EP: 407 Bigfoot in OHIO? Blurry Creatures X Bigfoot Society

Notice anything about the face and she's like, It was weird'cause I was looking at the face, but like I couldn't see it because it was all blurry and like everything was together. But I was like, Oh, that so it was kind of like She was having a hard time describing it, but she she used the actual words like it looked blurry in in the face. A blurred face. Uh brown around the face, facial hair was lighter than the rest of it. Very, very weird stuff.

They go to open the door. Uh the the dog starts freaking out, uh lunges towards the tree line in the back of the house. And the guy looks out there and he's like He's like, I can see something in in the back tree line. And it's a dark, shadowy figure, and it's big. And I'm like he says, you know, I got bear on my property. And I was like, well Well how did you know it wasn't a bear, sir? And and he's like there's no bear around here that

Bigfoot's on the move. He's out there. He's hanging out in Ohio. Today we're bringing on Jeremiah Byron from Bigfoot Society, who's been hot on the trail and getting hundreds of emails from people. New York Times even called him Luke, and Babylon B made a meme about it.

The guy is out there living the dream and uh it's cool that he's dedicated lane into the Bigfoot space. So we're gonna bring him on and we're gonna ask him all the questions. What's going on, Ohio?'Cause a lot of our listeners are like, you need to do something.

What's the news? But he's got all the the uh he's got a map on his website. He's got everything ready to go. So Luke, what is it? Breaking news doesn't happen. This is like breaking news and then and we get to talk to the guy that really put the n put the dots on the map and and

and launch the story, talking to New York Times, talking to Fox News, talking to the all these major news outlets and in the s the whole world's like looking at this going, What's going on in Ohio? Yeah. And why why are we having these the string of sightings of of of Bigfoot and

So we're gonna get into it today with a guy that's that's boots in the ground, that's making the reports, drawing the maps, and and has has really broke the story. We're gonna do a blurry Bigfoot society crossover. So that's right, man. If you like it. You know, join the join each side and and get blurry or you can get get get in the Bigfoot society and and learn a lot more about the Big Fella. But he's out there, baby. We're going back to our roots.

This show started with Bigfoot and we're going right back, baby. Let's get him on and figure out what's going on in Ohio.

We have Jeremiah Byron on and we're gonna ask him his first question, Jeremiah, is this heaven? Or is this Iowa? What up, guys? Glad to be here. It's Iowa. But thank you for for reaching out and being like, hey, can we do something? And I'm like, yeah, we can do something. Because man, Nate, we were just talking like We talked like nine hundred episodes ago on the Big Fist Society podcast. And like Luke, it's great to meet you finally.

Finally. So good to be here, man. It's a meeting of the minds, dude. This is welcome to Blurry Creatures. Beautiful. And we started with Bigfoot and we're going back. So so tell us what's going on. What are your thoughts on Bigfoot?

But you have probably more thoughts than most. Yeah, I have a lot of thoughts. Well, I look at it a few different ways, guys. So You know, with with my podcast Bigfoot Society, like why I do it is I provide a place for people to share their encounters and work through it and kind of get through that trauma. But over the last few years, like I have gotten out in the woods and myself and like things have gotten weird and they've gotten blurry.

And dudes, like, I don't know what it is out there, but like there is something I think how I view it is it's a physical creature because I've seen the tracks, I've seen something that peeled a banana that was left in the woods uh thirty miles out in Oregon and then it ate it and left a seventeen inch track near the tree and like

I've seen some blurry stuff, dude. So I think it's like some kind of physical creature that can just do some quantum science. I don't know what kind of stuff, but it gets weird, man. Yeah. I love it, dude. Quantum lead. I love doing it. You know, it's funny, Jeremiah. We do this we've done this for the show now for four hundred and something episodes and it and it started out as like You know, honest opinions from guys like Dr. Jeff Meldrum and

Rest in peace. The late great. Yeah, the late great. And some of those early bigfoot folks that we had on the show. But now it's a it's become more of an icebreaker because you're asking Theologians and Whoever, man. I mean Dusty Slay Hardy. We're asking all these guys what they think about Bigfoot, but it's fun to get back to it and be like, listen to Dusty Slay? Yeah. He had an interesting answer. We tried to get

You try to get the broader community into the nerdery that is Bigfoot. But you I love it. You go headlong into the into the data, talking to the people. Every day is Bigfoot for you.

