A listener writes “Good evening Wes, I listened to Ep 873, David Tribute. His description of the relief has compelled me to reach out to you.

Short Version: Early 2000s/2010s, southeast Alabama. Hunting with my Dad and Brother, I believe I shot one within 3-4 feet of me, but it tore off like a Mac truck up the pine ridge.”

Spoke to David and he is willing to come on the show. He said he was hunting with his father and brother when he came upon this creature. In fear he shot it. He said the scream/roar that came out of this thing vibrated his body. His father and brother heard the vocalization and said they felt it as much as they heard it.

A listener writes “Hey was long time fan, I went from not believing in sasquatch to investigating sasquatch and taking reports to meeting a man who taught me how to call them and feed them on a regular basis because of your show.

I would tell my story here but it is far to long and complicated for one email. Spoke to the witness who had a couple of strange things happen to him in Ohio and he has agreed to come on the show. He said he was beyond skeptical about Bigfoot until he had a couple of strange encounters and one incident that still bothers him.”

A listener writes “I recently picked up my bow to go hunting for whitetail after about a 15 year hiatus. I have moved to Columbia SC from NC . But I was raised in the mountains of West Virginia.

We’re I was hunting in SC was part of the urban hunting that was provided almost in the city right on the outskirts I had moved to a apartment and found 15 acres were there were at least 6 deer on it. 4 does and two bucks was what I have seen. Now this was last October. I was hunting from the ground and I had 4 does run by me very spooked and then 3 of those deer ran back by me.

As I was sitting there I noticed that there was what I thought was a wild hog on the ground about 50 yards away from me. As I struggled to see what it was ,looking back I believe this animal was fazing into our reality because it was hard to make out details I saw me and almost wispily raised to its feet it was not a hog .

It started coming to me and I was scared as hell so I started barking like a dog . It just stood there for what seemed like an eternity. So once it stopped coming to me I stopped the ridiculous barking.

I heard a loud scream off in the distance and it took off. I don’t know what I saw but I think it was a Bigfoot.”

A listener writes “It was August, 2 years ago. I was camping in the Beartooth wilderness in Montana, with a group of my dads High School buddies. It was around 7:46 at night, so just when the sun was setting on the campground we were in.

There was a meadow area in the campground, surrounded by pretty thick woods. It was dark, dusky-like in the trees, but a good amount of light in the meadow. We were at a campfire, which was on the edge of the woods. We were all sitting around, having a jolly good time , but while one guy was talking, we heard several hooting noises.

They were deep, definitely not an owl, and we heard heavy breathing. Now, we were in Montana. We aren’t stupid. We assumed it was a bear. We stood with our backs to the fire, and raised our arms over our heads and hollered. We also got out our bear spray. The howling stopped, but the grunting continued, but it sounded like it was getting further away.

From the corner of his eye, the guy on the opposite side said he saw a large, ape-like creature running/crawling/shuffling away. As we were hiking away 3 days later, we heard more hooting, which followed us for about .5 miles, until several guys let off some shots from some pistols.

Thanks for hearing me out man. If you could, I dunno, tell me something like “that was definitely not a sasquatch” that would help me and my buddies.”

A listener writes “I am from Australia and this September just gone, I took time off work and travelled to Canada to visit my son who is working in Whistler BC.

During my visit, my son had to work on a few of the days I was there and I was left to do my own thing. I had been up to Blackcomb Peak on the gondola a couple of times and I saw the “Ascent Trail” that ended by the gondola station at the top. Being a bit out of shape and in my mid-fifties, I thought that going up would be a huge challenge, but going down might be a bit easier and something I could brag about with my friends and family.

On the Wednesday I was there I caught the gondola up, had something to eat for lunch at the cafe at the summit. About 1pm I shouldered my backpack (with water and some snacks in it) and started down the trail. The first couple of people I passed mentioned the trail did get a bit steep and to be careful. I thanked them, walked on and then promptly fell on my butt and slid a few feet down the trail. I got up and dusted myself and kept going.

