If you'd like to talk about your own big Foot encounter, or if you're looking for help from a big Foot investigator in your area, email me at Bigfoot Crossroads at gmail dot com. No Sasquatch were harmed in the recording of this podcast. I'm joined by Blake. Blake's story was featured on the television series These Woods Are Haunted, But after talking to them, there seems to be a lot more than just Bigfoot. When did all this get started?
For you? It was about I think about six years ago. My parents they bought this this new house or whatever, um, and I lived with them for a while. Uh. Nothing really showed up for a while, you know, and it just suddenly one day, or I guess I should say one night rather, I started hearing these things out in the woods. Uh. And and it didn't really sound like anything I'd ever heard before. I never really got too much into the big Foot or anything like that before,
so it was not anything that I was familiar with. But during that night that it first happened or whatever, like, Uh, they were pretty aggressive at first, you know, I guess, I guess I wouldn't say aggressive so much as like they were trying to attack me. But they were just trying to make themselves no stuff. Yeah. Yeah, they were definitely making a lot of noise, um, breaking trees, uh, limbs, you know, just making an uproar. They're making a lot of noise.
And it was from then on out pretty much after that. Uh, anytime I would go outside, or if I would be out in the yard, I would be almost singled out. You know. If anybody else was word go outside, they wouldn't have they wouldn't have that problem, but but I did, or I would always have that problem. Now. Was it pretty consistent after it got started? Was it like every time you went outside or yeah, yeah, it was pretty it was very consistent after that. Um,
it would uh it would almost be a continuous thing. And even to this day, like it would still be like that. Wow, so the stuffs still going on there. Yes, I don't live with I don't live with them now, but when I do go over there, it's it's just like that's just although they're they're not as they're not they were. You know when I when that first started, and and I have like some theories I
guess or about it. I think that it's like a network of them that that traveled through that area because it's really close to a river, and I think that they they would travel from the river past my parents' house and go to horse stables that are nearby. I think they eat horse feed. And I think that that was just groups of them that would be going through at different times and different times, you know, there would be different groups of
them and and uh, maybe it was just the younger ones. Maybe I don't know, but I did see some that were very large out there, So I mean, it wasn't just like the younger ones. But now that you've you know, moved out everything, do your parents ever experience anything whenever you're not over there? Yes, Um, both of them, my mom and my dad both have said that, you know, they've they've seen and
heard stuff. Uh my dad hit when he goes outside a lot and works in the yard or whatever, he'll see and hear a lot of stuff. Um, they're they're they're very I'm getting they're very good at self awareness. I guess like that you're not going to get the drop on them, you
know what I mean, Like, yeah, yeah, for sure. Um, but but they, uh, they both have told me in the since I moved out that they that they'll hear, you know, a lot of stuff out there tearing up the trees, and and even during the daytime, whenever we go out there and look around and see what if we you know, whenever we'd hear a lot of noise the night before, we'd go out there and look, and we'd see trees and stuff that would have been over
and broke and just messed up a lot of the trees out there. And we never would tear them down like they built, like the structures out there, Um where they had arched the trees over and all them into the ground and stuff. They're in the same way they were they were. You know. Now, how did you end up being on the television show? How
did that come about? They reached out to me, Um, I guess they had seen some of my YouTube videos and uh, they reached out to me and uh asked me if I wanted to be on and I went to Uh, I went and done the TV show in Atlanta. Uh. They they had seen a munch of the videos that I'd put on YouTube. Yeah, the videos that I saw on the television show are pretty impressive. Um. I mean, of course, as you know, they're not proving anything,
you know, to skeptics or anything like that. But uh, a lot of people talk about them avoiding cameras and not being able to capture them on cameras. But you actually had a little bit of success. And actually since since doing the TV show thing that I had done, I've actually had a little bit more stuff that I've gotten on camera and involving you know, their faces and stuff. And but I will say that this that that they are there, there is some there, there's some intelligence there to them and
cameras. Now I'm not exactly sure how how they know that they're being recorded or or something, but I've noticed that it would appear like um like uh, I guess I would almost describe it as like a mirage, you know, like you'll have that kind of effect. I want to come on on what's your view it through? They'll almost they'll almost seem to disappear out of the video or something in instead, it'll just like a mirage is in place
instead. But kind of like whenever you see like gas fumes and stuff like that, like a gas pump or whatever. Yeah, just and and and and it'll actually be more pronounced than that. It almost it's like that. It's like some kind of a effect that I've noticed. Um. But then there's been other times where I've just been able to see you know, crystal clear what you know, faces, giant faces and stuff like that. UM. Now, we had I had the df R come out before, and
actually they come out three different times. UM. And there's one video where something they always have these cats that were pattern pile around with them, these feral cats, and the video that I had showed one like reach out of the woods and grab a hold of this cat. And I thought that the cat was, you know, it was a goner. But I let the cat back down. It put the cat back down after that. Um. But we did some measurements looking around and seeing you know from um, from
the point of view the video. We were standing out there and doing measurements, and we we figured that the arm had to be at least six feet long, wow, from from arm, you know, from the upper part of the body to the to the hand itself. Uh. So something like that would have to have a pretty big body and head too. So uh some of the things that I've seen out there that would that would be associated with an arm that big. I'd also see like giant faces and stuff like
that. I don't know where something that big would hide. Have you seen one, uh, like, while you've been out there in the woods, have you gotten a good look at one? Yeah, at least at least a couple of times, because after that, I didn't really go back out there. It scared me. But what did it look like? If you don't mind describing it? Well, it was really it was really dark, you know, dark colored. It almost looked like it was um It almost
