3:09
SPEAKER_07: Um, I absolutely love your content, it's hilarious.
3:12
SPEAKER_07: Um so why don't you give us like kind of the premise of of what um you know your channels are or your your uh channels all about?
3:22
SPEAKER_05: So I do uh bird content and I basically do comedy, comedy skits and funny stuff related to me uh out there birding.
3:34
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
3:35
SPEAKER_05: So I basically want to bring awareness to you know let people know that birding isn't as dumb as what they think, and it can be exciting and fun and you know, unexpected things that can happen and stuff like that.
3:49
SPEAKER_05: So I just want to bring people in that wouldn't normally consider it, yeah, and also make it so it's watchable for everyone.
4:02
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you know, like even if somebody is if they're like, I don't like birds, and I've gotten messages like, you know, I never considered bird watching or I've not wanted to look at birds, but I love your content, and now I'm starting to notice birds, and that was exactly what I wanted, you know.
4:20
SPEAKER_07: That's awesome, like outside of the common sort of yeah, yeah, because it was funny.
4:27
SPEAKER_05: Um, when I started this, uh, me and my best friend were like throwing around ideas, and he was like, Hey, he was like, because I was like, I really want to do an Instagram channel, and I was like, but I want to do funny stuff, you know.
4:43
SPEAKER_05: And um, my teenage son was like, You can't do that, like there's no way, like you would never be able to do something like that, and that just lit a fire under me even more, you know.
4:55
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, right.
4:56
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, so I was like, I'll show you you show.
5:04
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, and so while me and my best friend were talking, I was like, Oh my god, did you see that?
5:09
SPEAKER_05: I was like, That was a summer tanager, and he goes, That's what you do.
5:13
SPEAKER_05: He was like, Do bird content, and I was like, But there's plenty of it out there.
5:17
SPEAKER_05: He goes, So make it funny.
5:19
SPEAKER_05: He was like, You're you're hilarious, make it funny.
5:22
SPEAKER_05: I was like, you know, funny stuff does happen to me, so I was like, I could make it funny, you know, because I've been out there and funny stuff has happened, so yeah, that's that's awesome.
5:34
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, it's such a good concept, and it's it's even better, I think, when it just happens like organically.
5:41
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, like the one time I'm like, this guy asked me to take photographs of him one time, um, because he's riding his bike and jogging, and he was like, Will you just like take pictures of me and like I'll pay you for them?
5:54
SPEAKER_05: And I was like, Yeah, sure.
5:56
SPEAKER_05: And then another guy came by and I mistook him for the guy.
6:00
SPEAKER_05: So I'm like taking photographs of him, and he's like, What are you doing?
6:05
SPEAKER_05: You know, and I was like, Oh my bad, wrong dude.
6:08
SPEAKER_07: Just some just some random guy, yeah, on a bike, and just weird stuff like that'll happen, but you know, that's awesome.
6:17
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, um, so I guess so I did I did have uh just like I guess a couple general questions for you.
6:26
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
6:26
SPEAKER_07: Um and actually this is for my mom, because my mom absolutely loves birds and she keeps birds, um, which I don't I don't have good, I don't have good feelings about that, but I guess some people like to keep birds.
6:38
SPEAKER_07: But so her big question and kind of my question too, because I've been seeing this a lot recently is like if I see a bird outside of a nest, like a little fledgling or a baby bird, yeah, like what do I do?
6:50
SPEAKER_05: Do I like pick up there's always like so rehabbers suggest that you um reunite before you rehab.
7:00
SPEAKER_05: So if it depends on the species, honestly.
7:03
SPEAKER_05: So let's say um you find a bird on the ground, but it's hopping and it's calling out to its parents.
7:10
SPEAKER_05: Nine times out of ten, it's a fledgling and the parents are taking care of it.
7:14
SPEAKER_08: Okay.
7:15
SPEAKER_05: And a lot of people mistake birds like that for um like birds they need to put back into the nest.
7:22
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
7:23
SPEAKER_05: But it's like it's almost like people like the birds leave the nest for a reason, right?
7:29
SPEAKER_05: They don't need to go back.
7:30
SPEAKER_05: So those birds you can leave alone.
7:35
SPEAKER_05: But let's say if it's too small and you know it's too small to take care of, you know, that its parents aren't going to take care of it like in that spot.
7:44
SPEAKER_05: If you could all if you could reunite with the nest, that's always best.
7:49
SPEAKER_05: If you can't, it's really if you could if you have a local rehabber calling them and getting the bird to a rehabber.
7:56
SPEAKER_05: Now, if the bird's injured, then it needs to go to a rehabber 100%, regardless of where it's at in its stage of life.
8:03
SPEAKER_07: So gotcha.
8:06
SPEAKER_07: That's really good info.
8:07
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
8:08
SPEAKER_07: Um, I also wanted to know why blue jays are terrible.
8:12
SPEAKER_07: Why are they awful?
8:13
SPEAKER_07: They're the worst.
8:14
SPEAKER_07: So I love them.
8:17
SPEAKER_07: They're so mean.
8:18
SPEAKER_05: They're they're just uh, you know, yeah.
8:23
SPEAKER_05: They're part of the Corvid family.
8:26
SPEAKER_05: They they're right along there with cousins and crows, you know.
8:29
SPEAKER_05: They just they they fight.
8:32
SPEAKER_05: They they're they're just out there, they're aggressive little birds.
8:35
SPEAKER_05: I mean, I like them.
8:38
SPEAKER_05: Uh I I really enjoy them.
8:41
SPEAKER_05: And it's funny because they will uh in my in my yard, they'll eat shelled peanuts.
