[00:00:58] Baby Bigfoot Behavior by Sam Owell. In 2017, my friend and I were on a squash hunt in Colorado,

[00:01:08] about six miles back into the mountains from Boulder. We would go in the winter to avoid any

[00:01:14] black bear encounters, for safety and to eliminate any chance of mixing up sightings. It was around

[00:01:21] two in the morning in February, deep in the Colorado mountains. We were ten miles from the

[00:01:28] nearest light source or human, and ours was the only parked car at the trailhead. We had

[00:01:34] reached our turnaround spot for the night. On the way in we had done a few howls and wood knocks,

[00:01:40] but heard nothing. So we decided to give up the search and just enjoy the hike. Before turning

[00:01:47] back, my friend went to the bathroom off the trail near some trees. I took the opportunity to look

[00:01:54] around in the snow for anything of interest. The snow was patchy, but in one spot, I noticed a

[00:02:01] depression that stood out from the rest of the pack. Upon closer examination, there was a distinct

[00:02:08] footprint in the snow. It had a defined heel and five toes, each curled inward, which suggested movement

[00:02:17] as the foot walked. The print was about a foot long. Looking around, I found another footprint,

[00:02:26] this time from the opposite foot, about five feet away. Then I found another, and another. Each was

[00:02:34] spaced about five feet apart, creating a ten-foot stride. Unfortunately, the snowpack ended, and so did the

[00:02:43] prints. When my friend returned, I showed him what I found. We stood there discussing the possibilities.

[00:02:51] Unless someone with a foot long foot and a ten-foot stride was walking around barefoot in February in

[00:02:58] Colorado, we were convinced we had stumbled upon something squatchy. We were standing in a clearing

[00:03:05] in the woods, maybe fifty feet from edge to edge. As we examined the prints on the far right side of the

[00:03:12] clearing, we suddenly heard something large moving in the brush at the opposite end. Looking up, our

[00:03:21] flashlight caught a large rock flying through the air, hurling towards us. It landed just to the right

[00:03:29] of where we were standing. When it hit the ground, it crashed through the trail, snow, and leaf litter.

[00:03:37] The rock was enormous, probably thirty to fifty pounds, and roughly the size of a pumpkin.

[00:03:45] Stunned, we shone our flashlight in the direction the rock had come from,

[00:03:49] but we couldn't see anything. Soon, more rocks, sticks, and pine cones began flying towards us.

[00:03:58] The intensity of the projectiles increased, and it became clear that something did not want us there.

[00:04:06] We decided to back out of the area and began walking down the trail. As we approached the bottom of the

[00:04:13] clearing, a high-pitched, loud whistle came from our left. The sound was coming from high up in the trees.

[00:04:22] Then another whistle, and another. Soon, the whistles were coming in rapid succession.

[00:04:30] The sound was human-like, not bird-like, and it sent chills down our spines.

[00:04:38] Meanwhile, the objects being thrown at us seemed to follow us down the trail. The whistling grew louder

[00:04:46] and faster as we quickened our pace. Occasionally, we stopped to look and listen, but the whistling

[00:04:53] eventually grew more distant. While the projectiles stopped, we could hear something walking parallel to us,

[00:05:01] deep in the woods. Whatever it was, it followed us for nearly two miles. About a mile from the car,

[00:05:10] the sound of whatever was pacing us grew louder and closer. With a quick sweep of the flashlight,

[00:05:18] we caught sight of eye shine about 30 yards back in the woods. We couldn't make out a figure or features,

[00:05:26] but the eyes were bright and, judging by their height, around 10 feet off the ground. The sighting was brief,

[00:05:36] maybe one or two seconds. Then it was gone. Every hair on our bodies stood straight up. Our nerves were shot.

[00:05:47] Our hike turned into a light jog. As we cleared the trees, the car came into view, parked about a quarter

[00:05:55] mile away. Halfway between the woods and the car, we stopped to catch our breath and scan the area.

[00:06:03] That's when we heard it. A long, low, and very loud bellow coming from the trees behind us.

[00:06:12] We stood frozen in disbelief for a moment, then walked briskly to the car,

[00:06:18] giddy with a mix of fear and excitement. We reported the encounter to the BFRO,

[00:06:25] Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, the next day, and were soon on the phone recounting our story.

[00:06:34] Apparently, this spot had a history. There were a few other sightings stretching back to the early 90s.

[00:06:40] What we couldn't determine then, and why I'm telling you this story now, is the nature of the whistling

[00:06:46] and the kind of aggressive behavior we experienced. Our best guess is a baby Bigfoot was in the trees,

[00:06:55] whistling at us, while an adult chased us off. Perhaps its guardian. If anyone can back up this theory,

[00:07:03] or offer another explanation, I'd love to hear it.

[00:07:31] Yaoi's in Australia by SasquatchKid44

[00:07:34] I live on the east coast of Australia, near one of many Yaoi hotspots. For those unfamiliar,

[00:07:44] Yaoi's are essentially the Australian version of the Bigfoot. Their physical descriptions are very

[00:07:50] similar, but one difference I've noticed from anecdotes is that Yaoi's tend to have a higher

[00:07:57] percentage of red or auburn hair. They're also sometimes described as leaner, not as bulky as the

[00:08:06] patty type. These variations seem to depend on the location of the sighting. In the snowy mountain

[00:08:14] regions, we have huge white or gray-haired types with fair skin. In the bush, there are large dark-haired

[00:08:22] ones, and further north in Queensland, they tend to have orangutan-like coloring. I've always spent a lot

[00:08:29] of time outdoors, camping, and fishing. Even done multiple solo camping trips deep into the Blue

[00:08:36] Mountains, one of the most historically active areas for Yaoi sightings. While I've experienced the

[00:08:44] usual feelings of being watched, heard strange noises, and found odd stick-and-tree structures in remote

[00:08:51] areas, I've never actually seen a Yaoi or convinced myself 100% that they exist. My wife and I often go

[00:09:01] for hikes and bushwalks in these hot spots mostly to enjoy nature, though I secretly hope to have an

[00:09:08] experience. Over the years, I've had minor, seemingly unrelated incidents. For example, once I was walking

[00:09:15] deep into the woods on an animal trail, when I heard a noise off to my left. As I stopped to look, a pebble flew from

[00:09:24] the complete opposite direction, landing in front of me. It felt as though something was trying to distract me, almost as if I

[00:09:32] was being toyed with. It was eerily surreal, bordering on the paranormal. Another time, while hiking a muddy trail

[00:09:41] in the rain, I mentally asked for a sign. I projected the thought that I wasn't there with cameras or ill

[00:09:50] intentions, only with a desire to know if they existed, so that I could work toward conserving their environment.