looked like it was artificially colored. But all I could see was these dark, bad eyes, big big eyes. There were no there wasn't any color to them. It was just black. There wasn't no white to the eye or nothing. It was just solid black. And and they don't blink. It wasn't blinking at me. It was just like staring without blinking. And that's all I could really see. And I couldn't really tell where the body, where the body began and where, you know, it didn't look it
had any border to it. It was just like this big mass. And I was out there in the woods when when it had got dark, it was, like I said, it looked artificially colored like it it looked like it was. It looked like it was trying to be as black as possible so it could hide, you know, in the darkness. But I couldn't really see as far as like the body goes. It looked like it had like really long arms and short leggs, but I couldn't really see anything like
in detail. And this was whenever you were out there by yourself. Yeah, I mean that sounds super creepy, man. Yeah, it was. It was creepy. It was. It was at least twenty feet away from me when I seen it. And uh, and nice when I started, you know, realizing that I don't want to be out there whenever it would get dark, I want to make sure that I was then I was always
inside or whatever. And uh, if I carry flash lots, I noticed that I'd get, like, I bad, I'd get a lot of response from them if I'd carry a lot or if I had a gun with me or something. They didn't seem like that too much. Really, Yeah, they they were really um. They were very observant to what I was doing and what I have with me at the time and stuff I noticed on the
television series. Now I know it, you know of course it was edited and you know produced and everything like that, and you couldn't go into like everything and get it all included. But it seemed like a lot of the times they would come to the edge of the yard. But did they ever actually come out into the yard. Uh, not that I know of. They because we had a security lot and they would uh they would never cross
that threshold into the lot and none less the lots went out. There has been a few times where under mysterious circumstances, like the lot would be out and it would just be complete darkness outside. It would yeah, it would just quit working sometimes and that would just be really awkward. But or it would be you know, unusual. But when it would do that, like
I would stay inside. I wouldn't go outside at all at that. But and then they'd make these mewing sounds like it sound like a little baby cooing, um whistles, they sound like owls and and and it wouldn't sound like you know, you could tell the difference between like a natural animal sound and then these things that would sound it would sound like really exaggerated and they sell like dogs try to sound like um dogs barking. But uh, and it
just and then other things. Other times it would sound like monkeys. Do you have any theories why they're making all those different vocalizations. Do you think they're trying to like lure you out there or anything. I do think that I thought that at first, but then the more or less I started, you know, seeing what's going on, I think that I think that they I don't think they really want to interact with people too much. I think
that they get they get enjoyment out of messing with some people. Um, I think that they kind of get going in like they get what's the word, They get all in an uproar, kind of like how you would see on TV, like and know, ain't saying they're like monkeys, but how you'll see like a group of chance or something get all in an uproar and they start going crazy, worked up in a frenzy and stuff. Yeah.
Yeah, that's that's kind of what I felt like they were doing. And only in these cases when they go into a frenzy like stuff gets tore up, but they're there. They are intelligent, and in my experience with them, they're intelligence. Now I don't know some people, and you might say that they could be alien or something. And you know, and that's you know, that's a topic for something else, you know, because I've witnessed some weird stuff like that too in the time, dealing with that out there,
seeing things flying around and stuff. Yeah, on one of the videos, you kind of captured what looks like an ORB of some kind. There were oh and now now there still is quite a bit of ORB activity out there and um, some of them were big, some of them were small. And uh and and I got I got to where I started noticing like a feeling that I would have and it's almost like you know, some people say like you'll experience like a dread or something like that. Yeah, that's
kind of like how I start feeling. And I would notice that those things would show up. I would I would be able to see them infrared, but not with my my naked eye, you know. But one night I decided to put the camera in my room, and uh, and I started seeing it floating above my bed. You know. Yeah, there was two different two different times, but there was one floating above my bed when I was at work, you know, and before I got home, I noticed
it was still was just sitting there floating. Um. And that was pretty creepy. I was like, it was about the size of a basketball. Um. That was the only time that I ever noticed that that, uh well, that was the only time I took the camera back out. Do you think the orbs are connected to the Bigfoot? I do. I think there's something I know. I don't know if it's if it's technology or part part of me feels like it's not like it's something than something in nature that's
associated with them. But but there is definitely a connection there between them, and I still see, like I still have cameras, you know that I can view from there, and you know where I'm at now, and just you know what, and I'll still see those orbs all the time. I know you said that the Bigfoot stuff kind of just started all of a sudden, But did you ever notice any other weird stuff at the location before them? No, not really not. But but like I say, it could
have It could have happened or it could have been starting out. I didn't notice it, but but not that it that it first happened. It was it was the summer of twenty fifteen. UM. There had just been some kind of a tropical storm I believe come through the area and and it knocked all the power out for like, um a few days, I think, and uh, and we didn't have power for I think two knots two or three knots. But I was outside charging my falling into the truck and and
that's when I guess like I was singled out. But the neighbors, our neighbors said that they their dogs were barking and going crazy and our dogs were going crazy that um that they had They even had got their gun out and stuff. This was like three am in the morning. Um. And that's when I was outside chargers kind of charging my phone and it sounded like some kind of a frog or it sounded like a little squeak toy or something.