8:46
SPEAKER_05: So I'll put the peanuts out, and you can hear the flocks starting to come, and they'll rapidly come in, get the peanuts, and they're out, they're gone.
8:53
SPEAKER_07: What's my yeah?
8:55
SPEAKER_05: They're it's fun.
8:56
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, but they chase I have a lot of um hawks in my neighborhood.
9:00
SPEAKER_05: So they um a lot so a lot of people want to keep like what's like blue jays away and mocking birds because they like to see other songbirds at their feeder.
9:10
SPEAKER_05: But I always say, you know, those those guys are like your perimeter um security when it comes to like if you don't want hawks coming down and getting songbirds at your feeder, usually those birds will keep them away.
9:24
SPEAKER_05: So that's the way I think about it.
9:26
SPEAKER_05: So I take care of them, you know.
9:28
SPEAKER_07: To keep the big like the bigger predators away.
9:31
SPEAKER_05: They chase them all the time and they bother a lot.
9:35
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
9:36
SPEAKER_07: They will they will fight a hawk.
9:37
SPEAKER_07: It's yeah, it's wild to see.
9:39
SPEAKER_03: Well, they'll do it for fun because they're bored, so we have crows, we have crows in the field behind my house, and we have hawks too, and it's really interesting watching the crows the crows and the hawks.
9:54
SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, they just they'll run around chasing them all day long.
9:57
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
10:00
SPEAKER_03: We actually we had a crow die a couple weeks ago, and we we saw them laying in the field and we were bad, but it was really neat.
10:09
SPEAKER_03: We watched all the other crows come and they like had a funeral for him.
10:12
SPEAKER_03: They were like coming around.
10:17
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
10:21
SPEAKER_07: That's crazy.
10:21
SPEAKER_07: They had like a funeral, like they were like more than their friend.
10:26
SPEAKER_07: I don't know.
10:27
SPEAKER_07: I know that I know that they're very like they're very intelligent.
10:31
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
10:32
SPEAKER_03: I think it has more to do with like territory, um, you know, territorial issues.
10:37
SPEAKER_03: Like the one died and they're like, okay, guys, like who's taking over his territory?
10:42
SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
10:43
SPEAKER_03: I don't think it's like a bad thing.
10:46
SPEAKER_03: Who's next up?
10:48
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, right.
10:52
SPEAKER_07: I love crows.
10:53
SPEAKER_07: I think they're really cool.
10:55
SPEAKER_07: Um, and I know we had a guy across the street from me that would like call them and like he had like a special like crow collar, and he would just like be like, Hey, watch this, and then like a he'd blow it and a bunch of crows would come around and like he probably fed them too.
11:13
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, he did.
11:14
SPEAKER_05: They're used to him doing that and feeding them.

SPEAKER_07: Yeah, who are you?
12:00
SPEAKER_07: And then that's it.
12:01
SPEAKER_07: I don't look it up or try to figure it out.
12:07
SPEAKER_07: I just ask it who it is and then it doesn't answer.
12:10
SPEAKER_07: Um, okay, uh, so Angela, uh one last question.
12:16
SPEAKER_07: Okay and then I want to get into your story because it is I did some research um and it's weird, um, but I have some like cool follow-up too.
12:24
SPEAKER_07: So uh what in your opinion is the weirdest bird?
12:28
SPEAKER_05: So I just learned it's funny that you asked this, and then when I saw your question come up, I was like, oh yes, I get to tell people.
12:35
SPEAKER_05: I just learned about a um Egyptian vulture and um from another podcast that I listened to, actually.
12:43
SPEAKER_05: And I've I the guy that was describing it, I was like, This sounds so weird, and I looked it up and I was like, Oh my gosh, it's extremely weird.

13:35
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, it's funny because it's like at the same time.

14:28
SPEAKER_05: Um but anyways, I saw a documentary one time.

15:52
SPEAKER_07: She can put it right on YouTube and we'll all watch exactly.
15:56
SPEAKER_07: Nobody wants to follow that journey.
15:58
SPEAKER_07: That you do you.
16:00
SPEAKER_07: Um, all right, cool.
16:04
SPEAKER_07: So why don't you why don't you set us up?
16:07
SPEAKER_07: Because you had a really, really weird experience.
16:10
SPEAKER_07: Like, that's kind of why we're here.
16:12
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
16:12
SPEAKER_07: Um, so do you want to go ahead and just set us up?
16:15
SPEAKER_07: Like the floor is yours if you want to just walk us through what happened.
16:19
SPEAKER_05: Sure.
16:20
SPEAKER_05: So I was at Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina.
16:24
SPEAKER_05: Um, there is, I was at their north access beach point, and right before you get to the access, there's a trail, and I believe it's called Sandpiper Trail that kind of circles all the way around the park, and it like borders this marsh area.
16:41
SPEAKER_05: Well, there's a lookout when you go when you go from the beach access um onto Sandpiper Terra, there's uh an observe, like a lookout over the marsh area that's right by these large sand dunes um that have like they have a bunch of um like the topography is weird, so it's just like like that beachy, you know, foresty trees and stuff and greenery, and that's all there by the dunes, but there's all this water too.
17:15
SPEAKER_05: So the water, the water is there, and you get they get a lot of birds there.
17:19
SPEAKER_05: So the when I always go there in the morning, I get there about 6 a.m.
17:24
SPEAKER_05: Okay, and that's my first spot, that's my go-to spot.
17:28
SPEAKER_05: And I go up and I look um over that observation deck.
17:32
SPEAKER_05: Well, I had my dad with me, and um, I was like, let's go, let's go up here and look because we had been going all week because we were at the beach that week.
