Chapter 1: What sparked Jeremy's passion for the outdoors?

3.423 - 26.767 Wes

It looked like somebody was bent over and had their head in the window of the deer blind and it either heard me or smelled me and he pulled his head out of the tent and stood straight up and that shocked me. They don't make people that big.

The way it moved. almost as if it was gliding across the beach. I've never seen anything move like that in my life. They were screaming at each other in gibberish. It sounded like a language and they were chuntering away back and forwards, back and forwards, back and forwards. I know what a bear looks like and there is no way on this planet that what I saw were bears.

Chapter 3: How did Jeremy interpret the sounds he heard at night?

132.894 - 156.275 Wes

And Jeremy comes to us from Kentucky. And we'll be discussing two encounters tonight. One was around 1990. At the time, he really didn't know what it was. The second encounter was about four years later where he got a pretty good look at this thing and he describes it jumping from tree to tree. I'll let Jeremy go into it.

180.766 - 183.57 Jeremy

Hey Wes, how's it going?

0

183.59 - 199.091 Wes

I'm doing well. Thank you for asking. And we're going to discuss two encounters that you had. If you would, would you start from the very beginning? What were you doing and what happened? And this was around, this was like the early 90s, correct?

Chapter 5: How does Jeremy describe the creature he observed while hunting?

199.171 - 199.632 Wes

Correct.

200.624 - 229.753 Jeremy

That was probably 1990 when that happened. I was around 11, 12 years old, and I'd been hunting and fishing with my dad all my life since I can remember. I went in the woods with him, and he would fix me a tree stand 100 yards from his, and I would climb up and just sit there while he hunted. I was just far enough he could still see me, I guess, and knew I was safe.

0

230.408 - 259.504 Jeremy

go in and hunt with him and he's a good dad he's a good guy but he taught me how to do all that stuff and I like to fish at the creek a lot by myself back then and I would catfish at night time I would just go down there and I'd take a lantern and I would sit on the creek bank and just you know fish for catfish and just that's what I did my grandpa liked to eat them so I would keep a couple here and there and

0

260.294 - 283.885 Jeremy

know and take them to him to eat but um yeah i was i was sitting on the creek bank i had my lantern kind of low and i always put a piece of tinfoil on the back side of it so it doesn't blind me and i can keep my night vision pretty good Here in Kentucky, it's pretty hilly where I'm at. I wouldn't say mountainous.

0

284.687 - 293.727 Jeremy

I'm in southeastern Kentucky, so I'm not to the main mountains yet, but it's still pretty mountainous.

Chapter 6: What theories does Jeremy have about the behavior of the creature he saw?

293.707 - 318.575 Jeremy

the creeks are pretty low in the hollows and, you know, the, the creek, the creek banks are actually, you know, if you're actually sitting on the edge of the creek, you're, you're down lower than the banks. The banks are probably eight or nine feet tall, you know, or the erosion has happened around them. And so, uh, Above me, there's a hillside that runs on the opposite side of the creek.

0

318.655 - 342.327 Jeremy

It runs up to a road. It's just like a two-lane, small country road. And looking back on it now, there was a cave up there I used to go exploring in when I was real little. We would cross over, me and my brother, and we would go over there and we would go caving. And we thought we were Indiana Jones and, you know, we were going to find...

0

342.307 - 348.821 Jeremy

the Ark of the Covenant or something, but we would go, we'd go in this cave and it was a big cave.

Chapter 7: How does Jeremy explain the challenges of capturing evidence of Bigfoot?

348.841 - 357.379 Jeremy

It has a big chambers in it, but looking back, I'm, I'm thinking that this is, that's probably where this is.