And listen, dude, it is hot right now, dude. This is crazy. I mean, it's what's going on? All the major news outlets are covering these Did you start going on in Ohio? Yeah, what's happening? You've been running around a suit? What are you doing out there? Dude, it's it's so much. It is so much, and I didn't

Man, I just got I just gotta probably tell the story. Like all right. So here's how it goes, right? So we're just gonna launch into it. Um So for social media stuff on Bigfoot Society, when there's a online Bigfoot Uh database that does reports, right? And I'm like, I'll make a video about that. That'll be great for the channel. You know, it'd be fun. Get the word out, right? And usually it's kind of like,

Not much response. So on the sixth of March, which is when is when this all started in Manway Center, Ohio, Northeast Ohio, right? So there is an individual and this is over on the Bigfoot Mapping Project, which is a great Bigfoot map site. You gotta check that out. So he took a report or got sent into his website there where a individual had seen a uh large bipedal cryptid.

a bigfoot, about nine foot tall, brown, and it was about hundred and twenty yards from'em and then it started moving away'cause it knew that it was there. So I made the video and then the next day I got someone reached out on TikTok and I was like, Oh, that's weird So I was talking to this guy, and he's like, Yeah, we had a sighting on uh on the 7th at 10:52 p.m. where we're We're just kinda hanging out, walking around in uh on this trail and there was something with heavy footsteps

deeper in the trees, steps were slow, spaced out, and much heavier. And then they saw what they're saying is a uh eight foot tall, uh brown haired Sasquatch and then it pretty much did a deep grunt.

The echo through the woods and they step back, right? Okay, so I was like, That's weird. And then like you don't get those doubles like that. Usually I'll make one about Oregon and then it's business as usual, right? So then on the ninth is where it got pretty wild. So There's another report on the Bigfoot mapping project on in Garretttsville, which is you're going east if you're looking at the map that I've put together.

You're headed east and it's you're headed east about three miles. This whole sighting corridor is about twelve miles long. So Garrett's And this one's kind of a short one. There's a individual that was like I was walking through the woods, I saw an eight foot black Sasquatch looking creature, got scared, and so really basic. But I was like, you know what, I'm gonna throw it out here because this needs to be documented and there's a pattern showing up, right?

So then this individual reached out to me on TikTok and they were like, Yeah, an hour an hour ago, around eleven forty seven, and this gentleman wants to be anonymous Uh, we had this wild thing happen and I was like, Would you talk on the phone?'Cause at this point I'm like, I gotta start talking to people on the phone and make sure if this is legit or like just people that are sending in reports.

Uh and and you know, maybe it's just a coincidence, right? I need to need to really look into this. So Talk to this guy. He was shook up. He was in Garrettsville hiking on this trail. uh called uh Headwaters Trail. And the story goes that they had they saw a uh they saw a ten foot tall black haired Sasquatch that was in the woods and I was like, Did you see anything weird about this guy? Like was he doing anything weird?

And the witness was like, Well, it's about thirty feet away. It grunted at us and when when it turned, it didn't turn its neck. to look, it had to turn its shoulders. And I was like, oh man, okay. It's priority time. And then I was like, is there anything else? And and uh The guy was like, Well, it looked like he was on stilts and he's he's just acting he was he was walking weird. The way he was walking was very weird and I was like, Okay

So I'm trying to like, you know, process through this. And then a few hours later I get another contact. This time it's starting to come through email. I'm like, oh man. And like more and more and more showing up. Uh, same day, March ninth at six PM.

This time we're over in Wyndham, so it's starting to move southeast now, just a few miles away. Uh this older lady is in her house. Uh she's a skeptic. She's looking through the window at the woods outside. She says approximately a hundred feet away from the house, she sees a six foot tall brown Sasquatch run out of the neighbor's woods and then run back into the neighbor's woods. Her quote was This is pretty cool.

But I don't know what I saw. And I was like, oh man, that is like so wild. That's so telling of of like she's just very and I'm talking to to uh she's there, her daughter is there and like they're emotional, they're worked up, they're like I don't know what what's going on, like what we saw. So there's that. And then uh a little bit later in the week I got another report.

Uh from March 9th. So same day, but this is at 8 PM. And if you look on the map, it's further west over by Streetsboro. But what happened was this lady and her daughter driving her their car from Streetsboro to Hudson And they're driving down the road by uh Tinker's Creek and all of a sudden

there's this Bigfoot walking down the road in their lane of traffic towards them and it's to the point where like it's doing the weird like kind of walk bent forward or uh leaning forward and stilted type walks to Two forms is stilted right there, two two witnesses. And she's like, I had to like swerve to get out of the way and my daughter, if she had put her arm out the window, it she would have hit it with her arm. It was so close. It was like a few feet away.

Um, here's the part where it gets blurry, gentlemen, because I told you before, I was like, uh, don't worry, there's a little bit of blurriness about it. I was like, Did you notice anything about the face? And she's like, it was weird. Cause I was looking at the face, but like I couldn't see it because it was all blurry.

And like everything was together, but I was like, oh that so it was kind of like she was having a hard time describing it, but she she used the actual words like it looked blurry in in the face. A blurred face, uh brown around the face. Facial hair was lighter than the rest of it. Very, very weird stuff.

Uh then we move on to the next day. So now we're on the tenth. We're continuing to go further southeast. To Newton Township. So this Is the tenth, it's early morning. I get an e I've I'm getting tons of email now. I'm not sure. Hey, real quick. Like so I I was I had I was curious, maybe some listeners are too. When I we looked up Portage County, Ohio, I just did it here so I could I could orient myself.

