Everybody. How's it going? Welcome to another video. We've got another interview here with Old Bearskin of Bigfoot out of West Virginia. I've got him on the line. How's it going, man, it's going pretty good. You were telling me a little bit of what y'all were doing this morning. You're staying busy up there. Old bears down a Bigfoot has got a YouTube channel. I'm gonna link it below for everybody to go over and check his videos
out. And I'm really I love them. I've been watching when I can most of his videos, and I really enjoyed the way he tells the stories. And there are a lot of stories from your friends, aren't they? Um, yeah, they're They're from the truck drivers that I know, and uh, a lot of truck drivers I don't know. I give a lot of stories from here in West Virginia too. Oh good deal. Now these uh just over the road drivers. Are they co haulers or I mean,
do you have a friendship we all hauling something specific? Oh? No, no, Usually I get stories when I go out West, down South and stuff haul. Uh. I used to haul a couple of different things, carbon and plastic. Now I haulster plastic. Oh okay, I'm West Virginia. I'm thinking you're calling you're hauling coal. That's I guess a stereotype jum story. But you you have a YouTube channel, do you want to talk
about that first? Just kind of tell us what your you know, what your goals are, and what you concentrate on, because I think we would have the same audience and people. People might like to come over and check out your channel. Don't you tell us about your channel? Well? On my channel, I typically have stories of bigfoot that are aggressive towards human you know, mankind, and they seem to and that's kind of my benche.
I get aggressive stories all the time, you know where big foot might you know, smick the house and the story trees or stuffing around the home, or be looking in on the people in the home and stuff like that. And I want to get that information out there because of when I was a kid. I've seen a big foot at age sixteen, and I went from a chance meeting to an aggressive thing and it just kind of spiled from that point. And plus my wife and my best friends they helped me with you
know the channel, they do things for me. My wife usually runs the camera and my buddy has seen Dick that he's dealt with them pretty much all his life. And that's how we got started. Wow, that's interesting. Well, you said you've had an encounter, and that's kind of what these interviews are about. Do you want to just start at the beginning. And you told me before we started you've had I think you said five encounters through your life. You want to start at the beginning and just go from there.
Yeah. Sure. The first one when I was sixteen years old. It was the last day of deer season here in west in West Virginia. It was a pretty warm day. I mean the temperatures were up in the sixties. Usually our deer seasons the highest forty forty two. And you're lucky if you get that by that time of the year because it's in December. And my dad letting me go by myself. I was sixteen. I had a license, and I went a mile out the rich from where we part
and it was in the afternoon. It was around two or tween two and two thirty when I got there. I sent there for probably half an hour, and I heard some deer running my way. And these three days ran out from behind out of the holler. I was near the head of Hollid and at the head of Hollid there was two little splinter hallows that come meet up at the head of Hollid and they came out, and as they came out, they were running. They stopped. They were breathing heavy. You
could tell they'd been running quite a ways. And finally, after about thirty seconds or so, they took off again. And I could hear something coming out of the small holler off to my left, and I could hear grunts, and I thought it was a coming out, you know that the time of the year that they're meeting Timon. You know, I was probably and Osbal was a kid at that age you know about there, never had heard
of the big Foot. I'd seen Boggy Creek the year before as a kid, and uh, you know, my dad just kind of looked at me when we watched the movie. He watched it with me and my younger brother, and he looked at me, said all these things, that's that's that he don't worry about it. And I never thought nothing about them. Well, and the noise kept getting closer and closer than there was a big boulder there off to my left. It was about seven seven a half foot tall,
and uh, this thing came. It stopped behind the boulder, and the noise, you know, the football stopped and then started again, and it came off behind the boulder and was watching the way the deer went and it kind of stood there for probably five ten seconds, and then turned and looked right at me and kind of had a surprise put its face. It looked more human in the face than it did than it would you look like an ape or something, but it was hair covered from top its head down
to its shoulders. There was no hair on its face. It just kind of looked at me, surprised, and then it kind of started bearing its
teeth and growling at me and took a step towards me. And when it took a step towards me, I had already raised my wife up, thinking it was a deer going step out, and I had a model lunge full Winchester, and I just cicked the hammerback and when I clicked the hammerback, it stopped growling, and it looked at me and kind of was looking for a way to get out, and it took off run and it spun around and took off, running back up behind the bolt, and I never could
see it, and the hole and counter probably last probably a couple of minutes from the time it walked out till it disappeared. And I got up and went to leave, and I got to the road to go back out to the truck where my dad was hunting out back out the ridge, and it screamed, you know it without a big scream, and I kind of did my best impression of an Olympic Olympic walker to get back. I'm sorry, I'm laughing. I can just see you. I can see you doing the
speed walk out of the woods. That's great. Well, it's kind of funny because I've never been a little kid. I was never a little I was a big kid. When mom, mom and dad brought me home from the hospital, they said I should have been able to walk when I was born, just by the size I was right well up. So that wasn't a necessarily a violent encounter. Did you tell anybody when you got home?
