Transcript
- 0:11Speaker 1: Welcome back to the IA Jupiter Podcast. This is episode
- 0:13Speaker 1: one and seventeen with mister Carl Suck. Carl had an
- 0:20Speaker 1: incident back in nineteen eighty two. He was camping with
- 0:23Speaker 1: some friends. They went across the lake and he received
- 0:26Speaker 1: this incredible scream that shook him and his friends. With
- 0:29Speaker 1: the corps, they were able to kind of stave off
- 0:33Speaker 1: the night and then wake up in the morning and
- 0:34Speaker 1: go home. And then years later he ran across this
- 0:38Speaker 1: sound again called the Ohio Sound with his son, went
- 0:41Speaker 1: out with the BFRO on some trip in Arizona up
- 0:46Speaker 1: in Themogian Rim or something like that, and they got
- 0:49Speaker 1: the sound again. And ever since then Carl has been
- 0:52Speaker 1: completely and utterly fascinated Whip the Forest people and he
- 0:55Speaker 1: came on to talk to me about it. A fantastic episode,
- 0:58Speaker 1: a lot of really cool and it's a lot of

- 1:40Speaker 1: with mister Carl Sup. Hello. Sorry, Hi, Hi. I'm glad
- 1:47Speaker 1: that you came here. It's very interesting as we were
- 1:49Speaker 1: in the green room beforehand, so talking, you know, trying
- 1:52Speaker 1: to get to know each other. It's really funny because
- 1:55Speaker 1: your last name is Sup. My friend started a stand
- 2:00Speaker 1: up comedian comedy in Frankfurt, Germany, and the name of
- 2:04Speaker 1: the company he started was called Sup. So it's stand up, yes,
- 2:11Speaker 1: And I was just just well recognized it again that
- 2:14Speaker 1: that was the thing.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, Well, it's really funny the last name Sup
- 2:18Speaker 2: actually has. It wasn't shortened out. It wasn't you know.
- 2:22Speaker 2: When I was growing up, everybody told me it was
- 2:24Speaker 2: it's Ky or you know, super Zinski or something, and
- 2:27Speaker 2: it had been shortened up. And and but I've done
- 2:32Speaker 2: research and I actually got the name game all the
- 2:35Speaker 2: way back to fourteen fifty in Bohemia and in Old
- 2:40Speaker 2: Czech it actually means bird of prey and based on
- 2:45Speaker 2: the history of the name, it actually said that it
- 2:48Speaker 2: was the first SUPs were Falconer's for royalty.
- 2:54Speaker 1: No shit, that's interesting. So my last name is English
- 2:58Speaker 1: English frank was very calm, which means it's basically the
- 3:01Speaker 1: landowner or like a tax collector for uh, for royalty
- 3:06Speaker 1: or the people of the of England. So people. So
- 3:10Speaker 1: it's basically a name that's a title of people that
- 3:14Speaker 1: were hated by the peasant class, and a Franklin was
- 3:20Speaker 1: not necessarily So Carl do dous a favorite. Tell us
- 3:25Speaker 1: a little bit about yourself, you know, if you're promoting anything,
- 3:28Speaker 1: go ahead and do that, and uh, go ahead and
- 3:31Speaker 1: tell me how this all began for you.
- 3:34Speaker 2: So so yeah, so it I'm a my profession, I'm
- 3:40Speaker 2: a I'm a software consultant. I'm a data analyst. I'm
- 3:45Speaker 2: you know, a software analyst. I've run major development teams
- 3:49Speaker 2: globally and uh I travel a lot and uh yeah,
- 3:54Speaker 2: going way back into in the late sixties, I remember
- 3:59Speaker 2: my dad had ascription to Argacy magazine and in February
- 4:03Speaker 2: sixty eight issue that came out. There was the front cover.
- 4:09Speaker 2: The title said California is abominable Snowman. And I remember
- 4:15Speaker 2: I read that cover to cover, you know, and and
- 4:17Speaker 2: of course at that time, I was thinking to myself,
- 4:19Speaker 2: you know, it could be real. You know, it's possible.
- 4:21Speaker 2: There's a lot of strange stuff in this world. Even
- 4:25Speaker 2: back in the in the late sixties, you know, going
- 4:27Speaker 2: to school, I was, you know, I had questioned, especially
- 4:31Speaker 2: when we were learning biology and everything. And I and
- 4:35Speaker 2: they and you know, they said, oh, dinosaurs were they
- 4:39Speaker 2: were reptiles and they were cold blooded, right, And then
- 4:43Speaker 2: finally I raised my hand and I said, well, then
- 4:45Speaker 2: what are birds? You know, right, you know, And I said,
- 4:49Speaker 2: because they kind of walked like you know what I
- 4:51Speaker 2: think a dinosaur might walk like.
- 4:53Speaker 1: You know.
- 4:53Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, you know, birds are warm blooded.
- 4:55Speaker 2: They're but they're not mammals. They're they have feathers. I
- 4:58Speaker 2: don't understand, you know. So I was always inquisitive and
- 5:02Speaker 2: always uh you know, kept that in the foreground. So
- 5:05Speaker 2: fast forward to the mid seventies. I'm I'm you know,
- 5:09Speaker 2: I went to the theater. I watched uh Star War,
- 5:12Speaker 2: I was you know, Star Wars, but they actually had
- 5:14Speaker 2: like so yeah, and they had UH and they actually
- 5:19Speaker 2: had as part of the double feature, they had UH
- 5:23Speaker 2: in search of episodes. So I in the the this
- 5:27Speaker 2: is when you didn't really get kicked out of a theater,
- 5:29Speaker 2: you know. So I actually watched Star Wars like five
- 5:32Speaker 2: times and there was multiple in search of So I
- 5:35Speaker 2: actually got to see In Search of Bigfoot, you know,
- 5:38Speaker 2: on the big screen with Leonard Nimoyay. Most people would
- 5:43Speaker 2: be like what it was on the screen, you know
- 5:45Speaker 2: in the movie theaters, you know, but it was and
- 5:49Speaker 2: so uh you know, And of course at that time,
- 5:52Speaker 2: I'm thinking to myself, you know, it's if if they're
- 5:55Speaker 2: anywhere there in the Pacific northwest northern or in Washington
- 6:00Speaker 2: and so forth. So nineteen eighty two, I'm camping with
- 6:06Speaker 2: three buddies of mine. We had one of them had
- 6:08Speaker 2: an inflatable zodiac and we actually paddled across this lake.
- 6:13Speaker 2: You know, it's a little inflatable boat. Okay, Yeah, we
- 6:17Speaker 2: went across the isn't it cooler? Yeah? So yeah, so
- 6:23Speaker 2: we get across, you know, we paddled across the lake
- 6:26Speaker 2: and we set up camp and you know, and you know,
- 6:29Speaker 2: cook some dinner and you know, hot dogs or whatever,
- 6:32Speaker 2: and you know, ended up going to bed right because
- 6:34Speaker 2: then it was pitch black dark on the other side
- 6:36Speaker 2: of the lake, and the three am in the morning
- 6:41Speaker 2: something howls unbelievably loud, long, and just the vibration in
- 6:48Speaker 2: your chest was just unbelievable. It was very close to
- 6:52Speaker 2: the tent whatever it was, right and scared us. Three
- 6:58Speaker 2: guys come pouring out of the tent, right, and we're
- 7:01Speaker 2: trying to decide what to do at three in the
- 7:03Speaker 2: morning with no you know, all we had was the
- 7:06Speaker 2: the old Coleman light with the uh stuff and ye
- 7:11Speaker 2: and that and uh, you know and uh and we
- 7:14Speaker 2: couldn't figure out how to turn that on in in
- 7:16Speaker 2: a panic, right, so we it was dark and we
- 7:21Speaker 2: and there was just enough starlight we could see the boat.
- 7:23Speaker 2: So we were trying to decide do we just pile
- 7:26Speaker 2: into the boat and start rowing across the lake and
- 7:28Speaker 2: it's like, you know and uh And finally we convinced
- 7:33Speaker 2: ourselves that it must have been just like a really
- 7:35Speaker 2: large coyote or or maybe it was a wolf, you know,
- 7:39Speaker 2: but you know, you know, it was nothing like we
- 7:42Speaker 2: had ever heard because I had done so much hiking
- 7:45Speaker 2: and camping all over Arizona at that time, so ended
- 7:50Speaker 2: up going back to bed, and then of course I
- 7:52Speaker 2: kind of kept an eye open, you know, uh for
- 7:56Speaker 2: a little while, and ended up going back to sleep.
