1:00You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you firsthand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible, from backwards trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it, so settle in, because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever, so stay with us. All right, Bigfoot Society, you've got the privilege of talking to Brad today. Brad is a mountain man living off grid in the Smoky Mountains down there in Tennessee. Welcome to the show, Brad. How are you doing today, sir? I'm doing great. Appreciate the opportunity to share my experiences. Absolutely. I want to point out a few things about Brad's setup, which is probably the coolest setup a guest has ever had. Brad is literally hanging out outside by the fire, so if you

2:04might see some smoke come across Brad's green, that's just part of the ambiance. It hats off to him. I guess it's a little bit chilly where you're at today, right, Brad? Yeah, it's about 35 degrees right now. Yeah, right, right. Out there, what you're doing off grid, you're definitely, you're used to it. What a place to do that to down the Smoky's beautiful area, but, you know, Brad, I know a bit about what you've experienced over the years, and it sounds like your story goes way back to different places. So I would say, you know, feel free to take us back to when you first started having experiences with what you found out to be bigfoot. Okay, well, like I said, I'm used to the cold weather because I born and raised in northern Utah in the Rocky Mountains. And I spent my childhood growing up in a little town called

3:07Huntsville that nobody knew about back then, but 2002 Winter Olympics came through there and that changed everything. Everyone knows about it now, but part of why I'm in Tennessee currently. But when I was a child, I had a friend that lived, we'll say, in the northeast corner of the Huntsville Valley area there. And me and him and two other friends of ours, those Richard Sean and Jeff, I believe, was if he didn't hang out with us much. So I'm a little blurry on his name, but a first year's name is Jeff. But anyways, me and Richard Sean and Jeff was out there. And behind Richard's house, there was a hill that just went up into the mountains, you know, that, well, there was a field behind his house first

4:08and forced his stuff and then just went up into the foothills and on up into the mountains from there. And we decided that we were going to hike up to this point that we could see from his backyard up there, which from his backyard, we thought that was the top of the mountain. We found out later it was just a top of a hill, but we were little kids. And so anyway, we packed our lunches and we headed off, we took off on up the mountain where he was going to make our climb to the summit. And on the way up there, I'm not sure what initially caught our attention about these trees on the hillside because the whole hillside is pretty, at this time of the year, it was summertime. This would have been sometime around 1776. Fourth of July celebration was going on that year. And we, so the grant, the whole hillside is

5:16kind of a yellow color with kind of a gray, green of sagebrush modeled in with it with an occasional juniper tree. And most of the junipers that grew on those hillsides were you know, 10 to 15 feet tall. And any sudden caught our attention about these three trees that were up there. And we noticed them. And I pointed out that yeah, I look there in a perfect triangle the way they're positioned. Yeah, just silly stuff kids talk about. Anyway, we continue climbing up and as we kept going up the mountain, some about those trees kept catching my tail. I wasn't focused on them, but something just kept drawing my attention over that way. And I started noticing that God, those trees seem to be in really weird position compared to the way they looked before because you know, sure, my angle on the mountain had changed, but but it just didn't seem right the position of those trees anymore. But anyway, we just continued

6:21on up and got to the summit that we found out was just a little foothill basically. You know, in the Rocky Mountains, things get pretty, pretty high up up there. And anyway, so we decided, well, we've made it here. We stopped out and we was eating our lunch. Well, while I was eating, while I was eating our lunch, something caught my attention again. I look back over there, just now to the left of me. And I noticed that there's only two trees over there. And I think am I crazy? I know there were three trees. There's only two trees on that hillside. And so I turned to my friends and asked them, how many trees did we see on that hillside? And they're all like, there was three, where did the third tree go? And so all of a sudden, there's four kids that are hair on the back of our neck stood up and we're like, when did trees start walking away? Because there's, you know, only two trees there now. And now, like I say,