[00:09:58] On my way back down the same trail an hour later, I found a large, perfect white bird feather, stuck

[00:10:06] upright in the middle of the path, right where I asked for the sign. It felt like a gift or a peace

[00:10:14] offering. I kept that feather in my backpack for a long time. While these incidents aren't evidence of

[00:10:21] anything concrete, they stick with me, and I've had many similar small experiences. Recently, though,

[00:10:29] I experienced what felt like a much more significant sign. My wife and I were hiking a remote trail deep

[00:10:38] in the bush. The closest civilization, apart from the dirt roads, was at least 20 kilometers away.

[00:10:45] Throughout the hike, I kept hearing what sounded like distant chatter, almost like children laughing and talking

[00:10:52] faintly, though it was impossible to make out any kind of specific words. It reminded me of the sounds of

[00:11:00] aboriginal kids playing, but it was so far off that I wasn't sure. After hiking for about two hours, we decided to

[00:11:10] turn back. As soon as we turned around, there was a loud, distinct tree knock. Both my wife and I

[00:11:18] stopped in our tracks. Now, she doesn't believe in yaois, though she knows about the lore because of my

[00:11:25] interest, but even she admits that it was strange. Half joking, she said, imagine it's like a communication

[00:11:34] method letting others know that we're heading back the way we came. I laughed and said,

[00:11:40] let's turn around again and pretend that we're going to keep going. We'll see if it happens again.

[00:11:47] We turned and took about five steps before hearing another clear, loud knock. At this point, we were

[00:11:55] surrounded by dense bushland. We couldn't see more than 10 meters into the trees, but the knocking sound

[00:12:03] was so close, just out of sight. After the second knock, my wife started to get scared.

[00:12:11] The birds and the insects had gone completely silent. She said,

[00:12:17] okay, that's enough. Let's head back to the car for real.

[00:12:22] We turned around to leave and barely took three steps when there was an enormous cracking sound. It was

[00:12:29] louder than anything I've ever heard in the bush, like a large tree snapping in half or being pushed

[00:12:36] down. We couldn't see the tree, but could clearly hear the sound. The sheer volume was disorienting.

[00:12:44] It was like a gunshot. My wife was visibly shaken and insisted that we leave immediately.

[00:12:52] I agreed, sensing an almost deliberate message. Stop playing games. You know we're here. It's time to leave.

[00:13:02] As we walked back to the car, we talked about the timing and how coincidental everything seemed.

[00:13:08] Nothing else happened on the way out, and we left the area without any further incident.

[00:13:14] To me, the paranormal aspect of these creatures is hard to discount. They seem capable of communicating

[00:13:22] in ways that are clear to those involved, but leave no tangible evidence for third parties.

[00:13:28] It reminds me of Jacques Vallée's musings on mysterious phenomena and their ability to convey messages

[00:13:35] to individuals in profound yet elusive ways. I still hope to have a sighting one day,

[00:13:43] not to capture photos or video, but simply just to confirm their existence for myself.

[00:13:49] Until then, these experiences have remained unforgettable. This year, I'm planning to give

[00:14:21] thoughtful gifts to those friends that I normally wouldn't buy for. Masterclass has been the perfect

[00:14:27] option because they have something for everyone, and it's a gift that lasts a lifetime. Masterclass

[00:15:58] 1981, Denny, California by Jumpy Onion 6367

[00:16:05] When I was a little kid, we moved from Southern California to a cabin in the backcountry, way past

[00:16:12] a tiny town called Denny. We had no running water, no electricity, and no indoor plumbing.

[00:16:20] My dad used to make extra cash packing supplies for people who lived even deeper in the backcountry

[00:16:26] than we did. My dad was, and still is, a bit crazy. He always carried a .45 on his hip,

[00:16:35] and kept a shotgun on his saddle in case of bears or rattlesnakes. He wasn't afraid of anything,

[00:16:42] and most people were afraid of him. One day, he went on a supply trip to deliver goods to a friend of

[00:16:50] ours, about 20 miles from our house. He took his horse, two fully loaded packhorses, and a mule.

[00:16:58] The round trip usually took three days because of the rough trails. He left at sunrise that morning,

[00:17:06] and everything seemed normal. Then, around midnight, my dad came charging into the house,

[00:17:13] white as a ghost, terrified. He had his shotgun in hand, which he immediately handed to my mom.

[00:17:23] Without a word, he started locking the doors and windows and closing the curtains. Then,

[00:17:29] he grabbed the rest of the guns and handed them to my older sisters, telling them to shoot anything

[00:17:35] that tried to get in. This all happened in a matter of minutes. My dad grabbed his large hunting rifle

[00:17:43] and went back outside to secure the animals. Within moments, our dogs started going crazy,

[00:17:50] barking furiously, and the mules and horses began braying and whinnying in panic.

[00:17:58] Barely managing to get the animals into the corral, my dad suddenly came under attack.

[00:18:04] Rocks began pelting the house from the darkness. He fired a couple of random shots into the night

[00:18:10] and ran back inside. For the next few hours, rocks continued to hit the house while we huddled

[00:18:18] together in the main room. Occasionally, we could hear heavy footsteps circling the outside of the house.

[00:18:27] The animals were in complete chaos, their cries echoing into the night.

[00:18:34] Finally, as the first light of dawn broke, the attack stopped. The rocks seized, the animals quieted,

[00:18:43] and the terrifying footsteps faded. My parents waited until the sun was fully up before stepping outside.

[00:18:51] The place was a mess. Tree branches, rocks, and debris were scattered everywhere.

[00:18:58] Fortunately, the animals were unharmed, but the pack contents had been flung and strewn all over the place.

[00:19:07] Later that day, my dad told my mom what had happened.

[00:19:12] He'd been about 12 miles from home when he noticed a horrible smell in the air.

[00:19:18] Soon after, the animals started acting up.

[00:19:21] Then the tree knocks began, followed by rocks being thrown at him from the woods.

[00:19:28] At that moment, he knew he had crossed into their territory, and they didn't want him there.

[00:19:35] He turned his group around and began heading back home.

[00:19:39] But whatever they were followed him.

[00:19:43] Their aggression only escalated as the night went on.