And I kept hearing it. And that's the very first time that I recall something being out there, because I didn't have a flashlight with me or nothing, but I was using the exterior lights on my truck to try to see out beyond where I was at, but I couldn't and I kept hearing something out there. You know, it sounded like it was big. But from then on out, like there was always this um ominous feeling like there was
something out there. Watching me. And then it was right after that that I got in the first video that I did, um where you could see that see the one in the daytime. That was the smallest one that I ever really seen, and I think that was about the only one I ever seen out in the daytime. And and it just didn't care if I've seen it or not. You know, normally they try to hide themselves, but this one I had a feeling like it was wanting me to see it.
You talked about you think that they moved through that area as they fall the river or whatever. Is there a certain like have you noticed any patterns like a certain time that they are there there or that that they leave or anything. Yeah, Um, I believe that that they the area along the highway. It's like it's a perfect spot for an animal to cross, you know, to be less, you know, to be in cover or um.
I think that during the right as the sun's going down or just past when the sun goes down, that's whenever they'll start crossing the highway and they'll they'll cross over the woods near it. We're out, my parents dead, and there's a horse stable about about a mile being beyond that and it's deep,
it's real thick woods. Um. I think that they, Uh, they supplement their diet with the horse feed and come up from the river and maybe like especially in during times of the year where there's no like crops in the fields and stuff. I think that they because I went out there, way out in the woods, and I asked the people that own the property if I could go back there whenever I did, and I found a giant nest. It looked like a giant nest, like something had been like wallering it
out. Yeah, and uh, and I knew that it had to be like that because there weren't there weren't any like plants growing inside of the circle, like normally you'd see at least some kind of vegetation, but there wasn't anything growing inside it. And uh, I found a bunch of hair, which I got the hair. I collected a bunch of real long, black, stringy hair. It looks like it come off of a horse, but it I ain't never seen a horse, you know, looked like that and
nasty looking horse. But yeah, and some of the hair was like at least ten feet off the ground. And and it looks to me like either they were going bad or they were trying to leave like a scent mark,
you know, or a cent trail along the way. But but I collected all that hair had went back out there in a little while, But there was never any hair that I and I would have been I'm able to see stuff like that pretty quickly, and I had never seen before until like the last couple of years that they started doing that, because normally they would whatever would be out there was never was never leaving any um evidence of its of its inhabitation, you know, are back there. Yeah, Now do you
hunt? Yeah? So do you see any like deer sign or other animals sign back in those woods or anything? No, not really. Uh, there used to be deer. But um, I'm assuming that these things kind of ruin that for him to run them off. But uh um. And in late afternoons or right when you know about about at this time now it's it's getting dark right about now here, and that's about the time where all
the animals are just gone, like you won't hear anything out there. And then and then you'll start if you if I were to look at my cameras now, I'll start noticing these long shadows showing up in the cameras out there in the woods, and it's like creeping in, you know whatever, and that's almost like that's there. That's what usually precludes them. Whenever they're coming in. It's like these massive shadows will start showing up and then you'll start
you won't hear any more uni natural animal off. You'll just hear these strange like mimics of animals, like owls and stuff. You talked about the cats, uh, the feral cats piling around with them, So I and these cats just falling around out there, don't They don't mess with the cats. I know, you've got the one video of one reaching out and grabbing that cat. I mean you can see the cat, you know, way off the ground. It's it's pretty crazy. But they don't mess with the cats
really, or are they friends? What do you think that's about? Ain't then? I think I think that's their pets. That's just you know, my take on it. But they they have these certain cats and now Farrell cats, like we always tried to catch them and release them somewhere else because if we were to take them to the pound, you know, they're gonna euthanize them. So I felt like they would send a better chance somewhere else.
But the weird thing about these cats, and I've never known that noticed that anywhere else, is they will not go in a cat trap, absolutely will not go into it. And I started noticing that it was just then the cats that would follow them, and it almost seems like they were trained or instructed in some way not to go on the trap. Uh. Typically you made a cat trap, you know, with any kind of food, you're gonna catch a cat. Yeah, and these right here they would not
even the food, wouldn't even attempt them to go on there. And that was strange. H But then like I'd start noticing that if and I not to get the I mess with these things a lot like using the microphone on the cameras, you know, like making certain little sounds and you can get them and get them really mad, you know, just whistling or something.