On the way down I met a hiker coming up and chatted with him. He was a local and I asked about the bushes on the trail and the fruit on them. He said they were wild blueberries and quite safe to eat. After a brief chat, he kept heading up and I kept heading down.

A little while later as I headed down I heard some noise to my right and when I looked, I could see a bear foraging in a little glade of blackberry bushes, maybe 10 to 15 meters off the trail. I was excited as this was the first time I had seen a bear. I did not feel scared or apprehensive at all. The bear was too busy eating berries to consider putting me on the menu. So, I snapped a couple of pictures and walked thinking about the excitement of telling my son I had seen a bear.

I crossed the first dirt road that the trail goes over as you come down and I passed a couple of ladies heading up the trail and mentioned to them about the bear, which they were thankful for. The trail then flattened out for a good 300 metres and this is where things turned strange. As I walked into that flat area I could hear a tap tap tap sound coming from midway up a couple of big trees. It kept going with 2 or 4 taps at a time. I then realised I was hearing a woodpecker. More excitement welled in me as I got to see my first live wild woodpecker. I stopped and listened and managed to snap a couple of pictures, although they were so zoomed in you could barely make the bird out.

I walked on a bit further and realised that the whole forest had gone quiet. I didn’t really think that much of it as I had enjoyed the silence of the mountains and peaks around Whistler over the last few days. Then I felt this low rumble in my lower gut, like you can get when the bass note of music is low. I felt it enough to stop for a moment and take stock of myself. I felt it again and that’s when I realised what I was hearing was a very very low growl, the type that comes the back of an animal’s throat. The only other sound I have ever heard that was in any way similar to it is the grunting growl a Koala makes. I started to take a look around me as I was worried that the bear I had seen a few minutes earlier may have worked its way further down the mountain. As I looked around I saw movement off to the left just on the tree line, about 15 meters (45 feet) from me.

It took me a moment to register that what I was looking at was standing on 2 legs and wasn’t a bear. What I was seeing was a large creature, maybe 2.5 meters (7.5 feet) tall and partly obscured by the trunk of one of the bigger trees. It was covered in hair, with broad shoulders and a head but no neck that I could see. I had been snapping pictures on my phone all day but when I saw this creature I didn’t even think of taking a picture, in fact, I didn’t really think at all I was rooted to the spot and couldn’t move. It felt like I was there for ages but it could not have been very long at all. The creature stared at me for a short time, kind of huffed to itself and then turned and walked away back into the trees and away from the trail. I lost sight of it pretty quickly as it blended in really well with the trunks of the trees, the moss and underbrush. Then I kinda got my sense back, had a bit of a panic moment and realised all I could do was get down that trail as quick as possible, and that’s what I did. I worked my way down he trail until I reached the midway gondola station, got on a gondola, got back to the village and my hotel room as quick as I could.

I honestly believe I saw a sasquatch that day, not a giant one like some people describe, a smaller one and from the amount of grey I could see in the hair around his face and shoulder, probably an old one. I think I disturbed him doing something (what I have no idea) but he was not that upset as to charge me, instead, he growled and gave the same sort of exasperated huff that I have given my kids at times and turned and walked off from the annoyance that was me.”

The moon-eyed people are a legendary group of short, bearded white-skinned people who are said to have lived in Appalachia until the Cherokee expelled them. Stories about them, attributed to Cherokee tradition, are mentioned by early European settlers in America. In a 1797 book, Benjamin Smith Barton explains they are called “moon-eyed” because they saw poorly during the day.

Some stories claim they created the area’s pre-Columbian ruins, and they disappeared from the area.[Barton cited as his source a conversation with Colonel Leonard Marbury, an early settler of Georgia. Marbury, a Revolutionary War officer and a Congressman in the Second Provincial Congress of Georgia (1775), acted as intermediary between Native American Indians in the state of Georgia and the United States government.

