something grinded at them and they thought

642
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:09.480
it was a bear. So they came out They're like,

643
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:12.039
you know, hey, something just grinted at us. So everybody

644
00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:15.599
kind of gathers up and we, you know a lot

645
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:17.559
of us are armed. We make our way out into

646
00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:19.239
the tree line to try to figure out, you know,

647
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:21.760
what's going on out there, and we find a footprint.

648
00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:29.840
It's it wasn't extremely long, it was very wide. It

649
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:32.840
had the mid tarsl break, and that's the first time

650
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:35.360
I've got to see that in person. Had the mid

651
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:39.480
tarsl break the ball of the foot, but it only

652
00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:43.239
had one toad present in the print. And I was

653
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:45.239
trying to figure out, Okay, well why is that and

654
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:48.519
also why is there only one print? There's just this

655
00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:52.079
one print twenty feet inside the tree line, and I'm

656
00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:54.559
standing back and I'm kind of looking at it, observing

657
00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:57.719
the scene, trying to put the pieces together and figure

658
00:40:57.719 --> 00:41:00.760
it out. And there's a big red seed tree there

659
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:06.360
that is pretty large, and if something was standing behind

660
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:09.519
that cedar tree and it leaned out on the outside

661
00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:13.000
edge of their foot to peek around, it would have

662
00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:15.119
just kind of the outside edge of the foot and

663
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:19.280
maybe just the pinky toe. So maybe it's dependent upon

664
00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:22.760
how they're standing as to what's present in the print.

665
00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:27.800
I guess. Really, that's all I could say about that.

666
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:29.960
I don't have the knowledge to be able to speak

667
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:34.599
physiologically about it. Good question, though, right think about it.

668
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:37.519
You're saying it has to do also maybe with the

669
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:40.679
positioning in their gate. Yeah, because I've seen a lot

670
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:42.840
of the I've seen a lot of them. I was

671
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:45.920
watching the Josh Gates special they one time, and he

672
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:48.639
was in one of the it was in South America,

673
00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:50.719
and he said, you know, he saw a three toed,

674
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:54.840
a three toed one, but then he noticed that the

675
00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:58.079
way it was that there was like a slant, so

676
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:02.079
it was like a slurt almost like there might have

677
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:04.519
been more toes, but there wasn't enough pressing on the

678
00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:07.639
other toes. And also it was kind of an embankment,

679
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:09.800
so it brought down. And I think that's a lot

680
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:13.519
of times as you see you see partials, you don't

681
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:17.800
get the whole footprint. Three does.

682
00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:21.280
Yeah, And I was just you know, like I said,

683
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:24.119
I was just down in Oregon and I was I

684
00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:26.880
was down there with Michelle Heaton, who's the leader of

685
00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:30.400
the Sweet Home Sasquatch Research Group. Shout out to her

686
00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:33.119
because she was a great host. Took me out to

687
00:42:33.159 --> 00:42:37.199
her research area and she showed me pictures. We couldn't

688
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:40.719
get out there that evening, but there's an area out

689
00:42:40.760 --> 00:42:46.400
there that is moss covered road that's paved underneath, and

690
00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:49.840
she found some really great tracks out there, but some

691
00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:53.360
of them looked kind of weird, and they were elongated,

692
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:58.159
and one had the hill and it kind of was curved,

693
00:42:58.519 --> 00:43:01.159
and then it didn't have all the toes present. But

694
00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:02.920
to me, when I looked at it, it looked like

695
00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:07.760
maybe it slid, and looking at it through that eyes,

696
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:11.159
maybe it happened slid on the slick moss. Maybe it

697
00:43:11.199 --> 00:43:16.000
was running. Then it could create those aberrations in the print.

698
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:20.239
So I think you have to really consider the whole scene.

699
00:43:21.039 --> 00:43:24.119
Look at everything that's going on there. What's the what's

700
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:28.000
the substrate, what's the material that the footprints in, what

701
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:30.519
are the conditions? How old is it? Could it have

702
00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:33.639
been raining, could it be sliding? Could it be you

703
00:43:33.679 --> 00:43:38.840
know the infamous double bear step. Is it super long

704
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:42.079
because it slid? Maybe it was coming downhill. I think

705
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:43.559
you have to consider all of that.

