Sasquatch Valley! | PNW

Welcome to Big for Society. If you have bigfot activity to report from the same areas discussed in this episode, please reach out to me directly after this episode. And if you'd like to be on the podcast to discuss a personal Bigfoot encounter, please reach out to me directly at Big for Society at gmail dot com. Do you wish there was more Big for Society to listen to

Okay, well where this all started. So I wasn't really ever into Sasquatch, you know, I was. I was always open minded to the existence of Saska because I've had some really strange experiences in my life that kind of opened my mind to.

Just about anything as possible. I guess after you've seen some I've seen.

But I had all the same doubts with sasquatch. You know that everybody has like, oh, nobody's ever killed one, you know, all the people in the woods now with game cameras and.

Blah blah blah.

But I was open minded sasquatch, and I've always been entertained by the cryptic, cryptid stuff on YouTube and what have you. So I was watching the sasquatch stuff on YouTube, and so started getting fed more and more sasquatch stuff, and then I came across Todd's Standing's work of the photographs of their faces.

You know, and I had to wonder, you know, it's this legit, you know.

And the more I dug into Todd Standing, the more I started to think, maybe these are the real deal man, Maybe this guy did capture actual face as a sasquatch. So that was kind of where my head was as I was planning this trip to the mountains to do mining for geodes and you know, crystals and agates.

There's a spot deep deep in the mountains.

Right by the Oregon Washington border, near the coast, and it's just a place friends and I go and dig for rocks. We're just kind of rock hounts, just hobby amateur rock Hounts, and so I was up there, and I was all alone this day. My dad and my son had been up there earlier, but they left because they didn't want to sit there and watch me run power.

Tools and break rocks for hours, you know.

So I was up there alone and just got kind of burned out on what I was doing, struggling to get this rock out. Spent hours trying to get this rock out, and that rock is still there, and the thought of sasquatch was in the back of my mind, like kept coming up, you know, just thinking about sasquatch from all this stuff I'd been watching prior to coming up.

And so I said, screw this, I'm going to.

Climb up to that viewpoint up there, and I'm going to see if I can find.

A sasquatch, you know, just just to take a break.

Just curiosity, just bored them whatever, you know, but just this weird thought like I'm going to go up there and just see if I can find one. Never expected actually find one, you know, it was just this weird whim And so I knew, you know, on the way up, climbing up there, I would stop and look for rocks and dig around and so I had a tool in my hand, and you know, I was climbing the hill, flipping rocks over, digging through the gravel, digging through the dirt.

In the side of the mountain, and so climbed up there.

You know, it's about, oh, I don't know, forty feet elevation, game spaced out over you know, thirty forty fifty yards or something. Not some crazy climb by any means, but kind of steep and kind of treacherous. And then at the very top, you're on this cliff that looks down into this valley. So it's a cool viewpoint. You could see mountains and rivers and you can see.

A lot from up there. And so I climb up.

There, and I get to the very top and I'm scanning the valley for I'm talking a matter of seconds, like I hadn't spent any time up there, and I'm looking at something and I'm laughing in my head, like, oh, that's funny.

There's a sasquat right there.

Thinking it was a shadow of stump, thinking it was, you know, something that just resembled the sasquad and I'm staring at it, and I mean it was just like I was dumbfounded as I start seeing this walk, and I'm just like, what am I looking at? And you know, and I've seen bears more times than I can count in the woods, and I have.

Really good eye sight, you know, I've as.

Good as anybody can have ice sight, and I just immediately knew what I was looking at wasn't a bear.

It definitely wasn't a person.

This valley is really rural, really inaccessible, and I later learned firsthand just how hard it is to get into this valley. And so I'm watching this scene walk just like taking a casual stroll through these little trees, like Christmas tree size trees that have been replanted from logging, and I'm just shocked, you know, staring at this thing, just questioning my sanity, Like, I mean, who says I'm going to climb up to a viewpoint and see if I can spot a sasquatch And then they go and

All my pockets are full of rocks from climbing up there.

You tend to just pick up anything that might be something cool when you're a rockounder.

At least that's the way I do it.

I wash them later and decide if this is worth keeping. But as you're hunting, you just kind of grab them. If they look like they have possibilities of being something cool, you grab them. And so my pockets were stuffed with rocks, and you know, no phone. Realized my phone's in my truck, and I could see my truck from where I was at, you know, it was back down at the bottom of

That rock out.

And so I didn't know what to do because I'm staring at a sasquatch, don't have my phone, don't have a camera on.

Me, and I didn't know.

So I'm just completely like unsure what I should do here, you know, Should I run and fetch the phone, should I just stay here and watch this thing. And I have I've had some incidents in the past that I wasn't able to capture on film that have just haunted me for years that I screwed those up and didn't capture. And so I was like, no way, at what's the point of even staring at this scene If I can't prove it, nobody's gonna blieve me.

So I just bomb down this hill.

Jumping, skipping, falling, tripping, hit the asphalt or the gravel, and just beline in a sprint straight to my truck,

Oh, no, it's gone. And that was pretty uh.

I mean, my heart sank when I realized I might have screwed up by taking my eyes off of this scene.

But then I found it.

Then I saw this little black speck down there, and it had changed because it wasn't walking anymore.

It was I couldn't tell.

If it was sitting, kneeling or what, but it was definitely it because I could see the movement and got my phone out and started filming it. And you can even see on that video click film, like you can hear me just just dying out of breath from the run and the climb that I just did. And I'm I film it for a while, but it's at a distance where this phone just didn't doom in very well. You know, it's not great footage, it's not even good footage, but it's footage.

And so I just sat there it.

I moved around a little bit, you know, felt it from different perspectives. But what kept happening because I was so high up that these clouds are constantly coming in this area is a constant struggle with clouds and fog.