17:41
SPEAKER_05: I was out there with my family, and so I go up on the observation deck and we're looking at stuff, and um, we started to walk down, but as you walk down the observation deck, you can still see out over the water, and there's this spot once you get halfway down, you can still look out, and I was like, Oh, look, I said uh um there's an eager out there, so I had my binoculars and I was looking through my binoculars, and behind the egret, this huge mass, and it was hairy and it was giant because I could tell how big it was based on its walking beside the dune, and I know how big that dune is because I've been uh down sandpiper trail several times, so I've been close to it, and I'm looking through my binoculars, watching this, and I'm like, Dad, dad, dad, are you seeing this?
18:34
SPEAKER_05: And of course it was far away for him to see, so he couldn't, he didn't know where I was looking at.
18:39
SPEAKER_05: Okay, and so I'm watching it and watching it, and then it walks like into the shrubbery and the greenery, and then I can't see it anymore.
18:48
SPEAKER_05: And it was so weird because um the hair on it was like beachy, kind of light brown and dark browns kind of mixed together.
19:02
SPEAKER_05: Uh-huh.
19:03
SPEAKER_05: But it it was almost like it was matching the surrounding like trees, sand kind of color.
19:11
SPEAKER_05: And when it walked behind the egret, the egret like didn't move or anything.
19:15
SPEAKER_05: Oh wow.
19:16
SPEAKER_05: Shocked about how fast it was just like in and out, yeah.
19:20
SPEAKER_05: You know, and then I threw my binoculars down and I'm looking over there, and then I'm like, I have them up again, and I'm like, it's gone, it's gone.
19:27
SPEAKER_05: And I said, Dad, I literally think I just saw Bigfoot.
19:30
SPEAKER_05: That's crazy.
19:32
SPEAKER_05: And my dad and I like we talk paranormal stuff all the time, so it was kind of funny.
19:36
SPEAKER_05: I was like, dude, I just saw Bigfoot.
19:38
SPEAKER_05: He goes, You probably did.
19:39
SPEAKER_05: What did it look like?
19:41
SPEAKER_05: You know, and he's just he's not he's not going, no, you didn't, you know.
19:47
SPEAKER_05: Oh, he must have been mistaken.
19:49
SPEAKER_05: You know, he was like, Oh, we need to come out here again the same time.
19:53
SPEAKER_05: What time is it right now?
19:54
SPEAKER_05: And I was like, Dad, it's oh my gosh, it's 6 45.
19:57
SPEAKER_05: He goes, We're coming out here tomorrow.
19:58
SPEAKER_05: We gotta be out here by at least 6 15 and we'll wait.
20:01
SPEAKER_05: Yes, yeah, dad's setting up surveillance.
20:04
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, part of that.
20:06
SPEAKER_05: I was like, I can see it in my mind's eye still, and I'm like, Oh my gosh.
20:11
SPEAKER_05: Like the hair, the hair was very long on it, and it was it was a massive creature, and it couldn't have been a bird or anything because nothing I know there is that big in that.
20:23
SPEAKER_07: So I I have a couple crystal.
20:24
SPEAKER_07: Do you have any questions for her for like this like kind of yeah?
20:29
SPEAKER_03: So, like that general area, is it all beach, and then like the other side would be like uh marsh, or is it like wooded, or is there anywhere where it could hide or live?
20:39
SPEAKER_05: It's it's very wooded, so it's wooded, like once you get out to the beach access, there is woods all over um before you get up to the marshy area in the dunes.
20:52
SPEAKER_05: So it's it's sandpiper trail is like at the trail through the forest.
20:57
SPEAKER_05: Oh, cool.
20:57
SPEAKER_05: So it's like beachy forest, and then it comes out to this like marsh area, and then the sand dunes, and then the oceans right there.
21:06
SPEAKER_05: Oh, okay.
21:07
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's really yeah.
21:08
SPEAKER_03: And then you wonder too, like if it's fur color has something to do with where it lives, is like camouflage, you know.
21:15
SPEAKER_05: Right, that's what I was like, because I was like, okay, that's weird.
21:18
SPEAKER_05: Like I just saw like a beach bigfoot.
21:20
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
21:22
SPEAKER_07: Well, that's what stood out to me when you when you do when you sent that DM, like, yeah, that's it's blonde.
21:30
SPEAKER_07: We never hear about a blonde bigfoot.
21:32
SPEAKER_07: No, and that's what I was like.
21:33
SPEAKER_05: I was like, so it's like matching the sand in the beachy wood, you know.
21:38
SPEAKER_05: I don't know a lot about um, you know, plants and trees, but it that it it was that color, you know, like that kind of driftwood, slash sand, slash beach kind of browns and grays, kind of, you know what I mean?
21:54
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
21:55
SPEAKER_05: But I saw more brown and and blonde colors going through it.
22:00
SPEAKER_05: So were you scared?
22:02
SPEAKER_05: No, I was freaking excited.
22:04
SPEAKER_05: Like it startled me what when I saw it walking because and then I was like, Am I seeing something?
22:10
SPEAKER_05: But I was like, No, I got my binoculars, you know.
22:13
SPEAKER_05: Of course I'm seeing something, you know.
22:15
SPEAKER_05: And my dad was like, Too bad you literally didn't have your camera.
22:19
SPEAKER_05: I don't that figure though, you know, like I have my camera on me, but I was looking through my binoculars at the time, and usually it's the other way around.
22:27
SPEAKER_05: Usually I have my camera, and my binoculars were just hanging there, so yeah.
22:32
SPEAKER_05: I figured I could have got some blurry picture.
22:35
SPEAKER_07: So I was just gonna say, even if you would have had a picture, it would have been blurry, it would have been very blurry, yeah.
22:40
SPEAKER_05: Because I'd have been shaking, trying to take it because my binoculars were shaking when I was looking through it.