706
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:47.199
All I can think of at the moment is, you know,

707
00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:48.880
you said, did it did it slip? And you know,

708
00:43:48.920 --> 00:43:50.719
you wonder how many times do these guys do they

709
00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:53.480
have clumsy accidents like we do? Do they go ass

710
00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:56.280
over tea categal down downhills and Henry. You know, we

711
00:43:56.360 --> 00:43:59.519
go back years. We interviewed Skip from back and remember

712
00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:02.960
Skip was telling us the story but if the Bigfoot

713
00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:06.639
fell down the mountain mm hmm, right in front of

714
00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:09.079
them and Jimmy, I don't know if familiar with that story,

715
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:10.920
but it fell down the mountains that it was on.

716
00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:13.119
It was on Unsolved Mysteries way back in the day.

717
00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:18.519
And uh, yeah, I remember that, and I think you're right.

718
00:44:18.760 --> 00:44:22.039
They're they're like us, and some of them may be

719
00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:22.840
big and stupid.

720
00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:30.360
And so something else happened. Yeah, maybe he stepped on

721
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:31.079
ground hornets.

722
00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:32.320
Yeah.

723
00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:36.639
So my radio name in groups is usually a cowboy. Uh,

724
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:40.039
but this trip to the Blue Mountains had the opportunity

725
00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:42.360
to ride a many back mini bike, which I ended

726
00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:45.679
up crashing and falling. And then when we were on

727
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:49.159
the pall at the Paul Freeman site coming back down,

728
00:44:49.239 --> 00:44:51.960
I tripped over the log that he stepped over and

729
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:54.360
I fell again. So we changed my radio name to

730
00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:55.159
the Fall Guy.

731
00:44:56.480 --> 00:44:58.880
The Fall Guy. Now, you and I talked about your

732
00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:01.800
trip out there to the Freeman site, and do you

733
00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:03.760
want to share some of those insights you had with me?

734
00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:05.239
You know, you and I were talking, you know, we

735
00:45:05.360 --> 00:45:08.760
talk about how you know he gets some chaff because he's,

736
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:11.079
you know, out of breath in that video. You've been

737
00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:13.239
to the you've been to the area, you know what

738
00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:14.199
it's physically like.

739
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:18.320
Yeah, that's a good point. And I just watched her

740
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:21.440
listen to that episode recently and it kind of brought

741
00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:24.840
that to mind. So I was at the Freeman side

742
00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:27.400
at the end of June and I got to go

743
00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:30.159
down there two different times while we were camped there.

744
00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:38.000
The first time I went down, the first thing that

745
00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:41.400
really grabbed me is how close it is to the spring.

746
00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:45.920
It's a very short walk. Also, it's a lot more

747
00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:49.599
uphill than you would think that it is. It's something

748
00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:56.559
that video and especially photography cannot capture and translate. And

749
00:45:56.639 --> 00:45:58.800
it's one of the things that I struggle with as

750
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:04.639
off road automotive photographer, trying to capture enclines to show

751
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:07.840
like how extreme the position a vehicle may be in,

752
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:10.840
but it just doesn't come through. And the very same

753
00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:13.639
thing happens with this. So one of the reasons he's

754
00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:17.280
probably that contributes. I can tell you it contributed to

755
00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:19.360
him being out of breath as the incline that he

756
00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:24.480
had to go up the other thing is he was

757
00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:26.639
a hell of a lot closer than it appears in

758
00:46:26.679 --> 00:46:30.440
the video when you're standing where he was standing when

759
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:33.639
he goes, oh there he goes, it's not very far

760
00:46:33.719 --> 00:46:36.320
at all. It was shocking how close that it was.

761
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:40.039
And the video camera that he was using back in

762
00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:45.760
ninety two like can't capture that depth perception very well,

763
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:47.760
so it appears like it's a lot further than it

764
00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:48.400
really is.

765
00:46:48.719 --> 00:46:51.360
Do you know what he was using? Which VHS camera

766
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:55.199
he was using, Jimmie or Henry.

767
00:46:55.599 --> 00:46:58.440
I don't know that. I don't know.

768
00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:02.159
I'd have to go back and re read Michael Freeman's.

769
00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:04.960
Book about Freeman, about Paul, about his father.

770
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:09.039
Yeah, gotcha, I remember what kind of camera it was. Sorry,

771
00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:10.719
didn't jump in there. I just thought, you know, maybe

772
00:47:10.760 --> 00:47:13.719
it was a little relevant. Go ahead, guys. There's another

773
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:21.119
book called I think It's Into the Blues by Vance Vance.