It's just they.

Come and they go, They come and they go. It'll be super foggy, and then ten minutes later it's not foggy. Then you know, the clouds will go up and you'll be underneath them, and then the clouds.

Will drop below you, and you'll be above them. You know, it'll be.

Blue skies and sunny, but you'll look across the mountains and all you can see is clouds, like you're in an airplane. It's just this constant fluctuation of weather up there like that.

And so that's kind of what kept happening.

The clouds would come in to steal my view, and so I'd shut the phone off and kind of wait there. Then the cloud would lift, and then I'd keep filming. But I probably have, oh, I don't know, forty five minutes of footage of this thing spaced out across I don't know, ten different videos.

They're all kind of short videos, just.

Because there was no point to film if all I could see was fog, you know. But I was up there for a while watching this thing, and once it hunkered down, I couldn't tell what it was doing, but I would see what looked like an arm raise up every now and then, and so I just kept filming. I even actually was doing like whoops and making noise, trying to like spook it because I wanted it to get up and walk, because I wanted footage of it walking.

And I did have this weird I don't know, like.

Since this thing knew I was watching it, that it knew I was filming.

I don't know why, you know, I mean I did.

I had this just it was almost like not that I could sense that I belie it was like I knew I knew it knew that.

I can't explain it. It's really weird.

And then you know, like that went on for a while until eventually the clouds came in and just completely blocked the view till there was nothing I could see, and my wife, who was at my parents' house, my parents are about an hour away, forty minutes away from where I was at.

Everybody was waiting on me to get back for dinner.

And I've been out there way longer than I'd promised already at that point, and so you know, once.

The clouds completely blocked out my view and I just had to go.

So that's kind of where that first encounter happened. And that's the story.

So are you still there? Yeah?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's I just let you go. So I got questions for you.

So sure.

The main question I think most people are thinking is where can we see this forty to fifty minutes?

Oh, how can you see it?

Is it possible to see it?

I guess, well, yeah, I have the footage. Yeah, I haven't posted anything yet. I've been accumulating massive amounts of video. I got a pile of micro is SD cards, and I have tons of video from the research.

I've been doing. And I've been kind of waiting.

To release everything at once because my hope was to get like a phenomenal piece of footage that we've kind of like propelled my work, you know, like go viral or whatever, you know, and then through that piece of footage, I was hoping to steer anybody wanting to see more to my what will be a YouTube channel where I would have all this stuff. I'm horribly, horribly inept when

So that's the problem.

Like I don't want to just give my footage away and just let the world have it, you know, So I've kind of been holding onto it.

But uh, yeah, I do plan on making it public.

I think it's smart that you you put the work in the setup a channel so that all your stuff can be in one area and you don't just put it up on Facebook and then everyone posts it everywhere. Right, So yeah, it's a good thing about YouTube now is as long as you have like a email address that you can access, you can log into, you can go to YouTube, and you can set up a channel relatively easy. It's just having that email address that you use to set it up with. Yeah much it the time.

I just bought a laptop.

It like two three days ago, and I had one already, but it was an older one that had been collecting desk for so long that the batteries went bad on it, and.

So I just bought this laptop.

Now I need to get somebody to help me, you know, get everything set up and really with the footage I've accumulated so far, as far as the research that I've done following this sighting, I have some pretty amazing, like compared to what I'm seeing, a lot of these other documentaries have really you know, these guys that are out in the woods, you know, making documentaries about their their SaaS squatch hunting.

Big for society, who will be right back after these messages, And all.

I'm really seeing is some people sitting around a campfire, walking around the woods talking about stuff. It's like really like, I was researching for like three weeks and I had found two insanely awesome sites. Are a bunch of upside down trees? Are You're probably familiar with what an upside down tree?

Oh yeah, absolutely. You said this Oregon Washington border that this happened.

Well, I don't like to say exactly where it happened, but yeah, yeah, that just gives people an idea of roughly where it is.

It's close to the coast and it's close to.

The border, which is the Columbia River, you know.

So that's awesome. Yeah, there's so many places over there that that could be that would be absolutely incredible that just I know.

Oh dude, this area is so just mind blowingly meant for something like a sasquatch. As soon as I started doing the research, like looking into this area, I just was blown.

Away by the amount of berries.

That was like one of the first things I noticed, So many species of berries, like every different kind of salmon berry, every different kind of BlackBerry. It just and then wild grapes and wild strawberries. And what was interesting this fall, because I was really paying attention to it, was as the berries are coming to an end, and still I was just up there recently and I was

Dig and dig and dig, and you can.

Fill buckets with clams, freshwater clams. They're they're horrible. I've tried to eat them. They're they're they're not good. But I mean, I don't know that the sasquatch wouldn't enjoy them, you know, but it's food sources like that are everywhere, you know, in the UH. Something we didn't get into

Stump strewn about all around these stumps.

Because you can see this red duff of the the innerds of the stump, and so that's, you know, to me, Okay, So they're eating grubs out of the stumps, you know, that's always available that time of year when the bugs are hatching, and that's you know, a pretty good protein source right there.

And then they got the clams.

Which is a guaranteed no effort meal right there, you know. And so they just things like that, and then there you obviously there's deer, and there's elk, and there's you know, I got a video one evening of a porcupine walking right by me, you know, which is all of that is edible. You know, and uh, I don't know that they would eat a porcupine, but they're probably smart enough to figure out a way to get past those quills, you know. I mean, there's just so much just food,

Do you want me to get into some of my discoveries or do you have questions for me?

I was actually just gonna kinda put us towards that direction. Yeah, if you don't mind sharing other things you may have captured on video, or you said you have some discoveries as well, that would be fantastic.