Um Garrett'sville is 45 miles southeast of Cleveland and 35 miles northeast of Akron. So we're talking about a region between Cleveland and Akron. Is that is that correct as far as so'cause I'm trying to picture in my head, okay, so where in Ohio are we? Like is does that sound Yeah, so this is this is a great, great question actually. No one's really asked this. So And if you go to uh bigfoot society podcast dot com and citing map, I have these on um

uh map pins as well. But so pretty much we're looking at you look at Cleveland and then you go due east of Cleveland. And it's like that area between Cleveland and Youngstown. That's where it's happening. Okay. All right. Yep. That's good. So this is yeah,'cause I've you know if anyone's been to Cleveland, oh yeah. You know, that's the uh we're not too far from Cleveland Rocks. No, I listen, they people are hey

In Cleveland people understand, right? There's two seasons. There's winter and then there's road construction. So all my Cleveland people stand up. It's uh But yeah, I was just trying to orient myself'cause you know Ohio is Thank you. Yeah. But okay. Continue. So we're so we make it to the tenth. We make it this point. Like ooh.

You know, there's a lot of folks that that make reports and right, of course the skeptics first question is always or first response is like it's mystification. We're looking at like there's bears out there, black bears. Um those kind of things.

You know, when you're taking these reports and when you're when you're talking to people, you know, how do you zero in on like being like, Let's eliminate a couple of things here so we're not there were a couple of things I heard from you. Was one is like a bear turns its neck. I've seen enough bears, I'm from Northern California. They don't they don't have to move their whole body.

You know, to to look at ya. Well that's how Patty looked. She just burned her whole body. Just beefcaked, dude. Nice. Yeah. Just a linebacker out there. There's linebacker. Um continue though. The best you can authentic. Have you drawn a map? Have you drawn the line? Okay, so I was like

This is so crazy. I gotta go full scale draw a map guy on this. And I've I was like, man, I'm putting stuff in like Canva and I'm going all like I'm not a graphics guy, but I was like this time I'm being graphics guy and it is like It has been very effective'cause I I

I I can send it over to you guys too. Yeah. For sure. Um, but yeah, so Nate or uh Luke, as you as you asked, so one thing I was asking uh these witnesses when I'm talking to'em because I'm talking to everyone on the phone now, and I'm like, uh You know, one of the questions and this actually comes in to play with the New uh Newton Township one, which is on the tenth. You'll find out about that actually right now. So uh there's a gentleman where

He he sends an email to me and I'm having to shift through tons of emails right now. Uh there's a lot of like AI generated stuff you can tell because it's got the M dashes and like not this but this. And I'm like, okay, fake. And then um a lot of like old pictures that are from the early two thousands, I'm having to do reverse image search and Google on these things.

And so there's a lot of like pre work to get to the point where I'm like, Okay, this sounds, you know, kind of good. I'm gonna see if he'll he even give me a phone number. So the Newton Township anonymous individual He reaches out early on the tenth and he I'm like, Hey, can I have your phone number? Because it's very like straightforward, very short statement. I need to talk to someone.

And I'm like, okay, this I got a feeling. So I talked to this guy. He is super emotional. He's worked up. He's like I want to be anonymous and I just never want I didn't this is it. I'm talking one time and this is it, right? So 4 a.m. He gets up, he has to take his German Shepherd out. They hit they go to open the door. Uh the the dog starts freaking out, uh lunges towards the tree line in the back of the house.

And the guy looks out there and he's like he's like, I can see something in in the back tree line. And it's a dark, shadowy figure and it's big and I'm like i s he says, you know, I got bear on my property and I was like, Well, well, how did you know it wasn't a bear, sir? And and he's like There's no bear around here that are nine to ten feet tall. Wow. And I'm like, okay, so that's pretty substantial. So

He immediately is like, We gotta get back inside. This is wild. Uh when they get back inside, the German Shepherd dog is Shaking uncontrollably. It's never done that before. It is just freaking out. And um, so that's 310 at 4 a.m., right? So that's Newton Township. Um, a little bit later.

Um I take a report. Where is a is an older anonymous lady And uh she's very salt of the earth, very straightforward, very like, you know, I'm not messing around. This is what happened. I just want to figure it out. And you'd want to have her on your side, right? So it's down in the Lake Milton area. So again, we went east, now southeast, and it's kind of going down there. So what happened was

uh she saw something that looked reddish brown, rust co rust colored. It was about s uh seven feet tall and it was two hundred feet away from her house. She was looking out from the window in her house and it was going towards the pond.

In the backyard, wonder under a tree in the underbrush and then it disappeared in the woods. And I was like, Did it vanish completely or did it just go into the brush? And she was like, It went into the brush. Did not vanish. Okay,'cause that if it's blurry, you gotta ask, right? So um she's like

I saw a view of the side and the back. It wasn't shaped like a deer. Because I was starting to ask this question, Luke, that you brought up. I was like, I gotta start asking because there's bear out there. I was like, why would you say this was not a bear? She was like, few things. The collar. The big fat round arms. And very, very muscular. So those are the the two the three things that she pointed out. She was like, I haven't checked the area for tracks because she's been busy.