How did it go? What was the aftermath? Like? Well, I ran into my dad going back out the ridge, and the moment he looked at me, he said, what's the matter. And I said that I don't want to talk about it. I said that I want to go home. And he said, all right. You know, he hadn't seen any to hear, and he was like, that's fine, we'll go home. You know, you don't want to hunt. You know, we'll go home.
Son, that's no big deal. We got loaded up in the truck and you know, all the way out the ridge, he kind of looked at me, and I was kind of in shock, I guess, and you know, I had a strange look on my face, and my dad kept asking me, and you know, he asked me probably six or seven times, and uh, finally I looked at him and I had tears in my eyes and I said that I really I don't know how to explain this to you. He just kind of looked at me and he said, Son,
you're my boy. Tell me, you know, just tell just tell you, your old man. What's what's wrong? What did somebody came out there and say something to you? Did somebody try to irm you? What went on? And I and I finally just bluttered out I saw a back foot and he just kind of looked at me, real strange, and he said, Son, you mean them things. He watched the movie last year and I was like, yeah, Dad, that one of those. He's like, son, I told you those are not real. And I said,
Dad, they are real. I just saw one. I don't lie to you. Dad. He said, no, You've never lied to me. He said, you know the consequences if you lie. And I Dad, I don't lie to Hugh because you know, you're my dad. And he just kind of looked at me. He said, son, He said, all right, I believe you. You know, tell me what happened. And I told him the full story and told him everything that you know,
what went on. He's like, well, don't tell you mom and your grandmother because if you do, they'll never let us go hunting again. Yeah. Yea. And I never told my mom or my grandmother, never said a word to him, never taught to anybody else about it, just
to my dad. You know. I got an older brother and a younger brother and never told them, never said anything to my sister buddies at school, just kind of kept it in and it kind of affected me to the point where it kind of I withdrew from other people they were and it just it just it turned my life upside down. Yeah, I bet it did. And that's just from seeing one from seeing him step out like he did. But that wasn't your Is that the well? I mean, the first
is usually the premier encounter. You know, most people only have one, but you've had others. And how how did that progress? Keep? Everybody was gonna want to know everything, so you might as well just go ahead and give it up. What happened was was, you know, after I got out of high school, and you know, I kind of started digging
into the subject that they put back then. And this was back in the middle eighties, is when I nineteen eighty four is when I seen this, And from that point on I cast started digging into them, trying to find out what they were, you know, going through the polity and making a lot of mistakes, you know, going out at night looking for him, trying to listen for him, trying to make wood knocks and stuff like that, and lousy bigfoot calls and so for probably so the time I was probably
thirty six. You know, I made a lot of mistakes as an investigator, I guess you could call it, you know, doing investigation. And finally I started talking to people and getting their stories about Bigfoot, you know, from around here in the mountains of West Virginia. And then when I started driving truck, I would, you know, kind of try to slip
Bigfoot into the conversation. Sometimes I'd get laughed at. Sometimes I'd get guys that would come up to me and tell me, yeah, I've seen one, and they would tell me their story, and I'd write them down and I kept them over the years, and that's where a lot of the stories come from today, is that I that I put out already have came from notes taken back then and long descriptive notes of what happened to the person and what went on. And that's where most of my first few stories came from.