774
00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:24.559
Uh Big for the Blues, Big for the Blues. So

775
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:27.159
I just started reading that because it was recommended to

776
00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:29.480
me because like, we went to a lot of those places.

777
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:33.119
But it may have that in there as well. And

778
00:47:33.159 --> 00:47:35.480
then I'll tell you also, a really great resource for

779
00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:39.880
this is Jonathan Easley, that guy has got a tremendous

780
00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:43.679
amount of knowledge about that site. And the second time

781
00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:47.480
I went back down there, I met Jonathan Easley down

782
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:50.960
there and he did a complete walkthrough of everything and

783
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:55.960
the breakdown of how it went down. He had gone

784
00:47:56.000 --> 00:48:01.280
out there and helped rediscover that location and also figure out,

785
00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:04.679
you know, based on measurements and distances, the tree that

786
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:08.239
you see in the in the Freeman video, the Christmas

787
00:48:08.239 --> 00:48:11.639
tree was only about twelve feet tall back then, and

788
00:48:11.719 --> 00:48:15.039
it's grown considerably now. I can send you some pictures

789
00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:18.360
and some video of what it looks like today. Wow,

790
00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:22.360
It's it's like crazy to actually stand there and look

791
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:25.159
at it and go, You're like, you know, one of

792
00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:29.400
the iconic moments and all of bigfooty happened right there,

793
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:32.320
and it was just such an incredible honor to be

794
00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:33.639
able to participate in that.

795
00:48:36.159 --> 00:48:39.320
What do you think being there on the ground seeing

796
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:42.880
the spot that Freeman walked, do you think it added

797
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:46.760
any more credibility in your mind or any more authenticity

798
00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:48.559
of it that you know you were actually there and

799
00:48:48.599 --> 00:48:51.719
able to see some of the physical terrain and just

800
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:54.559
the area where this. You know, one of the more

801
00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:56.360
famous bigfoot videos have been taken.

802
00:48:57.280 --> 00:49:02.079
Yeah, it's really remote, and their signs all over the

803
00:49:02.199 --> 00:49:05.360
dirt road you take to get there that tell you

804
00:49:05.559 --> 00:49:08.079
stay out of the watershed. That's where the city of

805
00:49:08.119 --> 00:49:10.360
Walla Walla gets there drinking water from. And that's what

806
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:13.360
his job was out there, was a forced patrolman to

807
00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:17.599
protect that watershed and keep you know, their drinking water

808
00:49:18.760 --> 00:49:22.159
in good condition. And so I think he took that

809
00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:26.239
very seriously, and he was in a prime location to

810
00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:31.400
you know, find footprints. Then he saw at least one

811
00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:36.840
prior to when he recorded that video, and that prompted

812
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:39.679
him to go into town and get his video recorder

813
00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:43.440
come back out. And then you know, as he's going

814
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:46.360
up the trail there, like I said, it's a really

815
00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:48.679
short walk from the spring itself and that it starts

816
00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:52.320
going uphill and you can see, like I'm walking up

817
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:54.840
that trail and I can see the footprints and everything

818
00:49:54.880 --> 00:49:59.679
is just replaying through my mind, and you hear him go,

819
00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:02.880
you know, here brush popping, yep, right there, and then

820
00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:05.920
the camera pads, Oh, there he goes, and you see

821
00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:08.280
it come out and walk from right to left. Then

822
00:50:08.320 --> 00:50:10.440
if you look here, it turns and looks at him.

823
00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:19.320
Then it goes behind the tree here and it peeks out.

824
00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:21.880
See it peeked out again, and then it walks off again.

825
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:24.599
Then he makes his way up the trail from there,

826
00:50:25.719 --> 00:50:27.960
kind of scrambling up there to try to catch up

827
00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:31.920
to it, and then he sees what we believe is

828
00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:36.719
a female sasquatch through the trees. And Doug Hichecked did

829
00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:40.400
a video stabilization that he was able to show Paul

830
00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:44.760
Freeman before he passed away, where you can see it

831
00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:46.840
looks like a small one being picked up. You can

832
00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:51.320
see the legs coming up off of the ground. And

833
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:56.320
so there's a lot of thought that that area. There's

834
00:50:56.360 --> 00:51:01.360
like a ravine that goes down into the creek, the

835
00:51:01.400 --> 00:51:11.360
creek that sped from the spring, and and it also

836
00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:16.440
goes little ones.

837
00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:20.800
Oh no, we're good. We had a little technical difficulty there, Jimmy.