Yeah, dude, Actually, this is something that I guess that we can talk about. Coincidentally, this morning, when I went to check my emails, you had responded, and I also got a response from this DNA company that I never in a million years, thought was gonna get.

Because I am confident that I.

Have two different pieces of evidence that are just going to be covered in Sasquats DNA, and I guess I could explain that story. So when I found the Sasquatch, you know, I was hunting rocks, digging agots out of the mountain, and I see the Sasquatch, so I didn't care about rocks anymore. I just wanted to investigate sasquats.

The woods and a tent and doing a.

Bunch of stuff alone kind of if it's something you've never done before. You know, at first it's a little intimidating, you know, especially when you know that there's sasquatches out there, because that you know, it wasn't that long ago that I wouldn't have even had that fear really going out

So I'm getting these backpack loads of.

Rocks, you know, and hiking freaking rocks out of canyons is a nightmare, and I've been doing a lot of it. And so I started showing these rocks to other friends of mine and talking about them, you know. And my older brother's friends husband is a geologist. You know, it's a weird connection to this geologists. Actually his girlfriend's best friend's husband, and I've met him at some parties at their house a couple times and stuff like that.

Cool guy.

He's a geol just and I sent him some pictures of some of the rocks, just to identify what some of these rocks were. And you know, he told me what he could you know by looking at the pictures.

Oh, it's probably this, probably that, you know.

And he got excited and wanted to come out and wanted to see where I'm getting these rocks. He's not a sasquatch guy, He's a rock guy. And so I agreed to take him out.

On a journey.

And I warned him this pretty brutal, you know, And I took him through a twelve and a half hour hike but on the way to the to do the hike, it was probably.

Like six am. This is, you know, months ago as daylight.

At six am, and we're entering my area and I see three new huge arch trees, giant tree bends, and these are impossible to ever blame on mother nature. Yeah, I'm sure people would try to blame them on mother nature, but I will just laugh at him. I do a lot of tree removal. One thing I know is trees in how they behave when they break and fall.

And get cut down.

I mean, I'm as close to an expert on the subject as really anybody could.

Ever claim to be.

And so these tree bends are just monstrously, just insanely awesome for me because I was wondering at this time period if the sasquatch had moved out of that area because hunting.

Season was coming in, and I had just kind of.

Thought, yeah, they probably they probably take off from here and go somewhere else because of all the hunters that come up in here. And this particular area where these tree bends is one of the first places I started investigating, and I called it tree break Alley.

That was just a nickname I gave it.

Because it was the first place I just started finding tree breaks all over the place, and so it was just kind of ironic that that's the area where they put these huge bends, giant bends, and like, I almost took it as it was a message to me directly, you know, like you think we're gonna get chased off by hunters.

You know, look what we're doing.

Right in the opening week of bo and you know, black Powder season, these creatures came in and just do this insanely impossible feat, you know, right then when hunting season.

Was just starting to pop off.

And so I see these tree bends and I'm kind of freaking out, and the.

Geologist is with me.

He's aware of the whole sasquatch thing, but he wasn't, you know, a big believer or whatever. He's He's like, I'm open minded to it, dude, but I don't. I don't think that they're sasquatch out here. You know, that was kind of his attitude. And we're up there for rocks. But I see these tree bends. So I pull over and I'm like, dude, you can sit in the car. I gotta go look at these tree bends. And so I'm filming the whole time. I might have stunglasses that are cameras.

I have a body cam, I have a helmet cam, and.

Those are just cameras just to record sort of the backdrop of everything. Because then I have, you know, other cameras I got on my phone. Obviously I do use my phone quite a bit, but I have like my long distance cameras for shooting. I can get footage a mile away with them, and all. I have way too

He's a scientist, you know, he's a smart guy. And Andy he goes, he's like, dude.

Don't you understand, like this isn't from these trees, like this is this is not a tree that is native to this area.

This is this is kind of weird. And I'm thinking, you're looking at a pinecone thing, and a pine.

Cone's weird, like when you got this giant, impossible tree structure right above.

You, you know. But but then I understand what he's saying.

He's like, dude, this was directly under this bent tree and it had to have been brought here.

And I'm like, okay, I get what you're saying. So so he's holding it, but he's being careful.

He's just barely holding it with his like fingertips, and and he hands it to me, and I'm looking at it and I'm like, yeah, dude, and it looked like it had teeth mark in it, like I'm assuming that the sasquatch may have actually stuck this thing in its mouth just.

To hang on to it or something.

While it was using its hands to do something else, it was holding this pine cone in its teeth. And so all that was documented on camera, the whole finding of this pine cone. And I put it in a plastic baggie and I kept this pine cone.

And that day he and I went on that hike. You know, we went on a crazy journey.

I mean, we started hiking at seven something in the morning and we went down to the bottom of this canyon, hiked this beautiful, insane river, found a bunch of rocks.

Big for SOCIETYHO will be right back after these messages.

I set up some game cameras and then we had to climb out, and we didn't make it back to my trip till eight thirty at night. It was just getting dark. I mean, if we would have, we could have been in a bad way.

We luckily got out just in time.

But it was in that hike I found so many different tree breaks, Like I've found so so many different things that are not natural in this area. It's gotten to the point where it's not even we're talking about them anymore, you know, like making another video of trees that have been topped. When tree tops don't break very easily. I mean, that's a whole nother discussion that I'm I'm actually making a video about right now, a series of videos about how rare it is for trees to lose

Acre of forest.

You know, it's just it's really it's almost impossible for a healthy green tree to have its top break. Wind can't do it, snow won't do it. Lightning's the only thing that can do it. And yet I'm finding areas where something has gone through and just topped so many trees.

And I'm finding.