And and then I noticed that if I would make a noise or something and instead of them coming to investigate it, suddenly a cat would come and investigate the sound really and then go right back to where they were supposed to be.
A. Wow, that's that's interesting. And and I know that I know that they were, you know, certain parts, because there would be a massive shadow in the woods where there's not supposed to be one, and I know that that's where where that they were most likely at, and they they huddle up together and these these parts in the woods, um, and it'll look just like like a massive black spot and you won't build. Occasionally you'll see eyes, but you won't be able to make out any body shape
or anything like that. But I think they're up in the trees most of the time. Are for the majority of the time, they stay up in the trees. Have you caught one up in a tree? Um? No? But I have, UM, I have seen some of the tell tale signs that they've left behind, like from going up into the trees and shimmying up the trees, because there's certain pine trees out at uh my mom and does like where there's not a single lamb if you look up, it looks
like something shimmied up the trees like them repeatedly. And I think that they'll climb up the trees and just just hang out up there and watch because I think that if i'm if I'm putting myself in their position, um, if
I'm trying to hide from a human. I would almost think that the human is gonna expect me to be on the ground, so I'm just gonna be up in the air and watch him while he looks for me on the ground, right, And that's and I feel like that's what I haven't even wondered sometimes if if maybe that was like a nursery area, like while the adults are out doing stuff like getting food or whatever, that the younger ones are
just kind of hang out waiting for them to get done. Because it didn't make no sense that that they're staying still for the majority of the time that they would need to get their food. What is the BFR set about all this? What are some of the things that they found whenever they've come out
there. The first time they came there, like their mosquitos were insane, So they went out by themselves in the woods and they watched or a big orb fly around them for I think half the night, but they they got approached by something they said was real big, but they weren't able to get
it on video. And then, uh, the second time. I actually went out with them that night and we didn't really we didn't see anything, but we heard uh stuff walking through the woods and they're can inclusion was that there's a moderately sized um group of them out there, uh that that are living out in the woods out there, But we weren't able to actually get it on video, right, But I thought one thing that was really neat was that the orb you know, and whereas they I've never seen them with
the naked eye, like they said, they were able to watch it flying through the trees with the naked eye, and I had never seen that, you know, So that was neat, Yeah, for sure, especially for it to be documented by you know, the BFR a group like that.
What what do your parents think about all this stuff? Well, at first they thought I was um smoking something or that I was crazy about it, but um, it didn't take long for them to start noticing the the woods were absolutely like just getting destroyed inside, like hollowed out, and the stuff that was the limbs were and snapped in half that shouldn't be snapped in half. You know. Um, my mom she actually was she she she accepted
it more before my dad did. But now they they they both they both believe in it now, although they don't really know what to think about it. Yeah, what what's the scariest thing that's happened to you out there? Um? Well, there was one night when I had to uh that I
had to go behind the barn to get something. I can't remember what it was now, but I just remember hearing like the barn, the back of the barn faces the woods, like right there where they normally are, and I just know that I was trying not to look, you know, I'm just trying to get what I had to get. And as soon as I went back there to get it, I heard something like crunch behind me, and I knew that as soon as I turned around, like I was going
to be face to face with something. But as soon as I turned around, like, I tried my best not to look at it, and I know there was something standing there, but I didn't look at it. Like I turned and you know how you'll get that adrenaline when you start to try to run from something like that. Yeah, And that was that was about like the scariest, scariest thing that's ever happened to move And I'm still wonder now what would have happened if I had a look, you know, Yeah,
Like I don't think that they would have attacked me. But but you have to kind of wonder why they get that close to you like that. I think, I say, I think that they like to mess with people and then like with me. Um, they probably knew at some point or nother that I was not a threat to them when I would refuse to like, like I say, point flashlights at them or a gun or something like that. Um, I think that they kind of got bored with me and
stop, which they're still. Um. Like when I go over there now and visit, I don't notice that the energy out there just goes from like zero to sixty. Out there, they're like happy I'm back or something. I get that feeling that because Uh, as much as they'd try to pick with me and stuff like, I've done the same with them too. Uh. I would leave food and stuff like that out there and they wouldn't touch any of it, just not having it. Yeah, I noticed, Well
I don't. I've read stuff before that they don't like citrus fruits and we have orange tree out there, and that's what I was trying to leave them as oranges, And I guess that would make sense, yeah, that they don't, but um, pears and stuff like that. I've heard people say that they like pears. Who don't like pears, I guess, but um, I never tried to leaven that. Have you ever noticed them taking anything
from the property, food or otherwise. No, I haven't. But I say, I don't think that I've never known them to actually cross into the yard. If they did, they were done. They've done it whenever the light was out. Yeah, you mentioned them not liking it. Whenever you go out there with something in your hands, like a gun or a flashlight. How's the behavior different. What do they do exactly whenever you're out there
like that? Well, as soon as I as soon as i'm you know, like I said, if I walk out there and shine a lot and then go back inside, I'll be able to hear the woods being like thrashed through from inside the house, tearing the limbs and stuff out of the trees, even taking some of the tree tops and just snapping them off. And you can hear them like hitting the ground out there. And they've destroyed them