[00:19:47] He estimated there were about 5 adults, and they were furious about something.

[00:19:53] My dad was convinced they would have killed him if he had stopped anywhere on the trail.

[00:19:59] Over the years, living in the Denny area, we had multiple strange experiences.

[00:20:05] But this one was by far the worst, and the most terrifying.

[00:20:10] My Encounter, Washington, 2004, by Butterfly Wings, 1986

[00:20:34] In the autumn of 2004, I was living in a mobile home with my mom in a slightly rural area.

[00:20:42] It was either September or October, and my mom had gone to work.

[00:20:47] I was lying on the unfolded futon in the living room, watching a movie.

[00:20:53] I didn't have to leave for work until around noon, so I was just relaxing.

[00:20:58] For reference, our mobile home was a single wide.

[00:21:01] The living room was at one end and had a lot of windows.

[00:21:06] Next to the living room was the kitchen, followed by my mom's room, then the bathroom, and finally

[00:21:12] my room on the other end.

[00:21:14] Behind the mobile home was a fence, about 6 to 10 feet from the wall, and beyond that

[00:21:20] was somebody else's backyard with a small, yappy dog.

[00:21:24] That morning, mid to late, I was alone in the house, enjoying some personal time.

[00:21:31] The dog in the backyard started yapping its head off, which wasn't unusual, so I ignored it.

[00:21:38] But then I heard grunting, really close to my head.

[00:21:43] At first, I thought that the dog might have found a partner, if you know what I mean.

[00:21:49] But the sound was just far too close, almost like it was right next to my head.

[00:21:55] That's when I realized that the window behind me was open.

[00:21:59] I then heard a voice speaking in what sounded like another language.

[00:22:05] It wasn't just strange, it sounded obscene, and somehow disturbingly sexual.

[00:22:13] Panic set in.

[00:22:15] I grabbed my old school flip phone and I bolted to the bathroom.

[00:22:19] As I ran, I caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye.

[00:22:24] It was a head of dark hair, darting past the kitchen window in the direction I was running.

[00:22:31] I tried calling 911 from the bathroom, but being in a rural area in 2004, I couldn't get a signal.

[00:22:40] Somehow I managed to reach a friend and she called 911 for me.

[00:22:45] While waiting, I heard banging on the walls and on the door of the mobile home.

[00:22:51] It sounded like whoever was outside was running around the entire trailer,

[00:22:57] slamming into everything as if they were trying to terrify me.

[00:23:01] Well, I was terrified, and I ran into the kitchen and grabbed the biggest knife that I could find,

[00:23:08] then retreated to the bathroom.

[00:23:11] Moments later, there was a knock at the front door.

[00:23:13] I yelled,

[00:23:14] Who is it?

[00:23:16] I heard two voices respond, identifying themselves as police officers.

[00:23:23] I cautiously cracked the door open and, sure enough,

[00:23:28] two bored-looking cops were standing in the driveway.

[00:23:31] I explained everything that had just happened, but they didn't seem concerned.

[00:23:37] They didn't even bother to check around the back of the mobile home.

[00:23:41] Instead, they just stood there in the driveway, chatting about something entirely unrelated.

[00:23:48] Eventually they left, without investigating any further.

[00:23:53] I then called my mom.

[00:23:54] I told her about what happened.

[00:23:57] Now, I was too scared to walk all the way to the bus stop,

[00:24:00] which was quite a distance from the house,

[00:24:02] so she came home to take me to work.

[00:24:06] Before getting into the car,

[00:24:08] and feeling more curious than scared since my mom was there,

[00:24:12] I decided to peek around the back of the mobile home.

[00:24:15] What I saw made my jaw drop.

[00:24:18] There wasn't anyone there.

[00:24:21] But the realization hit me like a ton of bricks.

[00:24:24] For me to have seen the top of that person's head as they ran past the window,

[00:24:29] they would have had to be at least 8 feet tall, if not taller.

[00:24:35] Nobody could achieve that height while running,

[00:24:38] unless they were standing on something and there was nothing to stand on.

[00:24:43] The ground behind the mobile home wasn't flat either.

[00:24:47] It was very steep until you reached the fence.

[00:24:50] To this day, I have no explanation for what happened,

[00:24:54] or who or what that was that I saw that morning.

[00:25:19] Woodnox by Chew82 Boo

[00:25:23] I live in East Tennessee,

[00:25:25] about 20 to 30 minutes west of Knoxville,

[00:25:28] and roughly an hour and 20 minutes from Newport.

[00:25:32] I'm about two hours from the North Carolina border,

[00:25:35] which might be slightly important for my theory.

[00:25:39] Last night, at around 1 a.m.,

[00:25:41] I got hungry and decided to go out for some food.

[00:25:45] I took my time,

[00:25:47] driving around for a bit,

[00:25:48] and didn't get home until about 2.15 a.m.

[00:25:52] As soon as I opened the car door,

[00:25:55] I heard a very loud boom.

[00:25:58] It sounded far off,

[00:26:00] but it was different enough to make me stop and listen.

[00:26:04] I waited a few seconds,

[00:26:06] then got out of the car.

[00:26:08] I walked up the road to pick up something

[00:26:10] that had fallen out of one of the cars.

[00:26:13] After tossing it into the back,

[00:26:15] I was just about to close the door

[00:26:17] when I heard another boom.

[00:26:20] This time, it was much closer.

[00:26:24] For context,

[00:26:25] my neighborhood is set up as a cul-de-sac

[00:26:28] on a ridgeline surrounded by heavy woods.

[00:26:32] Behind the houses is a very steep hill

[00:26:34] that drops into a small valley,

[00:26:37] no more than 20 to 30 yards across at the bottom.

[00:26:41] Beyond that is another steep hill

[00:26:44] covered in dense woods,

[00:26:46] essentially two ridges,

[00:26:48] one with houses and one with trees.

[00:26:51] That first knock had come from beyond

[00:26:54] the far ridge behind the house.

[00:26:56] The second knock came from the ridge

[00:26:59] directly across from my house.

[00:27:02] Hearing that second knock,

[00:27:04] I started to feel exposed and anxious.

[00:27:08] I made my way down the steps toward the house,

[00:27:11] but as I did,

[00:27:13] I heard a movement across the street,

[00:27:15] near my neighbor's house.

[00:27:18] That spooked me,

[00:27:19] so I hurried back to the door.

[00:27:22] Before going inside,

[00:27:24] I stood there for a moment,

[00:27:26] trying to calm my breathing.