But I get them all the time now. The second Bigfoot that I saw, I was in North Carolina doing an interview with a lady that's on our disc that I have a discord channel, and we talk about Bigfoot. Now, I bring stories that I get from on the road into that channel and we talk about them, we discuss them, and that's where yeah, I kind of like let them hear the story and them kind of approved of the story, and then put on YouTube. All right, Wait, a
minute. I'm sorry to stop you, and I know it's rude, but tell me again what the channel is. I wasn't clear on what is it? Something other people go ahead. Discord is like a voice channel. Okay, you can create you can you can download the Discord app and create a channel. It's a voice channel you can make up where people can post things on there, you know, or you know, it's kind of like texting almost on somebody you and then you have channels that it's a it's an extension
of your channel that you can do voice chats and stuff like that. Okay, I've I've got people in there from all over the US, the West, the northwest, northeast, South. I've even got a guy on there that's from Australia. That's a good source for That's a good source for stories, isn't it. Yeah? It helps, I mean, you know,
and and it helps quite a bit. And you know, most of these people know quite a bit of out big Foot or the Yallei and we talked about it and we discussed you know, the story on that channel, and it's it's a lot of fun. We have. We have we have a ball on Saturday nights on that channel and anybody can come in and and sit in and listen and ask questions and Okay, well, I didn't mean to sidetrack you there, but I may start jumping in on Saturday. What time
do y'all do it on Saturday, it's usually nine o'clock Eastern. Nine o'clock eastern. I'm gonna write that down and try to try to start an account and see if I can jump in with y'all. But I'm sorry I sidetracked you. So you were coming up on your second encounter. Yeah, anyway, I was in North Carolina doing an interview with one of the ladies and that's on my Discord channel, and this is on Friday night, and we've done the interview on Saturday night because it was a live interview, and I've
done it live on YouTube. We were sitting there on Friday night and she's very afraid of being outside at night because big Foot. She has a clan of Bigfoot that are kind of like living around her home. And she's not out in the middle of nowhere. There's other houses close to her. They're not on top of her, but there's a lot of you know, there's houses around her. And we were. I got up and went to go walk over to my truck. Just happened to catch something out of the corner
of my eye that that brought my attention to. There's there's a stand of bamboo behind her house and look and took a little flashlight and just shined it and there was eyeshine right there. And the eyes shine wouldn't have been a person because it wasn't nowhere near a person's height. And I know, you know, over the years, I know what a tune's eyes looks like, and I know what apostle looks like or anything that would be out at night, and I know what a big foot looks like, and I know where
their eyeshine is. And there was a big foot standing there right listening to Okay, I showed I said something too, because my wife was with me, and I said, honey, I said, you want to see a bit, but come over and look, and I showed her what it looked like. You know, where was that? And she stood there and she's like, it's just standing there watching us, And that's what it was doing. It was just standing there listening, listening to us. The three of
us sit outside at night and talk that's all it was doing. It was intrigued, I guess it finally just kind of turned and walked away through the band. Bog had never never done anything. And that's pretty much the second one that I saw. That's a Now is that your Is that your wife's first first encounter? Yes, her first encounter would be kind of like she overheard she heard one here near our home. That would be the first inkling
that she had that there are big foot around our home. But it's like when she when y'all were at when y'all saw that those eyes out in that cane, you Uh, it kind of sealed it forward, didn't it. Yeah. Yeah, she didn't seek too good that night either. She she stayed awake. Man, I would just freak out. I would, absolutely it would. I don't know what I think. I really don't know what I think. Um. So that was pretty much the end of that one.
No, no problems with that bigfoot or anything. All right, that's interesting. Well, keep keep keep us, keep us going here. I know you got more to come. The third one was the very next day, I sent my wife with the lady that had done the interview sentence to the store. I wanted to find out where these big foot were hanging out at around her hall. So I went to go look for footprints stuff of that nature, you know, maybe find some hair, find tree brakes or
xes and other markers of big foot. Well I found them, or at least I found the females. I went back through the bamboo behind her home and there's there's some pretty dense woods behind behind the bamboo. And was out there walking around and the only thing I had on me was a machette had on my hip, you know, to cut through the bamboo and stuff. Went back down the right side of her home and went through there and went looking through the woods and found some tree bows and some axes and stuff like
that that bigfoot is known to do. Kind of hung a laugh, and went over to this really thick area. Didn't see anything, didn't hear nothing. There weren't any birds singing or any chipmunks, you know, making their little squeaks and running around, and there wasn't no squirrels around. I was like, well, there's something wrong year. So I kind of got the
feeling like maybe I shouldn't be there, and left. Was actually had put my back to this really thick area and started walking out, and I heard something behind me, and it was a lot of noise, and I turned around and looked and there was this female big foot on all fours running at me. Oh man, well, I didn't I didn't have my typical side arm that I usually carry with me. And you know, I don't want
to heart one. I don't want to have to shoot one. But if it means it dying or me dying, I'm gonna shoot, then I'm gonna get out of dodge quick as I can. But she ran up probably within she kind of barling out that brush and and god, probably within twenty yards of me. It's probably around sixty feet away. And I hallowed at her and she stopped, and when she did that, she just kind of stayed
on all fours and just looked at me. I started backing up and talking to her and telling her, hey, I ain't trying to cause no trouble. Just leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. We won't have to get into an argument about this. And I backed up away from her, and she finally kind of untensed up and just turned around and walked out on all fours, back over into the brush. And soon as I got far