These really crazy trail systems, and I've got footprint I've found so many footprints here. I haven't cast any footprints because the forest floors out there, everything's so steep so and everything's pine needles and moths and so the footprints you get out there they're not like good castable footprints. But I have one in particular that's just amazing. You can see the big toe and the next toe where it cut through the moss and made this footprint.

Do you have a three D scanner on your phone right now?

Not that I'm aware of.

No, what kind of phone do you have?

Oh it's an Android? What is this thing? I think it's a Galaxy something I don't know.

Okay, So you can get apps. For example, Android has one called polycam where you can use your phone to scan the actual footprint and then you can see how deep down it goes and you can just get like a whole viewpoint of it. And it's really cool. So I would look into that.

Yeah, yep, that would be cool.

And then when I do that scan, can it become recorded in like video format?

Uh?

Yeah? So I know guys that they will do that and then they'll put like their little videos from it inside their other videos and they can share the videos with other people. And yeah, so I'm okay. I don't know about PINETI, but I'd love.

To learn how to do that. There's so much stuff I need to learn how to do.

It's it's so frustrating not having the tech skills I need.

So when I got home, I put the pine cone in the.

Freezer and I I started looking at comparisons to what this pine cone is, and it's I'm I'm not you know, I guess, I'm I'm I could be wrong, but I looked at a lot of comparisons, and I'm pretty confident it's called the celllpine, you know, pine tree, and those are a really high elevation tree. And I looked into the maps of where they should be and where they grow,

Of their medicines and stuff, the.

Native Americans, and so that was all pretty compelling and interesting, you know, and I it was just strange, you know, that it appeared right there underneath the bent tree, but I didn't get to see how it was laying on the ground when the geologists found it. He found it and showed it to me, so the first time I saw it, it was in his hand. But then I want to jump jump ahead to my most recent trip

I cleared it.

And I cleared about a quarter mile of this road with my chainsaws so I could drive in there and camp. I wanted to camp in a section of the forest that nobody's camped in in a long time. But having my son there, I needed to have my truck nearby, and you know, I wanted to bring enough supplies so it was comfortable for him. And if I had been by myself, I could have just hiked into the woods and camped, you know, in some area way off the beaten path.

But having my son with me, I had.

My generator, and I had our big fancy tent, and I had all kinds of crap just to create more of like a glamping type campsite for him.

And so anyway, I cut.

The road out made this really cool camp and he and I set out one day just to go do some sasquatch hunting investigating, and I took him to when I mentioned the tree bends with the geologist, I mentioned that there was three of them, and the geologists and I only went and looked at one of them, and the other one I just saw from the road.

It was a ways down in the forest.

And you know, we had another mission that day that was more important. We were trying to get into that canyon, so I didn't investigate the other one. So my son and I went to this tree bend and we're checking it out, and it's the same scenario.

The tree is bent over in a very weird way.

It's wedged up against another tree, and there's these big old scars going up and down that other tree where you can tell that it had to be like rubbed up and down and wedged, you know, as it was bent or formed into the way of which it looked. And so I'm filming this and filming that, and all of a sudden my son.

He goes, hey, Dad, what's that?

And I turn around and I'm filming, and I'm looking, and my son is pointing at the ground to one of those sub alpine pine cones that was carefully and intentionally stuck in the mud.

So it was pointing straight up to the sky.

I mean, it was like and luckily I caught all this on camera, like it was all being filmed, and it was placed in this way that is just completely unnatural, like a pine cone. Well, for one thing, pine cone's this big. This type of pinecone just don't exist in this forest. I've never seen any like it. And I've spent.

A lot of time in our mountains and forests.

I grew up in the mountains and forests around Packward, Washington.

I mean, I'm a mountain kid like.

I spent a lot of time in the forest, and I've never seen pinegunes like this in our forest. In the way this pine cone was stuck in the mud, there's no doubt in my mind it had to have been done by hands, by coordinating hands that pressed it and stuck it in the mud.

It just there's no way it dropped.

Phil got stepped on by a deer or something and got shoved into the like it just there's no way.

It was perfectly placed.

Pointing, perfectly straight up, intentionally put there directly underneath this tree bend, you know. And so I'm just like shocked, like with another pine gone, you know, and this one, you know, didn't get touched by the geologist. Nobody's touched it. So I went up to my truck and got a plastic baggy and came down, and I even had my son video as I pulled it from the mud, just to show, like, and you could tell by when I pulled it out of the mud that it had been

Oh yeah, I mean, yeah, anything you'd like to share. I mean, this is some of the more. I mean, this is pretty I think it's pretty exciting stuff. And you're not saying the area, but any of the area that you're alluding to. I mean, yeah, this, it's it's awesome. So I would love if you have more to share. I'd love to hear it.

Oh yeah, I mean I got plenty sure. I mean, just just the day.

My son and I were up there camping for four days, three nights, and it was crazy. As we're leaving, he's getting pretty burned out on dad's obsession with turning down every road and seeing something and running up into the woods with my camera and just seeing like I could find. And you know, he's only nine years old. He's the coolest nine.

Year old on Earth.

And he's been the Trooper of all troopers the whole time, no complaining. I'm taking him through some miserable stuff. Been a great kid, but he's definitely getting tired. He just wants to go home, you know. And as we're driving out, we're almost off the mountain, and I'm like, you know what, dude, I've never checked this road out and he just gives him his look like he already knows I'm doing it, you know, so he's not giving me permission.

He just like whatever.

And so I turned down this road and I see three break I see stuff. This area is, like I've said, just inundated with sasquatch stuff. Like it's it's just mind blowing that this area Isn't it just like completely taped off and have scientists all over it, like it's it's

You know.

That's somebody would probably say, oh, that's just an owl, but owls don't typically make noise in the middle of the day.