Uh it was also leaning forward as it ran, so it was on two legs. Big deal there. She's like, I just feel curious about what the heck it could have been. That's what she said. So

That is uh that is the eight sightings that happened in five days from March sixth to March tenth. And it's been wild. This hasn't been anything like this since the late nineteen seventies. uh when all the flaps happened around the US. How many different Sasquatch are involved, you think? That's a great, great question, Nate. Uh so if you think about the different colors And you think about, you know, people are seeing different heights, I mean, that tells you that there is

There's definitely more than one. There's either a group or there's individuals kind of moving al along a route. And then that's a whole question in itself because it's like, well, why are they moving? all down this route. Is this a migration thing? Yeah. Some people are theoretically Sasquatch migratory. Right. Some people are theorem, well, maybe it's an every five year mating ritual. Who knows? I'm like, okay.

Or maybe it's because the weather is so weird that they're like, Let's get out of dodge before the tornadoes that came in with the eight inch hail, you know, and and all that crazy stuff. So Do you have reports that happen where one Sasquatch can create a lot of commotion in like a town and then it's the same s squatch that's just

Messy. Going rogue. Rogue swatches. Yeah, that what that happens. You've talked to Tom Seawood, you know. Oh yeah. I talked to him too. He's a great guy. Um so I'm thinking of I was talking to my buddy Steve Culls the other day. And he was telling me about how back in the early two thousands there was a

lot of sightings of a similar Sasquatch over there in Whitehall, New York, which is a super active area. He's kind of the expert over there. Um, but that's kind of why this is unique too, because it's like you look at the map and you can literally follow the route as it goes along. It's just it's just super, super weird, unique. Um

You know, some people get really into it and they are like plotting out on a map like, Okay, this happens this time of year, this this year. And so you're seeing maybe certain ones show up in certain areas of the US. On this year or this year, but like to see it all together like this, very unique. And Jeremy, I found following here. It's like there's like three brown sightings, what they're considered brown and three that were

Probably black. There's a black there's a black shadow, right? That could be, I guess, either or, but you have this mix. Are they following a trail? Like a a route that that would would be something that would make sense? Like um So Luke, fantastic question. Yes, yes. You you absolutely have it. So this I've talked to a few people in the email about this and A lot of locals are reaching out to me and they're like, dude, the pattern that people aren't realizing yet is that this kind of follows.

Um the Mahoning River corridor. So it's kinda like following a river. And that's not from my research. That's just from different individuals that have told me that from the area. So, you know. Uh, take that, you know, look into it as well yourself. But that's kind of a a pattern of like it's following a river corridor system in a way.

Which makes sense what you do as an animal or a or or a person. You know, you're you follow the water. Follow the creeks just like the Boggy Creek. No redheads out there. No redheads? No red ones? Uh well I mean re uh yeah, there's like uh Rust Rusty, the Lake Milton one. Not that he's called rusty, but maybe kick those ones out right away. They just get oxygen. Ginger's out of here. Yeah. They're the most beautiful. The one that the woman saw.

In Alaska is she was not a red squatch. He was a beautiful red squatch. I think we all know. A beautiful red squatch. That's great. So Jeremiah, let me let me ask you this. So the the last sighting that you have on your on this list that we just talked about was in on the tenth. And as we see here it is

Friday the thirteenth. Oh. Interesting. Anything you got anything pop up in your inbox? You got any any anything from the site? Um You know, moving more in this direction, which seems to be what is it, uh southeast?

Uh Easterly, is that correct? Is it moving southeasterly? Um, is you know, is there anything has anything popped up and to you? What what's the latest breaking on this? I know you're doing around doing some of the rounds on uh on some of these these big media sites talking about the story, but You know, we're probably what do we sit three days out from the last

Yeah, anything anything new or anything? So yeah, a little bit of explanation there about why there has been almost like there were videos a lot and stuff going on and now there's not. What's going on? So that's that is a question that needs to be addressed. So You know, if it's ancient times and you're looking good, maybe you have a coat of many colors back in the Bible times. Where would you get one today, Luke? Well unless you're Bigfoot and you grow your own cashmere sweater.

Quinn's is the place. They got everyday essentials that we love with quality at last. I'm actually wearing a Quinn's shirt right now. Let's look at that. These things have survived a number of washes, they don't shrink. It's premium. Premium material. They've got light cashmere sweaters, short sleeved Mongolian cashmere polos, linen bottoms and shorts, tees in 100% pima cotton and European jersey linen. I got the 100% Pima cotton here.

Fully cottonized, Nate. The cashmere is a hundred percent Mongolian, the same stuff that luxury brands use. Quins works directly with top factories that meet high standards for craftsmanship and ethical production, cutting out the middlemen so you get the deal. Cashmere, silk, organic cotton. Real peace is not

That feel good, last long, and don't make your bank account cry for help. So stop overcomplicating your wardrobe this spring.