enough away, I didn't think that she would hear me run off. I took off running and got down to the house and didn't say nothing to my wife or the other lady. They got back probably ten minutes after I got back to the house, and we carried in groceries and my wife kind of looked at me funny. She said, why are you sweating so much? I said, I can't lie to my wife. That's not a good thing to ever do, and finally told her, and she just kind of looked
at me real funny and said, why do you take chances? And I said, it's just you know, it's just me, honey, you know that. And we kind of after it at that, and I didn't take any more chance, so I stay away from you know, I tried not to get into that situation again. I'm curious. And you may have said and I may have missed it, but this was a pretty much up close look at this female. Right. Can you describe for people the appearance that you saw. Can you describe what she looked like? Yeah, she was
I would say she was down all fours and she had long arms. Her back wasn't arched, you know, she kept it straight back. She was hair covered, but you could see, you know, her breast singing down from what I was looking at. She was hair covered from top of her head down. She was a sandy blonde caller. You could tell it. She was just maybe like a twenty something, you know, like a twenty one or twenty two year old girl. And and she wasn't big and bulky,
you know, like the males that I have seen. She wasn't like that. She was kind of slim and just like I said, just like a twenty one or twenty year old girl that you know, you would run into out in a you know, out of the grocery store or something of that nature, at the library or whatever. Sure, I understand, but her hips were wide. She may have had a young one already. I don't know, because I never saw any young ones, you know, back
there. But she definitely didn't like the idea of me being around. She just kind of, you know, it was in tent on getting me out of there. She didn't really want a confrontation, but she didn't want me there either, right. You know. She had a long hair that off the top of her head that went down onto her bike a little bit and it's kind of hung down on sides, off her shoulders, big long hands. The skin on her hands were not dark, they were kind of like
a light brown. Her face was a light brown, and she had more human type features on her face because her nose wasn't It's kind of like you take the end of your nose and just kind of like smash it down a little bit, and that's the way her nose look. You know, her eyes were probably a couple of inches maybe three inches between her eyes. I mean, she just looked like a normal young big foot. I mean,
that's that's all I can say. I mean, there's not really you know, there's nothing you can compare them to in the human world because they don't look like so her face. You know, whenever someone talk, you get these images in your head of what I mean, I have images in my head or what these things could look like in the face, and I have a like a you know how the gorilla, you know, the from his nose down his mouth and jaws kind of jut out a little bit, and
they have that large upper lip, and they have long canines. And I doubt you saw her teeth, but or did you, Yeah, I saw her teeth, they were just like the typical big teeth that you would see on like a horse. But do you know what I'm talking about, how the gorilla's mouth kind of protruded, protrudes, But it's not like that, is it? No, it's it's they don't have a big long it's not a protruding mouth. It's it's it's flat like a human. There is a
little bit more space between where their nose is and their lips are. But they are kind of like a flat set of lips. I mean, they're not big, old, puffy lips or anything like that. They're just tin And you know, she had some wrinkling on her face, but not a lot, not like the big males that I've seen. Right, How about her head and neck? It is there no neck or does you know the
shoulders just come up to the head. It looks like they're it looks like almost like if you just if you would draw like scenery and just put like a little heel on a in the middle of a picture, that's pretty much weave. Their head looks like it just like it comes up and then goes over and then down the other side. And it's because of their muscle structure on the that comes up from their shoulders and it goes up and it connects to some of their head on the back. I understand exactly. I'm sorry
to be detailed in some of these questions. And I know you probably get asked this a lot, but people listening are gonna want They're just gonna want to know what. All right, Well, and you say her skin was brown. I get a lot of reports that there that their skin is gray. You think that's an age thing. No, because I've seen all the five big foot that I've seen, I've only seen one that had gray skin. I've seen him have a dark chocolate, tight skin. I think it
may not. I don't think it's too much in their age because some of the ones that I've seen that had a dark chocolate they had long they had gray hair in there, you know, on their body. Okay, typically you know, you know age, but you know I've only like I said, I've only seen the one in in you know, out of the five that I've seen that had a gray skin. Okay, I got you, all right, Well, I guess we don't want to stay on this appearance
thing too long. So and your wife was a little upset with you that you were, but you just had to go look, look, didn't you. It's kind of in my blood, you know what I mean about that. I mean, that's that's all I can describe it as it's in my blood. I have to go look, right, I understand. I understand that. Well, moving forward, tell us, Uh, that's two encounters
down. Tell us uh, tell us how it's progressed since then. Well, it has kind of reinvigorated me because for a long time I got had gotten to the point where it was like, nobody believes anything that you know, they don't believe anything about big Foot. That's it's all hoax. And I've heard that for so long, you know. It made it to a point where he's like, I'm just ready to give up, you know, trying to let people know about these things and that they can be dangerous.
It is, you know, people just look at you like you're crazy, you don't know what you're talking about. Three this thing, you might want to check yourself into it. A singles out. So I was actually proved that once in my life. Oh my gosh, seeing those two in North Carolina really reinvigorated me on looking for big foot. And my buddy said, hey, why don't you come up to my house and you know they're out here. You can you know, you can hear them and stuff like that.