This is like three o'clock in.

The afternoon, you know, and I just right when I turn on the there's a noise coming down from the trees, you know, a weird whoop type hoop noise, and then another one responds off to the left, you know, And it was awesome because I just turned on Actually haven't reviewed the footage, but that was just kind of cool.

Like on our way out, something happened, you know.

That obviously could be debated whether it's sasquatch or not.

But I like to think it was.

I like to think those creatures are actually watching me and messing with me quite a bit, to be honest with you. So that was just the super recent, most recent little thing that happened.

But the very first time you're out.

How to get into this valley, the valley where I was looking when I had that views point, I used an e bike and I parked way over in a totally different area because I studied some maps and I saw that this might be.

A potential way to get in there, and it was.

I had to go under a few gates and I had to ride my bike a good eight miles or whatever it was.

But it's an e bike, says not. And I have cameras.

Set up on my handlebar, and I have cameras on like my helmet and cameras all over the place, and so I forget what camera for sure captured this what happened, but it might be on two cameras actually.

So I'm getting into the valley and I'm super super excited because.

I'm like, Okay, I'm actually in the valley. I don't know exactly where. I hadn't triangulated, you know, precisely where I was, but I knew I was in the valley, and I'm coming down this road and I'm just getting this really like like I'm excited, but I'm also kind of like nervous at the same time, and I'm like really starting to feel like I'm invading onto somebody's private property or something. And so I'm going flow and I'm

Big for society. Who will be right back after these messages?

And I do have the footage of that which shoes me just gradually, calmly riding a bike and all of a sudden, boom, I wreck.

I mean, it made no sense. And uh at this point, you know, I wasn't.

Aware of how much stuff is out there that talk about how they can cloak and make themselves invisible.

I really don't know. I don't know what to make of it. It was just really weird.

And then.

I get up get on my bike.

You know, I'm confused over what just happened, Like how did I just wreck? You know?

But I couldn't make any sense of it. But bikes crash, you know, who knows? And so I get on my bike and I'm riding up and I get up into an area and I.

Do some investigating up in this area, and I what I believe is the lookout point. Are you familiar with like God standings work at all?

Yes? Okay?

So are you familiar with the term he uses of a day watcher? Yeah? I am, yep, Okay, So I'm pretty sure I find a day watcher.

Spot, sorry, can you define it? Are people that might not be though.

God Standing talks about what he's discovered a lot is what he calls gay watchers, and those are sort of like a lookout point for the tribe of Sasquatches that finds a good, I don't know, viewpoint, good vantage point, and they it's watched all day long for threats or people or predators that might be moving in.

To their area.

And uh this, So after I got into the valley and I parked my bike, I put my kickstand up and I parked my bike, and I left the camera rolling the whole time while I was gone, just to film whatever might come sneaking up the road behind me or whatever. And I climb up, and I'm I'm always

Like all over that place, and there were specs, you know.

Big old, big old herds, and this type of dum didn't match the bear dung because I'd been finding lots and lots of bear dung in the.

All over that area.

Everywhere I go up in there that time of year, you're finding mounds and mounds of bears all.

Over the area.

I'm very familiarized with bear dung, and it's super easy to spot that time of year because it's just it looks like berries.

All you see is berry seeds and the bear dum.

And for some reason, this dung up on this weird lookout place where all the these grass beds.

Have been made from.

I mean, I don't know if people are familiar with how animals will bed down and make you know, like beds in the grass, and then you can spot them all the time where an animal has slept or just relaxed for hours upon hours.

And this weird little shelf, this slope that it wasn't like at the very top of the mountain, but it was a really good vantage.

Point in that valley that you could look down and you could see in every direction, and you know, just a really good lookout point and it had you know, eight nine, ten different spots where something had laid in the grass and bedded it down.

And this dung that was all over the hillside just was so weird to me.

It was almost like a cross between like big dog birds and human turds, Like, I mean, it wasn't anything like that there. And I've since found this same done elsewhere, and so I mean, I don't know. I'm not a scientist, but I believe that it is sasquatch done and so I look for that when I'm out and about and so okay, so I find this lookout going in and then I go back to my bike. Well by the time I get back to my bike, it had been

You know which bikes do you know? They do just fall over.

So I don't know if that was necessarily I crashed into a cloak sasquatch or not.

I don't know if cloak sasquats came over and pushed my bike over, but it was weird.

And then as I'm picking up my bike, and I wasn't doing any overnight or anything.

This was all a one day thing.

I had to get back to my truck, so I was pressed for time, and I noticed that I was missing a bottle of power aid that should have been in this little pack on the back of my bike, you know, And I'm.

Like, well, that's weird. Where'd that go?

You know, Like, Okay, it fell out when I crashed. So I'm going back that way, so I'll pick it up on the way out. And so I cruised through and I can't find that power ade anywhere, just gone. And bear in mind, like there's nobody driving around on these roads at this time period. These are all gated off. You can't get out there without a key, and nobody

And then I drive down back. I'm heading back to my truck.

But there was a bunch of places I planned on stopping at on the way out and investigating, and so I pull into one of them and I go down this trail and I find this beautiful women hole just this really amazing, amazing campsite, and uh, like Sasquati say, just a beautiful spot, and uh, I probe around, do what I can, And I actually found a big old agate. That was actually the first time I believe that was the first time I found one of those agates, giant

Like, how did my bear get? Where is it? You know?

And so I'm thinking, okay, somehow it came off this thing and fill off. So I ride my bike back all through the area where I cried. I read all the way back up to where I'm below that what I believe is a gay Watcher point and it's just nowhere. I can't find the bear mats and I can't find the power.

You know. I still to this.

Day don't know where they went, you know, I mean, it was really weird. I don't know what the Sasquatch would do with my bear mace, but.