[00:27:28] Then came the third boom,

[00:27:31] off to my left

[00:27:32] and near the beginning of the neighborhood.

[00:27:35] The rest of the night passed uneventfully,

[00:27:38] but this morning,

[00:27:40] I went outside to clear my head.

[00:27:42] I needed to convince myself

[00:27:44] that what I'd heard

[00:27:46] wasn't what I thought it was.

[00:27:48] About 7.45 to 8.30 a.m.,

[00:27:51] I heard more knocks.

[00:27:53] They were spread out,

[00:27:55] some close,

[00:27:56] some far.

[00:27:58] I've never heard anything like it before.

[00:28:01] Those first three knocks I heard during the night,

[00:28:04] they were massive.

[00:28:06] The ones this morning weren't as heavy,

[00:28:09] but they were still loud.

[00:28:11] I talked to my dad about it not long ago.

[00:28:14] I was shaking the whole time.

[00:28:17] Turns out,

[00:28:18] he heard a knock around midnight

[00:28:20] when he got back home from work.

[00:28:22] He said he was sitting in the truck,

[00:28:24] like he always does,

[00:28:26] when he heard it.

[00:28:27] It made him pause and think for a moment,

[00:28:30] so I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard something.

[00:28:34] Being in East Tennessee,

[00:28:36] and with the hurricane blowing through

[00:28:38] the easternmost part of the state,

[00:28:40] I wouldn't be surprised if they ran from the storm.

[00:28:43] I've never heard anything like this

[00:28:45] in all my time living here,

[00:28:47] and honestly,

[00:28:48] I didn't think I ever would.

[00:28:50] Where I live is a pretty good spot for them,

[00:28:53] if they're around.

[00:28:55] There's plenty of resources here.

[00:28:58] I just hope they don't cause too much trouble.

[00:29:22] Locals Storytime

[00:29:24] by ConstantPenn6597

[00:29:27] About 15 years ago,

[00:29:30] I visited my friend's grandparents' farm

[00:29:33] way out in Willow Creek one summer.

[00:29:36] The grandparents didn't have that much of a farm left.

[00:29:40] It used to be sheep,

[00:29:42] then cattle,

[00:29:43] and then eventually just small livestock,

[00:29:46] chickens and a couple of goats.

[00:29:48] However,

[00:29:49] they still maintained a downsized garden

[00:29:52] where they grew things for the family to enjoy.

[00:29:56] The grandfather was especially excited

[00:29:58] about the cantaloupes,

[00:30:00] which were almost fully ripe on the vine.

[00:30:03] He kept saying how we'd have fresh cantaloupe

[00:30:05] for dessert

[00:30:06] before my friend and I headed home in a few days.

[00:30:09] But,

[00:30:10] we never got to enjoy a single cantaloupe,

[00:30:13] thanks to Bigfoot.

[00:30:16] The morning that we were leaving,

[00:30:18] we woke up to the sound of Grandpa

[00:30:20] yelling and cursing out in the garden.

[00:30:24] We ran to check on him,

[00:30:26] worried because he was the sweetest man I had ever met.

[00:30:30] My friend said that he rarely got upset.

[00:30:33] But when we got there,

[00:30:35] he was fuming,

[00:30:36] throwing his hoe on the ground.

[00:30:38] He then turned to us and shouted,

[00:30:40] God damn squatches!

[00:30:42] God in my god damn garden again!

[00:30:45] And now the bastards are mocking me.

[00:30:47] Look what they did to my beautiful melons!

[00:30:51] In the middle of the garden,

[00:30:52] the cantaloupes had been picked and stacked

[00:30:54] into a perfect pyramid shape.

[00:30:57] On each of the stacked melons,

[00:31:00] there was a huge human-like bite

[00:31:02] taken out of the middle.

[00:31:04] The best part of the fruit.

[00:31:07] Grandpa's frustration was palpable

[00:31:09] and honestly,

[00:31:10] I didn't blame him.

[00:31:12] My friend's grandparents

[00:31:14] lived way out in the middle of nowhere,

[00:31:16] with no neighbors for at least a mile,

[00:31:19] maybe more.

[00:31:20] The rugged country was far too dangerous

[00:31:23] at night for anyone to sneak around

[00:31:25] and pull pranks,

[00:31:26] because bears,

[00:31:27] mountain lions,

[00:31:28] and bobcats were a real threat.

[00:31:30] The garden was fenced off

[00:31:32] to keep deer out,

[00:31:33] but there was a gate

[00:31:34] that something or someone

[00:31:36] could get through.

[00:31:38] I had never encountered Bigfoot before,

[00:31:41] but growing up as a Humboldt County kid,

[00:31:43] I had heard all the stories,

[00:31:46] visited the museum,

[00:31:47] and brushed off Bigfoot as fake.

[00:31:50] But standing there,

[00:31:52] looking at those stacked,

[00:31:53] bitten melons,

[00:31:54] I couldn't deny what I saw.

[00:31:57] Those bites were massive.

[00:31:59] There was no way

[00:32:00] that a human could have made them.

[00:32:03] No local animal,

[00:32:04] not even a bear,

[00:32:05] could have stacked the melons

[00:32:07] in such a perfect pyramid.

[00:32:10] At first,

[00:32:11] I accused my friend and grandpa

[00:32:12] of pulling a prank on me.

[00:32:15] But the grandpa wasn't amused.

[00:32:17] He started telling me stories about Bigfoot

[00:32:19] from when he was a boy.

[00:32:21] He said he used to think

[00:32:23] that the stories were just old native folklore,

[00:32:26] until one night,

[00:32:28] when he swore,

[00:32:29] he heard a Bigfoot

[00:32:30] throwing rocks at the barn.

[00:32:32] No one was in the barn,

[00:32:34] and his parents and siblings

[00:32:36] were asleep inside the house.

[00:32:38] But something big

[00:32:40] was out there in the darkness,

[00:32:41] hurling rocks at that barn.

[00:32:44] Grandpa said that he recognized the sound

[00:32:47] because he and his siblings

[00:32:49] used to throw rocks

[00:32:50] at the barn themselves for fun.

[00:32:52] The next morning,

[00:32:53] he told his dad about it,

[00:32:55] and his father simply replied,

[00:32:57] Son, never disturb a walker.

[00:33:00] You just keep the lights out

[00:33:02] and never go outside

[00:33:03] if you hear that again.