- 7:58Speaker 2: But the uh, you know, the next morning, we had
- 8:01Speaker 2: convinced ourselves completely that it you know, oh, there's no way.
- 8:05Speaker 2: But you know, but over the years of all the
- 8:09Speaker 2: hiking and camping and and things I had, you know,
- 8:11Speaker 2: I had strange things happen overnight at a lot of
- 8:15Speaker 2: campsites and stuff, but I always just wrote them off, like, well,
- 8:17Speaker 2: that's weird, or maybe that was a squirrel or you know,
- 8:22Speaker 2: somebody messing with it or something.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Very industrious squirrel.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, yeah, you know, Like I mean the one
- 8:28Speaker 2: time I remember, I remember waking up and because I
- 8:30Speaker 2: kept hearing what sounded like maybe pine cones or acorns
- 8:35Speaker 2: hitting the tent right and I wake up in the
- 8:38Speaker 2: morning and the tent has just probably fifty rocks, little
- 8:43Speaker 2: small rocks that had hit the tent and slid down,
- 8:46Speaker 2: hit the tent slid down, so there was a pile
- 8:48Speaker 2: of rocks on right now on the side of the tent.
- 8:51Speaker 2: You know, and I'm like, I'm like Rocks, I'm like,
- 8:54Speaker 2: what you know, somebody was messing with me, you know,
- 8:56Speaker 2: or what you know? But you know, now I'm a
- 9:01Speaker 2: little more educated on that because fast forward to two
- 9:05Speaker 2: thousand and eight. You know, I'm married, I've got you know,
- 9:09Speaker 2: two kids, and I'm sitting on the sofa with my
- 9:11Speaker 2: sixteen year old son and I'm messing with sasquatch. Commercial
- 9:15Speaker 2: comes on TV and it's the one where the Sasquatch
- 9:18Speaker 2: is walking along the road and the guys try to
- 9:20Speaker 2: give him a ride in the car and he says,
- 9:23Speaker 2: you know, hey, buddy, you want to ride, and and
- 9:27Speaker 2: the and and just yeah, all the commercials oh, well, anyway,
- 9:34Speaker 2: he goes to, you know, just as the Sasquatch is
- 9:36Speaker 2: about to get in the car, they pull forward and
- 9:39Speaker 2: then they laugh, you know, and then they're like, no,
- 9:41Speaker 2: I'm sorry, buddy, come on. And then he tries to
- 9:44Speaker 2: do it again and they pull forward again, and then
- 9:46Speaker 2: the very next scene they Sasquatch grabs him and yanks
- 9:50Speaker 2: the guy out of the car and tosses him down
- 9:51Speaker 2: the hill. And I laughed and I laughed so hard,
- 9:54Speaker 2: and my son I looked over at him, and he
- 9:56Speaker 2: wasn't laughing at all, And I said, why aren't you laughing?
- 9:59Speaker 2: That was hilarious. And he says, well, it's not founded
- 10:01Speaker 2: in reality, because you know, you know that that kind
- 10:05Speaker 2: of animal, you know that, you know, bigfoot's not real.
- 10:08Speaker 2: And I said, I said, well, how do you know?
- 10:11Speaker 1: You know?
- 10:11Speaker 2: You're sixteen. Are you telling me that you're that you know?
- 10:16Speaker 2: I said, so? So I tell them the story about
- 10:19Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty two. I was like, there's a lot
- 10:22Speaker 2: of things we don't know when I was like, for instance,
- 10:25Speaker 2: and I relay the story of the long and Loud howled, right,
- 10:30Speaker 2: and and he says, oh, come on, dad, an Arizona
- 10:34Speaker 2: And I said, I don't know, you know, I said,
- 10:36Speaker 2: I said, by this time, right, it's two thousand and eight, right.
- 10:39Speaker 2: I'm like, well, let's google it, right, So I I
- 10:44Speaker 2: type in Bigfoot Arizona, right, and the first link that
- 10:48Speaker 2: comes up is the BFO, the Bigfoot Field Research Organization, right.
- 10:52Speaker 2: So I So we start looking through the website and
- 10:55Speaker 2: it's like, oh, look, they've got some reports from Arizona.
- 10:58Speaker 2: So the two of us sat there reading these Arizona
- 11:00Speaker 2: reports from other witnesses and we get and down at
- 11:06Speaker 2: the bottom there was a link to what they call
- 11:09Speaker 2: the Ohio howl. So it and I hadn't hadn't heard
- 11:14Speaker 2: the Ohio howl before, right, But when I played it,
- 11:18Speaker 2: all the hair stood up on my arm. Because I'm
- 11:20Speaker 2: telling you, auditory memory is so powerful.
- 11:24Speaker 1: It's that in and in Uh what what would you
- 11:29Speaker 1: so if it's auditory, what would be smelly? The smellatory?
- 11:32Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the you're the old factory old factory memory. Yeah, yeaheah.
- 11:36Speaker 1: It's incredible. I can imagine the visual response of like
- 11:41Speaker 1: rediscovering that again. That's incredible.
- 11:44Speaker 2: It it it just and my son sees all the
- 11:47Speaker 2: hair stand up on my arm, right and and and
- 11:50Speaker 2: I just looked at him and I said, that's the
- 11:52Speaker 2: second time I've heard that howl, and uh and and
- 11:58Speaker 2: and so so I looked on the website and I see, oh,
- 12:01Speaker 2: they've got an expedition in Arizona coming up, and it's
- 12:04Speaker 2: in three weeks. I was like, I'll tell you what,
- 12:07Speaker 2: you know, it's four days, three nights. Worst case scenario,
- 12:12Speaker 2: you and I get to get out in the woods.
- 12:14Speaker 2: We'll go camping, you know, maybe hang out with some
- 12:17Speaker 2: crazy people, you know, just you and I right, I said,
- 12:22Speaker 2: otherwise maybe we'll learn something. Right, So he's like, he's like, okay,
- 12:28Speaker 2: So so I booked us to go on this expedition, right,
- 12:31Speaker 2: And it turns out that Moneymaker was actually running that
- 12:35Speaker 2: expedition that year and there had been a an encounter
- 12:40Speaker 2: by a couple that had a blog or a large
- 12:46Speaker 2: branch thrown at their van that broke their side mirror.
- 12:50Speaker 2: And we went to that location where that had happened.
- 12:55Speaker 2: And it's on a ridgeline with two canyon complexes on
- 12:58Speaker 2: either side, you know, going down the thing. But there's
- 13:01Speaker 2: a lot of old logging roads in Arizona and stuff.
- 13:04Speaker 2: And for people that don't understand, Arizona is really half forested.
- 13:08Speaker 2: I mean there's there's Ponderosa pines. It's the largest sand
- 13:12Speaker 2: in the world actually, like the the mogion Rim Rim
- 13:17Speaker 2: up on top of the Moggian Rim yep, and so, uh,
- 13:21Speaker 2: you know, and of course people I know, you know,
- 13:23Speaker 2: even going all the way down into Mexico Central Mexico
- 13:26Speaker 2: Copper Canyon and there's pines and it's yeah, it's not
- 13:31Speaker 2: what you think, right, You always have to expand your mind.