And we went out and an investigation to his house. And I've seen two, yeah, two of his house. Actually both of them were completely different colored, uh different sized. The first one I sent his house was probably only eight foot tall seven d eight foot tall. It actually had a belly on them, and most of them don't have a belly, you know.
Uh, like it had been eating real good, you know, and it or maybe it had gotten to that midlife to the midlife crisis or whatever, and it had started, you know, getting fat around its mid section and stuff, you know like we do. So it was, like I said, between seven eight foot doll. It was a dark chocolate hair. It actually had hair on its face, well maybe now on its face, but had hair that hung down from a right around a chin area and along
as jaw run. Its skin color was a dark dark chocolate. It just kind of, you know, it just kind of walked upon us, looked at us, and left. It just turned around. It all just three people ain't worried about that, just said heck with them leave And then one night we went to my buddy's house and we sit out there and in our investigation. Ain't ain't like everybody else, you know, we don't try to go out and find them. But we don't go out. We don't have
to go out and find them, because they come to watch us. We'll cook out on an open fire pike and take steaks and cut them up into a little chunks and throwings and potatoes and onions and green peppers and whatever else we want to cook up in a loonum pall pan and we'll sit there and eat. We'll sit there and talk about, you know whatever. They seemed to come up and investigate us and see what we're doing. We had done that one night it had My wife looked at me, some honey, I'm
tired, I'm ready to home. And it was probably, oh, I'd say one thirty in the morning when he was leaving, left my buddy's place
and went out. I was actually had gotten out and was locking his gate to his driveway up was standing and heard something and had a flashlight with me because everybody has trouble seeing him dark, you know, trying to put a lock together and looked up and there was a nine footter or better, I would have to say it was over and well over nine foot, because it was bigger than than the eight footer I saw when I was I was a young key had this thing just stood there, turned looked at me, and
I shined a flashlight on it, and it just stood there. And finally it to back around across the road his driveway, which is a gravel driveway, and it took two steps and it was over the side of the bank, and I heard her walk off, and I just got back in the truck and looked at my wife and I said, you should have been out there. You just kind of looked at me, and so, what do you mean? I said, the big one was up here. You just had to rub it in, didn't you. That's the only time I get
a rubbing thing in the rest of the time. She keeps me, I got you. But we came home and we talked about it all the way home, and that was the last one I've seen. I we just haven't done any investigations lately, and I haven't been going all over all over the country like you with you know, my job and stuff, you know, just haven't talked to a lot of people, and so that's pretty much where
I'm at right now. I'm starting to get back out there on the road and talking to people and getting more reports of big foot because of the YouTube channel. Can people call me with reports them? Yeah, I would suspect that you have a better rapport with people who have had encounter since you have yourself. See, I haven't, and so I think when people send me stories and stuff, I'd like to have that connection with them, but I just don't. And I'm not gonna lie and make up a story just to
grow this is. People take this serious, people like you who have actually seen one, and I think y'all can sniff the fakers out, and so I don't even I wouldn't even try it. And so as you interview people, you probably have a good back and forth in a just a natural kinship with these people. I tell you what drew me to your I had had several people tell me you need to listen to what he's doing on his YouTube
channel. And if you're you're you're in truck, I don't know what you listen to as you're driving and stuff, you probably have a chance to I would think YouTube would be hard to listen to while as a driver because you have to keep skipping through ads and all that crap. What do you normally listen to? Do you listen to the radio or podcasts or what do you what do you normally listen to? Well, I typically listen to a serious
x M. I'm I'm an actual Christian minister. I listened to, you know, the Christian channels a lot, and I you know, I'll listen to talk radio and stuff like that. But typically I usually listen to the serious XM radio and you know, and I got CD in the truck. Sometimes guys will get on there and they'll start talking, or they'll holler at you and want to talk. And I do that too, But my life is rather boring when you're driving the truck. That's That's the only thing I
could sell you, kind of boring. I was kind of using that to make a point because I said in a video back, I don't know two three videos ago that you know as that create videos like you and I do, we don't really have time to watch a lot of YouTube. I know that I've gotten comments from truck drivers saying, oh man, your videos are fun. To listen to in the truck and stuff. But I always wonder, man, do they just have to sit there and endure those stupid ads
or what. What drew me to your channel was first a couple of people had told me about it through emails or in the comments. And you know, we don't again, we don't have a lot of time to just watch YouTube all day, but I mean I would if I could. It's not that I don't like it. I just, you know, there's some things
you can't do while you're working. But I went over and I wound up, and I think I just got through your I think I've listened to your whole library, and it's fascinating to me how you tell these stories because they feel like, you know, my stuff is kind of a production. Even though I'm reading people's real accounts. I'm paying attention to, you know, mu music and scenery and all that fluffy stuff because I'm trying to do an