22:45
SPEAKER_07: I was like, That's crazy.
22:48
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, that's just so wild.
22:51
SPEAKER_03: Like all around the world, Bigfoot are different color depending on where they're from.
22:56
SPEAKER_03: Like you have like the Yeti who lives in the snow and he's white, you know, and then you have like the brown like a typical sasswatch that lives in the forest and like the north northwest.
23:08
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and and like you know, that just makes a lot of sense to me that the hair color would be different depending on where it was from.
23:15
SPEAKER_05: There was there was a sighting that was like reported in the news in hunting it's hunting beach state park, um, South Carolina.
23:23
SPEAKER_05: So that's like an a it's an island park, and they saw it actually in the front entrance.
23:29
SPEAKER_05: So, but I don't know how they described that one and whether it was beachy or not.
23:35
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, so actually, um I'm gonna pull up.
23:39
SPEAKER_07: So I don't know if you are you familiar with the um, it's called the Bigfoot Field Research Researchers Organization, the BFRO.
23:47
SPEAKER_05: I think I've heard of it, yeah.
23:49
SPEAKER_07: Okay, so this they um they reported that uh of a sighting in August 2022, and that was I think it's the same one because I when I looked it up on the news, it it got some like pretty good coverage.
24:01
SPEAKER_07: So it's hunting island state park.
24:03
SPEAKER_07: Yes, yes.
24:05
SPEAKER_07: Okay, and then um yeah, so and this actually they this got some coverage, and then it also was like kind of a confirmed sighting.
24:16
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
24:16
SPEAKER_07: Um so I'm trying to see what it says.
24:19
SPEAKER_07: Uh my brother was driving the vehicle.
24:21
SPEAKER_07: We uh, with me riding in the front passenger seat and my sister being in the rear driver's side seat.
24:27
SPEAKER_07: As we were rounding a slight curve on the exit road, we all spotted a creature walking quickly on the left side of the road, approximately 15 to 20 feet in front of our car.
24:38
SPEAKER_07: Uh and it happened very quickly.
24:41
SPEAKER_07: Disappeared into the lush palmetto and pine forest.
24:44
SPEAKER_07: So it was kind of like a junk.
24:45
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, they describe it as like a jungle.
24:47
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
24:48
SPEAKER_07: Um, and they said that it it just it like walked in front of their car.
24:54
SPEAKER_07: So that's surprising to me too, because I mean you're into like what you kind of report is that it was further.
25:00
SPEAKER_07: How far away would you say from where you guys were standing?
25:04
SPEAKER_05: Uh man.
25:07
SPEAKER_07: Because you're looking, you're viewing it from binoculars.
25:10
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
25:12
SPEAKER_05: I'd say it was at least I'm trying to think in terms of foot a football field.
25:18
SPEAKER_05: So maybe seven 75 yards, because I was looking at it with my binoculars, and that and I saw the dune when I took my binoculars down.
25:27
SPEAKER_05: Sometimes you're shocked at exactly how far you're looking right away.
25:31
SPEAKER_05: And I would say it was at least 75 yards away from me from where I was where I was.
25:38
SPEAKER_05: The funny other funny thing was is it did that when we left the deck.
25:44
SPEAKER_05: So where I was really, yeah, you couldn't have seen, I couldn't have seen it, or I would have been able to see it, and it would have been able to see me.
25:53
SPEAKER_05: But where I was when I saw it, it wouldn't have been able to see me.
25:57
SPEAKER_05: Because I was I was down around the deck, it kind of loops around, and I was at like a there's a little um viewing area when you come down, and I was sitting at that, it's not an area, it's like a it's a just like a wheelchair access path that goes up.
26:13
SPEAKER_05: But the way I was I where I was looking at through my binoculars, if it would have looked back, it probably would have been looking at the deck itself and not down at the path.
26:23
SPEAKER_05: So it wouldn't have even seen it say, Oh, there's nobody up there, and then it walked overcha.
26:30
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, from where it would like the vantage point, like you know, straight on or eye level or whatever, right?
26:36
SPEAKER_07: And not below.
26:37
SPEAKER_07: So you were below, okay.
26:39
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, gotcha, gotcha.
26:41
SPEAKER_07: That is just wild.
26:42
SPEAKER_07: So, how like can you give us like I guess a time frame?
26:45
SPEAKER_07: Like, would you say it was like 30 seconds?
26:47
SPEAKER_05: Like how quickly did it last?
26:50
SPEAKER_05: It was probably about 20 seconds.
26:52
SPEAKER_05: It started walking, and I'm just like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, and then it disappeared.
26:58
SPEAKER_05: Wow, and I was like, okay, the only thing, the only place it could have gone was like back into the like in there's a there is trees and stuff over there by those dunes.
27:08
SPEAKER_05: So I'm like, maybe it made its way over that way, but it it couldn't have crossed the dunes.
27:13
SPEAKER_05: Okay.
27:14
SPEAKER_05: So we sat there and waited, and I was like, it's gotta come back out, but that's crazy.
27:19
SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
27:20
SPEAKER_05: If they're dimensional, maybe I was just gonna say too in the dimension at that time, and then it just disappeared, yeah.
27:31
SPEAKER_05: I mean, yeah, yeah.
27:33
SPEAKER_07: We I mean, nobody you don't know.
27:35
SPEAKER_07: No, did you consider like maybe reporting it or anything like that?
27:39
SPEAKER_05: Because these people reported it to like not just the BFRO, but I think to like the so I think if I would have been closer and and actually been able to see, like I feel like I know what I saw, but I think if my dad would have seen it too, I would have been more comfortable saying, dude, let's tell somebody, you know.
28:00
SPEAKER_05: Right.