I don't know.

And so I get out of there, no problems, nothing bad happens. And that was my first experience with entering the valley. The valley, it's what I call Sasquatch Valley. You know, it depends on who you talk to. You There's some people say, oh, guaranteed that sasquatch. Someone else is gonna say, oh, you know, it slipped off your bike and fell into the ditch and you just didn't find it in hun though I.

Can't prove either way, but it was really weird. I will say that it's.

Very weird, especially how much time I spent looking for these things to not find either of them.

You know, that's pretty weird.

I don't think it's even possible that they fill off and landed in like the ditchline and wouldn't have been visible.

I did just I would have spotted them.

It's really weird, and I I do think they were picked up by by something. I mean, something with fingers and hands that can carry a bottle and carry a little canister.

You know, it's just really weird.

So the next time I come out into this research area, it's uh, I don't know. A couple of weeks later and I go back to that beautiful camp site that I mentioned earlier, and I go hiking across the river and I take this little creek, not little, it's a good.

Sized creek, I guess small river.

And I start chomping up this river and I'm walking right in the middle of the river. Pretty nervous going into this area. I know there's a lot of bear up there, and so I decided to walk in the middle of the river because I've spent a lot of time walking in rivers. It's kind of a scale that some people have and don't have, Like I'm just really good walking over slippery rocks and walking through rivers, and so I'm totally comfortable just walking right through the rapids.

I just have some rivers us on and jump right up the middle of the river.

That way, I feel if a bear or something where to rush me, I'm gonna see it, rather than if I'm walking on the shoreline of the river, where I'm right in the brush, where a bear could easily just lunge out of the bushes and I wouldn't have much warning. So by walking in the middle of the river, it just gives me a little bit more warning of predators or anything kind of coming at me, but you do sacrifice any skeelthiness. It's hard to be really quiet. You know,

In the air.

And this is a big old log that's probably fifteen inches wide, easily fifteen inches.

Wide, and you know, the root ball up in the air.

And I was just dumbfounded, you know, like, Okay, I came out here hoping to find a sasquatch tree break or you know, find something, and find an upside down tree. You know, it just blew my mind, you know. And then I'm staring at it from the river and I know exactly what it is, and I'm filming it from the river, and so I go over there. I climb up this little embankment and I get up into this field and there's a bunch of them.

I mean, I'm filming, and but a lot of.

Them didn't have roots on them, and a lot of them actually had been cut by chainsaws, which you know, it's it's to be expected up there, because it's you're talking, this whole area has just been logged over and over and over again.

And so I mean, if it's Sathquad it's.

Walking around picking up logs, more than likely they're going to pick one up that has been cut by a chainsaw at some point. And so some of these are actually pretty tall. I mean, some of these trees sticking out of the ground are logs sticking out of the ground were I don't know, thirty feet.

Up in the air.

Some of them have roots, some of them don't. You know, some of them are only eight foot in the air.

You know, some of.

Them all different sizes, and some of them aren't sticking perfectly straight up. Some of them are kind of angled, sticking out different ways. But you know, it was just amazing, Like I never thought that I'd be able to go back and show some of the naysayers in my life,

So it made me kind of uneasy.

And then I'm walking through the field and I'm you know, narrating as I'm filing trees, and I walk right in to a pile of elk bones. There was an elk skull, and you know, elk bones. It could be dear, but it just seemed like a bigger skull. If it was a deer, it was a pretty good sized deer, but there wasn't any antlers, so it was probably you know, a female deer or elk. But I do believe it was an elk by the size of it. And so that was kind of scary, you know, kind of you know,

And so I went up and down the river.

That day and got a big old backpack of rocks out of there.

Big for society. Who would be right back after these messages.

And I've been back to that river many times then, oh, a couple of weeks ago, a couple of months ago. Now I went back to that same river, and I'm pretty sure I was by myself on this trip.

I'm usually by myself, but I've brought people out. Yeah, no, I was. I was by myself for sure.

And I was hiking up the river, you know, retracing a lot of the same footsteps of I've already been across, kind of rock hunting, kind of sasquatch hunting, just just trying to be proactive in this weird endeavor that i've you know, taken up. And I passed my area where the upside down trees are, and I was planning on come because I go up the river then I walk back down the river, so I see everything twice the

I found beaver dams in the woods that were you know.

Eight feet tall, you know, huge, huge, damn Sometimes they don't always get that big.

But I was looking at the topography, you know.

The way the river and the way the valleys shaped, and this beaver dam could potentially become one of those monsters.

And so I thought, well, that'd be really cool.

I'm going to get some game camera set up and.

Get a record of how they build these things, and you know, make a video about it.

Because everything I'm doing is supposed to become tough for my channel that doesn't exist that I hope to get built someday. And so I continue upstream and I'm seeing all these areas that used to be just covered with foliage in the beaver has eaten all the trees, chewed them all down, removed them, and he's building the dam with them. And then all of a sudden, off to my left again more upside down trees. Because I'd walked

The beaver had cleared it all away.

And so here's another sight of upside down trees, you know, and it's just it's it was awesome. But these these ones actually were smaller. There wasn't any like big, big, huge ones. But I mean they're still pretty impressive there. I don't know, fifteen feet in the air, I would say, uh, eight to ten inch logs.

With roots on it, you know, stabbed into this ground.

I mean, to dig in this dirt would be so hard because it's it's just river rock, like compressed river rock is all it is. It's so digging or you know, stabbing a log into that that ground. I mean, it just doesn't even seem possible, even like because.

I have post hole diggers for the work I do.

You know, when people hire me to build a fence or something like that, you break out a posthole digger, and if there's rocks, it's so hard to dig into. I mean, your your bit just bounces off of them, and it just it's a nightmare. Your wrists just get hammered trying to control it. You know.