entertainment channel basically. But the way you tell these stories, it's almost like it is like you have a kinship with the people who have sent them in. And some of those stories you'll follow up on. And there's one in particular where you're talking about, well, they had to kill this bigfoot. Now, I don't want you to tell the story here because I want people
to go listen to it on your channel, but the pup. But my question is, are you, through the years, and especially lately with your channel, are you seeing a lot of people taking these things on, shooting them and trying to run them off or killing them if they have to. Well, over the years, I have seen quite a few people get frustrated with these creatures and does start shooting them. The problem with that is if you don't kill the whole plan and I've seen it happen. Well I didn't
see it, but I've been told about it. If you don't kill the whole clan, whatever one that you didn't kill, the other ones come and take revenge. I mean it's like there's there's a movie that had Patrick Swayze in it. He was a detective in Detroit or something like that. The mob was in on the movie. They killed his younger brother, and at the end of the movie, the whole family comes to Detroit and starts taking on the mob and they're shooting these guys with foes and shotguns and all this
stuff, and that's basically the way the big Foot do it. I mean, if you start a fight with somebody and it's a fair fight, and you get in the fist fight here in stay Westginia, your family stays out at it. But if the other guy does something and does something to harm you or harm someone in your family, basically is the half Fields and McCoys is with the way I looked at it, the way I found that it happened. Two families comes to fight and they're they're going to do whatever they
have. Yeah, that movie was called Next of Ken Patrick Swayze and Liam Neeson was his brother. His name was Briar, And I remember that movie really well because I love that name, and I wanted I wanted to name our last son Briar because I just love that name. I thought, man, what an original name. But we had a we had a little girl, so I couldn't name her Briar. So I know exactly what you're talking about. They have a real it's a Next of Ken kind of mentality these
big Foot troops have, isn't it. Yes, yes, very much so looking forward or you say you're you're kind of thinking about getting back out and doing getting boots on the ground and doing a little more of that. I would imagine with all this mess going on with this virus and everybody short on stuff, just thinking logically, you're probably gonna pick up more work, aren't you. M Yeah, I mean we do a lot of I changed companies here recently and we haul nothing but plastic plants. It's fun to me.
And will we do a lot of doing, you know, across up in the Northeast and down the southeast, all these plastic cost to places, you know, and make plastic ports or parts for four wheelers or whatever, you know, whatever plastic's got to be made. And we're picking up a lot of work right now. And it's it's been a busy time force because of this virus. You know, other companies are cutting back on doing things and because of this virus, and it seems like everything that's plastic is just taking
a big boon. Yeah. So yeah, I'm gonna be busy, but I'm still going to do this on the weekend, I'll say, so that maybe it won't cut into your plans to get out there. Do you have a specific area that you're gonna be investigating or do you use your contacts and go visit their places. How has this worked out that way for you people you've met? Yeah, okay, yeah, that's that's like the lady I
did the live interview with in North Carolina. You know, we did an investigation down the air and went looking and went and found quite a quite a bunch of markers around her home across the road from her house and everything. Wentn't looking around and found a bunch of markers of Bigfoot, you know, like hides and xs and tree bows and tree twists, and found a footprint. But I'm not the type that goes out and cast you know, the footprints and stuff like that. I just never never think to do that.
That's something I should probably do, but I just I just don't think of about a day, you know, I don't think of them that way. I just I know they're there. My thing is is, you know, I want to get the information out there to people that these things are not all nice. They can be very aggressive. They will kill you if if they get a chance to. Actually I get about sixty percent nice stories and then the other forty percent or either you know, there's some nefarious intent with
the big Foot or something else. But speaking on those footcastings, I wonder you know. I put up a video I guess yesterday and the title is the title of it was stay anonymous, because I've done a lot of thinking about this. And when I first started doing this about a year ago, you know, I told people, I said, I'll put you name in it if you want to or not, and I kind of came to the and I haven't ever given anybody's full name. I just I never felt comfortable
to in that. And if other people do, that's fine. I'm not. I just I'm gonna do my thing and everybody else is going to do their thing. And I haven't really picked up on what you do, and it doesn't matter. But speaking of the cast I think here's and I'm curious what you think about it. I'm gonna tell you mine and then you tell me yours. I think as far as bigfoot investigations go, there are people like you, and I know a dozen guys like you who love to go
into the woods, namely because they just love being outdoors. And I kind of pick up from you you're that way, But to go into the woods and enjoy the outdoors with a mission to be looking for something, whether you're squirrel hunting, turkey hunting like you and I were talking about earlier, or hunting for signs of bigfoot, or even looking for an encounter. You can do all that stuff, and the people that do it are the usually the
nicest, most friendly, happy people I've ever met. I'm just telling you there, I've had such good experiences with investigators like yourself, and I know you hadn't been able to do a lot lately, but still deep at heart you're an investigator. Here's what I'm getting out. I tried to think.
