Hi all, got another preview for a Bigfoot Society members only episode today, and this one is a wild one. The full episode is about just under 45 minutes long, but it is one of the best encounters I've heard from a hunter that was able to see details through a scope for 25 seconds that just absolutely changed the game. So you'll hear a little bit about it in the preview that is coming next, But if you want to hear the whole thing, feel free to become a supporting Bigfoot Society member by going to BigfootSocietyPodcast.com and clicking on the members login area. Or you can click the join button for those of you who are over on YouTube. Again, thank you so much for listening to the podcast and enjoy this preview. Always heard these screams. Always heard these screams. Sound like a woman being beat to death. is, I mean, we've heard that literally. Our whole, you know, our family told that story forever. We always, when we killed the hogs in the spring, I mean, in the fall, dump the guts of stuff down in a pile down at the edge of the woods. I'll never question why we did it. We just did it. That was just a thing. Well, we actually saw a creature. I'm going to say Bigfoot. I know there's no other way to say it. step into the hog pen one time, pick up a piglet, because that was all that was left. The sow couldn't be picked up. She was 800 pounds easy. He picked up a piglet with one hand, stepped over the fence, and walked away. Scared me so much I couldn't see straight, and I was with three of my cousins. When it happened, one of them I can call right now and get on the phone. He'll tell you about it. and then so we grew up hearing that believing it we tried to find tracks and things we never found things we started gifting we started leaving out toys and balls and things like that and they all disappeared uh the only thing we've ever found is what you would consider regifting maybe was a couple of feathers it stood up and screamed and all of a sudden I turned to my right and my cousins and everybody were like Bob watch out and I looked and there was two other ones that weren't as big like a mom and a baby like a smaller one like a young one and he screamed we ran to the truck and took off. Oh, wow. My goodness. So how long do you think you had eyes on him for? About 20 minutes. 20 minutes. Holy mackerel. Because I was scared. I thought it was going to attack me. I was walking backwards slowly at first. And then my cousin's like, run. So we ran. We didn't know what to do. Okay. So you were able to look at them for 20 minutes. There it sounds like there a bigger one one that was a lot smaller and then one that was more female Is that correct yeah they were about like i say about 75 yards okay so that approximately the length of three tennis courts for people listening yeah just smaller than a football field gosh the the bigger one how tall would you uh say he probably was oh he was at least 10 foot tall he was huge yeah that's what scared us the big it's because it was so big we never seen anything at first I thought it was a bear because we got a lot of bear you like a bear stood up yeah what were the what was the thing that tipped you off that it wasn't a bear then how big it was and what it didn't look like a bear at first we thought it was a bear because of how hairy it was because we were at a distance Okay. Were you able to see any details about the face of any of them? Yeah, it looked more human than a bear. That's why we were shocked. Because we knew what bears looked like. Sure. What specific details looked more human-like on the face? It looked like its nose, its eyes. and everything. Gotcha. And then, yeah, you could see his hands. He hit his hand when he stood up and everything. You could see his hands look more human than like a paw or anything like that. Okay. How was the female and the young one interacting? Do you remember anything about that? they were just standing there we weren't there that long right you said you were there you were able to see them for 20 minutes correct yeah they just stood off to their like i said they were off to the side like i said we were away we were up on one hill and they were up by the creek down okay um how tall would you say the little one was? I'd say probably about, well, I'm 5'9 and it was shorter than me. So probably about four something. Okay. And the female? The small. His mom picked it up. oh okay so the mom actually she picked up the the forefoot okay gotcha how did uh did it did it get on its back or did it was it carrying in its arms or what would you say i don't know we took off running as soon as like everything happened real fast like after sure we sat there for 20 minutes we were like doing like a stare down at first because we just couldn believe what we seen and we just froze pretty much absolutely stared and then just started backing up because we had to go like back up a hill we weren't like on flat ground we were on like a hilly area at the time were there any weird smells or anything in the area when you were sitting there um no because we were in the middle of a mushroom patch mostly we could smell what's mushrooms I mean nature you could smell dirt you know what you smell nature's gotcha did they seem to be making any noise or communicating to each other at all yeah he like made noise to her. Can you describe what that was like? No, it was a long time ago. Okay. It was more like a scream like a like to get her attention like kind of thing. Like it was just like a weird because we come up over a hill and come down and then we just seen it. and then we got out of there have you seen any drawings or or anything over the years that look like what you saw that day yeah that's why i believed in it because the first time i seen a drawing i was like we seen one of them and people always thought i was crazy so i was like oh Believe what you want. I know what's true. I had witnessed this. I put the rifle on. I'm shooting a 308 with a 6x24x50 scope on it. I can tell you anything you want to know about the creature. I couldn't pull the trigger. It looked too much like a person. Not exactly. You know what I mean. It wasn't a bear. I know that. I've seen bear. We have black bear here. I just couldn't do it. That's wild. Yeah, so how far away were you estimating? 162 and a half yards with a range finder. 162 yards, okay. So, but I mean, you could see with that, you could see extreme detail. I shoot consistently at 1,200 yards. Okay. That tells you the power of my scope. How tall would you estimate that it was? At least, at least nine foot. And the reason I'm saying that is we have spindly pines in the south. There's no branches that come off of them until they get to probably about 20 feet. You know what I'm saying? I don't know if you're really accustomed to kind of what I call whip pines. They blow over all the time. But there no real reference point because where we were it a planted field But just by looking at it versus the trees around it it got to be that tall we got after after it was all over i got down and called ben and we walked over there and we looked at the we looked for tracks everything i did not find tracks and it's a dry it was a very very dry field you have to understand i mean okay that's why we were hunting it because we could see deer prints i can track i've done it all my life i'm 56 years old and hunted for almost 50 years you know and uh to be honest with you last time i ever took a rifle into the woods i started i switched to bow hunting after that only take one deer a now. Okay. Oh my goodness. So it affected just something, something strong. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. I knew right then that wasn't an animal. I mean, I knew it's an animal and it's a cryptid, blah, blah, blah. If you go back and look at Meldrum's theories of the, you know, displacement versus the Australopithecus, I don't know, Gigantopithecus versus Australopithecus versus, what is it, Homo heidelbergensis. It all makes sense to me now. I just ain't shooting one, period, end of the story. Yeah, absolutely. Man, I got questions for you. What was the year again on this, the approximate year? 1997. Okay, thank you. So how long did you have eyes on it through the scope, do you think? Not more than, not less than 25 seconds. 25 seconds. It was a long time. I could have put one through it high. Oh, sure. Yeah. Especially with that kind of, you know, scope and being able to look at it. Um, what kind of activity were you watching it do during the 25 seconds? It was the weirdest thing was, and this is not a, this is what really blew my mind. It was just the most weird thing to me is it, when it walked out, it walked out of the woods and it crossed, It literally cut the corner of the field, stopped, picked up something, walked over to the edge of the woods, pulled up a small tree, and walked on. I'm not joking. It literally pulled up a small tree. It wasn't like a green tree. It was like a tall, thin tree. Very few branches. Okay. So then it keeps on walking and it's holding this small tree. Yeah, and it disappears into the woods because literally once it gets back into the woods, it's all cross. When they forest it, they cross plant. So it makes it, you've got a row one way, then there's a space, and then there's a row in the middle, and there's a space. So you technically make the, you're looking into a forest again. once they replant clear-cut land. So you can't really see it. You can see pieces moving, but I lost it quickly. Not going to lie about it. Right, right, right, right. Absolutely. What color was it? Red-brown. More red than brown, but red-brown. Gotcha.