- 13:34Speaker 2: But the uh, you know, so Uh. That that that
- 13:39Speaker 2: evening we went to uh. One group that of the
- 13:44Speaker 2: participants went to the west. One group went to the east,
- 13:48Speaker 2: so that down into those uh you know, kind of
- 13:50Speaker 2: halfway down into those side canyons and uh. And then
- 13:54Speaker 2: Matt Moneymaker stayed up at the at the top of
- 13:56Speaker 2: the bridge and he did a call from up there,
- 14:00Speaker 2: you know. And I've got a recording of it where
- 14:02Speaker 2: he does the call and you can hear him. You
- 14:05Speaker 2: can hear him in the distance. Plus, you know, right
- 14:08Speaker 2: before he calls, he gets over the radio and he says,
- 14:10Speaker 2: I'm going to do a call in ten seconds, you know,
- 14:14Speaker 2: or a howl in ten seconds. He does the howl
- 14:18Speaker 2: from our location on the west side. Now, everybody that
- 14:21Speaker 2: was on the east side, they only could hear Matt howling,
- 14:23Speaker 2: and nothing happened. On the west side where I was
- 14:27Speaker 2: with my son and the other group, Matt howls and
- 14:34Speaker 2: from the north almost due north, probably three seconds after
- 14:39Speaker 2: he howled. There was a reply howl that came back
- 14:43Speaker 2: about another two three seconds after that from the northwest,
- 14:47Speaker 2: and you could tell it was a further distance. Another
- 14:49Speaker 2: howl and about and about another four seconds after that
- 14:52Speaker 2: from the southwest. At a much farther distance. It was
- 14:56Speaker 2: much fainter, but you could hear this third howl reply
- 15:00Speaker 2: back to him. And it was at that moment I said,
- 15:04Speaker 2: I need to figure out exactly what's going on there,
- 15:06Speaker 2: and and that really sparked my interest in He was
- 15:12Speaker 2: holding out of my shoulder because we we were we
- 15:14Speaker 2: had to hike out into that down that thing in
- 15:17Speaker 2: a in a you know, in the dark, without flashlights,
- 15:21Speaker 2: and he was holding out of my shoulder when and
- 15:24Speaker 2: when they he heard the howls come back, I thought
- 15:27Speaker 2: he was gonna pop my shoulder out of its socket.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Damn. Yeah man, yeah, yeah. So so ever since then,
- 15:33Speaker 1: you we was like you just I got to know
- 15:35Speaker 1: what this is. Yep. Okay, So I started that's the
- 15:39Speaker 1: so that's the genesis of what you started to do.
- 15:42Speaker 2: Okay, correct, okay correct. So so I started coming up with,
- 15:47Speaker 2: you know, different techniques, kind of using a lot of
- 15:49Speaker 2: the things that I learned on that bf O expedition.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Over time, now i've you know, and especially when I
- 15:57Speaker 2: go up to the research area that I go to
- 15:59Speaker 2: all the time up on the Mogan Rim, you know,
- 16:03Speaker 2: I I you know, I I don't try to trick
- 16:06Speaker 2: them at all. They if I get if I'll start
- 16:10Speaker 2: unloading the car, I get maybe a lawn chair out,
- 16:13Speaker 2: a couple of lawn chairs, and all of a sudden,
- 16:16Speaker 2: I'll hear a rock clack, probably within one hundred feet
- 16:21Speaker 2: of where I am, you know, and I'll just go, hey,
- 16:23Speaker 2: I'm here, you know, and uh, and they'll interact with myself,
- 16:29Speaker 2: and even if I bring someone else up that they'll
- 16:32Speaker 2: interact with them as well, either through whistles or tongue
- 16:36Speaker 2: clacks or probably like yeah, like just and you know,
- 16:43Speaker 2: rather and you can tell that that they're doing that
- 16:46Speaker 2: versus rock clacks, because I mean a lot. Sometimes they'll
- 16:50Speaker 2: do rocks. Sometimes they'll hit sticks together, okay, but but
- 16:55Speaker 2: if they don't have rocks handy, they'll just tongue clack
- 16:58Speaker 2: like that.
- 16:59Speaker 1: So that I didn't know. That's a new one. That's
- 17:02Speaker 1: a new one on me. Man, that's a new one
- 17:04Speaker 1: on me. I've heard, you know, portals and orbs, and
- 17:09Speaker 1: I even speak to people who are part of the
- 17:11Speaker 1: Arizona Four who actually also go to the Mogan Rim,
- 17:14Speaker 1: and they're telling me, like, you know, mine speak, but
- 17:16Speaker 1: I haven't heard the tongue clacking. That's a new one.
- 17:19Speaker 1: That's why I enjoyed this so much, because I'm trying
- 17:23Speaker 1: to I'm just being like a medium for people to
- 17:26Speaker 1: find that which they don't know about. And then I
- 17:30Speaker 1: talked to somebody about you, you know, someone who has
- 17:33Speaker 1: the experiences and can tell me what they've experienced. And
- 17:36Speaker 1: I just try to get the best out of them.
- 17:38Speaker 1: And that's a that's all I do. You know, it's
- 17:40Speaker 1: a pretty easy job, but I really enjoy it.
- 17:41Speaker 2: I enjoyed hell yeah, but but yeah, yeah, So the
- 17:48Speaker 2: one that that one you know that one day you know,
- 17:51Speaker 2: they they they And it's a funny story. So my
- 17:56Speaker 2: friend and this is the first time I had taken
- 17:58Speaker 2: him up there, and I've been telling talking to him
- 18:01Speaker 2: about it for ten years and finally I said, look,
- 18:05Speaker 2: I said, just come come out with me, right And
- 18:08Speaker 2: so he finally did. And uh that that first morning,
- 18:13Speaker 2: I'm act. I got up first, I walked clear across
- 18:18Speaker 2: the campground. I got or you know, it's not really
- 18:20Speaker 2: a campground, right, it's just it's in the middle of nowhere, Okay,
- 18:26Speaker 2: it's and uh, you know, but I walked across this
- 18:29Speaker 2: old logging road up to the edge of the woods
- 18:31Speaker 2: and I just you know, and that was, you know,
- 18:34Speaker 2: your first morning relief, shall we say? Okay, okay, yeah,
- 18:38Speaker 2: yeah sure and uh so I'm just peeing against a
- 18:43Speaker 2: tree and uh and when I finished, I you know,
- 18:48Speaker 2: I did what every human does, right, I I farted, okay,
- 18:53Speaker 2: and uh and when I did, I.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Wasn't I love fart. I love anything with farts. Okay,
- 19:00Speaker 1: I'm on a comic. It's part. Yeah, it's part and
- 19:03Speaker 1: parcel for what I do. Well it I wasn't expecting
- 19:07Speaker 1: a fart, and that's another reason of funny. Yep.
- 19:11Speaker 2: So I farted and uh and probably about two hundred
- 19:15Speaker 2: feet away in in in the brush, I hear I
- 19:20Speaker 2: hear bigfoots of Joey farts they do. That's fantastic, you know.
- 19:30Speaker 2: And of course humor, right is a sign of higher intelligence.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Right, yes, in a universal connection that we could make.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Yep, all right, buddy, I wasn't trying to communicate with
- 19:41Speaker 2: him that way, but.
- 19:42Speaker 1: No, I know, but it's still great. It's still great.
- 19:45Speaker 2: So so yeah, so I I just I just looked
- 19:49Speaker 2: over that direction. I kind of went like that to
- 19:52Speaker 2: him and I and I laughed as well, and I said,
- 19:55Speaker 2: I said, did you like that in English, because they
- 20:00Speaker 2: do you understand English. And and with that I hear
- 20:05Speaker 2: what could have been a rock clack? But you know,
- 20:07Speaker 2: they just two clacks right, or could have been a
- 20:11Speaker 2: tongue clack. Not sure, but I you know, and I
- 20:14Speaker 2: just laughed and I said, well, good morning, and then
- 20:17Speaker 2: I walked back to camp. Well, as I get back
- 20:19Speaker 2: to camp, my buddy's just getting out of the tent
- 20:23Speaker 2: and I tell him the story and he laughs and
- 20:26Speaker 2: he laughs and he goes, he goes, oh, come on,
- 20:28Speaker 2: He goes, where was that? And I said, I said
- 20:30Speaker 2: right over here. Well, it was maybe about one hundred
- 20:32Speaker 2: and fifty feet away from triangulation, ok, I was And
- 20:38Speaker 2: I said, I said, yeah, I was right right over
- 20:40Speaker 2: here and I and he goes, oh, come on, And
- 20:43Speaker 2: I said, hang on a second. So I just said,
- 20:47Speaker 2: could you could you clack those rocks again? And about
- 20:52Speaker 2: from about one hundred and fifty feet away clack claque right?
- 20:56Speaker 2: And my friend's like, what, like, I'm command right, and
- 21:01Speaker 2: he's and and he's and I said, we'll answer him back.
- 21:05Speaker 2: And he goes and he starts looking around for some rocks.