[00:33:06] Sure enough,

[00:33:07] when grandpa checked the barn,

[00:33:09] he found holes in the walls

[00:33:11] and rocks scattered on the ground.

[00:33:13] He said that experience

[00:33:15] taught him to never go outside at night

[00:33:17] unless it was for an actual

[00:33:19] human emergency.

[00:33:22] Looking back,

[00:33:23] I realized that

[00:33:24] explained why grandpa

[00:33:26] locked the house up

[00:33:27] so tightly every night.

[00:33:29] I had assumed

[00:33:30] it was just because

[00:33:31] he lived in the middle of nowhere,

[00:33:33] but

[00:33:33] I knew better.

[00:33:35] That experience

[00:33:37] made me a believer.

[00:33:39] It took me 23 years,

[00:33:41] but after seeing those cantaloupes

[00:33:42] and hearing grandpa's stories,

[00:33:45] I was convinced.

[00:33:47] I never went back

[00:33:48] to that farm again,

[00:33:49] and honestly,

[00:33:50] I'm good with just that

[00:33:52] one Bigfoot story for life.

[00:33:54] I know that the locals out there

[00:33:56] probably have plenty more stories,

[00:33:58] but

[00:33:59] I'm perfectly content with mine.

[00:34:25] My Dad is a Believer

[00:34:27] by Nick the Nail,

[00:34:30] 1324

[00:34:32] I was going to a sports game

[00:34:34] with my dad and little brother,

[00:34:36] and we started talking about

[00:34:37] things that we believe in

[00:34:39] that may or may not be real.

[00:34:42] The conversation started with ghosts,

[00:34:44] to which I said,

[00:34:46] I never much believed

[00:34:47] in the supernatural,

[00:34:48] but

[00:34:49] I believe in aliens.

[00:34:50] In fact,

[00:34:51] I think I heard

[00:34:52] or was near one once.

[00:34:55] I began to tell my story,

[00:34:57] and after hearing it,

[00:34:58] my father said he believed me,

[00:35:00] but didn't think

[00:35:01] what I experienced

[00:35:02] was extraterrestrial.

[00:35:05] Instead,

[00:35:06] he thought it was a Sasquatch.

[00:35:08] He didn't want to explain

[00:35:10] or go into more detail,

[00:35:11] because he didn't want

[00:35:13] to scare my little brother.

[00:35:14] He's pretty young,

[00:35:16] so that made sense to me.

[00:35:18] I wanted to share my story

[00:35:19] and see what you guys think.

[00:35:22] This story takes place

[00:35:23] in eastern Pennsylvania,

[00:35:25] right by the Tohican Creek

[00:35:27] in mid-May.

[00:35:28] It was a scout trip,

[00:35:30] and a friend and I

[00:35:31] were staying up late

[00:35:32] playing some cards.

[00:35:33] It was our responsibility

[00:35:35] to go down at 3 a.m.

[00:35:37] to check on the guys

[00:35:38] who were keeping fires going

[00:35:39] for their vigil ceremony.

[00:35:41] If anyone knows what that is,

[00:35:43] hello, brother.

[00:35:44] If not,

[00:35:45] it's not important.

[00:35:47] To stay awake,

[00:35:49] we had some card games going

[00:35:50] and a couple of energy drinks.

[00:35:53] Around 2.45 in the morning,

[00:35:55] my friend and I

[00:35:56] hear a very loud sound.

[00:35:59] I've always described it

[00:36:00] as being like

[00:36:01] the sound of some

[00:36:02] chopper motorcycle.

[00:36:04] The odd part, though,

[00:36:06] is that

[00:36:06] A,

[00:36:07] it sounded as if

[00:36:08] it was moving

[00:36:09] directly over the top of us,

[00:36:12] and B,

[00:36:12] there's no road

[00:36:14] that runs past

[00:36:14] the building

[00:36:15] we were sitting in.

[00:36:16] The only road near us

[00:36:18] turns off left

[00:36:19] from where we were,

[00:36:20] and we would have seen it

[00:36:22] heading down the hill

[00:36:23] if a motorcycle

[00:36:24] had been there.

[00:36:26] After the chopper sound

[00:36:27] moved over us

[00:36:28] and stopped,

[00:36:29] both of us

[00:36:30] were pretty freaked out.

[00:36:32] We grabbed our flashlights

[00:36:34] and headed down

[00:36:35] in the direction

[00:36:36] the sound had moved

[00:36:37] toward our friends

[00:36:38] and the creek.

[00:36:40] As we made our way

[00:36:42] toward the creek

[00:36:42] and the friends

[00:36:43] keeping their fires,

[00:36:45] we heard a weird

[00:36:46] screaming sound.

[00:36:48] It had an almost

[00:36:50] gurgling quality to it.

[00:36:52] It was loud

[00:36:53] and repeated

[00:36:54] over and over.

[00:36:56] I'm a big guy,

[00:36:58] and so is my friend,

[00:36:59] and it was dark,

[00:37:01] so we weren't moving

[00:37:02] very fast.

[00:37:04] That scream

[00:37:05] kept repeating

[00:37:06] for a few minutes

[00:37:07] at least.

[00:37:09] I've been outdoors

[00:37:10] my entire life,

[00:37:11] and after that night,

[00:37:13] I've gone and listened

[00:37:14] to audio

[00:37:15] of every native

[00:37:15] and even invasive

[00:37:17] animal in Pennsylvania

[00:37:18] and New Jersey.

[00:37:21] Nothing sounds like

[00:37:22] what we heard

[00:37:22] that night.

[00:37:25] When we reached

[00:37:26] our friends,

[00:37:27] they were alright.

[00:37:28] One of them said

[00:37:29] he hadn't even

[00:37:30] heard the noise.

[00:37:32] Granted,

[00:37:32] his fire was nearly out,

[00:37:34] so I wouldn't doubt

[00:37:35] if he fell asleep.

[00:37:37] I wanted to push

[00:37:38] deeper

[00:37:39] toward the creek

[00:37:40] and figure out

[00:37:41] what was making

[00:37:41] that sound,

[00:37:42] but my friend

[00:37:43] convinced me

[00:37:44] to head back in

[00:37:45] with him.

[00:37:47] To this day,

[00:37:48] I sometimes think

[00:37:49] about that night

[00:37:50] and can still hear

[00:37:51] that sound

[00:37:52] in my mind.

[00:38:19] That was a lot of fun.