28:00
SPEAKER_05: But it's just me looking through my binoculars, like staring at an egret and then not staring at an egret, you know.
28:07
SPEAKER_05: Right.
28:08
SPEAKER_07: That's crazy too.
28:10
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
28:11
SPEAKER_07: Because I mean, birds, I would imagine, I mean, would be, you know, a fin a little bit more like finicky, like it would fly away.
28:18
SPEAKER_07: I would I'm surprised it didn't fly away.
28:20
SPEAKER_05: It was quite a bit behind the egret.
28:22
SPEAKER_05: Okay.
28:23
SPEAKER_05: The egret wasn't moving at all.
28:25
SPEAKER_05: And so uh that's what I that's what caught my eye.
28:28
SPEAKER_05: I was like, well, he's just still, which their behavior does that when they fish anyway.
28:32
SPEAKER_05: So I was like, well, maybe he's just fishing, but he's just like, you know, and then when I looked behind him, I was like, oh my god, like what is that?
28:41
SPEAKER_05: And it's like it literally was like wow, yeah.
28:46
SPEAKER_05: Like I I was like, dad, dad, dad.
28:51
SPEAKER_05: What, what, you know?
28:52
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
28:53
SPEAKER_07: Um, so yeah, was it walking like Patty?
28:58
SPEAKER_05: It was walking like honestly, like that.
29:01
SPEAKER_05: It was swinging, like its arm.
29:03
SPEAKER_05: I saw an arm and a leg, what looked like to me, but it was very hairy.
29:07
SPEAKER_05: So everything almost looked fluid as what it was walking.
29:11
SPEAKER_05: So the fur was kind of like moving with it, you know what I mean?
29:15
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, almost the fur looked very long on it, like just really long and dragging.
29:23
SPEAKER_07: So I don't want to like I don't want to be the one that's like skeptical because I'm usually not.
29:28
SPEAKER_07: But do you like is there what's the chance it could have been somebody in a ghillie suit?
29:32
SPEAKER_07: Because I know that's gonna be like people asking.
29:34
SPEAKER_05: So ghillie suits usually aren't I well, they could be, but people aren't allowed back there.
29:41
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
29:42
SPEAKER_05: So I don't yeah, I mean, you can't walk back there, it's a protected area, and you cannot walk on the sand dunes like at all.
29:49
SPEAKER_05: So not even a park ranger would have been back there, and there's alligators all over the place, so they're dumb.
29:54
SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah, so they're dumb if they would have been walking back there.
29:58
SPEAKER_05: I mean, there's I've seen you know 10 12 foot alligators back there, just in that area.
30:05
SPEAKER_05: They're they're they're big.
30:07
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, they're all tall do you think it was?
30:10
SPEAKER_05: Um, it had to have been at least eight foot tall.
30:13
SPEAKER_05: Wow, yeah, because of how big the sand dune was.
30:16
SPEAKER_05: Right.
30:17
SPEAKER_05: So the to me looking at how far I was away, I was like, there's no way that thing is even the size of a human because of how tall it is compared to the dune.
30:28
SPEAKER_03: So that's and there's no other animal in that area that would be hairy, so you're not like that.
30:35
SPEAKER_03: No.
30:36
SPEAKER_03: Shocked to see something hairy like that.
30:38
SPEAKER_03: Like, what the heck is that?
30:40
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that's why I was like, there's no what is this, you know?
30:43
SPEAKER_07: Well, and even the way you're describing what the hair, I mean, that to me is very interesting, just like long, like shaggy almost.
30:51
SPEAKER_07: It was shaggy, yeah.
30:52
SPEAKER_05: And I felt like I was like, is it but like I said, it kind of matched the topography of the area.
30:58
SPEAKER_05: So I don't know.
31:00
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
31:01
SPEAKER_05: Maybe I've discovered a new like thing.
31:06
SPEAKER_05: Species of Bigfoot.
31:07
SPEAKER_05: Species of Bigfoot, it's like the the beach Bigfoot.
31:11
SPEAKER_04: Oh, we're gonna turn Bigfoot at the beach.
31:17
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
31:18
SPEAKER_04: I love it.
31:20
SPEAKER_07: Oh man.
31:21
SPEAKER_07: So do you think if you so now I like your dad's idea of going back and we did, we actually went back.
31:28
SPEAKER_07: Did you see anything weird?
31:29
SPEAKER_05: No, no, we stood up there for an hour, and I even told him, I was like, Well, go, let's go down because where the last time he wouldn't have been able to see us because we were standing up there, remember?
31:41
SPEAKER_05: So we went down and we stood and we waited for like another 20 minutes, but nothing happened.
31:48
SPEAKER_05: So yeah, I was like, man, I wish it was kind of like a bird, you know, sometimes it comes back to the same area, which sometimes they do, but yeah, you never know.
31:59
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, how far away is so where you had your encounter, and then this other encounter.
32:05
SPEAKER_07: It's it's it says Beaufort County, is that it's Beauford.
32:09
SPEAKER_07: Buford, I don't know.
32:10
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, so Buford is closer to um Charleston.
32:17
SPEAKER_05: Okay, so um let's see.
32:22
SPEAKER_07: Well, what county were you in?
32:23
SPEAKER_07: What county was that that you were in?
32:25
SPEAKER_05: I was in Myrtle Beach, actually.
32:29
SPEAKER_05: So I would have been in Orie County.
32:32
SPEAKER_05: Oh, okay.
32:37
SPEAKER_03: You know what I'm thinking about?
32:39
SPEAKER_03: Um, my husband and I took a trip through South Carolina to go to Charleston, and we drove through this area that was all protected, like wildlife area south of Charleston.
32:51
SPEAKER_05: And um it was that was probably uh Francis Marion Forest.