woods out there for a while. I think for at least a good two or three years, they just did nothing but tear the trees in the woods up to the point to where we were just about to, you know, burn it all down and start over again. But I talk with my dad and leaving it like it was because I thought it was neat. It almost looks like some kind of really big structure like they built um with the limbs and trees and stuff all like intertwined and almost looks like something came down from
above and just squashed the trees and into the ground. But you said that you've seemed like some I don't know, UFO type stuff out there. Some of the things that I noticed, it would be like a giant orbs, um, just weird stuff like that. But then some of the orbs got to be very large, like like the size of a small house or something
like that I'd see on video camera and stuff. Uh. Um. I hadn't really ever interacted with it, like, you know, firsthand, but I would see, uh see it on the camera and stuff, and I noticed that it would it would kind of mirror the time and stuff that I would see, you know, those things out in the woods. And and there there was times where I wasn't even sure. I kept questioning myself as to what I was dealing with. Was I dealing with um? An alien
or was I dealing with a big foot? I would sometimes I would I wouldn't be able to tell, you know, for sure which one I was dealing with because you know that I guess because they were so closely related to each other, you know, and the way they would happen and stuff like that. Did you ever have any like paranormal experiences inside the house, like any haunting type stuff? Um? Yeah, well kinda, Um I think
that that. That's when I kind of put that, uh that camera inside, like, because I would sleepwalk, and I used to sleepwalk bad when I was a little and I'd walk right outside and I'd wake up out and next to the woods or in the yard and stuff, and I'd freak out
because you know, I'd wake up out in the dark. But yeah, um, I started back sleepwalking about four years ago, and this is fin and in the middle of all that stuff going on out there, and I was wondering if I was actually sleep walking out into the woods again, because that would really be crazy to walk out there and sleep walk out there and be in the middle of a bunch of big foot. I do not want
to wake up in that situation. No, I did, so I put the camera in there to try to send an alarm or whatever to wake me up, and I talk. I would talk in my sleep a lot. But I don't know how the door was getting unlocked, because I have a patio door there, and the door would just be unlocked suddenly. But I would watch the camera and I never got up here in a knot, So
I don't know how the doors were getting unlocked. And the house we lived at before that house, it would also happen that way too, like the doors would just be unlocked and opened, and my parents was always confused, like what was going on. They caught it a ghost. But even the you know the kind of dead bolts that have the inside you have the thumb latch, but on the outside you got to unlock it with a key.
Yeah, they would have that lock, and we'd be gone and we'd come back home and it would be unlocked and the door would just be opened a little bit, just kind of cracked open. Yeah, and it would just be like that, and you have to have a key or you'd have to
be inside the house to unlock it. But so they were they would always just say it was a ghost or whatever, and well, the same thing started happening at the house there at now, but it was happening to me, and I don't know if it it wasn't me unlocking it, because like I knew it wasn't me doing it because the video camera and stuff. But I don't know what was that with that you mentioned that other than this the hairs that you found, Otherwise there is really no indications that they were in
the area, so you never found any tracks or anything. No tracks. The tracks is the really hardest thing for me to find it, and that's what I was really looking for. I didn't even expect to find hair. And I also found sequel matter out there, and that that giant nest that I found, and it looked and I knew. I knew that it was something I had never seen before because the poop was like from something that was
eating um greens, like horse greens. And that's where I started wondering if that's what they were eating, because it was a pretty large paw and I know that that it wasn't it wasn't a horse out there, but yet there was horse feed in it, and I couldn't I couldn't think of anything else that would be eating horse feed. Except for horses, you know, or deer. And and it wasn't deer that left that behind, it was something
else. But the hair and stuff would be there. Was it almost looked like, um, it almost looked like they were using their hair in a way to help build their nests because the hair and stuff. I didn't notice it at first, but it was over the top of the nest like with like a canopy, and pine eels and stuff were getting caught in it over time and just adding to the cover more and over time. And and I still got the hair, you know, I kept the hair. Could you
give any to the uh No? But the Discovery Channel tried to get me to give them some and I didn't do it. Really Yeah, I felt like I felt like they were gonna like try to shelve it or something. Um, I don't know, just me being didn't trust them precaution. Yeah, I didn't trust them because they wanted to. There was a lot of stuff that I talked to them about that they just they were interested in whether it was scary, you know, or something what you know, But you
know, but they didn't they could have to me. They were just interested in selling a story, right. They don't really care about the truth of it. Which they were really nice people, you know, they were really nice people, especially during the pandemic. That's whenever I had to go do the video and stuff for them. But they just they were really interested in the hair, but I just didn't. Their motives just kind of stroke me awful in a ways. So I didn't want to just had a bad feeling
about it. Yeah, and I didn't know if I was going to bile to find any more hair, which I did. I found a lot more, but I didn't know that at that time. I didn't want to risk sending it to somebody that was gonna try to say that it was from a bear or something like that. Right, do you have any intentions with the hair? What do you plan on doing with it? I don't know. I would like to do something with it because it definitely me and my dad was sitting there and argue. He's like, oh, that's just um.