[00:38:20] I'm really glad

[00:38:21] that we got to share

[00:38:22] all those Bigfoot stories.

[00:38:24] Yeah,

[00:38:24] I like Bigfoot stuff,

[00:38:25] but like I said

[00:38:26] last episode,

[00:38:27] it's just cool

[00:38:28] having a themed episode

[00:38:29] in general.

[00:38:30] Mm-hmm.

[00:38:30] I like how we share

[00:38:31] such a wide variety

[00:38:33] of stuff,

[00:38:33] but this feels all

[00:38:34] fun and special.

[00:38:35] Yeah,

[00:38:36] it does.

[00:38:36] Plus,

[00:38:37] with it only being

[00:38:38] about Bigfoot,

[00:38:39] we don't have much trouble

[00:38:41] getting back on topic

[00:38:42] when we trail off.

[00:38:44] Yeah,

[00:38:45] that is a notable perk.

[00:38:47] So,

[00:38:48] I guess just

[00:38:48] jumping right into it,

[00:38:50] nothing substantial

[00:38:50] to really say

[00:38:51] when do we ever,

[00:38:52] but I noticed

[00:38:53] a lot of the same

[00:38:54] behavioral patterns

[00:38:56] in some of these stories.

[00:38:57] I don't know

[00:38:57] if you picked up

[00:38:58] on some of that.

[00:38:59] I noticed that too.

[00:39:00] Some of my stories

[00:39:01] had rock throwing in it,

[00:39:02] and then two of yours

[00:39:03] had the same thing.

[00:39:05] Yep,

[00:39:05] yep.

[00:39:06] The loud,

[00:39:07] booming knocking sounds too.

[00:39:08] Bigfoot's one

[00:39:09] territorial fellow.

[00:39:11] Yeah.

[00:39:12] I can't say

[00:39:12] I blame him though,

[00:39:13] or her.

[00:39:14] I don't know.

[00:39:15] I say him

[00:39:15] because,

[00:39:17] well listen,

[00:39:17] because my brain

[00:39:18] has always defaulted

[00:39:19] to Harry and the Hendersons

[00:39:20] whenever Bigfoot comes up.

[00:39:22] It's not a gendered thing.

[00:39:24] Don't overthink it.

[00:39:25] Yeah.

[00:39:26] Yeah,

[00:39:27] yeah.

[00:39:27] It's the same for me.

[00:39:28] And off the top of my head,

[00:39:30] I can't think of

[00:39:30] any other movie

[00:39:31] where Bigfoot is a lead character,

[00:39:33] so I don't blame you.

[00:39:34] Okay,

[00:39:34] so there's a show

[00:39:35] from the 70s

[00:39:36] called Bigfoot and Wild Boy.

[00:39:38] But as far as I know,

[00:39:39] I know,

[00:39:40] I'll get into that in a second,

[00:39:41] but as far as I know,

[00:39:43] that isn't a household name

[00:39:44] or anything.

[00:39:44] Correct me if I'm wrong,

[00:39:45] but there's no way

[00:39:46] you've heard of Bigfoot

[00:39:47] and Wild Boy, right?

[00:39:48] I've never heard of this.

[00:39:51] So, full disclosure,

[00:39:52] I only found out about it

[00:39:54] because I got all excited

[00:39:55] about the episode

[00:39:56] and went on

[00:39:56] a Bigfoot rabbit hole.

[00:39:58] Mm-hmm.

[00:39:59] And it was okay.

[00:40:00] A lot of the episodes

[00:40:01] are on the Internet Archive,

[00:40:02] so to answer the question

[00:40:04] you didn't ask,

[00:40:04] yes, I did watch some.

[00:40:06] I was just going to click through

[00:40:08] and get a gist of it,

[00:40:09] but I saw there was an episode

[00:40:10] called UFO.

[00:40:12] I ended up watching most of it.

[00:40:14] Yeah, it looks great.

[00:40:15] I'm looking at screenshots

[00:40:16] right now.

[00:40:17] I actually like the Bigfoot design

[00:40:19] that they did.

[00:40:19] Was it any good?

[00:40:21] I liked it in a bad movie way,

[00:40:23] yeah.

[00:40:23] Mm-hmm.

[00:40:24] A 70s TV show

[00:40:25] with Bigfoot and aliens.

[00:40:27] It's hard to hate.

[00:40:28] It has heart.

[00:40:29] Yeah, that era was so silly.

[00:40:32] Yeah, yeah.

[00:40:33] But yeah, I mean, Harry,

[00:40:35] one of the few Bigfoot faces

[00:40:36] we actually have in pop culture

[00:40:38] to sort of fill in the blanks

[00:40:40] when we picture Bigfoot.

[00:40:41] Yeah, definitely.

[00:40:42] Before I saw that movie,

[00:40:43] I would always just visualize

[00:40:45] Chewbacca or some other Wookiee.

[00:40:47] I think probably from hearing people

[00:40:49] compare Chewie to Bigfoot.

[00:40:51] Yeah, yeah, that's a thing too.

[00:40:53] Funny how both of those

[00:40:55] Bigfoot associations

[00:40:55] are lovable goofs,

[00:40:57] but obviously any real Sasquatch

[00:41:00] that may exist

[00:41:01] shouldn't be taken lightly.

[00:41:02] Hats off to them.

[00:41:03] Respect.

[00:41:04] Yeah, they're terrifying,

[00:41:06] but I think we can all agree

[00:41:07] that there's something majestic

[00:41:08] about them,

[00:41:09] or at least the idea of Bigfoot,

[00:41:11] you know what I mean?

[00:41:12] Yes, yes.

[00:41:13] Bigfoot roaming the woods

[00:41:15] like a tiger roaming the jungle.

[00:41:17] I don't know.

[00:41:17] That was a bad purr.

[00:41:18] Never mind.

[00:41:20] Exactly.

[00:41:21] It's crazy to me

[00:41:22] that we haven't found

[00:41:23] any substantial remains

[00:41:24] of what could only be attributed

[00:41:27] to some sort of Sasquatch creature.

[00:41:29] Yeah, I think about that a lot.

[00:41:31] There's so much more incentive

[00:41:33] for zoologists or whoever

[00:41:35] to uncover or present

[00:41:37] something groundbreaking

[00:41:38] than there is to conspire

[00:41:40] ways to hide it from the public.

[00:41:42] I think we would have found

[00:41:43] something, like you said,

[00:41:44] more substantial by now

[00:41:46] if something was out there,

[00:41:47] but I'm hopeful.