7:27these trees are between 10 to 15 feet tall most of them. So whatever it was, there was there that walked away with something that looked like it, 10 to 15 foot tall, kind of conical shaped, like a Juniper tree grows out in the open sun like that. And we, at that point, decided it was time to head back home. And we took off running down that hillside. And we got down to the bottom and back into the field with the horses and stuff. And we decided, okay, we're safe. You know, we slowed down. We was just walking across the field at that time. The horses didn't feel, they were used to us being back there all the time. They weren't reacting to us whatsoever. We was about halfway across that field. And those horses went crazy. Like, I've never seen them act like that. And they were, they ran out towards,

8:32the way the field was, it's kind of a big, huge square field in their house sat in the front right corner of the field. And so part of the field had road frontage on it. And they ran all the way up to that roadside of the fence and was just back and forth, back and forth, like they were looking for a way to get out past that, out of that pasture. You know, just completely irrational behavior, never seen them behave like that before that. And so we all just like, we need to get inside. So we ran inside the house and, you know, I remember his mom yelled at us, what you kids settled down, whatever you up to, you know, you'd go settle down. So we went and hid in his room until it was time to go home. Well, that next morning, Richard called me and he said, did it come to your house? And I said, what? And he said, did it come to your house?

9:36Sorry, I'm a little scared up because rest in peace, Richard's not with us anymore. And I said, no, it didn't come, it didn't come to my house. What are you talking about? You know, and he says, well, last night, so I'm pounded on my bedroom and all. And he says, and I looked and I can see its head looking through the window. Now, Richard's bedroom, they had kind of one of those, it was a one story home, but it had those high up windows that only folded out. So they weren't down the normal, I level, you know, they were like along the ceiling line of that room. And so for something to be looking in through that window from outside, it had to be 10 11 feet tall, which would match with the size of what we assumed was a tree up on the hillside. But he says, yeah, it looked in the

10:37window and just stood there for a minute and then he heard a low growl, like just a rumbling growl and then it walked away. And we decided that that was our warning not to go back up on that hillside again and we never did. We, you know, just okay, we get the message, we won't mess with your area and you don't come scarce in the middle of the night, no more. So we didn't really tell anyone about that because a lot, you know, we wondered if we'd get in trouble for going hiking up the hill like that because I don't think we really told his mom what we were up to. We was just, you know, kids off adventuring. But, uh, so we never really talked about it or anything after that. But then, use later, I started bohunting. And this is what attracted me or got my attention to your podcast is you were interviewing, I can't remember his name, but some guy there in Ogden area

11:43and he was talking about Curtis Creek. And that's the area where I used to go bohunting. And I started going up there bohunting and first year I was up there, I was with the group of guys and we would, we'd gone in further back in than he was talking about. We was arms basins about halfway to get to where we were going. We were back in by a place where that everyone calls the island. And it's just the way the road goes around a certain height mountain. It kind of creates an island to the way the road goes around it. So I could call it that. But, uh, I used to set my tree stand up on the top of that mountain and put bohunting up there. I'll top of that mountain to the center of the island. But anyway, we were off on the east side of the island just that year. And I heard something in the middle

12:48of the night come through camp. And it was obviously not a movie serial, you know, it wasn't, it was bipedal. You know, you can tell when something's walking on two feet. It just, they, it sounds different. And I was in, in a tent. And so I just kind of laid there and was real quiet and listened to whatever walk through and it walked on through and kept going. We didn't stop mess with anything and just walked through camp, whatever it was. But I could tell it was big. I could tell it was bipedal. And I laid there and wondered, I wonder if that's that thing we saw when I was a kid, you know. Well, that was all happened that year. The next year up there, I was with the same guys in the same area. And I didn't hear anything but got up the one morning and they're all like, did you hear that last night? What? Oh, there was some kind of something out there in the forest making all kinds of noise.