He'll say, oh, that's just a vine. I'm like, well, I discovered a new species of vine because I so either way it's a win. Yeah. Um, but no, it's definitely hair because it has um follicles on the ends of it. So so it's out DNA. I definitely would like to know what it is, that's for sure. And I was very very meticulous about how I handled it, you know, like I wore gloves and I made sure not to handle it, and I put it in a paper envelope so that it would UM I could like save the the DNA
of it without contaminating it, right. And I made a video of how I was actually doing that, you know, and that whole process because I was just trying to think about it or or somebody was trying to to debunk me or whatever. What would they try to use. So I was trying to to do it in a way that I would have something to to UM to show that, you know, hey, I was trying my best to be Yeah, yeah, that's smart. I give that advice to a lot
of people. It's it's good to, you know, document everything you do and try to think everything out before you do it to make sure you do it the right way. There is there is another thing too that I just thought about. UM. They see there's a little creek that runs um beside their house, and it starts way way back out in the woods and and it runs right through the heart of where I found that hair and all that
up. But during like rainier months like we've had recently, that creek will be full of water, but it won't last for long and it'll drain back
out again. Well, when I was back there getting the hair samples or whatever, and I noticed that that there was something damning up the water, and I looked and there was two different like barriers of really really tightly packed pine needles that were like, I don't even know if I could, if I could create the level of of intricate like evening that they did in placing these wads of pine needles into making it into a dam to dam the water
up, but it had perfect ceiling effect on that water to keep the water where they could, I guess, use it. But I took pictures of them and didn't have to find them. But I had a fram with me out there when I was because I didn't want to be by myself. Even they were just like, what in the world did this? Because it was it was obviously something made it, but nobody goes back there. I've never heard of that before. It was just all pine needles just kinda woven together.
Well, if you were to get like all of them lying laying like laying the same shape direction, but a handful of them twist them into a wad and stick them into in the like interlocking like sections, and then have mud on it and then do it again. And then they were also using um like limbs in between that. It was just multiple layers of that over and over and over where they had used that to block the water. And when I looked at that, like, I could tell immediately that these things
were not stupid. They were aware, you know, of their surroundings. Are they were able to think about the future, you know what I mean, Like that's what I've seen they were. And not just that, but I started noticing where where the nest was they were taking um, there's a lot of um, what do you call it? Bamboo out there, And I started noticing that the area where the nest was, they were taking bamboo
shoots and playing them around the nest. And and to me, that's like, that's what humans had to learn first before we became a civilization as cultivation, and that's kind of what they did in a way. They were using the bamboo because you know, it'll grow up so thick, but they were planting it around that nest area. But when the bfr O came, we actually camped out in the middle of their nest. I do remember that I had a guy named Ben. He came and it was raining that night.
We can't right in the middle of their nest, and I was worried about that, you know, because I didn't know what was gonna happen. You know that they though because of what it looked like was like um, all the trees were kind of arched over each other and in the middle of this massive clearing where like many of them could have laid at it is just nothing
but pinstral, not a single like weed or anything. It's like they meticulously pick out all of the debris and stuff and then all around the outside of it, it's like a bamboo that just covers it from you can't even see inside of it, just planted around the like the parameter of the bed. Yeah. Wow. And yet it's like a really really big area like where a lot, like a whole group of them could have laid down at night
or in the daytime. And slip was the bamboo like really tall. You say it was planted, how do you know it was planted and wasn't just growing there well because the area that it that it normally grows is further up from that, and and we've never seen it there. But then suddenly, um, when I when we were in the nest area, like there was like there was the direction that it was growing was in a perfect ring around the nest area. But then it's a completely offset from where the bump the
bamboo actually grows. It. Wow, it I'm actually like they just plucked up some of the shoots and took them over there and planted them in a ring around the nest and bamboo, don't I mean it would have it would have definitely grown completely through that nest area if it was left unimpeded. No, because ye, but yet it was it was allowed out, Yeah in a ring. Yeah. In the South we got cane thickets and bamboo thickets. They tend to grow in thickets, not rings around yeah. Rings.