[00:41:48] There could be a reason.

[00:41:49] Maybe his bones,

[00:41:49] maybe their bones

[00:41:51] dissolve into the dirt.

[00:41:52] I don't know.

[00:41:53] I like that.

[00:41:54] You caught yourself.

[00:41:55] Yeah, thanks.

[00:41:56] You know,

[00:41:57] I've always kind of thought about

[00:41:59] or thought of Bigfoot

[00:42:00] as being some kind of

[00:42:02] interdimensional being.

[00:42:03] That's why we're not finding

[00:42:04] any remains of them.

[00:42:05] They just kind of phase

[00:42:07] in and out of our reality.

[00:42:09] They're more of like

[00:42:09] a supernatural being.

[00:42:11] Okay, yeah,

[00:42:12] like a hybrid cryptid

[00:42:14] type of thing.

[00:42:15] Yeah, yeah.

[00:42:15] Or there could be

[00:42:17] some kind of conspiracy

[00:42:18] at play.

[00:42:18] You can't rule that out.

[00:42:20] Yeah, it kind of makes me

[00:42:21] think of the whole

[00:42:22] moon landing thing.

[00:42:23] Like, I like the idea

[00:42:25] that it's all a conspiracy

[00:42:26] or like the earth is flat.

[00:42:28] That's what I meant to say,

[00:42:29] the flat earth thing.

[00:42:31] I think it's a cool idea

[00:42:33] to think like,

[00:42:33] oh, wow,

[00:42:34] wouldn't that be something

[00:42:34] if it really was flat

[00:42:35] all along?

[00:42:36] But there's so many people

[00:42:38] in, you know,

[00:42:40] the science people,

[00:42:42] whatever you want to call them.

[00:42:43] Scientists.

[00:42:44] They would be dying

[00:42:45] to be the one

[00:42:46] to be like,

[00:42:46] aha, I told you.

[00:42:48] Yeah.

[00:42:48] But from what I understand,

[00:42:50] I know a couple people

[00:42:52] that are flat earthers.

[00:42:53] Oh, wow.

[00:42:55] Yeah, yeah.

[00:42:55] And you know one of them.

[00:42:57] Oh, boy.

[00:42:58] And she told me

[00:42:59] it's because

[00:43:00] they don't want us

[00:43:02] believing in the Bible

[00:43:03] because I guess

[00:43:03] the Bible mentions

[00:43:04] the four corners

[00:43:06] of the four edges

[00:43:06] of the earth

[00:43:07] or something.

[00:43:08] I know.

[00:43:09] I've heard about that one.

[00:43:10] Yeah, yeah.

[00:43:11] But whatever.

[00:43:12] I digress.

[00:43:15] Yeah, I just

[00:43:16] I can't see an obvious

[00:43:17] incentive to hide Bigfoot

[00:43:18] like I can with aliens

[00:43:20] and UFOs for

[00:43:22] national defense purposes

[00:43:23] or whatever.

[00:43:25] Mm hmm.

[00:43:25] And there's always

[00:43:26] like the probability

[00:43:27] of at least some

[00:43:28] secret technology

[00:43:29] to keep under wraps.

[00:43:30] Yeah, exactly.

[00:43:31] Well, I don't know.

[00:43:32] Maybe Bigfoot shares

[00:43:33] enough DNA with us

[00:43:34] that the government

[00:43:35] breeds them in labs

[00:43:36] trying to selectively

[00:43:38] breed super humans.

[00:43:40] I can actually see that.

[00:43:41] And if that is the case,

[00:43:42] all you'd really have to do

[00:43:44] is genetically modify Bigfoot

[00:43:45] to have like 90 percent

[00:43:47] of their usual hair

[00:43:48] and get them properly

[00:43:50] socialized when they're young.

[00:43:52] By the year 3000,

[00:43:53] they'd blend right in

[00:43:54] and the average height

[00:43:55] in the country

[00:43:55] would be like seven feet tall.

[00:43:58] That'd be cool.

[00:43:59] Yeah.

[00:44:00] 3000.

[00:44:00] Wow.

[00:44:01] That's that's really hard

[00:44:02] to comprehend

[00:44:03] when you actually

[00:44:04] think about it.

[00:44:05] The leaps that we've made

[00:44:06] in the past 50 years

[00:44:07] are hard to even fathom.

[00:44:08] But I really can't picture

[00:44:10] what life would be like

[00:44:12] in a thousand years

[00:44:14] if we'll even be around.

[00:44:15] I think about that

[00:44:16] all the time.

[00:44:17] What life will be like

[00:44:18] for the last surviving humans.

[00:44:20] It's not going to be

[00:44:21] a fun time.

[00:44:22] Do you even think

[00:44:22] we'll make it

[00:44:23] to the year 3000?

[00:44:24] If we start taking

[00:44:26] better care of the environment

[00:44:27] yesterday,

[00:44:28] preserve natural resources

[00:44:30] and manage not to nuke

[00:44:31] ourselves into stardust.

[00:44:33] Sure.

[00:44:33] Yeah.

[00:44:34] There's a fighting chance.

[00:44:36] So no.

[00:44:39] No comment.

[00:44:41] Yeah.

[00:44:41] Bigfoot would make

[00:44:42] the perfect

[00:44:42] environmental vigilante.

[00:44:44] Hey, good way

[00:44:45] to bring it back in

[00:44:46] back on topic.

[00:44:47] Here we go.

[00:44:48] But yeah, good point.

[00:44:49] It's probably time

[00:44:50] to retire Smokey the Bear.

[00:44:52] Swap him out for Bigfoot.

[00:44:53] To be fair,

[00:44:54] the wildlife situation

[00:44:55] has been pretty

[00:44:56] out of hand

[00:44:57] in recent years.

[00:44:59] I know.

[00:44:59] What the hell

[00:45:00] is Smokey even doing?

[00:45:01] No idea.

[00:45:03] Better send

[00:45:03] McGruff the Crime Dog

[00:45:04] to investigate.

[00:45:06] Yeah, that could work.

[00:45:07] I'm sure he golfs

[00:45:08] with the Supreme Court

[00:45:09] so we'd probably

[00:45:10] get to see some

[00:45:11] Roger Rabbit thing

[00:45:13] of Smokey the Bear

[00:45:14] getting grilled

[00:45:14] by Congress.