838
00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:23.079
You didn't know your last last thought on that.

839
00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:26.400
So maybe that's an area they used to drop the

840
00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:28.679
little ones off and then they could go out and forge.

841
00:51:28.760 --> 00:51:33.159
There's water. It's a very protected area, but it's very remote.

842
00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:36.239
Big food tack here. Take care that what that's what

843
00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:36.719
it's called.

844
00:51:36.760 --> 00:51:41.800
Now, you know, it's always one of those pieces that

845
00:51:41.840 --> 00:51:45.280
have fascinated me personally, and Henry, you and I have

846
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:48.119
talked about it for years, but it's always been you know,

847
00:51:48.239 --> 00:51:51.719
I've always held it to you know, I don't know

848
00:51:51.960 --> 00:51:56.519
a high standard to my own uh being out there,

849
00:51:56.559 --> 00:51:57.639
I personally.

850
00:51:57.199 --> 00:52:00.280
All the more believable to answer your question, and it

851
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:02.039
like really solidified it for me.

852
00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:09.199
Yeah, I believe that that footage is of a female.

853
00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:10.400
It's actually a female.

854
00:52:10.440 --> 00:52:14.119
It's big gill, not big gym.

855
00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:16.400
Could be she may have been with child.

856
00:52:18.920 --> 00:52:20.320
Maybe she's just a big girl.

857
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:26.920
Yeah right, she's just a big Well, since we can't

858
00:52:26.920 --> 00:52:28.280
see Jenna Tale.

859
00:52:31.239 --> 00:52:31.880
I made.

860
00:52:34.239 --> 00:52:38.840
Smoking for two anyhow, Sorry, Jimmy, go ahead.

861
00:52:39.239 --> 00:52:44.239
Don't worry. Yeah, I mean, we really don't know what

862
00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:47.360
sex it was. It's just kind of conjecture that it

863
00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:48.679
was a mallet. Could have been a female.

864
00:52:48.679 --> 00:52:51.679
We don't know, right, I think it would be more

865
00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:53.760
odd if it was a female, you know, I think

866
00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:54.400
that would.

867
00:52:54.159 --> 00:52:56.880
Add even more. I don't know.

868
00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:00.800
Well, doubt to it being that Patty was female, and

869
00:53:00.840 --> 00:53:03.079
you know, we're all bigfoot film females, so so it

870
00:53:03.119 --> 00:53:04.000
goes down that line.

871
00:53:04.039 --> 00:53:07.320
But maybe they are. Well. I think it was a

872
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:10.039
whole family group there for one so I think you

873
00:53:10.119 --> 00:53:12.280
had the male, and then you had the female, and

874
00:53:12.320 --> 00:53:16.239
you had a child, So I think it was a

875
00:53:16.239 --> 00:53:19.159
whole family group. And then if there's three there, how

876
00:53:19.199 --> 00:53:21.760
many more were there that we didn't see or that

877
00:53:21.800 --> 00:53:23.039
weren't seen at that time.

878
00:53:24.039 --> 00:53:25.920
We all saw the end of Harry and the Henderson's

879
00:53:26.920 --> 00:53:27.639
they came out of.

880
00:53:27.639 --> 00:53:34.320
Nowhere, So it's a super squatchy place even today. One

881
00:53:34.360 --> 00:53:36.920
of the people that were with us with his wife,

882
00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:40.000
they were on one of the four service roads and

883
00:53:40.039 --> 00:53:43.360
dirt road that we were camped off of, and recorded

884
00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:48.480
a vocal that was very loud, very strong, and very long.

885
00:53:51.559 --> 00:53:54.400
It was pretty crazy to think, you know, that was

886
00:53:54.519 --> 00:53:57.800
right there. And then there's also like an abundance of

887
00:53:57.800 --> 00:54:01.639
other wildlife there. We heard cougar uh screaming at night.

888
00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:07.719
There was an interaction with a lone wolf circling the

889
00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:11.199
camp a couple of nights before I got there. One

890
00:54:11.199 --> 00:54:14.239
of the guys was playing a flute and I think

891
00:54:14.519 --> 00:54:16.840
a wolf did not like the flute. But listening to

892
00:54:16.920 --> 00:54:19.679
the audio, it doesn't sound like a wolf at first.

