Tonight I will be speaking to Brice and Joe. Joe writes “Good morning Wes, I would like to introduce myself to you. I would like to tell you about my brother and I’s experience in the woods of Louisiana.
First, it all started with just my brother Josh who was hunting at a Wildlife Management Area. He was at his portable deer blind and noticed an animal walk to a fallen tree and squat down behind the tree and looked like it was foraging.
He started texting me about it and I told him to try and record it the best he could. He wasn’t for sure if it was a bear or a man but then it stood up and walked away. He called me and he walked over to where it was and said that it left impressions in the mud which he also recorded. Here’s a video recording of it that he submitted to Bigfoot Evidence who sent either himself or someone out there to meet Josh at the site. They found foot impressions with possible dermal ridges but I never saw them nor Josh after that day. Bigfoot Evidence seemed to want to sensationalize his experience adding details that were never discussed with Josh which really caused him to not want to talk about his experience at all. In the video attached in the description it says that Josh locked eyes with the creature for 15 mins and than it panicked and rushed out of the area/ (that never happened)
In March of 2013 I came to visit Josh and I convinced him we should go back out there at night and do what the Finding Bigfoot people do and do some tree knocks and whoops. So we did. We traveled to 32.07421° N, 91.40694° W at approximately 9 pm that night on a ATV to see what we could see. We made sure to make sure our flashlights where charged and brought a 2×4 to knock on wood. So we drove down this old logging road till we came to a fallen tree that laid across the road. We got off the ATV and waited in darkness for about 10 mins. I told Josh I would do my first long whoop and see what happens.
I let out the call and in the fair distance to the right of us we hear some coyotes start yipping but then far off in the front of us we hear a whoop back. I told josh lets sit here in the dark. We sat in silence listening as you do when you deer hunt. About 10 mins pass and I do another call and we got an immediate answer to the front of us but this time it was closer. Josh starts to get excited and was asking what the hell was that? I told him lets wait a little bit more and do a knock the wood against the fallen tree. We waited about 5 mins and I did three knocks which we got a response kinda off to the left front of us. The woods go silent. Dead silent. We start to hear talking in front of us. Almost like gibberish and there are maybe 2-3 voices. One voice moves left of us and the other moves right. It sounds like it was maybe 200 yards away but growing louder. Josh turns on his flashlight to see if he can anything but the fallen tree is really in the way and neither one of us wanted to be on the other side separated from the ATV but his flashlight begins to die pretty quickly and it isn’t very strong.
So he turns it off. We are in darkness again and we are hearing what sounds like walking towards us on both sides of the logging road. Then things start falling around us. Thuds in the dirt in front of us and we realize that sticks are being thrown. So we back toward the ATV and I told Josh I wanted to try something and I let out a “scream call” and in an instant we hear this deep growl to the right of us and what sounds like a large body stepping into water . WE FREAK out and get on the ATV but he couldn’t get it to start. It sounded like the woods came to life around us and most definitely something on both sides of the road moving towards us. It was the longest seconds in my life sitting on the back of the ATV with my back to the dark. He got it started and we hightailed it out of there.
We really haven’t talked much about it. I stopped going out at night and doing those calls. I used to do it with a few college kids that was in my college ministry at the time but I haven’t since that night.
Our great grandmother was Choctaw and I grew up with her never letting us go out at night because that’s when “The old ones” is what she would say would come out and they took people.
My father seen two in the kisatchie forest preserve when he was around 20 years old and I guess between him and my great grandmother. I’ve always had an interest in the phenomenon that surrounds this topic.
Now my family listened to your podcast sometimes when we are traveling for an hour or so and we try to rationalize what people experience. As I’ve tried to rationalize what I’ve experienced.”