[00:45:15] Smokey just nervously

[00:45:17] sitting there

[00:45:17] trying to save his job

[00:45:18] and protect his legacy.

[00:45:21] Ted Cruz

[00:45:22] screaming three inches

[00:45:23] from his face.

[00:45:24] You better explain

[00:45:25] these forest fires, Smokey.

[00:45:27] McGruff just like

[00:45:28] sitting there all smug

[00:45:30] feeling like the

[00:45:30] superior

[00:45:31] anthropomorphic cartoon.

[00:45:33] kicks his feet up

[00:45:34] and lights a cigar

[00:45:35] next to AOC.

[00:45:36] My work here is done.

[00:45:38] What are you doing later?

[00:45:40] Get it together, Smokey.

[00:45:42] Well, Smokey,

[00:45:43] if you are listening,

[00:45:44] consider this

[00:45:45] your fair warning.

[00:45:46] Get it together, bub.

[00:45:47] Yeah.

[00:45:48] Prevent those wildfires

[00:45:49] and maybe Bigfoot

[00:45:51] can form something

[00:45:52] like an anti-litter

[00:45:54] squad instead.

[00:45:55] Well, we're really

[00:45:56] assembling the Avengers here.

[00:45:58] Yeah, yeah.

[00:45:59] A little more cheerful

[00:46:00] than the end of the world.

[00:46:01] True, true.

[00:46:02] But I am glad

[00:46:03] that the paranormal

[00:46:04] true crime

[00:46:06] podcasts and chill crowd,

[00:46:07] they seem to embrace

[00:46:09] at least a little

[00:46:10] doom and gloom.

[00:46:11] Yeah, that's a good point.

[00:46:12] It doesn't all have

[00:46:13] to be sunshine and rainbows

[00:46:15] or on topic, apparently.

[00:46:18] Yeah, that

[00:46:18] JonBenet Ramsey documentary

[00:46:20] is really good.

[00:46:21] That new one that came out.

[00:46:22] Did you watch it yet?

[00:46:23] No, I haven't.

[00:46:24] Hey, it's not funny.

[00:46:25] But anyway,

[00:46:27] I'll just go ahead

[00:46:27] and finish my thought

[00:46:28] about the year 3000 stuff.

[00:46:30] By all means.

[00:46:32] So it's nothing too deep.

[00:46:34] Just that if humans

[00:46:35] do make it to the year 3000,

[00:46:37] I really do think

[00:46:39] it'll probably be

[00:46:40] some cyberpunk dystopia,

[00:46:42] but obviously it won't be

[00:46:43] as cool as it looks

[00:46:44] in Akira or Blade Runner,

[00:46:46] what have you.

[00:46:47] I know, I know.

[00:46:48] It's just going to be

[00:46:49] everyone in Crocs,

[00:46:50] but they always romanticize

[00:46:52] cyberpunk worlds

[00:46:53] to look so rad.

[00:46:54] Mm-hmm.

[00:46:55] Maybe it's so

[00:46:56] instead of resisting,

[00:46:57] we all act excited

[00:46:59] when we see the signs.

[00:47:01] Ooh, yeah, yeah.

[00:47:02] Neon signs

[00:47:03] in a gritty, narrow alleyway

[00:47:05] filled with

[00:47:06] hidden gun shops

[00:47:08] and massage parlors.

[00:47:09] Patrolled by Robocops.

[00:47:11] I mean,

[00:47:12] Tesla bots are a thing.

[00:47:13] Good call.

[00:47:14] Yeah, I'm glad

[00:47:15] that we could do our part

[00:47:15] by manifesting this

[00:47:16] into the universe

[00:47:17] more than it already has been.

[00:47:19] Yeah.

[00:47:20] Like 80-year-old lawmakers

[00:47:21] who screw over

[00:47:22] everybody else's future

[00:47:23] and don't care

[00:47:24] because they'll be dead.

[00:47:26] Yeah.

[00:47:26] And apparently

[00:47:27] hate their grandchildren.

[00:47:29] Naturally.

[00:47:31] Yeah.

[00:47:32] Well,

[00:47:33] oh, okay,

[00:47:33] let's get back to Bigfoot.

[00:47:34] Yes, yes,

[00:47:35] good idea,

[00:47:36] good idea.

[00:47:37] Bigfoot,

[00:47:38] so he probably knows

[00:47:39] what's up

[00:47:40] and that's why

[00:47:41] he doesn't want

[00:47:42] to say hi to us.

[00:47:42] That's what I think.

[00:47:44] Yeah,

[00:47:44] that's what I was saying

[00:47:46] about him being territorial,

[00:47:47] probably super annoyed

[00:47:49] and sees humans

[00:47:49] as solicitors

[00:47:50] coming to his door

[00:47:51] when he's just

[00:47:52] trying to get some dinner.

[00:47:53] You know,

[00:47:53] like,

[00:47:54] we're in his territory.

[00:47:55] He has every reason

[00:47:55] to be pissed off.

[00:47:57] Yeah,

[00:47:58] I look at it that way too.

[00:47:59] Have you seen that video

[00:48:00] of some sort of primate

[00:48:02] that's like running around

[00:48:03] all scared on some machine

[00:48:04] where they're like

[00:48:05] destroying the forest?

[00:48:06] No,

[00:48:07] it sounds wild.

[00:48:08] It's so sad.

[00:48:10] It's so,

[00:48:10] I'm actually,

[00:48:11] I'm legitimately tearing up

[00:48:12] thinking about it.

[00:48:13] No,

[00:48:13] it's so sad.

[00:48:14] They're just tearing down

[00:48:15] this rainforest.

[00:48:16] I'm assuming it's a rainforest,

[00:48:17] whatever.

[00:48:18] Yeah.

[00:48:18] And there's like

[00:48:19] some sort of orangutan

[00:48:20] type of thing

[00:48:21] running away

[00:48:22] and trying to like

[00:48:23] get out of there.

[00:48:24] I imagine Bigfoot

[00:48:25] must feel similarly,

[00:48:26] but I think he would

[00:48:27] F us up.

[00:48:29] Yeah,

[00:48:30] I agree.

[00:48:31] That sounds really depressing.

[00:48:32] I don't want to watch that.

[00:48:33] Yeah,

[00:48:34] no,

[00:48:34] don't watch it.

[00:48:35] Don't watch it.

[00:48:36] On that note,

[00:48:38] thanks everybody

[00:48:38] for listening.

[00:48:40] Yeah,

[00:48:40] might as well.