Published accounts of an ancient moon-eyed people who lived in the southern Appalachian region of the United States before the Cherokee came into the area have appeared in America since the late 18th century. Sources disagree as to the accuracy of the stories, whether or not the stories are an authentic part of Cherokee oral tradition; whether the people existed or were mythical; whether they were indigenous peoples or early European explorers; and whether or not they built certain prehistoric structures found in the region.

Different ideas about the people have appeared in letters, newspapers, and books for over two hundred years. Stories about the era before widespread European settlement were published by early European settlers of America, who became interested in the native people and old ruins in America. Among the earliest people to mention the legend are Benjamin Smith Barton, who wrote that he had heard a story from Leonard Marbury, about ancient moon-eyed people; and John Sevier, who told of an ancient white race, according to later published sources who mention Sevier’s letters. Barton, Marbury, and Sevier lived during the era when the lower Appalachians were still part of the Cherokee Nation, before the Trail of Tears. Later human-interest articles mention Barton.

The Dutch Safety Board has signaled that it will be accepting reports of UAPs by aviation professionals. Given the increasing amount of attention the UFO phenomenon has been receiving in the US in recent years, it is perhaps no surprise that authorities in countries outside of the United States would also begin to take the topic more seriously as well – especially with regard to any risks that such objects might pose to aircraft within their airspace.

Earlier this month, for example, the Dutch Safety Board made a move to suggest that it would now be accepting reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) by ‘aviation professionals’.

The board, which runs independently of the Dutch government, is responsible for investigating any serious accidents that occur in the Netherlands, whether that be on the ground or in the air. As such, reports of encounters with unknown aerial vehicles is of legitimate concern.

The news that the board would be taking the subject more seriously came following its correspondence with UFO group UAP Coalition Netherlands.

“As a Coalition, we are pleased to report that the OVV (Dutch Safety Board) has indicated that it wants to receive reports of UAP from Dutch aviation professionals,” the coalition wrote.

“Airspace can be endangered by experiences with UAP, so it is positive that an independent administrative body wants to gain more insight into this and takes reports seriously.”

“We see this as recognition and an important step towards achieving our goal.”

The Confessionals writes “In episode 698: East Tennessee Bigfoot, Harley Owens, a Bigfoot field researcher out of east Tennessee, recounts a series of unsettling encounters that slowly shattered his skepticism. Strange growls in the night, fleeting glimpses of large figures in the distance, these were experiences he could explain away. However, everything changed on a fateful day when he came face to face with something he couldn’t ignore.

As a massive, conical-headed figure watched him from a cliff, his phone mysteriously died, cutting off his chance to capture the moment with more than a picture. In that instant, the legend of Bigfoot became terrifyingly real, keeping him from even stepping foot in the woods for three years only recently entering the woods again. Since Harley began doing field research, he has had more encounters, some of which will put a chill down your spine.”

A listener sent me this audio from the Standing Stone State Forest, located in Tennessee. I have amplified the audio. The listener writes “I met Greg (he was on your podcast regarding orbs) the week of Oct 14th. We heard screams unlike any of us heard before. Do you know if they are dogmen? We were in Standing Stone State Forest and it is purported the West side of the park is home to a clan of dogmen.”

Ocean X writes “In partnership with the Cape Eleuthera Institute (@ceibahamas), we managed to achieve history, tagging an animal from a submersible (submarine) for the first time EVER.

Our objective was the deep-sea #shark, the bluntnose sixgill. This ancient species predates most dinosaurs, and is a dominant predator of the deep sea ecosystem.

The lead scientist on the mission, FSU Marine Lab’s Dr. Dean Grubbs, has been the first to put a satellite tag on one of these elusive sharks, but until now had only been able to do so by bringing them up to the surface.”

Either my eyesight is getting worse the older I get or that’s the biggest shark I have every seen.