- 21:07Speaker 2: And I said, I said, no, just like do a
- 21:09Speaker 2: tongue clack back to him. So so he goes and
- 21:14Speaker 2: and from the woods, black claque back, and I said,
- 21:19Speaker 2: and I said, we'll do it again. So this time
- 21:21Speaker 2: he goes, and sure enough a three times. This goes
- 21:27Speaker 2: on for five minutes where he's varying the the clicks
- 21:32Speaker 2: and the clacks and the and and they're and they're
- 21:35Speaker 2: actually mimicking it perfectly and stuff, and finally he goes, uh,
- 21:40Speaker 2: you know, and finally he just goes, and then it
- 21:44Speaker 2: was all quiet in the woods and I go, I
- 21:46Speaker 2: go way to go.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Pissed him off. Yeah, he was like, it's like so
- 21:52Speaker 1: it's like kind of it's like a jazz musician. It
- 21:56Speaker 1: can kind of. Yeah, that's so interesting. That's so interesting.
- 22:00Speaker 2: Yeah, that was That was That was remarkable.
- 22:03Speaker 1: How do you know they could speak English because they
- 22:05Speaker 1: were They gave you an intelligent response to your questions.
- 22:08Speaker 2: Absolutely, they'll take action on what I asked them. So
- 22:11Speaker 2: the one time I actually it was up on the
- 22:13Speaker 2: mogan Rim again, I was all night when we were
- 22:18Speaker 2: sitting around the campfire and it was the two of
- 22:20Speaker 2: my same friend and he was sleeping inside. He had
- 22:24Speaker 2: a you know, a bed set up inside of his suburban,
- 22:27Speaker 2: and I had a bed set up inside of my
- 22:28Speaker 2: Yukon and uh, I'm six five, yeah, so you know,
- 22:37Speaker 2: so you know, I have the Yukon excels so I
- 22:40Speaker 2: can stretch out in there. But but diagonally right, exactly,
- 22:44Speaker 2: It's still diagonally yeah, but I so I'm.
- 22:49Speaker 1: So right.
- 22:50Speaker 2: You know, all night when we were sitting at the campfire,
- 22:52Speaker 2: I could feel that we were being watched from this
- 22:55Speaker 2: hill side nearby. And so finally, you know, called it
- 23:00Speaker 2: a night. Uh, you know, put the fire out, and
- 23:03Speaker 2: we you know, he goes into the suburban and I'm
- 23:06Speaker 2: just about to get into the Yukon and I I
- 23:09Speaker 2: turn up towards that hill and I just I said
- 23:13Speaker 2: good night, good night. I said, uh, I said, I'd
- 23:16Speaker 2: love it if you could come down here and put
- 23:17Speaker 2: a handprint on my car. So so and then I
- 23:23Speaker 2: said good night, and I climbed and climbed in the
- 23:27Speaker 2: car and went to sleep.
- 23:28Speaker 1: Right.
- 23:29Speaker 2: So I wake up at three in the morning, and
- 23:32Speaker 2: just like you were saying, I'm sleeping a little diagonally
- 23:34Speaker 2: in there, so my face is a little closer to
- 23:37Speaker 2: the one of the side rear windows. And uh, and
- 23:41Speaker 2: as I woke up. I was wearing a fitbit, and
- 23:45Speaker 2: and the fit bit had a little gap between my
- 23:47Speaker 2: arm and the and the wrist. And as I, as
- 23:52Speaker 2: I was waking up, the green light, the laser light
- 23:56Speaker 2: from the fitbit turned on and it illuminated the inside
- 24:00Speaker 2: of the you know, cabin of the Yukon. And here's
- 24:05Speaker 2: just a foot away from my face, right at the
- 24:07Speaker 2: glass is this face just geez dude looking looking in
- 24:13Speaker 2: at me. And as as I looked right at it
- 24:15Speaker 2: and looked right into his face, he just backed the
- 24:18Speaker 2: way into the darkness, you know, just faded out right.
- 24:22Speaker 1: And you seem to be extremely like excited happy to
- 24:27Speaker 1: tell me about these things. There's no no fear, I
- 24:32Speaker 1: mean no, what has made you unafraid of such a
- 24:35Speaker 1: large animal that is supposedly, supposedly by science not recognized.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Right, It came to a realization on my So, my
- 24:46Speaker 2: my very first sighting was at night, was with a
- 24:50Speaker 2: night It was with a night vision scope. I didn't
- 24:52Speaker 2: have anything to record with, and I had my both
- 24:56Speaker 2: my kids and my twelve year old nephew with and
- 25:00Speaker 2: during the day we had set up audio traps and
- 25:04Speaker 2: so forth all over the woods that I had built
- 25:05Speaker 2: out of these waterproof boxes and the But my daughter
- 25:13Speaker 2: wasn't feeling well. So my son's like, I'll just stay
- 25:15Speaker 2: with her in the car. So I just went out
- 25:18Speaker 2: with my nephew, probably a good two three hundred feet
- 25:21Speaker 2: away from the car, and did a couple of woodknock,
- 25:26Speaker 2: you know, wood knocks, and immediately got a response from
- 25:29Speaker 2: about a quarter mile away with a whoop, and so
- 25:34Speaker 2: then I did one single knock back after that. After
- 25:38Speaker 2: I did two knocks, I got a whoop response, and
- 25:41Speaker 2: I did a one knock and then and then just
- 25:44Speaker 2: sat there quietly for about twenty minutes. So after about
- 25:48Speaker 2: twenty minutes, I I knocked twice again and and the
- 25:53Speaker 2: whoop comes and it's right across the canyon from us,
- 25:57Speaker 2: I mean almost like same level that we were at
- 26:01Speaker 2: on the side of the canyon, but just right directly
- 26:05Speaker 2: on the other side of the canyon, so very loud,
- 26:07Speaker 2: and and uh, my nephew's like, are you going to
- 26:12Speaker 2: knock again? And I go, it knows exactly where we are.
- 26:16Speaker 2: And by this time, you know, I hadn't seen one yet, right,
- 26:20Speaker 2: I had been doing knocks back and forth. I've heard
- 26:23Speaker 2: them grunting, I've you know, I've had had rocks thrown
- 26:26Speaker 2: at me, you know, during that period and stuff. But
- 26:31Speaker 2: after a couple of minutes, I started I hear some
- 26:35Speaker 2: rocks scrabble down into the into the base of the
- 26:38Speaker 2: canyon and the and then I could hear something starting
- 26:42Speaker 2: to come up through you know, come up the hillside
- 26:46Speaker 2: towards us. Yeah, and then and then all falls quiet again.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Right.
- 26:50Speaker 2: So this so my nephew's got the I R scope
- 26:53Speaker 2: right with the you know, infrared and night vision, and
- 26:57Speaker 2: he's looking down the hill and he goes, oh, I
- 26:59Speaker 2: saw something lean out from this tree and went and
- 27:03Speaker 2: it duck back in. And he goes, oh, there it
- 27:06Speaker 2: goes again, you know, And I said, give me the scope.
- 27:09Speaker 1: You know.
- 27:09Speaker 2: So I saw, you know, and it was hard because
- 27:12Speaker 2: it was still probably a good forty fifty feet away,
- 27:17Speaker 2: and I you know, you couldn't couldn't tell leaned out,
- 27:20Speaker 2: looked and leaned back in, right, yeah, And then I
- 27:23Speaker 2: could And then I could hear it slowly coming up
- 27:26Speaker 2: the hill. And then if you could hear it, I
- 27:30Speaker 2: could hear just it very just little clicks and just
- 27:34Speaker 2: twigs breaking a little bit, so incredibly silent. They you know,
- 27:41Speaker 2: after that encounter. I said, they're forest ninjas. I don't
- 27:44Speaker 2: know how they walk with their weight on that, on
- 27:48Speaker 2: that forest litter and not.
- 27:50Speaker 1: They are the master of their domain, you know, like
- 27:53Speaker 1: you and I on the construction site. We can go
- 27:55Speaker 1: welding and put the pipes and whatever we're doing with
- 27:57Speaker 1: a master of that domain. But then ye was that's there,
- 28:01Speaker 1: that's their stop, that's their thing.
- 28:02Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely, but so so that then I couldn't hear anymore, right,
- 28:07Speaker 2: I didn't hear any more little thing. So I'm like, okay,
- 28:11Speaker 2: it's it's gotten close to us, but I can't see
- 28:15Speaker 2: it still because all the brush that was in the way,
- 28:17Speaker 2: you know, the ir was reflecting off of the leaves
- 28:20Speaker 2: and stuff. So I just lean over to my nephew
- 28:24Speaker 2: and I said, I said, remember when we were out
- 28:27Speaker 2: here hiking earlier today. I said, there was that area
- 28:30Speaker 2: that had no trees or vegetation, and you could see
- 28:33Speaker 2: all the way down to the creek bed down below
- 28:36Speaker 2: at the base of the canyon. And he goes, yeah,
- 28:38Speaker 2: and I said, well, that's on our way back to
- 28:41Speaker 2: the car. I said, let's pretend like we didn't see anything.