Postal diggers are a nightmare. Period.

I've always hated running postal diggers, but I just don't even understand how anything could do this, could drive these logs into this river rock like they do. But I went over into this grassy area and there was some more upside down trees over there. I think there was like maybe five or six in this area. They all seemed a little bit older than the first the main upside down tree area. In fact, there was one that I went up to and it was old and it was a small upside down tree.

I mean, it was like maybe up to my chest, but it was a rootball up to my chest.

And it wasn't a big fat log or anything, you know, it was five inches or whatever. And I went up and just barely kind of touched this thing, and it broke and fell over, and it was just.

Old, old decayds.

I mean that one possibly's been there for twenty years.

I don't know, I have no clue, but old.

And then I got down on my knees and dug in and looked at the like where the log is actually in the earth, and it was all very old. You could see dry rot had set in, and.

It'd been there.

They've been there a long time, some of them look obviously they've been there longer than others. But what I think, you know, and totally just speculate on this, I think that they they have some kind of meaning, like maybe every now and then the new I don't know, alpha that's in charge, or something goes down there and drives something into the ground to signify.

I don't know they have meaning. I don't know for sure.

It can't just be I'm bored, so I'm gonna just pick a log in the ground like that doesn't.

Really make sense.

I do think there's there's some kind of message that has to do with why they do this.

Oh, I would agree definitely, yeah, that it has to be. It's not just you know whatever. But man, you have got some wild, wild stuff going on in your area. It is just crazy.

Hugh, Yeah, man, it's it's been pretty exciting. I mean it's and what's crazy is this actual sasquatch investigation. It was a day before Father's Day that I had my sighting. So I'm not a math expert. How many months ago had that been. Do you know of the top of your head, I can't even think what the.

Fathers Day June. Let's see, I think it was June June sixteenth, So yeah, that's not long dude.

Yeah, wow, that was this Father's Day is when I had it was a day before. It was a Saturday.

And so, I mean, I haven't been out this very long, and and I look at what I've already compiled my evidence wise, and then I go and I watch people's janneals that have been around for years and years and years, and like, I mean, I'm not trying to to my own horn or whatever, but it's like, dude, in a few months, I've I've uncovered better evidence than what people have been finding, you know, many many.

Years of doing the research, and its area like everywhere I go, everywhere I go, I find da squat stuff.

Like about a month ago, I can't remember, I was visiting my parents and talking about the stuff I do because my parents live in the area of where I researched. I mean there, I wouldn't say in the area, but it's it's not that far away, you know, from where they live. So when I had the sighting, when I you know, my very first sighting about the day before Father's Day, I went right to my parents' house after

You know, at first, I wasn't even going.

To tell anybody, because I've had some weird stuff happening. I've had UFOs, I've had paranormal things happened to me throughout my life, and nobody believes you, you know, nobody believes you when you tell them about these things. And so I was really debating whether or not I was even going to tell them about the Sasquatch, you know.

Didn't want to have people roll their eyes.

And then I really hate it when people pretend to believe you just to talk about you behind your back, you know, like, oh.

He's crazy, you know.

And so the whole drive home, I was debating whether I was going to tell anybody or not.

And then I get to my parents' house and.

You know, my wife probably saw a weird look on my face or something, you know, and she's like, what's going on and washing my hands, and I'm all filthy dirty because I've been breaking rocks all day, and so I just tell it, like, and what's crazy about me

Todd Standing footage.

And so it's just crazy because the night before I went up to do the rock hounting, I was talking about Todd's videos in about the sasquatch faces. And then I go up the next day and I'm rock hounting and I see a sasquat. So then when I come back home, you know, it was just really weird to be coming back and being like, yeah, I saw a sasquatch today, you know, after just the night before talking about it.

The whole thing is just really weird.

And so as I'm telling everybody about the Sasquatch that I saw my dad, who's never had anything paranormal happen to him in his life. He doesn't believe in anything. You know, everybody's lying, everybody's a fraud or whatever.

And he goes, oh, yeah, come to think.

Of it, Oh, a couple of years ago, I was up on such and such road up in the mountains, and I saw human footprints in the snow.

Oh wow, you know.

And I'm yeah, and I'm like, Dad, how have you never mentioned this to any of us? Oh? Well, I just I just figured it was uh, just a hunter and my dad a hunter walking around in the middle of the wind there in bare.

Feet in the snow. Yeah wow. I don't know.

I thought maybe he was just camping and maybe just left his camp to.

Go take a piss or something like that. He goes, but they weren't huge.

They weren't, you know, size eighteen's, you know. He said that the footprints were comparable to his size, you know. And I'm and that's why I'm like, well, Dad, there are different size you know, footprints for creatures.

They got to grow, you know, in order to get big.

So anyway, so that was just kind of crazy, you know that my dad mentioned the you know, finding human footprints in the snow, and uh, that was on a different mountain than my research area. But it's is I know how to get to the area that he where he found the footprints, and I actually have gone through that area. I spent the day up there and I found phenomenal tree breaks, and then I went into the forest.

Where those three breaks we're at with my dog.

I have a three legged dogs. She lost her rear leg when she got ran over. And he goes out a lot with me and does a lot of researching with me. But I'm limited on what I can do with her because if he hurts one of her.

Legs, it's a big problem. I'd have to carry her.

But anyway, me and in her we go into the woods underneath these tree breaks, and I find a pile of bones in there, just like the pile of bones that I found it the upside down tree place, you know, and it's it's just kind of creepy because typically bones kind of get scattered around, you know, just by animals, by nature, you know, when you find them piled in the woods.

It's just kind of creepy.