0

357.359 - 386.86 Jeremy

thing i heard came from because it was in a direct line over there and i've been all over that country down in there because i lived there and that was like my playground when i was younger you know we didn't have cell phones and all this stuff so we i had to do stuff down there to pass the time so but um yeah sitting there one night it was probably two or three o'clock in the morning and um i heard something running

387.734 - 413.37 Jeremy

down the hillside on the opposite side of the creek, and it was... I could almost hear it before it got to the road. I started listening pretty intently, and I heard what sounded like... It sounded like bare feet slapping on concrete. Like, you know, we... Me and my brother used to run and race on the blacktop outside of our house because we had a little back road that was...

0

413.35 - 434.515 Jeremy

not many days a day in the road but it was still like chip and seal or you know for a while and then it got to be blacktop and we would run up and down it and race and stuff barefooted and i knew that sound you know so and it was late at night so i'm guessing whatever it was its feet had gotten wet with the dew on the ground and it i heard it cross the road

0

435.743 - 450.986 Jeremy

maybe two slaps with its feet, two or three. And there was a guardrail there. And then it, it jets, it goes straight down because they cut that road into the side of the bank. They had to under, it was undercut.

Chapter 8: What insights does Jeremy share about the local wildlife and his experiences?

451.026 - 475.736 Jeremy

So they had to put the rip rap rock around underneath it. You know, the, they're about the size of a big softball, like a little bigger softball. And yeah, I heard it jump the guardrail because I heard the guardrail slap. Like he grabbed it or whatever it was, grabbed the guardrail and kind of heard it make a sound. And then I heard the rocks when it landed.

0

476.838 - 493.643 Jeremy

Whatever it was kind of slid down the rocks like somebody, you know, when you get on gravel or loose ground, you kind of slide in it. That's what it sounded like. And I was like, oh, man. I was like, what? I thought it was a deer at the time. Looking back, I don't think it was a deer at all.

0

494.323 - 517.354 Jeremy

So I'm sitting there, and it gets down, and I don't think it ever saw my lantern because I was below ground level at that point. It was kind of coming down at me, but I don't think it had made up my lantern because it was turned down pretty low. It got down, and there's a bunch of river cane down there, and it's really thick, and I could hear it moving through.

0

518.903 - 555.171 Jeremy

No, I think it saw my light, and it started howling and making these... It was like a whoop, and then it was more of a long whooping yell. It was long. It was a... it was all together. It whooped and then it done a long like vocalization. I don't know how to explain it. It was all together and it was, it didn't sound like it was trying to intimidate me or anything. It was just, uh,

0

556.636 - 581.018 Jeremy

It went into like a big, long whoop and cry sounding thing. It was odd. It was an odd thing to hear at nighttime, especially at 3 o'clock in the morning. At the time, you know, I'm so young, I thought it was probably an owl or a barn owl or something because they can make some crazy noises sometimes. I just, you know, you're immortal when you're that age.

581.038 - 606.825 Jeremy

You don't really look at things like how dangerous it could have been, but I saw some eyeshine, and it was faint, but it looked like a reddish-orangey color, and they were set far apart. So I thought, well, that's maybe an owl or something over there in a tree. Looking back, it was probably 10 feet off the ground. So that's why I thought it was an owl, because I thought it was up in a tree.

607.75 - 630.769 Jeremy

and its eyes were set, but its eyes were set so far apart, I was like, that's a big owl, but I mean, we have great horned owls here, and you know, the barn owls get pretty big, and I've had barn owls scare me to death, you know, because they look like a person's face sometimes right at daylight and dusk. You know, if you're up in a tree and they're flying on you, it's just right eye to eye.

630.789 - 645.908 Jeremy

You know, it's kind of scary. So I just kind of thought it was something like that going on, you know. But I didn't think too much of it then. But there were some rocks hit the water up from me to my right up the creek. And...

647.474 - 669.545 Jeremy

You know, at the time, I just played it off like it was a fish jumping or something, you know, turtles, frogs, anything jumping in the water because you'd hear frogs jump in occasionally and stuff like that. But looking back, I'm pretty sure it was rocks being thrown because it had that, you know, the sound of a rock hitting the water. It had that deeper sound.