- 28:44Speaker 2: We don't know anything. And I said, well, and I'm
- 28:47Speaker 2: whispering this to him in his ear. And I said,
- 28:49Speaker 2: and we'll just start walking back towards the car. And
- 28:52Speaker 2: I said, and then if I tell you stop, just
- 28:55Speaker 2: stop deading your tracks, because I wanted to see if
- 28:57Speaker 2: they were going to if it was following us, right.
- 29:00Speaker 2: So I so we walk about fifty feet and I
- 29:05Speaker 2: said stop, and my nephew stops, and I hear one
- 29:09Speaker 2: or one extra foot fall, very common, yeah, And I'm like,
- 29:15Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm like, all right, it's following us, right.
- 29:18Speaker 2: So I said, when we get to that open area,
- 29:21Speaker 2: I said, I'll just tell you now, and you turn
- 29:25Speaker 2: around and look, you know, to your left and look
- 29:28Speaker 2: down that that gap. And he goes, okay. So we
- 29:31Speaker 2: walk and walk and walk, and we get over to
- 29:33Speaker 2: that area that has no vegetation and and I and
- 29:37Speaker 2: I hear a twig snap, and I said, now my
- 29:41Speaker 2: nephew turns around. He's got the scope up to his
- 29:43Speaker 2: eye and and and he just says, yep, there it is.
- 29:52Speaker 2: And it said, now, my nephew, twelve years old. He's
- 29:56Speaker 2: been his entire career, actually even to date, he's because
- 29:59Speaker 2: he's never gone back out again his entire career of
- 30:03Speaker 2: squatching was fifty two minutes and he had a sighting
- 30:07Speaker 2: and he's like, oh my god. Yeah. So he says, Yep,
- 30:11Speaker 2: there it is. And I said, what's it doing? And
- 30:14Speaker 2: he said looking at me. I said, give me the scope.
- 30:17Speaker 2: He gives me the scope. I get it up to
- 30:19Speaker 2: my eye just in time to see it take one
- 30:22Speaker 2: more step and then go behind a tree. Well, in
- 30:25Speaker 2: that one step it was a profile view and it
- 30:29Speaker 2: was a female. You know, I've had people ask me,
- 30:32Speaker 2: how did you know it was a female.
- 30:33Speaker 1: It was like breast, yeah, exactly, yeah.
- 30:37Speaker 2: But she steps behind this tree and she puts her
- 30:40Speaker 2: hand on the side of the tree and the hand
- 30:44Speaker 2: from the elbow to the to the fingertips is visible
- 30:49Speaker 2: for about three minutes.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Wow.
- 30:52Speaker 2: As the two of us sat there looking back for it. Now,
- 30:55Speaker 2: that tree was only about thirty feet away from us,
- 30:57Speaker 2: and the night vision scope had about a two times magnification,
- 31:02Speaker 2: so right there and and you could see the I
- 31:07Speaker 2: mean I could see the fingernails were cracked.
- 31:10Speaker 1: And you know, you kind of rest the people who
- 31:12Speaker 1: have never seen, like myself and many many, many others,
- 31:15Speaker 1: what is that experience like seeing something that's not supposed
- 31:18Speaker 1: to exist.
- 31:19Speaker 2: It was uh, I mean, I had to catch my breath.
- 31:23Speaker 2: I was excited. I wasn't fearful, I was, but I was.
- 31:28Speaker 2: It was exhilarating, curious and cautious all at the same time,
- 31:35Speaker 2: because you know.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Like your ears were like tingling probably right, yeah, feeling Oh, the.
- 31:42Speaker 2: Adrenaline running through your body. It was unbelievable. But you know,
- 31:46Speaker 2: and but it was really funny with this, with this encounter,
- 31:50Speaker 2: I certainly didn't have that fight or flight response right right,
- 31:54Speaker 2: And and but you know, we sat there looking at
- 31:58Speaker 2: at that left arm with the fingernails, and I always
- 32:02Speaker 2: tell people, I'm like, the fingers were like ballpark franks.
- 32:05Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, okay, And.
- 32:09Speaker 2: There was yeah exactly, yeah, And there was there was
- 32:12Speaker 2: no I mean, did not have a manicure, right, And
- 32:17Speaker 2: there was hair. There was hair on the hanging off
- 32:19Speaker 2: the side of the hand, hair off the forearm, you know,
- 32:22Speaker 2: on the forearm and off the forearm. And there was
- 32:25Speaker 2: just a slight light breeze so that and the hares
- 32:28Speaker 2: were not matted or clumped or anything like that. They
- 32:31Speaker 2: they were flowing freely, lit just in the in the wind.
- 32:35Speaker 2: And then finally she took her hand off at the
- 32:37Speaker 2: side of the tree. Now, later on I went back
- 32:40Speaker 2: and and tried to determine, you know, why did she
- 32:43Speaker 2: have her hand on the tree right? So so during
- 32:47Speaker 2: the daytime, you know, I figured if if you're hanging
- 32:49Speaker 2: onto a tree, well, number one, it was the hillside,
- 32:53Speaker 2: so and where that tree was. If she wasn't hanging
- 32:56Speaker 2: onto that tree, she would have fallen back down the
- 32:57Speaker 2: hill because it was very steep right there. So she
- 33:01Speaker 2: had to hang on in order to not fall backwards, didn't.
- 33:04Speaker 2: I don't think she realized her hand was visible. Number one.
- 33:08Speaker 2: Number two, you know, if you're if if I was
- 33:12Speaker 2: gonna when I stood behind the tree, I needed to
- 33:14Speaker 2: figure you know, I needed to catch my balance as well, right,
- 33:18Speaker 2: and you would put your arm probably at the same
- 33:21Speaker 2: height as your shoulder right so it would be okay,
- 33:24Speaker 2: so you know, you wouldn't put your arm like up
- 33:27Speaker 2: here in order or down here at the waist level
- 33:31Speaker 2: or something, right, Yeah, So and that provided the most
- 33:36Speaker 2: the best balance for myself, and I reasoned that she
- 33:40Speaker 2: would have had the same issue. So where her hand
- 33:44Speaker 2: was was sixty nine inches off the ground.
- 33:49Speaker 1: I've lived in Europe for many years, okay, so sixty
- 33:52Speaker 1: is five foot five foot.
- 33:56Speaker 2: Nine, yeah, nine ten somewhere in there. And I reasoned
- 34:01Speaker 2: that the shoulder and what I saw, you know that
- 34:04Speaker 2: she was probably about seven to seven three maybe you know,
- 34:09Speaker 2: all cow And.
- 34:12Speaker 1: That's incredible. I remember I remember walking in there. So
- 34:15Speaker 1: I lived down here and I bought ten acres in
- 34:18Speaker 1: the middle of jungle down here, because they're never going
- 34:20Speaker 1: to make me. They're never going to try to give
- 34:22Speaker 1: me a vaccine again. Bro, That's why I moved from Europe.
- 34:25Speaker 1: That's why i'm down here. Bro, man, that's why I'm
- 34:27Speaker 1: down here. Yeah, dude, and I remember the first time
- 34:31Speaker 1: they made me, they made Yeah, but unfortunately, Yeah, it's
- 34:35Speaker 1: some bit just yeah, that's some uh. People don't. People
- 34:39Speaker 1: don't remember the Nuremberg trials verywell today anyhow. So I
- 34:43Speaker 1: was walking, yeah, now you do go back. Wait a minute,
- 34:48Speaker 1: I can't be coerced. Wait, man's age. They hung people
- 34:52Speaker 1: for that, Okay, exact. I was walking through the forest
- 34:56Speaker 1: here and I remember just my with my daughter, she's
- 34:59Speaker 1: a it was like seven or eight at the time,
- 35:02Speaker 1: and we ran across like some like undocumented Mayan ruins.
- 35:06Speaker 1: Nothing major, just a circle of rocks on the ground
- 35:10Speaker 1: and that feeling of exhilaration of seeing something that probably
- 35:14Speaker 1: no one has seen in a very very long time.