13:50Busting branches and tearing things up. And I was like, oh, I slept right through. It didn't hear nothing here. Well, that night I did here. And I think it might have been because I was keeping an air out, you know, sleeping lighter than normal. I don't know. But something ran through the forest above where we were at. And now I've hiked up into that area. And you could barely wiggle your way through it. It's so thick. It's just thick, thick. Conifer forest, just just hard to get through. I'm something went through there like it was running through the park. And it, I mean, branches and just the sound was just unbelievable how much commotion it made. As it just ripped its way through the forest, whatever it was. And you know, every one of us came

14:51out of our tents and I was in a trailer actually that year and come out of our tents and trailers going, what is going on? And we didn't hear anything else. So we all just kind of settled down right back a bit. Well, the following year up there, Bo Hunt and I didn't have any experiences, but the year after that was up there and I got up by myself. And I was on the other side of the island. So this would be the west side of that area. And I pulled into a little spot right past place they call red ponds. And I was sleeping in my truck. No camper or nothing. Just sleeping in the back of the truck. I got a big crew cab. And so I'm hit the side of my truck.

15:51And I mean, it rocked that truck. It woke me up from a dead sleep. And I looking around, trying to figure out what's going on, the shining flashlight. Never saw nothing. No explanation for what did hit the truck, what happened. And so I was awake from that point until some light started coming up. And I got up to hike up to my tree stand to do some bomen before this one came up. And I'd hiked up there to that thing. I don't know how many times. But I got about halfway up there. And I got struck with a sense of fear and unease and just discomfort that I can't explain. Because I didn't hear nothing. I didn't see nothing. And I'm used to being out. I mean, I'm out here in the woods by myself for days on end. And I'm

16:55used to that. But something spooked me so bad that I turned around and went back. Got in my truck and decided I was done hunting that season. And I didn't hunt that season. So I decided I was going to get over that spooking and took my wife up there camping the next year about three weeks before the boat started. And we went over. There was all kinds of people up there riding ATVs and campers and all kinds of just activity going on just up and down the roads. And so we had gone over to a spot that was kind of back off away from all the roads. And there was just another spot that's kind of southeast through that island area there. And set up camp there. We was having a nice time. Well, I had to job interview. We were spending a whole week up there. I had a job interview on Hill Air Force Base. I had to run down there to go interview.

17:57So I went down there and left my life up there. And I wasn't that worried about it because there was all those people who had been at all the whole time to get up there. Well, I got done and was coming back in that afternoon. And there's nobody. There's nobody in any of the camp spots, all the no ATVs motorcycles coming up the down road. I mean, everyone had just gone home. And this was a Monday. You know, so it was Monday morning that I had gone down to do the interview. And so the further I get back in there because you know, it's about eight miles back in there from where you turn off the pavement to get all the way back in to where we was at. And the you know, the further I got back in there without seeing any other campers and stuff, the more I start worrying about my wife. And I was happy when I got there to find her okay and stuff. But just nobody up there at all, not even ATV riders and stuff. That was I'd never seen it like that.

19:01Even both always somebody up there riding. But anyway, so I was happy to find her okay and we settled in for the night. And we're sitting around campfire and just doing our thing. All of a sudden from I mean, it couldn't have been 100 yards away just up on top of the hill that we was right there next to. Came a howl stream house. I don't know what to call it. It was just a huge, just stretching howling. I mean, just deep thunders, like a lion and a gorilla and an elephant all going off at the same time or so. I mean, just undescribable. But it was obviously

20:04a displeasure with us being there was the immediate message I got from the sound of it. I was a territorial get out of my house kind of just howl just angry howl. And my wife of course looks over at me. I was like, what's that? I'm thinking, okay, what do I get to tell her this is without terrifying her? Because at that point I was convinced that that's a big foot. But I can't tell my wife that, right? So I'm trying to say, well, maybe it was a moose or a elk or something that got damaged to its throat or trying to come up with some crazy explanation. I have my wife freak out in the middle of the forest or the middle of the night. And anyway, she wasn't buying my crap. She said, I don't know what it was, but I'm going to bet. And I tried to pretend like I wasn't spooked because I was really trying not to get her scared. And so I sat out there by the fire for

21:12about 15 minutes and the longer I sat there, the more spooked I got because I was here in movement like it was slowly making its way closer and closer and closer through the trees towards me. And so finally I decided, okay, I'm going to quit pretending to be a tough guy and I'm going in the trailer. So I went in and told her, yeah, I think whatever it was went away and we managed to settle down and go sleep that night. But we got up and left that next morning. We didn't stay, we was going to stay like three or four more days than that. And we went out and went on. And that's the last time I ever went up to that area and camped or hunted or anything. And then we moved to Tennessee and so that brings me to the next phase of my story because the land we bought is completely undeveloped off grid. I mean, I had to