Yeah. It was in a very narrow ring around a hollowed out area, and it just it looked so weird to me. Why do you think they do that just to like conceal the nest or I think so protection from the elements or are probably both now from the looks of their hair. These things are nasty, like nasty looking like that hair that I found like and I looked at as to why it'll have some bands it'll be thick and then some
will be thin and then back thick like how horse may look. And I looked into that and it said that um, like um sporadic eating habits and diet and stuff causes that, like um, poor diet. Yeah, so so where I guess when they're eating good, their hair will be thicker than you know, if they're not eating, which that makes sense, you know, Yeah, yeah, it does. That was a very telling. Normally I wouldn't have went back there because I'm I'm be afraid that I'd probably be
on the Channel six news or something if I did. But yeah, I was glad that I did go about there because I learned a lot from them. And the night after that, Ben and I where we were out there, they destroyed those woods. I know that they were mad because of where we were at, because they ran out of their area because of us, which which we would have, like I said earlier, we would have never got the drop on them because they're just that self aware of what's going on.
But I think also because they got some posted up that'll call out, you know, if there's a human in the area or whatever. I tried trail cameras before and it never could get anything on them. Just didn't work. Yeah, it just didn't work. And then like the cameras you have now are more of like a CCTV type camera that's just running all the time. Well, I keep the infrared turned off on it, and I hype in the air and then when I get when I get close to where I
want them, I'll flip it on real quick. Okay, but um, but I've I've had more luck without the infrared than I did with it because for some reason, and this is something I've always noticed, as they show up with a red tinge anywhere without if you're looking at it without infrared on, it'll show up as like a it's like a really bright red tinge.
And I don't know if that's something their hair does the effect it has, but that's that's usually how I'm able to find out where they are is because amongst the darkness that's there, also there's like this this reddish color that's there too, and it could be you know that their hair has some red to it, but it's almost it's really really spooky looking how it read it read it is a lot of people have talked about their hair being weird and how
light reflects with it and everything, and just having that's a kind of a supernatural effect to it. It almost looks like it takes light and just bends it around it. Like, because I've noticed that they'll be like this black ain't devoid, you know what. They'll be like this band of light right next to it and almost looks like that light's bending around it. But then whenever I whenever, um, and I've seen eyeshine maybe once or twice,
but either they don't have it or they're able to look away. But and I've never noticed the smell, you know, that's what most people say. But yeah, and when I did a really neat thing with the hair that I got some of the hair, I got one of my dogs smell it, and the dog didn't seem to mind it. But when I let my cat smell it, the cat didn't like it. Huh. I was going to ask you how you know, if you had dogs out there and how they reacted to these things. Um, well, the dog they have an
inside dog. She's a little Yorky. Heaven forbid, if she ever got out there, they probably have a stack with her. But um, but now she we have a cat. Um that well, they have a cat there. But I've noticed on video cameras and stuff watching her. I'll tell her she's a sellout all the time. But I'll see her walking back there towards the woods at not you know, And I always like pick them all days. I'm like, yeah, y'all gotta sell out of a cat there
two time on us with Bigfoot frattenizing with the enemy. Yeah, but yeah, that it's something weird about the cats though. And there was one time where we finally we caught a cat that was out there and my dad was like, you know, haul it off. He said, don't make sure you cross the river so it won't come back here and if it's fall you know. And it was feral, like it was trying to eat me up
and stuffing the traps. So but I hauled it several miles away and across a river and stuff, and the next morning the cat was back at the house. Wow. So I don't know what was up with that, Like, it freaked me out and I'm like, I mean I've heard those kind of stories about dogs, but never a cat. Yeah, and definitely not in that time. I mean it was only a few hours and that cat would have had to have been on the move. Yeah, But and I
was gone. I went over to ten miles at least because did was like, you know, take it over a river, because you know, they don't like he said. I don't know if he ever wondered if they would cross the bridge, but he said, they'll won't cross the river. The water. Yeah, that one must have hopped in a taxi or something because it got back morning. Yeah, it caught it up. But it was
really weird. And it was one of the cats that, um that I would see frequently with them most or in that area where they would be a Have you ever heard them talking or anything anything that sounded like a language, mainly just noise and and and there could be there could and there could be something intelligible to it, but I haven't been able to hear it. Have you heard any wooden knocks or anything? Um, Yeah, yeah, there's been a lot of that out there, And um, I knocked back a
few times and got responses, and every time it would hit. The next it would hit, it would be like, um, I wouldn't knock, and then it would knock. Then it would be like a real short pause, and then I'd knock again. And every time it would knock again, it would be closer and closer and closer, until it was like twenty feet away. And I had some friends that were out there. Women, they were like freaking out. They were like, no, man, stop to stop, you know, I stop, don't do it, don't hit anymore,
you know. They whatever it was was just getting closer and closer, and we were out in the woods. I had like to build this little like um campground area out there, right in the dead center of the trees that they had made into arches and stuff. I built like a little campground right there, and I met in the middle of it because it looks cool.
But once you're out there, you can't see how to get back unless you have like a flashlight, and they didn't have a flashlight, and they were starting to get freaked out by it, and they want me to stop. But whatever it was did get real close to us, but you couldn't hear it. I don't know how something that big can be so you know, quiet, but it can walk, It can walk through leaves and stuff and want you to make it sound. But I think that this because they're
able to swing like orangutans through the trees and stuff. But I would occasionally hear the rattlings, the rattling of the limbs and the trees and stuff, you know, like something was moving through the trees and it was able to clink them between, you know, as it was moving. So they weren't completely quiet, but I think it was because humans were weird for some reason, think that that they should be on the ground moving to like us.