893
00:54:19.719 --> 00:54:21.760
It sounds like trying to figure out, like, Okay, what

894
00:54:21.840 --> 00:54:25.760
the hell is that? And I'm sure it was terrifying. Well,

895
00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:27.760
maybe not terrifying, but it was pretty scary to have

896
00:54:27.800 --> 00:54:33.000
a large predator circling your camp and hollering and howling. Uh.

897
00:54:33.079 --> 00:54:36.079
But they eventually figured out that they believe it was

898
00:54:36.440 --> 00:54:39.599
a lone wolf because of the how all the lonesome

899
00:54:39.679 --> 00:54:42.559
how Okay, there was a lot of interesting stuff that

900
00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:45.400
happened out there. I can't wait to go back home.

901
00:54:46.079 --> 00:54:46.239
You know.

902
00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:48.199
One of the things we've been ever since we had

903
00:54:48.239 --> 00:54:51.199
David Zigane on the show was, you know, getting folks

904
00:54:51.239 --> 00:54:54.519
to know the audio the animals in the areas you're

905
00:54:54.519 --> 00:54:57.800
you're frequenting, right, and you know, as to you say,

906
00:54:57.800 --> 00:55:00.119
they're Jimmy that you know, it sounded like a if.

907
00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:03.440
There are some things that sound very strange, like we

908
00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:05.920
got waken up in the middle of the night here

909
00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:10.119
in northern Pennsylvania by what sounded like a woman being murdered.

910
00:55:11.079 --> 00:55:11.559
Uh.

911
00:55:11.840 --> 00:55:15.639
And it was a horrifying sound, you know. And you know,

912
00:55:15.719 --> 00:55:17.679
you got I jumped out in my T shirt and

913
00:55:17.679 --> 00:55:20.320
boxer shorts. You got guys jumping out in their pajamas

914
00:55:20.360 --> 00:55:22.159
or whatever, trying to figure out what the hell this

915
00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:24.960
sound is At three four o'clock in the morning. It

916
00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:27.119
was horrifying. And it turns out I think it was

917
00:55:27.199 --> 00:55:29.159
a well, I think we determined it was an elk

918
00:55:30.039 --> 00:55:33.639
of all things that was just making a horrifying sound,

919
00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:37.840
and you know, lo and behold not the next morning

920
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:41.639
we found a footprint around the campsite, So I mean

921
00:55:41.840 --> 00:55:44.440
not ch, No, it was a it was you know,

922
00:55:44.840 --> 00:55:49.239
like it looked like a big foot impression. Uh, it's

923
00:55:49.239 --> 00:55:50.719
just these little things that you're running into.

924
00:55:51.119 --> 00:55:53.280
You have your explanation there, all right.

925
00:55:53.159 --> 00:55:55.159
I'm telling you what, man, you've heard sound in the

926
00:55:55.199 --> 00:55:57.639
middle of the night. I think everybody that has gone

927
00:55:57.679 --> 00:55:59.920
out and put the time in the field has had

928
00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:04.760
these moments where they're like, oh shit, what's that? And

929
00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:07.679
it's scary when you're out there and you hear these things,

930
00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:09.559
and you know when you have I don't know how

931
00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:12.119
you felt when you had your encounter. I know with

932
00:56:12.320 --> 00:56:15.119
mine it was you know, what the hell did I

933
00:56:15.159 --> 00:56:20.599
get myself into? But it was definitely a world changing

934
00:56:21.079 --> 00:56:21.360
for me.

935
00:56:23.679 --> 00:56:26.559
I talk about it a little bit in episode one

936
00:56:26.599 --> 00:56:28.599
of my show, and I've been on a couple of

937
00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:30.920
other shows and talked about it, but just really briefly,

938
00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:35.000
I was up in a rooftop tent on top of

939
00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:38.559
my Forerunner and had what I believe was a big

940
00:56:38.599 --> 00:56:42.840
foot circling my Forerunner at twelve thirty in the morning.

941
00:56:43.519 --> 00:56:47.480
And what walked me up is a real heavy crunching footstep,

942
00:56:47.559 --> 00:56:51.719
so like if you're parked on gravel and a vehic

943
00:56:51.800 --> 00:56:54.280
when you turn the tire. That sound that it makes,

944
00:56:54.519 --> 00:56:57.840
it's exactly what I heard. And then I was listening

945
00:56:57.920 --> 00:57:01.400
very intently, and it made a circle onto my rig

946
00:57:02.159 --> 00:57:04.800
until it got to the annex that I had zipped

947
00:57:04.840 --> 00:57:07.599
into the rooftop tent that looks like just a big

948
00:57:07.639 --> 00:57:10.559
tent on the side of my Forerunner. And I heard

949
00:57:10.599 --> 00:57:15.039
it get the fabrick and stretch it, zipper jiggled, and

950
00:57:15.480 --> 00:57:16.719
let me tell you, I was terrified.