22:15first thing I had to do was create the road to get in here to even start clearing an area to start building anything. You know, everything you see behind me, I've milled out of my own forest and hand nailed together myself. But the beginning of that process coming up in here, a little road I'd cut in. So I'd been up here working all day, gone home one night, and had me a little excavator up here as clearing out a spot to get an RV into. I come up next morning and I had where I had to park at that point because I hadn't graveled the whole road and it was wintertime. So the road would get real mucky. So I couldn't drive the truck all the way up in. So I'd have to park the truck down at what I called the turn around spot at that time and then I carried two cans of diesel fuel up the mountain to get to the excavator and get back to work. I got up to where the excavator was and there was a tree

23:26sampling with a big, you know, 24-tall sampling. It had been bent over across the road and the top of it was tied into a root ball and stuff in a way to where I literally had to get a saw and cut it to get it loose. It was like it was just twisted into there with such force that it walked in and I couldn't, I had to cut it to get it to come out. Now, no other tree around that had fallen that could have possibly pushed it over and made it do that, no explanation, whatever. I immediately took it as a sign that something was telling me that it didn't want me here. So I spent a couple days wandering around the forest and

24:26and communing with the forest and communing with God. So just explaining my intention and saying prayers and talking to the forest and anything that maybe listening to let them know my intentions here. Tyler Reddick here from 2311 Racing. Victory Lane? Yeah, it's even better with Chumba by my side. Race to ChumbaCasino.com. Let's Chumba. Don't purchase necessary. BTW Group, Void We're Prohibited by Law, CTNCs, 21 Plus, sponsored by Chumba Casino. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 billion is insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered.

25:32It's actually, I think, somewhere north probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. It's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7-365. Wow, Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you. Did I plan on being part of the forest? I'm not here to take it away from anybody, you know? And since doing that, I haven't had anything happen that seemed to be aggressive, which I'm very grateful for. But I do get notices, I guess, the best way to put it.

26:34They're not aggressive. They're not, you know, not in screaming or howling at me in the night, nothing like that. But just noises in the forest that don't coincide with the sounds that I normally hear. I'm sure during this podcast you've heard the piloted woodpeckers going off in the background and the little rins and the forest has got its own music that it makes all day long. But I'm so into and as familiar with it that anything that's outside of the norm catches my attention. And I hear knocks. There's trees that there's a ridge line here that I find trees that are all broken in the same direction showing a path guiding you right up the path. If you watch for them and follow them, they're all there. And there are trees that are broken. You know, there's trees

27:35all around them. No other reason why they know whether a tree's broken just one tree right there and snapped in a way that is, you know, obviously it's been grabbed up high and snapped over. You know, the wind doesn't just snap the top of a tree off like they've been the top of a tree like that and not cause chaos to the trees around at the same time. And so I got that going on all the time here. But back up on the back 40 of the property. I've only been up there a few times but we found an old cabin up in there. It's an old hunting cabin somebody built and abandoned. And it's hard to get to because well, first off, it's got trees that have fallen over on top of it. And then all the way around it, the whole forest, there's trees that are fallen. And they're fallen

28:40just in a way to where they create a barrier. It's not like they all got blown by the wind and fell over one direction. They're they're like lattice work and they're not chopped down. They're they're pushed over if they're, you know, rootball still attached for tree falling over. And both times I've been up there and fighting my way through to even get to that cabin. I've just got the direct impression that something did that intentionally. It doesn't want anyone up there at that cabin. I mean, it's the only conclusion I can come to. You know, if I get see because I know the way the winds come into this mountain, the way they blow, they come from one direction. They don't blow back from the other direction hard enough to blow a tree over because they'd have to come over the mountain and then back down to do that. And so just the way those trees are fallen, it's like,