32:55
SPEAKER_05: Is that I think that's exactly what it was.
32:57
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it was a huge amount of land that we drove.
33:00
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it is giant, yeah.
33:02
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
33:05
SPEAKER_07: I'm just trying to see.
33:06
SPEAKER_07: No, they they don't mention anything, so nothing's been reported in that area on the I'm just looking at the BFRO website.
33:14
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, um I think you should report it to them.
33:20
SPEAKER_07: To uh the the state park?
33:22
SPEAKER_07: No, to the BFRO.
33:24
SPEAKER_07: Oh, I could, yeah.
33:25
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
33:27
SPEAKER_05: Um I was surprised because I looked up um Huntington Beach State Park and I was like, literally, someone else has had to have seen something out here, but I couldn't I couldn't find anything.
33:40
SPEAKER_05: I mean, the state park itself is really, really popular, and it gets so freaking crowded they have to close it sometimes.
33:47
SPEAKER_05: So I was really shocked that I even saw what I saw because you wouldn't think you would, um, with how crowded it gets.
33:57
SPEAKER_07: How crowded it is, yeah.
33:58
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, these are I just shared my screen.
34:00

34:05
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
34:06
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, and yeah, so this is like what they have, and I can click on any if it looks like it might be close to where that is.
34:11
SPEAKER_07: I don't I don't know anything about geography or states or South Carolina.
34:19

SPEAKER_07: So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try my best to find um well not find, but I wanna um I want to try to AI generate something.
37:51
SPEAKER_05: Oh, that would be cool.
37:52
SPEAKER_07: Just to see.
37:53
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
37:53
SPEAKER_07: It's it's challenge.
37:55
SPEAKER_07: It's it's a challenge because you have to like really get your keywording correctly, or otherwise you're there for like hours.
38:00
SPEAKER_05: Oh, I know.
38:01
SPEAKER_05: I've tried, I tried to do it with some like birds ideas I had.
38:05
SPEAKER_05: Oh, cool.
38:06
SPEAKER_05: And it just comes out like you know.
38:09
SPEAKER_07: Well, I try it's funny because I tried, I tried to like come up.
38:13
SPEAKER_07: I was like sitting like by the beach and I was like trying to like buy what you had sent me in the DM.
38:19
SPEAKER_07: I was like, oh, maybe I can come up with something for the for the thumbnail.
38:22
SPEAKER_07: I had a sketch artist.
38:24
SPEAKER_07: I know, right?
38:25
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, but when I put in I put in like um girl with blonde hair looking through binoculars, and like AI doesn't understand things because it's a robot.
38:37
SPEAKER_07: So like some of it, it was like the binoculars that it pictured were like looking like this, and I was like, No, she's not an idiot, she's not looking like this, or like it literally puts a girl through the binoculars, yeah.
38:51
SPEAKER_05: Correct, yeah, and it's like oh robot, just know what I'm saying.
38:58
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, I know.
39:00
SPEAKER_05: I tried to make like an AI story uh line with this idea that I had about a summer tanager and his girlfriend stolen by like a shorebird and this stuff.
39:12
SPEAKER_05: I need to I need to post one of the pictures because it was the way that.
39:15
SPEAKER_05: Oh, you should because I tried so hard and I was like, it's just not happening, like and then I didn't understand how to recreate the first character.
39:26
SPEAKER_05: So my summer tanager kept getting just weird, and I'm like, no, he was cute in the beginning, and then he got his girlfriend stolen, and then you can change the style.
39:36
SPEAKER_07: I know it's like a whole it's like a whole nerd nerd nerd thing.
39:40
SPEAKER_07: Um, so you should do a side by side of like what an actual like summer tanager looks like, and then you're like AI creating one.
39:47
SPEAKER_05: My new my little cute one.
39:49
SPEAKER_07: You're like tomorrow.
39:52
SPEAKER_07: That'll be funny.
39:52
SPEAKER_05: Like, I'll be like, Christina, this idea.
39:55
SPEAKER_05: This is what I created with AI.
39:58
SPEAKER_07: This is my AI bird.
40:00
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
40:00
SPEAKER_07: Um oh my gosh, this is I know we could go down the rabbit trail of BFRO forever.
40:05
SPEAKER_07: Like they it it's really a cool site.
40:08
SPEAKER_05: Like, um can you just get a hold of them and like report it?
40:12
SPEAKER_07: You can report an incident.
40:14
SPEAKER_07: So if you go, I think if you go to reports, yep, yeah.
40:18
SPEAKER_07: So that's what I'm saying.
40:19
SPEAKER_07: Like, I think you definitely should report it just there.
40:21
SPEAKER_07: So then you get it on the record.
40:22
SPEAKER_07: I mean, you're getting it on the record with us, but I have pictures of where I found where I saw it too, because I took them.
40:29
SPEAKER_07: Oh, well, that's cool.
40:30
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, and then you can put it up.
40:35
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
40:35
SPEAKER_07: Some people I was listening to um I can't remember what it was.
40:40
SPEAKER_07: Oh, it was Sasquatch Chronicles.
40:42
SPEAKER_07: Um, and like Wes Skirmer was talking about like the BFRO, and um, in I think in his opinion, and I agree, like it would be great if we had a website database that like had not just Bigfoot like sightings, but then like alien reports, like everything kind of pulled together.
41:01
SPEAKER_07: Um, because then that way you can kind of get like, I guess, more of a bigger picture of like what's really going on instead of going on like like Crystal and I always go through like national archives, stuff like that, but it takes time, yeah.
41:13
SPEAKER_07: And it's kind of easier for people to just like be like, oh man, I saw this crazy thing.