- 35:15Speaker 1: Sat for maybe hunters, you know, but for you know,
- 35:18Speaker 1: somebody from North America or wherever you know, well Mexico's
- 35:22Speaker 1: technically North America, but from the United States. Yep, it's
- 35:26Speaker 1: it's exhilarating. But I can't even imagine seeing a large
- 35:30Speaker 1: bipedal primate that even though I mean, I am more
- 35:36Speaker 1: than convinced that it's real. I mean, for me, it's
- 35:38Speaker 1: like I UFOs were the first one around, like yet,
- 35:41Speaker 1: this is real, and then it's Bigfoot and I'm working
- 35:43Speaker 1: my way to dog Man. That's the next one. I'm
- 35:46Speaker 1: getting my way to. I got, yeah, this is a
- 35:48Speaker 1: real thing.
- 35:49Speaker 2: I have not had a dog Man encounter yet either,
- 35:51Speaker 2: so yeah, yeah.
- 35:52Speaker 1: I talked to Jody Jody Cooks who's the president of
- 35:56Speaker 1: the North American dog Man Project, and he is he's
- 36:00Speaker 1: all about it and and like the things he talks
- 36:02Speaker 1: about and the experiences. I Actually, I'm gonna have somebody
- 36:05Speaker 1: on who has a videotape of a dog man actually
- 36:08Speaker 1: holding it's young, so that's gonna be interesting. But Bigfoot
- 36:14Speaker 1: has always fascinated me because of their because of the
- 36:18Speaker 1: things I hear. You know, it's there's people who are
- 36:21Speaker 1: just like, it's only this, and there's people it's only that.
- 36:26Speaker 1: And then I like to be on the fence with
- 36:28Speaker 1: everything in life and be like, it's a little bit
- 36:30Speaker 1: of both men. It's kind of physical and it's also
- 36:33Speaker 1: whatever the hell of this other stuff is? Have you
- 36:37Speaker 1: I don't like the I don't not gonna use the word.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Have you experienced anything like metaphysical with them, anything where
- 36:41Speaker 1: it's kind of out of the ordinary.
- 36:44Speaker 2: Yes, And now, you know, I had a lot of
- 36:46Speaker 2: friends that said, oh, I had encounters, I had mind
- 36:49Speaker 2: speak or I had you know, And like I said,
- 36:53Speaker 2: I you know, I've spoken to them in English, right,
- 36:56Speaker 2: and and I you know, and I got respond I
- 37:00Speaker 2: didn't oh, I you know what, I didn't finish that
- 37:02Speaker 2: story with the oh the face at the window.
- 37:05Speaker 1: Right.
- 37:06Speaker 2: So I look out, I'm looking out and it's only starlight.
- 37:10Speaker 2: I don't see any movement. I'm looking for any movement
- 37:12Speaker 2: between trees and the starlight. I don't see anything, right,
- 37:16Speaker 2: So I looked for probably about twenty minutes out there.
- 37:18Speaker 2: I didn't see anything. I ended up going back to
- 37:20Speaker 2: sleep in the Yukon. I wake up at five point
- 37:23Speaker 2: fifteen am, right at pre dawn light, and on the
- 37:27Speaker 2: side of my window is this handprint just like I right,
- 37:32Speaker 2: and this handprint is from the tip of the pinky
- 37:35Speaker 2: down to the base of the thumb was fourteen inches.
- 37:40Speaker 2: I don't know what that is in centimeters, twelve or thirty,
- 37:44Speaker 2: so it's about thirty four centimeters. Yeah, so from the tip,
- 37:48Speaker 2: just the tip of the pinky down to the it's huge.
- 37:53Speaker 2: I have a photo that I took with where I
- 37:55Speaker 2: put right.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Yeah, very sea liked by certain women, yes, yes, yeah.
- 38:02Speaker 2: And the the funny thing was the tip of the pinky,
- 38:06Speaker 2: just that top digit right there. It was an inch
- 38:08Speaker 2: inch and a quarter wide. The last the last joint,
- 38:12Speaker 2: the last joint, I can't wide wide on there. And
- 38:17Speaker 2: you could see the dermal ridges in the in the
- 38:20Speaker 2: print as well.
- 38:21Speaker 1: Did you get it? Is there any Was there any
- 38:22Speaker 1: white powder involved, like any type.
- 38:24Speaker 2: Of There was not. I didn't see anything on the
- 38:27Speaker 2: outside of the so what this was interesting?
- 38:30Speaker 1: Though?
- 38:31Speaker 2: There was There must have been because the print actually
- 38:35Speaker 2: was visible because the it had gotten so cold overnight
- 38:40Speaker 2: and I was inside an enclosed vehicle. All of the
- 38:43Speaker 2: condensation on the inside of the window. The print was
- 38:46Speaker 2: visible because whatever was on the outside of the window,
- 38:52Speaker 2: in the oils of the hand insulated the glass where
- 38:56Speaker 2: the handprint had been placed on the outside of the
- 38:58Speaker 2: window right so on, So the print was really the
- 39:02Speaker 2: condensation on the inside. On the outside, you couldn't see it.
- 39:06Speaker 2: You couldn't really see any print on the outside. It
- 39:08Speaker 2: was interesting.
- 39:10Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 39:11Speaker 2: Now, however, that very same night, on my friend's suburban's hood,
- 39:15Speaker 2: he had a handprint as well, but it was in
- 39:19Speaker 2: the dust on the hood and it was eleven inches
- 39:22Speaker 2: from the tip of the pinky down to the base
- 39:24Speaker 2: of the thumb, and that one was super clear with
- 39:28Speaker 2: with a lot of dermal ridges, and you could actually
- 39:30Speaker 2: see wisps of hair off the side of the hand
- 39:34Speaker 2: wrist in the in the dust as well where it
- 39:37Speaker 2: placed it. But the interesting thing was is was the
- 39:42Speaker 2: less uh, it wasn't The print didn't occur as much
- 39:46Speaker 2: in the center of your hand where your hand has
- 39:49Speaker 2: you know, the cave con cave, yes, and so you know,
- 39:57Speaker 2: so their hand is very similar to our in that aspect,
- 40:01Speaker 2: based on that print as well. But like I said,
- 40:05Speaker 2: so speaking in English, so if I'm going back to
- 40:09Speaker 2: unusual encounters. I I went, let's see, I will I'll
- 40:19Speaker 2: tell one quick story before I get into the visits there.
- 40:24Speaker 2: So in twenty thirteen, I was actually assisting on a
- 40:27Speaker 2: BFO expedition, which actually I'm going to be on one
- 40:30Speaker 2: this year. It's my first one in thirteen years that
- 40:33Speaker 2: I've that I've done. But in twenty thirteen, I'm on
- 40:37Speaker 2: this BFRO expedition. I'm helping out the the organizers. And
- 40:44Speaker 2: I got up late to the camp site and I
- 40:48Speaker 2: set up my tent like on the far side of camp,
- 40:51Speaker 2: right near the edge of the woods. Right it was
- 40:53Speaker 2: a big clear clearing area, and we went out and
- 40:58Speaker 2: did normal BFRO stuff, banging on trees and anyway, you know.
- 41:03Speaker 2: But we come and we didn't have didn't get any success.
- 41:06Speaker 2: That evening, I get back, I go to sleep in
- 41:08Speaker 2: the tent. Well, that night it got really cold. I
- 41:11Speaker 2: had an air mattress in my tent that had a
- 41:14Speaker 2: headboard on it, and what I ended up doing was
- 41:17Speaker 2: putting on a ball cap and then taking a towel
- 41:21Speaker 2: and placing it over my face because it got down
- 41:23Speaker 2: to about twenty five degrees twenty four degrees overnight.
- 41:26Speaker 1: And.
- 41:28Speaker 2: So that way I could kind of breathe out the side.
- 41:31Speaker 2: But I kept my ears, you know, because I kept
- 41:33Speaker 2: waking up because my ears were freezing. So I wake
- 41:38Speaker 2: up at three am, after I'm getting some good sleep finally,
- 41:43Speaker 2: and I realize I am bent at the waist, So
- 41:47Speaker 2: I am, my shoulders are off the air mattress, and
- 41:53Speaker 2: that's about and I start waking up. And that's the
- 41:56Speaker 2: time I realized that something is cupping my head through
- 42:02Speaker 2: the tent. So they have lifted me up off of
- 42:05Speaker 2: the mattress, air mattress and cupping my head. And and
- 42:10Speaker 2: as I started waking up and turned it, it gently
- 42:13Speaker 2: set me down, gently set me down, and then you
- 42:17Speaker 2: could hear dermal ridges on the nylon goes zoo as
- 42:21Speaker 2: it released released me. And then I could hear something
- 42:25Speaker 2: bipedally walking off into the into the woods.
