Like he said it was almost like water, you know, like it ripples It would phase in and out and it's like I could see an outline, but it'd be like see-through But kind of like almost like it you see through a bubble like you got has like that iridescence Behind it. He's like but then I would see the gray. He was trying to get in there and he shot it at least once But I'm like, why did you keep chasing it? He's like, I don't know And so it's trying to get away from him so he shoots it and Then he just started freaked out. He was like, what if this thing tries to fight back like it hasn't tried to fight back at all He's just like his mind's kind of caught up with the moment. He's like like if this thing came after me Pellet gun's gonna do nothing The history of our earth is so different from what we can imagine Joy to charity The Smithsonian and if they found out about a large skeleton somewhere was to go get it I'm gonna assume at least one person is right because if one person's right it busts the paradigm It all goes back to the fallen chair and the problem with the modern-day church They have a very truncated view of the supernatural this backdrop That's just pregnant with all kinds of meaning associated with this Mount Hermon event And this guy defects from the kingdom. That's a big deal All right, welcome back to blurry creatures if you're a dog lover we got a wild story for you a cat I don't know. It sounds like a combo of a weird creature. Then called the hell cat. We're getting it today Story comes from Oregon. Welcome to the podcast Ashley ends our it's always great to have members email one of a kind stories We haven't heard this one before so we're excited to come on this creature is in the big foot world It sounds like but we don't know what it is yet, but what are your thoughts on big foot and welcome to the podcast Thank you. I actually was talking to my sister this morning. She still lives up there and Pretty much everyone in our family Is a logger or works with logging. That's a big Part of it and so everybody was always in the woods. So I was like, I never heard a single story ever about bigfoot. It was just more of like a mascot You know, it was like the Oregon mascot kind of like a character never really thought about a whole lot Yeah, it could be I just never thought about it And now that I'm older, I don't know It's real After the pictures it's real. It's real. He's real. I thought you were gonna say everyone in my family's seen him. No, I wished A long line of lumberjacks. I think some of those loggers have to sign Paperwork that they look in the eyes. Yeah Well, and I asked my sister and she's like, but do you think any of them really would have said anything? If you didn't see it. Yeah, I'm like, yeah, that's true. Yeah. Well for all the cat lovers out there This is what we came for today is to talk about even waiting, bro Oh, I had a dog man. Yeah, big foot. But you've been waiting for this cat We had a talking cat episode very early on Ashley. That's it. That's true. Pickles the talking cat and Uncle Sy told us about oh, that's right. The black panther the black panther Louisiana, but He got a lot of your story comes from the 90s And I was your your dad had the encounter but there's a backstory and I'm gonna just kind of start where it makes sense to tell the story for you and As usual, we'll just we'll ask questions as we go and give you the floor here to to tell your story. Yeah. Yeah So my dad actually passed away in 2016 But he grew up right outside of Florence in Dune City. It's about 15 minutes away they grew up right across the street from a Boy Scout camp and I mean he ran that place barefoot my grandparents built the house. There was like not really any houses there then Maybe a couple hundred yards from the lake And so I mean he just ran barefoot. He knew that place inside and out and so when he was a Boy Scout He actually like he knew it so well They were having a competition of like who could build the best fire, you know, and they had to do the little sticks or whatever well, he was like Actually, I know where the best pitch tree is So he took off running went to the pitch tree brought it back And started this huge fire and then they're like, yeah, you're disqualified But like he knew everything about that place. He knew all the animals all that but he was not like a storyteller he was very I'm gonna find the natural Exclamation he did not see a lot of things. He was not wanting to be like, oh I see supernatural stuff all the time Never did and so in high school He actually thought he was going to vietnam war and so he did start partying then actually he took a Cycling trip right after graduation because I guess I was looking it up and I guess they Didn't have to go until they turned 19 in the draft And so he graduated in 72 So he would have been Paffed into head to the draft shortly. So he was gonna take he's got his 10 speed or 18 speeds. I don't know And so he actually rode his bike from florins to crater lake And then down to southern california. And so he would camp along As I asked him, I'm like, what did where did what did you eat? He's like, oh, I packed some food Where did you sleep? I don't just send the bushes on the side of the road. I'm like, awesome. Okay, you're crazy So while he was it was maybe people he met down in southern california He went back down maybe like 76 77 And he was out on a dry lake bed and I feel like this this ties into it. So bear with me Because I feel like this is kind of a catalyst of Why he did start seeing things possibly I don't know that he ever tied the two together So he was at a dry lake bed and there was a bonfire with some people he had met from his bicycling trip and some lady got mad at him and He said that she put a hex on him And I was like, well, what does that mean? He was like I don't know what she said. She just said that she put a hex on me. He's like, I got really creeped out. So I I took off I was going back to my car Well, he started walking and something hit him Hard from behind knocked him flat on his face and held him down And while he's being held down, he was like, I didn't hear anything. I didn't hear gravel. I didn't like it was just completely silent and when he stood when it finally left he jumped up and he was like What the heck but there's nobody around nobody and so He still didn't see a whole lot but after that point he there is definitely like some disturbances that he was having so Jump ahead Dude, I'm thinking it was 95 96 Because he actually told the story at my sixth grade camp My outdoors camp we went to john day. And so I knew I had to have been before that time At my grandparents house and I know I'd sent you guys some pictures my grandparents had built this big red barn and They had converted it to a wood shop and so My dad huge artist And so he would do woodworking. He'd make frames and these 3d geometric shape Things but they would all have like wood frames and he Was out there working until like two o'clock in the morning and that was Yeah, he's like me a little bit of ADHD. I think It was like misty like, um, I don't know if you've ever been on the Oregon coast Yeah, oh, yeah So when it's like Mist it's just like wet hangs in the air. Yeah, and it's just like kind of foggy but not really and so he was a big sliding door of the barn and he opened it up and he's having a smoke and he sitting there and He saw something to scurry up from across from the pasture Up into the salmon berry bushes, which was along the fence in the road And he was like, what the heck was that because it just had a weird gate, but he couldn't it was too dark He just couldn't quite make it out So he thought it was the raccoons Because they they've been having raccoon problems So he grabbed he had we did not grow up with guns or Like my grandparents would hunt but on my dad's side no guns And so he had a you know, like one of those high powered pellet gun pistols And so he had that so he grabbed that And he walked over to the salmon berry bushes and he could hear things moving But he was he's like looking and he just he can't find anything He's just like I see brush moving. I see things moving, but I can't I can't see anything substantial But he's starting to get freaked out and so then he Here's something either jump because it was like barbed wire like three strands barbed wire with berries growing through But you didn't know if it jumped kind of through the bushes or over But it something, you know You tell a jump And so he runs around it was like in the road he runs around And he's looking Is the center of the road and there's this creature and he's like I've never seen anything like it at all and Said it was about three to three and a half feet tall It was standing upright on two back legs, but it was hunched over Almost like a hunchback like he was like I remember the hunchback a Notre Dame like that like it was like almost Like that which made I watched an episode the other day and somebody said something about it's something not having a neck And I was like, oh, I bet you that's why it would make it look hunchback no clothing no fur And he said it was kind of like a gray. He thought it would be like if he were to actually like Touch it it would be like salamander skin like clammy He's like, I don't know if that was like, you know, because it was so misty out No tail He said it was kind of scrawny looking and he couldn't make out had round head But he couldn't make out any facial features Maybe that was because of the light and where the light post like the lamp was But he said it was like shadows over where eyes would be like there was impressions and you could just see a shadow So So So So So So You