41:18
SPEAKER_07: Let me put it in this database, and then it just stays there.
41:21
SPEAKER_07: But I like the idea of keeping things on the record.
41:24
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that's not that's actually not the first crazy thing that's happened to me.
41:30
SPEAKER_07: Hey everyone, it's Christina, and I am briefly interrupting the story to let you know that we want to hear from you and connect with you.

43:29
SPEAKER_07: Thank you for your service.
43:30
SPEAKER_05: Thanks.
43:31
SPEAKER_05: And um, when you first walked into the house, there was this huge rock garden.
43:38
SPEAKER_05: And to the left, there was two tea rooms that had the traditional like tea room doors.
43:44
SPEAKER_05: I don't know if you know what I'm talking about, but they have like their light doors and they have the paper coverings.
43:49
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
43:50
SPEAKER_05: And then if the the living room was to the right, so you could walk around all that, and then there were steps um that you could see through going up.
44:00
SPEAKER_05: The second level and the second level had uh three bedrooms, and then you the master you could actually walk around the house outside and walk all the way around it.
44:10
SPEAKER_05: It was a gorgeous house.
44:12
SPEAKER_05: And um, when you walked into the kitchen from the living room, the there was a hallway that went all the way down um into this weird bathroom.
44:23
SPEAKER_05: The bathroom was floor to ceiling covered in tile, and the tub was just sitting out there with the toilet, so it was like a tub, a shower, and a toilet, but it was all one open room.
44:36
SPEAKER_07: Like open, yeah.
44:37
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it was really weird.
44:38
SPEAKER_05: Like it was easy to clean because you could just down the drink in the shower and just like everything.
44:48
SPEAKER_05: But from from the kitchen, I I could look down that hallway, and there was always somebody looking at me from the bathroom because there was like this little window.
44:58
SPEAKER_05: So I kept thinking, I was like, okay, maybe I'm just seeing stuff, you know.
45:04
SPEAKER_05: And um, while my husband was still at the time was still there, the master bedroom.
45:11
SPEAKER_05: Um, they all had there was all the the um mini split air conditioners, like you had the each room had its own like built-in air conditioner.
45:22
SPEAKER_07: Oh, okay.
45:23
SPEAKER_05: And so you had a remote to control it or whatever, and it would freeze over at night, it would get so cold in there.
45:31
SPEAKER_05: Oh, and with my daughter, yeah, the air conditioner, the air conditioner inside would freeze over.
45:39
SPEAKER_05: That's crazy.
45:40
SPEAKER_05: And so I my daughter was sleeping in a bassinet right next to me, and the bed like started to shake and rise up.
45:48
SPEAKER_05: Now I have just had her, so I'm like, maybe this is like, and this is my first child, so it's like maybe this is some kind of like pregnancy, like after pregnancy thing.
45:58
SPEAKER_05: And I'm like, I'm like hallucinating, you know.
46:01
SPEAKER_07: Oh, right, yeah, yeah.
46:02
SPEAKER_05: My husband was like, he would he would sleep like you couldn't wake him up, alarms wouldn't wake him up, nothing.
46:09
SPEAKER_05: So I'm like shaking him because the bed's shaking and he's not waking up, and I am freaking out.
46:15
SPEAKER_05: And so I was like, Oh my gosh, dude.
46:17
SPEAKER_05: And then it would just stop, you know, and I'm like, okay, maybe like you go through that and you start to talk yourself out of it.
46:25
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you know, you're like, okay, I didn't see that, I didn't hear that, you know.
46:29
SPEAKER_05: So he leaves, and I end up not being able to sleep at night, and especially with a newborn by myself, I was still off work at this time.
46:41
SPEAKER_05: So I would be staying up all night and trying to sleep when she slept during the day.
46:46
SPEAKER_05: And the lot like one of the last nights I was there, um, I heard some noise like downstairs, and then somebody ran up my stairs because I was in the bedroom and I was like, hello, and they took what sounded like a rubber mallet and just started beating on the stairs constantly over and over, and I'm like freaking out, you know.
47:13
SPEAKER_05: And I was I like I was like, that's it, like I can't even stay here anymore.
47:18
SPEAKER_05: Did it affect your daughter at all?
47:21
SPEAKER_05: Huh?
47:22
SPEAKER_05: It didn't seem to, yeah, you know, and so I I took her and I think I stayed at a friend's house like one night just so I could sleep, but um, I don't wasn't really sleeping anyway because of her anyway.
47:36
SPEAKER_05: But yeah, the next day I like went to the base housing and I was like, Yeah, I need to move out of this place, I can't stay there.
47:44
SPEAKER_05: And I think I even told them, like, I'm like, it's haunted, dude.
47:47
SPEAKER_05: I'm I'm serious, and they acted like they weren't surprised.
47:50
SPEAKER_04: Really?
47:51
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, they got like the movers there like the next day to get all my stuff out, and I moved they moved me on base, and they didn't act like the the person that was renting us the house didn't act like they were shocked at all.
48:04
SPEAKER_05: So I was like, This has gotta be a thing.
48:06
SPEAKER_07: They weren't like you're crazy, lady.
48:08
SPEAKER_05: No, no, I was like, Maybe this is a thing.
48:11
SPEAKER_05: I maybe that's why this house was open.
48:14
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, they definitely knew we couldn't believe we got it because it was just so gorgeous, you know.
48:19
SPEAKER_05: But yeah, man, it was that was like one of the scariest experiences I've ever had.
48:25
SPEAKER_05: Like, you know, I look back on it now.
48:28
SPEAKER_05: It was actually on um, you know, Jim Harold's podcast.
48:30
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
48:32
SPEAKER_05: I I was on his campfire stories and told that.
48:34
SPEAKER_03: Oh I love Jim Harold.