When this first started out, uh there was an individual that reached out from the area And his name is uh is Glenn Adkins with the Ohio Squatch Project local guy. And uh thirty thirty year veteran uh with the Sasquatch research. Uh he was a protege of Robert W. Morgan, which if you're a Bigfoot nerd, you get how big a deal that is.

Um and so right away we have spent hours on the phone since the six and Talking through through what is going to be best in this situation is We decided that if because there's hundreds coming in, so I'm I'm having to weed through them all and then call people that feel where it's legit. And then what I'm doing is I'm giving the information over to Glenn if they want to be contacted so that investigation

can happen in an area without the waters being muddied because I made a video about it and then everyone's like, Oh yeah, I saw it there too. So so it's it's kind of transitioning from a thing where We wanna make sure that the right research is happening and that might make

the the news cycle not be as amazing, but the main goal is to figure out what's going on here, you know. So I didn't I haven't thought about that, Jeremiah, because you know, as this becomes gets more and more momentum and conversation. the likelihood that you get hoaxes or people just calling in to prank et cetera i is very high, right? Because everybody kinda wants to get a piece of

of this. And so you've got yeah, as a as you know, as a scientist, which is people may they'd be like it's Bigfoot, but

You know, people that treat this subject matter, this space is a scientific scientifically, so that there's credibility, right? So this is the whole point to a lot of this. Um you have to treat these reports like like a skeptic and also like a scientist and and and verify them and I think You know, to your point that becomes i increasingly difficult as this story gains momentum because in the age we're in, people wanna

Want to troll, they want to get a lot of things. They just want that that light. Yeah. Um and so, you know, I've ta I've talked I've had over a thousand episodes on Bigfoot Society. So the way I'm I'm looking at it through the lens of like, okay, I know how a person communicates when they have had an experience. It's different than a person is where it's like, oh hey

It was such a fun time. Like it's different, right? It's it's usually way different. So that has those hours and hours and hours of interviewing people have really paid off in the last few days, uh, big time. So

That's awesome. So yeah, when's when's the last time this something like this happened? Uh literally, uh if if we're looking at like when it was well The equivalent nate I would think would be nineteen seventy eight because All the flaps were happening all over the US. You can pretty much look in any state in the US in nineteen seventy eight and there's massive Bigfoot activity and they recall flaps. And that's when you had, you know,

And uh when I say flap, I'm like, you know how John Keel used to go around and document everything and like Mothman and Bigfoot and all that good stuff. But we're talking about Bigfoot specifically. Now there have been, as I mentioned before, like, you know, Steve Cole's, there was a little group of around I think five or six over by Whitehall. But if we're talking about something where it got like really intense and like

The whole I mean, right now it's international news. Like the whole world is looking at what's going on in Ohio. And uh I would say the late seventies is the last time. So our generation of big footers have never experienced anything like this before. Wow. You think other wild. Jeremy, other than like them like moving let's just let's just say this is uh

This is not this is not a a natural thing. We're just and we're looking at something that sort of is a an an abnormal it seems abnormal, at least from the reporting since the since the seventies. Although, you know, based on what we've heard on the show, you know, a lot of

Setbatch are pretty re pretty remote. Like to be left alone for the most part. Uh and they so these things could happen in theory be happening in other places. They could be moving like this, but as far as documented since the seventies You know, well other than like a weather thing, is there any other does anyone have any other hypothesis on why this is happening or why people are ha are in

Why this is true exactly. Yeah. There is one that freaks me out a a lot as a midwesterner. And that is uh uh few people have been like, Well maybe it's the fault line by Illinois, that's that's due to go anytime. And I'm like, dude, don't even like say that because like if that happens, I was done. Like I'm see you later, you know? Well, it's heaven time, really. So

That's cool. But uh You get you get to get all your questions answered. That's the one positive, right? That is really true, yeah. Are you going out? That's the one other thing that's come up, Luke. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's it's interesting. And and so what I'm reading on your side here, and and I'll and I'll I know you say this anyway, but just for people listening, mm, that based on the trajectory, you're you're guessing that approximat they're moving about approximately three miles a day.

and that since this last and the tenth that the West Branch State Park, the Lordstown Corridor, and Milton Township would have been in the range in the last few days for Sightings, encounters, um, vocalizations, et cetera, sort of any any sort of any sort of activity. Sure. Um But what are you what are you telling people out there to to do if they've had an encounter, are you telling to reach out to the Yeah to the site or are they to

You know, what what's the best way can just for someone to report this and and not have it get lost in you know, you I watch too listen, I l I'm I'm big like true crime, Netflix, watch the the murder dog. I always call the murder shows, right? But

You realize then that when they when there are big crimes, you people get thousands of tips, right? And and the job the job of an investigator detective is to like Some of these big high profile stuff with Elizabeth Smart, whatever it is, these big kidnapping cases, there's like thousands upon thousands of quote tips that come in and the job of the investigators is to try to figure out what is real.