You know, bigfoot really came on the scene in nineteen sixty seven when mister Giblin and mister Patterson got that footage and then it became really you know, it was out there to the public and people were and then with the onset of the Internet, it became very popular, you know, with these with our you know, little YouTube channels and the websites and all that stuff.
But really, really, the the idea of bigfoot has really not advanced much since in nineteen sixty seven because it's still considered a crypted, a mythical creature, or an undiscovered species, and thousands of tracks have been cast. Thousands of tree structures have been you know, photographed on and on and on, all those tree twists, you know would not recordings and even videos of people
who say this is a bigfoot. But the cause I'm just using that word because I can't think of another one has not really moved much since Gimmelin and Patterson got that got that video. Bigfoot is still a huge mystery, and so I kind of understand why, you know, why would you stop in cast attract It's like a I'm not saying it's a waste of time, but if it was me, I would feel like, oh, I'm not gonna waste my time doing that. I mean, there's a bunch of cast already
out there. It's not going to advance the cause, which takes us to people. And I'm asking you this because you you have you and I have similar channels. In other words, we tell people's stories. I don't think that someone attaching their name to a story advances the cause of again causes probably the wrong word, but advances the theory or cause a bigfoot one bit. I think what it does. On the other hand, I think it could be to see these people never know who's going to stumble on one of these.
If you give your full name, man, it could cause all kinds of trouble in your life. And I I've gotten to where I've discouraged people from doing that. If you want to tell your first name, that's fine. So you can show your buddies, hey see he's telling my story or the guy that had to encounter with him, here's our story, you know, and so they can identify with their friends and say, hey, listen to this. But just to put it out there to the world. And
my opinion is I think people should really think about that. I'm not saying they shouldn't do it, So everybody listening, I'm not saying they should not do it. I'm just saying you need to think about it real hard before you put your full name out there. And I'm wondering what your feeling is on that. Do you have any or can you expound on that? Yill. Just like on my channel, there's there's people, but I get the
person's full name. But here's the thing. Back when I was doing all the investigations and when I was able able to go out at any time at night or you know, or or chase down a story from somebody I had, you know, I got their names, and you know, these other people that would before I, before I started YouTube, you would associate the person's name with the story about the big foot, about their encounter with a big foot, and if you put that name out there, I'd actually seen
a guy lose his job and his home because of it. And this was something that he'd seen a big foot back when he was a kid out squirrel hunting one day and he got a hold of me, and I put his name with the story, and you know, kind of associated it with other people that I who had seen big foot, and I guess that name kind of got his name got back to someone that he worked for, and they've
fired him because of it. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Called him right in the office and said, you know, I heard that you saw this mythical creature and I can't have you associated with that, and since I've got to let you guy. And he lost a real good paying job. Because he losing his job, he lost his home and that put him and his wife and took full of kids out on the street. And he had it tough for for three or four years. And you know, he said
I wished that. I would never have told you, you know, because I check on people that give me a story. You know, I get their phone numbers, I call them and you know, see how they're doing, and see if the big foot are still coming around their home and stuff like that. You know, I care about these people because, like you said earlier, you probably get sixty or forty you know of good stories being On the other hand, I get probably eighty five percent bad stories about big
footing fifteen good, right. But the thing of it is is, you know, I care about these people and their well being, and that's why I never give a person's name. I don't care if they tell me to put their full name or their first name out there. No, I'm not doing it because I've seen the consequences of it first hand. I'm so glad you said that because and again I don't think you have a cause or I have a cause. But I don't ever want to steer anyone wrong so that
I am able to create a good video and make a little change. It's not right. It's just not right to do that. And it's different than you know. There are other cases where you don't want to you don't want to lose your identity. You're a pastor, and you know that if a man follows Christ, do not, in any case want to deny Christ. It doesn't it doesn't negate the Gospel if you do. If you do deny Christ, Jesus already paid for every sin you're ever going to make. He
did it with Peter. But you want to display a posture of something that you love and care about, and you don't want to let those things go, like your faith, or your family or your country. But Bigfoot's not worth it. It's just not worth all the upheaval in your life that could be, that could come down the pike. And so I'll put that video out. A guy had written a story about a guy in the UK and how he had been harassed all his life and he finally had to leave the
town. It was so bad he had to leave the town. And this wasn't even a Bigfoot thing. It was a kind of a UFO story. So I'm so glad to hear you say that. And I don't blame any other channels for asking people to give their names. If that's the way they want to run their channel, that's their business, and not gonna get in their business. But I just want to tell people before you do, just think it through real hard. And it sounds like you agree with me.
Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly. You know, like I said, I've seen and this guy that I was telling you about, you know, he didn't know me from Adam or Eve. He you know, he confided in me with his story and all idea was tell two other guys they hunt for Bigfoot. In fact, one of those guys was my mentor that that taught me about, you know, what Bigfoot does and other things, and and showed
me a lot of stuff that Bigfoot does. He never told nobody, but the other guy did, right, and it got back around and the other guy wasn't even in the same town or what wasn't even the same furthest face, But he got back around to the guy's boss and he lost his job and lost his home, and it almost cost him his marriag and you know, they'd have been a divorce, and you know, he you know,
he may have lost his kids in the process of it. People have asked me, well, you know, who is this person that you're talking about. You don't get their name right, I mean, I don't mean to be mean, but they have confidence in me keeping their name and their career safe and their family safe. Because what if a guy goes out fishing with his buddies one night and him and his buddy seen his big foot and he
doesn't go home and tell his wife about it. Well he, you know, six months or eight months down the road and he tells me about the story, or he calls me, you know, he finds my channel on YouTube, or or he calls you or anybody else that does this on YouTube, and he calls him and says, you know, hey, this is what happened to me and my buddies. Well, these guys are out fishing,
they're not drinking, you know, not don't doing anything wrong. But you know, somebody puts their name out there, and all of a sudden, there, you know, this gets back to their wife and the wife's life. There's no such things big, but you lied to me, you and this is gonna cause a big argument, and it might drive a wedge in the family, you know, between them. You know, I've got to look at that, you know, I've got that something like that happens.
I've got it on my mind and it's on my heart. I wouldn't want somebody putting my name out there. You know, if it's me, that's fine, I'll put my name out. But if people don't, don't want their name out there. And I did it anyway because you know, like I said, I get their first and last name, get their telephone number. It's that's a lot of identifying information for someone. It gets back to their wife, and their wife doesn't believe them, tells us a big
rift in the family. They get the boors, you know, the guys gotta you know, he doesn't have his kids, doesn't have the woman that he fell in love with anymore because she didn't believe it. That would be heavily on me, on me. You have a conscience, don't you. Yeah, yeah, I have. I have a lot of concern for other people. And I guess you know if that's conscience, you know, that's that's what it is. Well, listen, we're we're a a little bit
over an hour now, so let's uh, I always ask everybody. First, let me say, I just got a notification from your YouTube channel that your video cannaan Valley, Bigfoot or Messy Boogers just got uploaded. So after y'all listen to this goal. Go to Old bears Den a bigfoot channel, and watch this latest video and check out all his videos. But what I was going to say is I kind of give everybody h I ask you you have any parting words or anybody on this topic before we before we sign off.
The only thing that I would like to say is bigfoot is a creature that we don't know what exactly they are, but they live out in the wild. They live out in the woods, you know, deserts, places that most people don't go. The best thing I can tell you is is have your head on a swivel, watch your back, and be very careful of these creatures. If you come up on them, don't give them a reason to attack you. You don't stand a chance. Just be safe other
people. I mean, I'd love to hear your story about seeing a big foot. I don't want to hear somebody else a story that my buddy got killed by a big foot. Yeah, and this is coming from a guy who's seen aggressive behavior and has five encounters of his own. He's seen how big these things are, he's seen how powerful and fast they are, and he's got a little idea of their demeanor, So take his word for it. Investigators, you know, be careful. I would listen to what the
man said, Well, listen. I appreciate you so much. I know it took how long. We've been trying to put this together. For a month and a half. I'd get sick, and then you'd get sick, and then my wife got sick, and finally today I just called him and I said, how about right now? And he goes, let's do it. So we just did it. Thank you so much for doing this with me. It's a huge I considered a huge favor to me. And before we go, we talked about your Discord link is does it have a name
that people can search on Discord? It's just Old Bear's Dinner Bigfoot. Okay, if you go to my channel, there's actually a link for the Discord going to download the app for you. I'm gonna go to your channel and copy that link and put it in the description below of this video. And I'm also going to link your YouTube channel first, your Discord channel second.
And I think that should get everybody all the information they need to get over And I highly recommend you go listen to his stories because are great they're great, and I'm uh, it's when I get to listen, it's like I can't stop, I can't turn it off. I have to, and then it's hard not to go to the next video if I'm busy. But he's telling great stories, true stories, good stories that he's getting from drivers and from people that he knows through his discord channel and friends and you know,
buddies he's come up hunting with and and all those kind of things. So y'all go check them out one more time. Thank you again for coming on, and guys, thanks for listening this far and I appreciate you and we will see you on the next video. Thanks