It almost seems like they're put there intentionally, and they're they're not always, I mean, they just kind of end up together when the animal decomposes. But it was just, you know, I'm following some tree breaks, you know, into the woods in the area nearby where my dad found the footprints and just find a pile of bones, you know. And so that's really all I know about that area

I just haven't.

But so anyway, and I want to be talking about my dad. So I'm at my parents' house and I'm talking about my findings and what I'm doing, and my dad mentions this area that you can drive into, because.

That's a big deal.

Like a lot of these areas that I'm researching, you can't drive into them. You have to have keys for these gates. And so it's kind of cool when you can go to these spots and actually drive through them in your vehicle. And so my dad, you know, used to work for a logging come and he's up in that area and.

Driving logging truck.

He was a truck driver and so he knows a lot of cool spots up there, and he wanted to show me this area.

So we drive out there.

It was my dad, my wife, and me. I think, yeah, it was just the three of us that day. And he takes me up through this wilderness and we're driving around all day and going down random roads, and we go to this really amazing area that puts you right on this beach at the Clumbia River. Real private area right right on the beach, big huge like palisade cliffs are right there.

Just an awesome area.

And I'm checking the sand like crazy for footprints because it was really good sand for footprints.

And I'm not finding anything.

And I've been all over this wilderness all day looking for a tree break, looking for something, couldn't find anything, I mean, and I kept saying that it's like God, it's so weird, like this area just has no sasquatch sign whatsoever anywhere. And then we're driving out and we're I don't know, we're pretty far from where we were

I'm just curious about.

Something big for society. Who will be right back?

After these messages, I turned down this road and instantly, like all of.

Them, even my dad, who I don't know.

If he's even a believer, you know, despite everything that's happened, still probably a doubter, but he pretends to be a believer around me. I don't know that he is a believer. But my wife, you know, and she I think she's a believer now, but she's been a skeptic of a

Arches across the road.

So as you're driving through, you're going under all these arches, and then you look to the right and there would be a tree break that had.

Been bent over and broke this whole road. And this road goes for about I don't know, roughly a mile in the.

Entire road was just tree breaks and bends and arches. I mean, it's just so weird that there was nothing in this area. And then all of a sudden I turned down this one road and it's just like a Sasquatch playground.

And a lot of the tree breaks.

Were old, dried up, old, like multiple years old, and then some of them looked like they were so fresh they could have happened that day. And then before the road ends, I look off to the left and there was like a creek probably that comes in you look like a canyon. And I get out and I go look, and something had taken these trees, and these trees are like eighty feet tall, but they're just really skinny, really skinny, like beanpole like trees.

I don't know that they're they're fighting.

To get light or whatever, so they just stretch out like crazy. But something had actually taken three of these trees and bent them into each other and made an arch where the roots were on each side, and then they had been twisted and almost braided into each other like and I videoed all this. I have video of all this, and it's just this impossible arch where the trees are just going up under under I mean, there's

You know.

It's and so that anyway, that was just a really interesting thing because it's it's almost like anywhere I go up there, I'm gonna find super significant sasquatch evidence. I mean, it's just everywhere I go there, it is like some of it's more vague than others, but this whole entire area, it I don't know if it's one big tribe of them or if it's you know, multiple tribes.

It's it's it's.

A big area, but it's uh, it's just inundated with it. And when I found this, this particular road that I'm talking about with all the arches, it seemed like we were a good third plus miles away from my main research area. And so at that moment, I thought, well, this has to be a different tribe of them, because these tree breaks are a little different than the ones that I'm I'm finding in my area. They just kind of had a different style to them.

In a way.

But then when I actually pulled up the maps and really looked at you know, the layout, the topography and everything, it was only about it about ten miles away, you know as the crow flies, which would be probably like fourteen miles if you were to actually hike it, going up and down the canyon walls and.

Stuff like that.

So it's not impossible that the same sasquatches are covering the same ground.

But yeah, I don't know how far they.

You know, would migrate or what they can consider a just a stroll through the woods would be.

Is that twenty miles or two miles? You know, I have no idea.

No, I mean it's it's got to be. I would think a ton of miles. But man, Hugh, this, I feel like we're probably gonna talk. I would love it if you would keep me up to date with what's going on.

Follow up episode might be a really good idea, because I currently have I think fifteen game cameras in this area. Yeah, and uh, I actually no, it's like eleven I forgot. I got a couple of.

My that's still pretty awesome.

Yeah, and.

Yeah, I got some some big plans actually, because it seemed to work last time on enticing them into my camp, and I'm going to really pursue that. No, I probably will have some pretty cool follow up stuff.

Pretty that's awesome.

You.

Yeah, definitely keep me, keep me in the loop with what goes on in in your area up there. For sure.

I do have footage of what I believe is a face of a sasquat looking at me, but I couldn't get the camera to focus on it, and uh, I was in a canyon on the slope. It was super sketchy and then I also have another footage that was right at sundown and I couldn't get the camera to focus, and so I tost that camera side and pulled out another camera and uh by.

The time I got it up, but there was nothing there.

And another piece of footage I got blobs black blobs in a shrub that seemed to be moving.

But I could, you know what I mean.

So I have a lot of like maybe squatch footage, but it's just I want I want that million dollars shot.

It'll blow up, you know.

I would recommend to just put it all up. Seriously, put it up. Yeah, people can. I mean, you'd be surprised. There's a lot of like really technical people that can even they might be even able to help clear up stuff. But I would not. I would just put it all up because people love watching your journey as well. That's a huge deal. Absolutely, Hugh, Thanks again for coming on and for chatting.

Yeah.

Man, I'll look forward to talking to you again when I got some big news.

You got it, talk to you later, all right, man, take care. Just want to take a few minutes to say thank you to you all my listeners for listening to the podcast.