- 42:29Speaker 1: So you're inside the tent.
- 42:31Speaker 2: I'm inside the tent. My head was right next to
- 42:33Speaker 2: the edge of the tent with this air mattress, and
- 42:36Speaker 2: it moved you in the night. It it cuped my
- 42:40Speaker 2: My head must have been right up against or right
- 42:43Speaker 2: near the side of the tent, and it it cupped,
- 42:46Speaker 2: it reached in and kind of threw the tent material
- 42:49Speaker 2: cupped my head and then looked.
- 42:51Speaker 1: Between you and because you were like moved while you
- 42:55Speaker 1: were sleeping.
- 42:57Speaker 2: Yes, I mean I was, like I said, I was.
- 42:59Speaker 2: I was just bent at the waist, so I was
- 43:01Speaker 2: lifted up like that and then it let me back
- 43:04Speaker 2: down again. You were bent at was like this, yeah, yep,
- 43:08Speaker 2: and it like I kind of like just reached in
- 43:10Speaker 2: and pushed you up. You think pushed me up, but
- 43:12Speaker 2: it had. I could feel the hand on either side
- 43:15Speaker 2: of my head. Oh my god, dude, Yeah, why would
- 43:19Speaker 2: it do that? I don't know.
- 43:23Speaker 1: I know you don't know, but it's one of this questions.
- 43:25Speaker 2: I can tell you this from this, from this, from
- 43:28Speaker 2: that moment on, since twenty thirteen, didn't matter what state
- 43:33Speaker 2: I'm doing researching, because work takes me all over the place.
- 43:37Speaker 2: And then I would you know, I'd spend four or
- 43:40Speaker 2: five days in a city and I would go out
- 43:42Speaker 2: and I'd spend every night in the woods in those locations,
- 43:46Speaker 2: so you no matter.
- 43:47Speaker 1: Where you were, You're just like, uh, where's the nearest
- 43:49Speaker 1: state park on there? Right?
- 43:51Speaker 2: I mean I have had I've had actual sightings in
- 43:54Speaker 2: four different states, including you, know one of them Arizona,
- 43:58Speaker 2: and I've had encounter is in about sixteen states. Maryland, yes,
- 44:04Speaker 2: actually Maryland was one of them. From Maryland along the
- 44:09Speaker 2: b and O Canal area. Canal area, So if you
- 44:14Speaker 2: head west from Rockville.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Okay, Rockville is near Rockfield's near d C. It is, yes, Okay,
- 44:23Speaker 1: the Rockfields that's north of d C on the two seventy.
- 44:26Speaker 2: It is absolutely is.
- 44:28Speaker 1: Oh, so you were over towards the so you're over
- 44:30Speaker 1: towards the Potomac River.
- 44:32Speaker 2: Okay, I got you, Yes, And the b and O
- 44:34Speaker 2: Canal kind of comes off from that direction.
- 44:37Speaker 1: Okay. I don't know the area, but because I'm up
- 44:40Speaker 1: near Baltimore to Potapstrica River, oh okay, yeah, so yeah, okay.
- 44:44Speaker 2: All right, I've been up in that area as well.
- 44:47Speaker 2: But yeah, I've been in New Jersey. I actually got
- 44:51Speaker 2: call responses, you know, in New Jersey that was right
- 44:55Speaker 2: across from South Philadelphia. I mean they're right there there
- 44:59Speaker 2: there and urban areas I found them in in Long
- 45:03Speaker 2: Island out in the middle of Long Island, in.
- 45:06Speaker 1: The middle Long Island.
- 45:08Speaker 2: Yeah. Actually in two locations on Long Island, one in
- 45:11Speaker 2: the eastern Long Island, one in Central Long Island?
- 45:16Speaker 1: What what are what are they? Carl, What what do
- 45:19Speaker 1: you think they are? What are they? Do?
- 45:20Speaker 2: They are? They're they're like us, they are people. There
- 45:26Speaker 2: are people's Okay, you know they're they're they don't look
- 45:31Speaker 2: like us particularly, but you know they're they're close, you know,
- 45:37Speaker 2: and uh, but you know Long Island there was the
- 45:40Speaker 2: last report of a of a sighting of a wild
- 45:43Speaker 2: man on Long Island was eighteen ninety nine at Rockaway Beach.
- 45:48Speaker 1: Okay, real close in New York City.
- 45:50Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yep, and but uh, you know, I decide
- 45:55Speaker 2: I took a different route because I was like, there's
- 45:56Speaker 2: no way, you know, I want to. It was depressing
- 46:00Speaker 2: because initially I was in Manhattan and I knew that's.
- 46:04Speaker 1: You know, whether you want to maybe such a park.
- 46:10Speaker 2: There are some crazies there.
- 46:11Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah you might. You might find a big
- 46:13Speaker 1: hairy man in Central Park, but not it was likely
- 46:16Speaker 1: not a South squatch, okay.
- 46:17Speaker 2: Right, but no. I started looking at paranormal websites, ghost
- 46:23Speaker 2: hunting websites where somebody would actually you know, they said, oh,
- 46:27Speaker 2: there was a story of a woman whose child died
- 46:31Speaker 2: in the mid sixteen hundreds, and she cries for her
- 46:34Speaker 2: child every night. You hear her mournful howls.
- 46:37Speaker 1: Oh, it's like then here in Mexico.
- 46:40Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Ana, yeah, And you know, but you know,
- 46:43Speaker 2: they went out to the woods where you know, her
- 46:45Speaker 2: spirit roams and and rocks were thrown at them from
- 46:49Speaker 2: out of thin air.
- 46:51Speaker 1: Right.
- 46:51Speaker 2: So I read all that and I said, hmm, wow,
- 46:56Speaker 2: sounds like we saw we saw glowing red eye, you know,
- 47:01Speaker 2: in the way. And I was like, okay, so yeah,
- 47:06Speaker 2: and so I I said, well that's so, and I
- 47:08Speaker 2: went there and sure enough I found structures and I
- 47:13Speaker 2: and I ended up starting started a gifting station there
- 47:16Speaker 2: where I would place apples and and uh and finally
- 47:20Speaker 2: after you know, apples were being taken. But you know,
- 47:24Speaker 2: it could have been anything, right. I am my worst skeptic.
- 47:28Speaker 2: I've probably dismissed so much evidence, you know, over the
- 47:33Speaker 2: over time that probably was a sasquatch effect.
- 47:36Speaker 1: But the I do, man did the way you call. Okay,
- 47:39Speaker 1: I'm gonna this is what I do. Okay, being a
- 47:41Speaker 1: comic and a person who does what he does, I
- 47:44Speaker 1: can read you. You're you are You're just in the
- 47:49Speaker 1: best way possible to run in the mill. Guy, I
- 47:52Speaker 1: would say, rather intelligent, not hyper super intelligent, but a
- 47:56Speaker 1: rather intelligent guy. And you just you have an interest
- 48:00Speaker 1: and what the hell is this? It's interesting to me?
- 48:03Speaker 1: I love not then the unknowing and the running into
- 48:08Speaker 1: something that doesn't exist is very exciting to you because
- 48:12Speaker 1: it's so it fits your personality if it's my personality
- 48:18Speaker 1: as well. Uh, and it's just extremely exciting and extremely gratifying.
- 48:25Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, it is, it really is. And you know,
- 48:29Speaker 2: and of course now i'm you know, I've kind of moved.
- 48:32Speaker 2: Like I said, I don't go out there and try
- 48:34Speaker 2: to place camera traps and trick them and do whatever.
- 48:38Speaker 2: It's like I'm out there in order to interact with them.
- 48:42Speaker 1: And that's what the that's what people who have the best,
- 48:44Speaker 1: the best experiences, other people who go about it the
- 48:47Speaker 1: way you do. Tom Cantrell have you heard of him?
- 48:51Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah I was. I had him
- 48:53Speaker 1: one and he's just like, I'll just go out there, man,
- 48:55Speaker 1: and I just he's just passed rest in peace, he he.
- 48:59Speaker 1: I go out there, I put my lawn chair, I
- 49:00Speaker 1: get my diapepsy or whatever, and I started reading a book.