951
00:57:17.440 --> 00:57:18.119
I could imagine.

952
00:57:18.159 --> 00:57:20.480
I can still feel it. Every time I talk about it,

953
00:57:20.519 --> 00:57:24.239
my chest tightens up a little bit. It was very scary.

954
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:27.599
I didn't know if it was fixing to rip it

955
00:57:27.639 --> 00:57:30.559
open and come in and snatch me out of that tent.

956
00:57:30.840 --> 00:57:33.960
There's nothing I could have done if it had, even

957
00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:36.000
if I was armed, it wouldn't have done any good.

958
00:57:37.119 --> 00:57:39.719
But that's kind of what kicked all this off for me.

959
00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:42.599
And that was back in June of twenty twenty three

960
00:57:43.800 --> 00:57:47.400
when I had that experience dispersed camping, that kind of

961
00:57:48.440 --> 00:57:50.920
rekindled my interest in all of this and being in

962
00:57:50.920 --> 00:57:55.000
the Pacific Northwest, and I'd started talking about, you know,

963
00:57:55.119 --> 00:57:58.840
overlanding and off roading, maybe doing a podcast, and then

964
00:57:59.079 --> 00:58:01.599
you know, the dream finally came true and got that

965
00:58:01.719 --> 00:58:05.280
kicked off. So I'm really looking forward to what the

966
00:58:05.320 --> 00:58:08.679
future brings and being able to contribute however I can

967
00:58:09.320 --> 00:58:12.199
to the community. It's full of great folks like yourselves.

968
00:58:12.639 --> 00:58:13.679
Thank you.

969
00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:18.039
Like Mark Mercel says in his presentation, it's not going

970
00:58:18.079 --> 00:58:20.960
to be one person that's going to make a discovery.

971
00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:24.599
It's going to be everybody working together because you may

972
00:58:24.639 --> 00:58:26.519
have a piece to the puzzle that I don't have,

973
00:58:27.320 --> 00:58:30.280
and whenever we talk and collaborate and we compare notes,

974
00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:32.280
that's where discoveries can happen.

975
00:58:33.199 --> 00:58:37.840
Absolutely, I think that's incredibly well said Jimmy. Where can

976
00:58:37.880 --> 00:58:40.239
folks find out more about your show and find out

977
00:58:40.239 --> 00:58:40.840
more about you?

978
00:58:41.599 --> 00:58:45.639
Thank you? So you can go to www dot off

979
00:58:45.719 --> 00:58:50.199
roadexfiles dot com. I have a page for my podcast

980
00:58:50.280 --> 00:58:53.400
on there with links to the feed. The podcast is

981
00:58:53.400 --> 00:59:00.880
currently on Spotify, Amazon, Podcast, Audible, iHeartRadio episode was released

982
00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:04.519
last night. I'm really excited about that one. It's my

983
00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:09.159
first adventure into storytelling and interviewing. So part of it

984
00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:12.079
is talking about the legend of the hairy Man in

985
00:59:12.159 --> 00:59:14.719
Round Rock and the Old West. It goes all the

986
00:59:14.760 --> 00:59:18.000
way back to the eighteen fifties until the nineteen eighties.

987
00:59:18.760 --> 00:59:22.840
The whole episode covers kind of that area. But everything

988
00:59:22.920 --> 00:59:27.760
you can find on my website, including my build for

989
00:59:27.920 --> 00:59:31.440
my Forerunner, everything that I've put into that links to

990
00:59:31.519 --> 00:59:34.480
it kind of what it does. And I'm going to

991
00:59:34.480 --> 00:59:37.159
be adding to that. So the website's the best place.

992
00:59:38.119 --> 00:59:41.000
Check them out. Folks. As always support great research and

993
00:59:41.079 --> 00:59:44.400
great researchers and podcasts. That's why we bring folks on

994
00:59:44.440 --> 00:59:47.559
to talk about it and spread the good word. More

995
00:59:47.599 --> 00:59:50.199
boots on the ground, more eyes on the mystery. That's

996
00:59:50.239 --> 00:59:52.360
what's going to solve it. And we thank you for