Um so Or they send those if if they get it's a great question, man. Um because yeah, at this point and We don't know when it's gonna stop. And that's the thing, right? Um, which kind of freaks me out a lot. Um so uh you know if you're wanting to report it to Bigfoot Society directly, you can my email is bigfootsocietygmail.com. There are other uh organizations that I'll throw out that are are great researchers. I mean you've got the BFRO, you can go to BFRO.net.

you can go to uh woodape.org, which is the N A W A C guys out of Southeast Oklahoma, but they have researchers all over the US. Uh you have uh uh Bigfoot mapping project if you want to report it somewhere as well. Uh but if you're trying to be like, uh, I kinda want someone to ha check this out. Uh, those would be some great options. And I apologize. I might be leaving someone out and I and it's that's not on purpose. So yeah.

That's how it is. Too much Bigfoot on the brain. Oh, nice, Nate. You can't can't keep it all That's right. I mean those stories get lost too. I mean you you get'em all day long. Um it's gonna happen. Yeah.

So what do you think what do you think is coming next? Is it gonna ramp up or is it gonna slow down or are they they moving on? They're heading to Florida? Where are they going? Um I think there's some really interesting investigation going on right now that will be really interesting and Do some really uh I'm just I can't really it's gonna get weird. It's really gonna get weird, guys. Um and and I don't wanna be that guy, but I just like If we're gonna keep things

The r the investigation pure I really can't s but there is stuff that's being actively looked at by people right now in this area that is still happening. So it's not like it's just like, oh, off switch. No, it's just it's kind of in the background for a little bit. So um I think that You know, I I've talked to people um A lot of researchers from the area. Um, I think um my friend uh Ashley uh Ashers was saying, you know, this this can happen some years because

Uh if you follow when the mushrooms come into season, that can bring it. So that's it in that's kind of interesting to think about, right? So there's all these like the thing is that the information is not in all one area and it's like

Y you have to get some from this guy and from this guy and like figure out what's happening. But yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Some people are like, Well maybe they're going to spring break in Lake Milton, but you know, That's funny. I tried I try to get this crazy Lady that picks mushrooms to come on the show and she years ago she wouldn't do it, but she had all these wild They're fun to talk to encounters out there. Bigfoot's just tripping out in the woods, just doesn't know where he is.

I mean Jeremiah, my qu my one of my final questions on this one is Luzi is is like what convinces you this that this is legit and not um this just sort of not a coincidental string of of reports. I mean,'cause you what what people will say, right? Initially people will say this is this is ridiculous, this is misidentification or they're saying Like a lot of people will say in spaces like ours.

is oh you're just finding a straight line and connect it where you want to, right? Um the this this is just, you know.

You're looking at at a at a coincidence and a bunch of missifications that happen to draw a semi straight line. Like what what what wh how are you convinced and what convinced you this is something that's real that's really happening? So what convinced it for me and this is where I have had some really interesting conversations over the years with different individuals that look at this different ways, which is great because conversations like that are uh healthful for healthy for everyone and

What what did it for me was when I started to talk to the the witnesses over the phone and There was visceral response in a way that I haven't heard since I've been able to uh interview people face to face in Oak Ridge, Oregon and the Willamette National Forest. And I was like, there was just something there I was like. These people are going through it. They definitely saw something and they are freaked out of their mind. So

For me as a person who is focusing on the human experience and helping the people, uh, the witnesses work through their trauma, that is really what I focus on. I know there's other investigators that are like, show me tracks and I I wish we could find some uh really good track photos and and there might be some out there that I just haven't seen yet. I mean, there's so much So much to this that I'm I'm not keeping like the story is living on its own now. And there are

Bigfoot researcher groups from all parts of the nation gathered in this one area. And like it is gonna be the story is gonna take years to unravel of what really happened in Portage and Trumbull County in twenty twenty six. Well palpable fear. So you say you're like you say you say these people like they experienced something that like that legitimately scared them.

I've I haven't seen it since Oregon. Well how much do you think it's just gives people permission to talk about it if it's like everyone's seeing the Ohio squash? It's like they feel like they come out versus like maybe Bigfoot's. Always up to something, but people just don't feel compelled to tell their encounter story.