But instead I think they're just up in trees moving around. Have you found anything that if you do is like guaranteed to get a reaction out of them if they're around. Is there something that works better than something else? I would say to uh, to try to what what's what's work for me is to make fun of them by trying to make the same sounds they do, but in like a goofier way, like our or um and this sounds weird, but like to turn my back to them and play with my hair.
They don't like that, huh. And I don't know why, but that that really gets them going for some reason, or if I sit there and I had a beard for a while too, like when I had my beard and then the next day when I shaved it, I noticed that that was something something to do with hair that they which I guess I made. When when your whole body is covered in hair, then you should have like a a culture or something that's kind of more involved in hair. But yeah,
you think they have some sort of reverence or something for hair. Yeah, I think so that's interesting. But when I would sit there and mess with my hair and stuff, I would notice that it would get a lot more of attention, you know. And I spent a lot of time, you know, you know, just trying to find ways, you know, because I was hell bent determined to get them on camera. And and even though I've I will notice about the things around my mom and dayes. As they
got incredibly big heads, like really big hits. It almost looks like cartoonish in a way, like how they look, and I don't and I've never actually seen I've seen their head, their faces, and I got videos of it, but I've never seen this the full head and body and everything like that, except that one that I've seen in the daytime, but it looks completely different from what I would see. It's almost like I'm dealing with two
different things instead of it just being one thing. Like it seems like there's the big foot kind and then there's this cartoonish monster looking thing and that sounds weird, but it just looks like there's a giant, like a giant helmet is what it looks like with eyes. It's like completely smooth and no hair on the head. And then there's some that have hair completely covering them.
So I don't know, And I got videos of I got more videos of the things that look they're wearing a helmet than I do of anything else, which that could be the whole thing. Like that's what makes me confused about whether it's an alien or if it's something else. So I think that maybe it's two different things that I'm seeing out there. I almost id tell the MoMA like, well, maybe maybe one of them is the muscle and the
other ones the brains. You know, I don't know ye's the muscle, and then but uh, they'll be also there'll be the sound of like machinery out there. It'll sound like there's like some kind of a big like um like machine out there whirling in the woods. But there ain't no, there's nothing that I can see out there, and um, I can't really hear it with my own ears, but if I was listening through my video through my camera, I'll hear it'll sound like like real big machinery whirling around out
there, just all night long, whirling and digging. It just sounds really, really weird. It makes me wonder, like what what that noise is. But it's definitely machinery, or it sounds like it is. But now, have you talked anybody that's confirmed that they've seen something or anything else around that area? The neighbors. The neighbors there are an old couple. They were like, well, you've lived here for forty years. We've never seen
anything. And I'm like, y'all just told me that y'all that there was something, you know, out at three b am, you know y'all got the guns out. But um, but yeah, they they they have to hear the noises. Um that that the sounds and stuff going on. It sounds like, um uh, it sounds like monkeys are in town, like just hopping around through the trees and stuff. Out there. But but I don't know. They they say one thing, and you know, they could
be huddled up in their house and fear at I would never know. They could just be telling me that. But nobody came forward after you did the TV show or anything. No, no, nobody. Um. The there's a lot of woods behind the house about there, like real, real thick woods. But when I looked on Google Maps or Google Earth, um, it looks like at some point another it hollows out and or opens up until like this this field or something in grass field, and um, there's a
big pond back there. But I never went that far back. That's real far back there. It's like at least a mile or so. Um, there is a horse stable like closer to the highway that's like directly behind my parents. But um, I didn't go that far back. How far away is the river from your parents' house? Um, it's about about two miles,
so it's not too much further. It's definitely like, um, in this and there's like woodlands between there and their house, So it's it's not it's like uh, it's it's doable, like walking, especially I'm sure if you're like enormous like they are they are, they could probably get through it
a lot faster. But I do think that that's how that's that's how they network through is to follow the thick low line areas like that, and then just they go through um where there's a lot of produce grown and stuff, and I guess that there's no produce, they can just always hit the horse barn up. And you have these videos and everything posted on a YouTube channel. Yeah, I actually I need to post the more recent stuff that I have on there. I haven't really posted anything in a while, but I
do need to. What's the channel? Where can people find it? It's ronics are O n y x eight like the number eight next eight. Yeah, well, Blake, I appreciate you sharing all this stuff with us, your story and everything. Man. I've enjoyed it for sure. Thank you, And hopefully I can get something, you know, in the near future, something that will you know, it might get me a Nobel Peace Prize
or something. I don't know. If you've had an encounter with something you can't explain, bigfoot, ghosts, UFOs, whatever, send me an email at Bigfootcrossroads at gmail dot com.