29:42okay, now these aren't these aren't fallen because of wind. These something has made these trees fall over. So I just kind of leave that area alone up there. I figure I don't I don't need to go up there for anything anyway. And it's hard to get up in there. And I just get the impression of themselves. Somebody uses that and doesn't want me up there messing around. You know, eventually, I'll probably build me a road up there enough to clear out some of that stuff out of the cabin. It's got all kinds of usable stuff in it still. It's just hard to even get to. And I can't imagine trying to haul stuff out of there by hand. I'd have to build a road there to even do anything about it. But just kind of a crazy spot up there that I can only I can only assume it's the same creatures that have been making the other signs around here and all that just and you can call me crazy,

30:45but I believe it's bigfoot. I don't think you're crazy at all. That sounds like the potential for a very active area. You said, is it just you there? Your wife is there as well. Me and my wife and her cat. Okay, cool. Does the cat ever react to anything in a weird way? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. There's there's times when the cat he wants to be out and underfoot all the time he wants to be hanging out with me when I'm out doing things. His favorite thing to do is wander through the forest with me and especially if if the mom is coming with us then he's really happy. But he gets times where he doesn't want to be outside unless I'm outside and he's usually quite independent want now you know monster and all night long. He's living his best life up here.

31:52But he does. He definitely has times where he just he wants to be inside and he wants to be close to daddy and he doesn't want he wants somebody to make him feel safe. And I I noticed the behavior. You know, I guess I just always assumed he had to run in with a coyote or possum or what a raccoon. You know, because we have the whole camp but up here we got bears. We got, you know, we got it all. I've had turf wars with the bears. Let them know that no, they can't scare me out of here and learn and speak their languages, you know, marking my territory. But they finally quit leaving us alone. They decided I'm more danger than I'm worth. But we get all kinds of critters here. I mean, they're just it's it's we're out in the woods. And so definitely a lot of activity for wildlife just in general. But like I say, I do know there's

32:58there's things I hear in the forest that don't account I they don't account for normal sounds. There unusual activity has your wife ever experienced anything when she's been I don't know if she goes on walks out in the woods as well or she doesn't go out on her own. She's stayed she's she's pretty dependent on me as far as Felix safe and secure up here. She stays in the trailer a lot of time. Of course, you know, she has business that she runs out of Bristol. So she goes there and does not allow too. So she's not as adventurous and outdoorsy as I am. But she's I think her only real experience has been the camping experience in Utah and then the things that I've pointed out

34:01to her because I've shown her the signs that I've noticed around here. She's like, oh, wow. Yeah, okay. I see what you mean. Yeah, that that doesn't make sense. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So you're seeing a lot of trees that are affected. Have you ever had any seen anything that looks like footprints around your cabin? Well, footprints would be tough around here. I mean, I've got ground that I've cleared that I watch for stuff like that. But the only thing I've ever seen is is just bear tracks and you know, other smaller critters. But the forest around here is just covered with leaf bed. So and anywhere that those leafs are there, it's because there's a rock sticking up through it. And so there's not really any bare soil. Now, having said that, I've seen a lot of places where

35:08something has slid in the leaf bed that to me looks like it would have to be either a bear fell down and slid a little ways or something with a really big foot stepped and slid a little ways. But it's a big slide, you know, and if you've ever hiked around in area like this, you know what I'm talking about when you step on when you're going up a hill and step on in the leaf slide under your foot that it makes a little pile of leaves with a skid above it that makes it obvious something slid there. And you know, the size of a skid like that that my foot would make was only half the size of these that I've seen it. And I wear size 13. So so from with big feet, it looks like to me, has gone up a few of these slopes and slid in areas getting up to the next spot.