So I think, Nate, that that's something that's actually been happening over the last few years and a lot of us in the community have been trying to figure it out if it's a thing where just because there's more Bigfoot podcasts that are in the limelight that people feel because there is a lot coming out. And so is it that they feel empowered? Or is it at the point where people are like, I have nothing left to lose and we're in a crazy spot as a world. I need to share this and just

Let's have fun guys, you know, and like get the truth out. I think it's a combination to be honest. Or if it just feels like it's ticking up and more people are coming then Then I feel, Oh yeah, I can talk about this. I'm kinda riding with you though, Jeremiah. I think that like

Well we've seen the show, right? And we cover a lot of things, not just the Bigfoot space. Not as much as we did at the beginning either, right? Uh right. Right. But I think a lot of I think things like what everyone went through collectively in twenty twenty. has opened a lot of people's eyes to to hey listen, if this can happen, then a lot of these things that people talk about maybe, you know, are are legit and not just relegated to the realm of conspiracy. And and I think

There's always that meme that says like conspiracy theorists are about in a thousand, right? Like that, you know, when you get when you need to apologize to your conspiracy theorist friend, et cetera. Um and maybe there's some of that going into play too, where people are like, look, you know, the things that we were told to not look at

Not believe and and to sweep under the rug. Um maybe there's a lot more legitimacy to what what's going on here. And yeah, yeah. They're they're ready to talk for sure. And I think But it you know, you kinda bring up a good point there, which is at this point where everyone knows what's going on and it is all over the news, there This is why like

Y the investigation really needs to start to happen because there are probably people out there that are I mean, they're putting up Bigfoot signs and they're wearing Bigfoot costumes. And I would recommend guys, do not do that, please. For safety. Don't do it.

Yeah, someone someone out there has a gun and has their thirty thirty and they're like, I'm gonna bag this guy's gonna be a good thing. Well we know. So we know Ohio is a very haunted place, a very place full of mounds. Is there anything associated with all the other creepy stuff that goes on in Ohio with Bigfoot sightings, you think?

It's just like the ancient times, Luke. The tech is getting crazy. It's like we're at the Tower of Babel again. Satellites, cars driving themselves. But somehow, with all this tech.

Um so i is there are there other big facings in Ohio? Well I just I just we know like Fritz Zimmerman came on and talked about ancient mounds. And he he he specifically has a theory that these mounds sort of manufacture cryptid creatures, which is a wild idea, but um That's a long full episode if you want to. So I'll I'll tell you something. Um this actually isn't out yet, but I was talking to an individual from down in Adams County, which is southern Ohio by the Ohio River, by the mounds, and

I was like, I actually brought that up. I was like, does this have anything to do with the mounds? And he's like, well, actually, I was going to the mounds and there's a gift shop there. And lo and behold, there was a worker there and we got talking about Bigfoot and

She was like, I got bigfoot on my home property. I've had investigators out three times and like she's working at the mounds place. I mean, it's crazy, you know? But that southern Ohio is bonkers as well. I mean, really the whole state. If you look on BFRO or Bigfoot Mapping Project or Bigfoot Society. uh sighting map. I mean, Ohio is is crazy when it comes to reports. They want to be number one, Jeremiah. They want to be the number one Bigfoot.

And Oregon and Washington, that could be it hard to get past them, but they're pretty much a little bit more. They got a pretty good stranglehold on that. But where'd we go? The great the great Sasquash migration of twenty twenty six is underway. We're in the middle of it. Jeremiah Byron Bay puts the screen. Just add it to the list of weird things that have already happened. So what's coming? Are the are the squash coming out of the woods and this is the this is their year?

Oh boy. I I guess so, dude. I I don't even want to think about what might be happening in the P and W when I go out there later, man. Could get wild. Any other states like hot or just Ohio? I've been hearing Um, so right now my focus is so like It is a thousand percent on Ohio, as you can guess, right? I've been hearing little whisperings where people are starting to say like, Oh, well a lot of weird stuff's happening in Tennessee with Bigfoot too. Like over in um

You know, like was it called like middle central, like Salina County? You know that area? Yeah. And so I haven't been able to verify that, but I find it interesting that I'm starting to hear it from different places. People are like, We're seeing'em a lot more. So I don't I don't know guys. There could be something else going on, but right now it's it's so high over bust, man. If it gets hot here, come on down. We'll go out, we'll knock on some doors. We'll we've got we've got a very

We've got a l we've got a ginger we can use as bait. Yeah. And uh he's he's he's he's willing, he's willing and able. There you go. It'd just be me and a family of red squatches and Luke would have to you'd be gone. I'd be like, How do I carry this blurry torch? Nate's found his people. Yeah. Right. They're all there. We just didn't see'em. Well, Jeremiah, thanks, man. It's it's wild. Um and tell our listeners where

They can hang out with you and get real deep in the Bigfoot trenches. Oh yeah, absolutely.

Because we'll we'll you have. You have actually. You sent us new things. Yeah, I was I was I was looking for your email and I'm like, this is this is in your wheelhouse, not mine. And we're like Yeah. Well thank you, sir. Yeah. Exactly, dude. You were True. We we're looking for giant encounters. If you've got a giant encounter. Send them our way. There is there is a lot of of those happening too. I you know, it's just Oh really? It's just getting weird. Yeah. I mean

A a lot is a relative term for Nathan Henry. There's There's more than zero. So that would be that would be a lot of giant encounters. Yeah. So I just truly paranormal activity seems to be on the rise in terms of just the overall gauge of messages. Other people posting stuff. It just seems like it It's pretty heavy for some reason. And I don't know if

You could look at it so many it's it's all what your worldview is. Is it is it the end times or is it because the Schumann resonance is going crazy and the veil is getting thinner? It all depends on what your worldview is, I guess. But yes and Um it I'm not a expert on it, but it's called the Schumann resonance, I think, and it's it's this graph you can see, and if it's like a certain color, then it's like, uh oh, things are gonna get weird. So I don't know.