- 49:03Speaker 1: I start read a book. And next thing you know,
- 49:05Speaker 1: they're just right there. Hey, what's up.
- 49:07Speaker 2: They're coming around.
- 49:09Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because they're interested.
- 49:11Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And so so you know, I in twenty nineteen,
- 49:17Speaker 2: I was in Alton, Illinois, and well actually I was
- 49:23Speaker 2: in Saint Louis doing work, but I went over to Alton,
- 49:25Speaker 2: Illinois to check out a couple of locations where I
- 49:28Speaker 2: was pretty sure that they were hanging out in and
- 49:34Speaker 2: but in summer twenty nineteen, there was a big flooding
- 49:37Speaker 2: on the Mississippi River. So I went to I went
- 49:41Speaker 2: over to this first location that I wanted to go into.
- 49:43Speaker 2: I was trying to get into these woods, and of course,
- 49:45Speaker 2: the there was a dirt road that came off of
- 49:48Speaker 2: this kind of you know, this two lane highway and
- 49:52Speaker 2: you know, and down into these woods. Well there was
- 49:56Speaker 2: it was flooded. I couldn't get into that area. So
- 49:59Speaker 2: I drove around the other side and tried to get Nope,
- 50:02Speaker 2: can't get in there. Whatever. So finally I came back
- 50:04Speaker 2: to where I initially started and I parked the car
- 50:07Speaker 2: and I was gonna do a call from the side
- 50:11Speaker 2: of the road and see if I got a response
- 50:12Speaker 2: out of those woods. And just as I got I
- 50:16Speaker 2: got out of the car and I stood on the
- 50:17Speaker 2: side of the highway and I thought to myself, you know,
- 50:20Speaker 2: this is probably a perfect time for me to try
- 50:23Speaker 2: an experiment. So I just stood on the side of
- 50:26Speaker 2: the road. I didn't say a word, and I only
- 50:30Speaker 2: thought to myself, if you're in there, if you're in
- 50:34Speaker 2: these woods, could you please knock. It wasn't within thirty seconds, crack,
- 50:43Speaker 2: this tree knock comes out of the woods, right, And
- 50:47Speaker 2: I thought to myself, and I was shocked first, of course,
- 50:51Speaker 2: because I did not expect that to work. And then
- 50:56Speaker 2: I thought to myself, thank you. And then I hear
- 51:01Speaker 2: in my head and I know it wasn't my own thought.
- 51:05Speaker 2: I hear in my head go in peace. I'm like,
- 51:12Speaker 2: I'm like, wow, okay. And up until that point, up
- 51:16Speaker 2: until that point, I did not I hadn't experienced anything
- 51:20Speaker 2: like that, right, So so I just I waved to
- 51:25Speaker 2: the darkness and I got back in my car, you know,
- 51:29Speaker 2: and I you know, and I drove to my second
- 51:33Speaker 2: location that I wanted to try out. Well, the same
- 51:35Speaker 2: thing happened there. It was flooded. In fact, this one
- 51:38Speaker 2: was like a swamp. I mean, you just it was
- 51:42Speaker 2: there was a lot of water in that area, and
- 51:45Speaker 2: so I did the same thing. I parked on the
- 51:47Speaker 2: side of the road, I got out, I stood there.
- 51:50Speaker 2: I thought to myself, you know, if you're in there,
- 51:52Speaker 2: if you're in these woods, could you please knock. And
- 51:57Speaker 2: it was almost instantaneously I start hearing something by pedally
- 52:01Speaker 2: going slash slash, slash, like through water. And then it
- 52:07Speaker 2: was either a very very wet stick hitting a tree
- 52:10Speaker 2: or a very very wet arm slapping a tree. Because
- 52:15Speaker 2: but it was close enough that I could actually hear
- 52:17Speaker 2: the water droplets that sprayed off of the strike tree.
- 52:22Speaker 2: You could hear it. And once again I was a
- 52:26Speaker 2: little stunned that it worked again. So instead of saying
- 52:31Speaker 2: thank you, I thought to myself, what are you doing
- 52:36Speaker 2: in there? Right? And and I hear back in my
- 52:41Speaker 2: head catching frogs, all right? And with that, I thought
- 52:51Speaker 2: to myself, I used what I learned from stop number one.
- 52:55Speaker 2: I thought to myself, go in peace. And and then
- 53:01Speaker 2: I could hear some walking in the slashing through the water.
- 53:05Speaker 1: And that was that.
- 53:07Speaker 2: And so I got back in my car. I went
- 53:09Speaker 2: down to the nearest pub and I got myself a you.
- 53:12Speaker 1: Know, a little drink.
- 53:15Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like I was, like, what just happened?
- 53:19Speaker 1: You know? I was, Yeah, beautiful, wasn't doing what you're
- 53:21Speaker 1: doing right? You're you're using a scientific thing and software
- 53:25Speaker 1: and development and all these things. How do you you know,
- 53:29Speaker 1: how do you explain to a biologist or something like
- 53:31Speaker 1: someone at Harvard with the button down suit and all that.
- 53:35Speaker 1: How is it? Isn't it? I think in the end,
- 53:37Speaker 1: my my opinion is that it's it's a mindset like
- 53:40Speaker 1: if you're open, very much open, but a lot of
- 53:43Speaker 1: people want to go and then step through that door
- 53:45Speaker 1: and say all that the mindset of like some type
- 53:47Speaker 1: of craziness. No, it's like the mindset of being open,
- 53:51Speaker 1: of like being open to listen, yes, and and and
- 53:55Speaker 1: feel and connect yep, yeah, coolly and now yeah.
- 54:03Speaker 2: Fast forward to twenty twenty three, I met my cousin's farm,
- 54:06Speaker 2: which is actually up the Illinois River from in Illinois,
- 54:13Speaker 2: not far from where I was. And in twenty thirteen
- 54:18Speaker 2: I had stayed at one of their cabins on the
- 54:19Speaker 2: farm and I had something visit me at about three
- 54:22Speaker 2: in the morning, and I could see a shadow on
- 54:25Speaker 2: the outside of the window through the curtain. But like
- 54:29Speaker 2: I said, ten years later, I'm back there, and I
- 54:32Speaker 2: was a little disappointed the night that I was staying
- 54:35Speaker 2: there that I didn't get a visitor. So I'm walking
- 54:38Speaker 2: from the cabin over to the main farmhouse and I
- 54:42Speaker 2: looked up and they have big bluffs on their property
- 54:45Speaker 2: that go up about three hundred feet and I'm as
- 54:49Speaker 2: I'm walking down the dirt road to the farmhouse, I
- 54:52Speaker 2: looked up in the early morning. I looked up and
- 54:55Speaker 2: I thought to myself, I just thought, right, I wonder
- 54:59Speaker 2: if I'm being watched, and and with and with that,
- 55:05Speaker 2: there was a single tree, just a very thin probably
- 55:08Speaker 2: I want to say, maybe four or five inch diameter
- 55:11Speaker 2: tree just goes sapling, goes and shakes on the on
- 55:18Speaker 2: the side of this bluff. And I and I was
- 55:22Speaker 2: kind of shocked, and I went like, come on, I
- 55:25Speaker 2: just chuckle a little bit. I walked about another forty
- 55:28Speaker 2: to fifty feet towards the farmhouse and I stopped and
- 55:32Speaker 2: I looked back up towards the hill and I thought
- 55:34Speaker 2: to my and I just thought to myself, do that again, right?
- 55:40Speaker 2: And that one almost instantly, that one single tree that
- 55:43Speaker 2: it shook before shakes again, you know.
- 55:46Speaker 1: And.
- 55:48Speaker 2: You know it's it's it's I I can't explain it,
- 55:52Speaker 2: you know, but I can repeat it, right. And isn't
- 55:54Speaker 2: that what part of sciences is being able to repeat
- 55:57Speaker 2: an event?
- 55:58Speaker 1: Right, It's part of the events of the steps. It's
- 56:00Speaker 1: like towards the end six or seven, that's one I
- 56:03Speaker 1: think the stuff is like review. Yeah, the scientific method.
- 56:08Speaker 1: I think there's going to I think there's you know,
- 56:10Speaker 1: with this whole UFO, you know, people starting to kind
- 56:14Speaker 1: of like accepting. I think this is the next one,
- 56:17Speaker 1: the next, the next domino to fall analogy.