48:36
SPEAKER_03: I watched all of it.
48:39
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I probably have heard that story.
48:42
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, I was on there telling it, so I thought it was crazy.
48:48
SPEAKER_05: It was weird, and it was it made it more weird that it was in Japan, so yeah, right, you know, yeah, but wild and now you're seeing Bigfoot, and then I saw the Bigfoot, but my dad's seen paranormal stuff too, so it was funny because we were both just like, oh yeah, we just saw Bigfoot.
49:08
SPEAKER_05: Well, my dad's like, Well, we need to come back here tomorrow, you know?
49:12
SPEAKER_05: Not not you didn't see that.
49:15

49:51
SPEAKER_05: So I'm on Instagram at the underscore B E R D underscore N-I-R-D.
50:01
SPEAKER_05: Because I thought I was being clever and flipped the it's very clever, yeah.
50:06
SPEAKER_05: Flip the E and the I.
50:07
SPEAKER_05: So because everybody has like a traditional on the burner traditional spelling, so I flipped it, but then I found out a lot of people did the same thing, and I was like, oh so I just I had to put the underscores in, and then I didn't expect it to do what it did, which was blow up.
50:28
SPEAKER_05: That's awesome.
50:29
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, how long have you had the channel?
50:30

SPEAKER_05: Wow, yeah, and I had like I have like nine videos now that are over like millions of views.
50:42
SPEAKER_07: I know it's crazy.
50:44
SPEAKER_07: Are you so it's but it's just your content, yeah?
50:47
SPEAKER_07: Good job.
50:48
SPEAKER_07: Like you're not it's not like you're doing hashtags and all the stuff and like do all that, it's just your content, right?
50:54
SPEAKER_05: Um, well, it's a mix of you got to do both, yeah.
50:57
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, and actually, um, it was funny because um Instagram actually scheduled a meeting with me to discuss like strategies and stuff like that because I reach out to creators, yeah.
51:09
SPEAKER_05: And I was just like, oh damn, I'm I'm big time.
51:13
SPEAKER_05: Like Meta just scheduled a meeting with me, you know.
51:16
SPEAKER_05: Did you have it already?
51:18
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
51:19
SPEAKER_05: It was fun, it was just like a little, you know, they have their little people call you and say, Hey, I've reviewed your stuff, this is what you should be doing, best practices, stuff like that.
51:29
SPEAKER_05: I'm like, Oh, okay.
51:30
SPEAKER_05: But yeah, it's a mix of used content um or good content, definitely.
51:36
SPEAKER_05: And they kind of give you their speech about how what they want you to do and how to grow your channel and stuff like that.
51:43
SPEAKER_05: But they they say use hashtags that are relevant to your topics, yeah, right.
51:50
SPEAKER_07: Do use hashtag, don't just like eat like hashtag Elon Musk.
51:54
SPEAKER_07: Right, yeah, yeah.
51:55
SPEAKER_07: That's what they said is dumb.
51:56
SPEAKER_05: Like they're like, Don't do that, you know, because then you're they're like your audience isn't there, it is what's their your your niche.
52:04
SPEAKER_05: So yeah, yeah.
52:06
SPEAKER_05: But it's funny because like in a year, I told my little punk seven almost 17-year-old son, I was like, Yeah, what do you think now?
52:14
SPEAKER_05: And he was like, It's so cringe, you know.
52:18
SPEAKER_04: Oh my gosh.

52:58
SPEAKER_07: I was like, we did we did one before like vacation and school.
53:02
SPEAKER_07: We started a podcast like right before summer when kids get out of school, which is not the smartest.
53:07
SPEAKER_07: I didn't plan that out perfectly, yeah.
53:09
SPEAKER_07: Like, because then it's just like I was like, I I don't have any energy, like we're so busy.
53:14
SPEAKER_07: Um, but it's surprising just like you know, posting here and there, how much we've grown, just you know it's just really and I've done social media like for like my church and stuff like that.
53:26
SPEAKER_07: So like I kind of like know what to do, but it's still awesome to see like the reach.

54:05
SPEAKER_05: So if I see something again, you'll be the first person I call.

SPEAKER_05: I'm gonna find it.
54:20
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, we gotta find Bigfoot.
54:23
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, he loves Bigfoot, so that's the thing.
54:26
SPEAKER_07: Like, you can't though, like, you're not you wouldn't be able to even find anything because you were saying, like, you can't get on the other side of the property.
54:32
SPEAKER_05: No, you can't, so like you can't get there's no way you could pay me to even walk across that way because of the alligators I've seen out there.
54:41
SPEAKER_05: So that's why I was like, it couldn't have been a person.
54:45
SPEAKER_07: There's no way, like, and how do the alligators not mess with it?
54:48
SPEAKER_07: I don't know.
54:49
SPEAKER_07: I have a whole bunch of theories now because that, like, yeah, it's gotta be interesting.
54:55
SPEAKER_07: Alligators don't know, like, not to eat a bigfoot.
54:58
SPEAKER_07: Well, he's he's uh how are they gonna eat him?
55:01
SPEAKER_07: I don't know, they eat people, don't they?
55:03
SPEAKER_07: Alligators are mean, yeah, right?
55:08
SPEAKER_07: They're like sharks.
55:10
SPEAKER_05: Oh, okay, all right.
55:11
SPEAKER_05: They are because they see them everywhere all the time, and sometimes they'll come up onto the walkways, and you gotta go the other way.
55:18
SPEAKER_05: I mean, you can't yeah, so I mean there's signs all over that like please don't feed the alligators because you know how people are, but right, yeah.

SPEAKER_07: If it's even still, I mean it's gotta be operational, it's still up.