36:12And that's the only thing I could I could test you know, unless unless a bear like say it would take like a bear bouncing off his butt coming down there to make some similar size skid like that. Yeah. So once again, you know, no real tangible evidence, you know, and things that things that I have seen it's you know, you either understand and believe or you come up with some reason not to I guess. But I know what I've heard, you know, in that sound we heard in Utah, there's one of the big foot shows that was on TV. I don't remember which one, but they were up that same area that they was coming up from the other side up in Logan, Utah, but those canyons, if you follow them up, they come to the same point up there at Lost Creek area. But they was doing a show up there and they were out doing their nighttime investigation and and I heard that how on their show and

37:16immediately recognized it and they heard it too and they they were like, oh, wide eyed, but yeah, I've heard that how in real life and on television and immediately immediately recognized it. It's unmistakably the same, the same how a really interesting story how things have followed you since that early age and now and it sounds like you're dealing with it pretty regularly on this property. Yeah, well, I get the impression that they accepted my, you know, my explanation is to why I'm here and what I'm doing and they've accepted me as part of the forest. You know, even the animals, the way the animals act, there's birds that come check on me every day. If I'm not out doing my thing by seven o'clock in the morning, there's birds outside the trailer, chirping and making a commotion until I come out and they know

38:20that everything's everything's back to normal. The noisy guys back at his game. But the animals that they've accepted me, the forest is, I feel like it's embraced us here and and beyond that, I feel like the Sasquatch presence is also accepted that we're just part of the forest. We're not we're not a problem, so to speak, you know. Uh-huh. And that's kind of the energy I get even when I when I out in the forest, except when I was back up in that back corner of the property, that's the only place I've been out here since that initial encounter here that I felt a little uneasy about being there. And I have to wonder if one of them wasn't close by saying, hey, you know, you're kind of getting in our area, because I think they have that ability to, whether it's the what do they call it, the infrasound or the ultrasound or the deep rumbling,

39:27you know, whatever. I'm not a wise man. I don't know. But I think it has something to do with that by experience when I was bow hunting up in Utah and what I've experienced up there because just just unexplained uneasiness, you know, which isn't natural for me. Absolutely. Has anything else happened on that property that was out of the ordinary, but maybe not related to Sasquatch in your mind? Well, I have to wonder if there isn't some kind of either Native American or possibly civil warrior trauma here that can't really say that, you know, any spirits or ghosts or anything like that of manifested or anything, but just sometimes at night when I'm sitting outside listening to the

40:33forest, I hear what sounds almost like, I don't know if it's male or female, but just like a soft sigh like a, and I, every time I hear it, I always look around and listen and wonder, how did I? I hear somebody sigh, but I never do any here, hear any follow-up or anything, but I do hear that probably once every two or three months. I'd spent a lot of time sitting out at night just enjoying the sounds of the forest, watching the bats flying through the moonlight. Just an outdoors guy, I didn't enjoy it being out here by myself. Most people think I'm crazy, but I mean, it sounds great to me. It sounds like a great idea. I think more people are trying to do it,

41:33to be honest. I'm not going to pull anybody's leg. It's a hard lifestyle to take on. You know, you got to be willing to take on whatever comes your way, but it's definitely rewarding and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I feel like I'm the richest guy in the world even though I haven't got any money in the bank. At this point, Brad and I lost connection, possibly due to the off-grid setup that Brad was utilizing, but we were able to have a great conversation nonetheless. Thank you to Brad for figuring out how to do what he was able to do with his off-grid lifestyle and coming on the podcast today to share what he's experiencing down there in Tennessee. Have you ever heard all the accounts of Bigfoot activity around Oak Ridge Oregon and you think to yourself, man, I would love to get out in those woods and experience it for myself.

42:38Well, guess what? This year, you can. If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because it's pretty cool. Sasquatch Summary Fest is coming up July 10th through the 11th, 2026. It's going to be even better than the previous years. Reason number one, I'll be one of the speakers. It's going to be wild. I'll probably, I'll say this, there may be stuff you haven't heard anywhere else because let's just say sometimes it's, well, you just got to be there. We'll leave it that.

You're not going to want to

44:45miss it. And I'll see you there. Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a national park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI, a federal agency, or working intelligence, and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense, if you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field or a trucker with government contracts, and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence, you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat,

45:47and you saw something that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or anything with clearance, and you've seen with the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you. Even if it's anonymous, you can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail.com. The world needs to hear what you've been forced to carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story. We've got the mic. See you in the woods. Thank you for listening to this episode of The Bigfoot Society podcast.