I'm just a big foot guy, Nate, so Well if they turn if that if that migration route turns to Iowa You may have a lot more on your hands. It'll be the field of dreams out there. I will be. Oh man, wouldn't it though? I'm proud of you. I mean maybe they're just like you built big for society, so here we come. Hey, this is rad too, because we kinda started our pods at around the same time and it's been cool to be like alongside you. And you've been crushing it.

Working hard, you're a solo man out there on the Bigfoot Trail and you Yes, sir. You pushed through all the adversity to keep going and you did it. We're proud of you. We're fans, dude. We're big fans of your work, bro. Thank you guys. Likewise, my friends. Yeah. And it all started with Bigfoot Podcast. It wouldn't be the blurry without someone out there. You know, Sasquatch Chronicles was was pumping out stuff long before everybody. Yeah, Wes is Wes is a OG. I mean, without without Wes, I mean

Who does it? OG, dude. Yeah. Well, I like it. Maybe what's the weirdest Bigfoot story to end this for you? Over a thousand episodes. I will share the weirdest Bigfoot story? I'll share a favorite. And my listeners are gonna be like, I know which one. Um But here we go. So you know Mount Hood out in Oregon? I've climbed it twice. You've climbed Mount Hood? Twice, dude. My dude. Okay, wow. Uh drop of the hat like

That's amazing. Yeah, and let me if you will let me real quick, I climbed it twice with an organization that's now called Atlas Free. And we did to raise money to to combat human trafficking and support safe houses and curriculum for those that are trafficked out of there and

Actually that's how we end up meeting the folks from Duck Dynasty climbed with John Luke Robertson and that's that turned into something, you know, on our end super cool. But yeah, let me tell you I l I know this place very well. You know it's good. Yeah. Yeah. So the we one of the weirdest stories, and I've got a lot of weird stuff, that the weirdest Bigfoot story I've gotten was an individual was out there camping with his buddy at a campsite a little outside of Mount Hood.

It's nighttime, they have a glow stick out, they're messing around. They walk over to this creek area, w throw the glow stick down at the creek. And they're like, oh man, I really want that glow stick back. I gotta get it back. So they go and look over, see where it is. They see something.

That's large, some dark creature on the ground. And they're like, is that a cougar? And then all of a sudden the cougar turns into something like it stands up on its two legs and it's like eight to nine feet tall at least. But then here's where it gets super weird is That Bigfoot or whatever's or giant or whatever, I'm gonna go with Bigfoot, it turns into a cloud of misty fog, and then it goes over the creek and just

You know the smoke monster from Lost. That's what I that's what I think we're dealing with the visual there. But that's one of the weirdest thing. And the the weird thing is is that I've also heard of that happening in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. And that was an interview that happened the day after the Mount Hood interview. So that person would not have been able to hear the Mount Hood interview. And it was a weird synchronicity, dudes. Wow. Wow. Yeah.

So what did they get the clothes stick back? How does it does it end happy? Um, no, they were freaked out of their mind and uh never went back again type deal. Yeah. Leave the gl leave the glow stick wherever. Yeah, leave the glow stick, guys. Yeah. I mean That's like the the mist, the the the shekina, dude, the the the cloud. Very very biblical. Except that's the with God himself and then It's not

A story that you didn't scratch your head when you read that in the Bible. Like what is what is that like? There's also the movie called Gorillas in the Mist. Oh, there you go. Yeah, sure. Sure. Maybe that's what I'm saying. I got injured playing that at a youth group. By the way. You did what? We played Gorillas in the Mist and they fogged the whole youth group room and you had to run from one side to the other. Some

I went to the E R room that clothes lined and someone clotheslined me. I split my head up. Stupidest stupidest game. You were the kid that got hurt. Some some guy was running full speed through that that room. Better suits than suits. That would have been me. In a monkey suit, of all things. Not that meat. No.

And that would have hit me. Anyway, gorillas in the mist. I don't know. That's wild. I love that dude. Thank you. I've been spent a lot of time at Mount Hood. I could see the place is a little is different. Oh, and if I could do a uh so if people like w reading stuff like that, I have a sighting map on my website, Bigfoot Society Podcast dot com. I have over a thousand weird reports like that where you can click on the pin.

Read the report and then go to the episode to hear the interview. So let's go. If you like that, get right into it. Thanks, dude. This has been a Bigfoot update with Byron. Mm. No appreciate it, man. Thank you. And uh keep going out there, keep Keep it squatchy. I will dude. Thanks, guys. IO Bigfoot migration. Heck yeah. O-H-I-O. Yeah. See ya later.
