Hey, you there, thanks for tuning in.

You're ready for another episode of My big Foot Sighting.

All right, then let's do this.

Seen a bunch of run down, no horse towns where the church is the backbone, lows and the bow and the fasting melodies coove in with the bone man rose with the roofs, run deep beyond the nose of the busy streets with the songs of the South of s.

Then and I hear the prompt Poch picking down home rhythm bringing out I Don't Run from Banjung music.

Yeah, summon.

If you'd like to be able to listen to the show without ads and have full access to bonus content, that's an option.

To find out how, please go to my Bigfoot Sighting dot com.

My most recent they've put sighting happened a month ago, and this happened in California in an undisclosed area that I can't mention right now.

And before I talk about this encounter that I had, I wanted to just go back so you know a little bit about me, have a little bit of background of where I'm coming from.

First, my name is Steven Barrios, also known as Knox Him, which is my Native American name.

And I was a teacher, a science and naturalist teacher for thirty four years right here in California.

And I'm semi retired now.

And I say semi retired because I still go out in the field and do hands on nature science and still track and do a lot of a lot of a lot of a lot of tracking of different animals in my bioregion.

And you know, as a thirty four year veteran naturalists, you know, I've been around right here in northern California most of the time.

I got my start in Snol Wilderness in Premont, California, and then from there I went to the Hayward Shoreline as a naturalist doing doing marshland ecology, and in that area is really interesting because there's a lot of animals that are always walking around in the mudflats.

So as a tracker, learning my skill is because I do a lot of flaster tracking of creatures and I was also teaching tracking classes there, so you know, I was able to develop my skill plaster casting, and it's an art skill that I do to this day.

And it was like one of my main stays as a naturalist.

You know, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

I work with groups of folks anywhere from sixth grade all the way to college.

And there's usually fifteen in my group with two chaperons, and I'm out there teaching them about nature and ecology, you know, Sierra Nevada Mountains.

And one of my main things on Thursdays is okay, you know, there's like a leave no trace or don't take anything from nature.

As a science teacher, you know, I wanted people to learn about nature.

And one of the ways that I could do it is that on that Thursday, I teach them how to do animal tracks.

So folks that came with me all those times, they learned how to do animal tracking.

And you know, it's a wonderful thing hiking around with fifteen kids and two chaperons all those years.

But now that I'm retired, you know, I'm thirty five, I'm sixty five years old.

Now I relish the opportunity to go out on my own now in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

You know, several years ago now, I did come across the Sasquatch there, and I want to talk about that another time actually, because we're talking about the more recent time right now, And folks, I do this for a living.

You know, I go out in nature.

I don't watch too too much TV.

I make sure that I you know, if I'm watching TV, I'm giving nature an equal time zone so that I balance what I feel is my bi rhythms and equilibrium.

So I spend a lot of time outside and that's one of the reasons why I became a naturalist in the first place.

And you know, I do have a master's degree in science education that's for science and recreation and AA in art.

So my career I was able to blend all these things together and be a feature of nature.

But like I said, now, nowadays I'm I'm more or less a freelance naturalist and I enjoy going out in nature alone.

Now look at I'm a professional naturalist, so I don't advise any people to go.

You know, there's always safety in numbers.

However, you know, like I said, this is something that I've been doing for many, many years.

And you know, thank the Creator I keep coming back and allows me to come back.

I've been able to go out there and track a lot of you know, interesting beautiful animals here in California, outlying black bear, packs of coyotes, wolves, and and now just most recently attracted sasquatch.

So this is my recent Sasquatch encounter Bickford.

You know, people call you call I like the name Sasquatch.

I just love that name.

And I have to tell you how this came to be.

It's it's an amazing story to me even right now.

And you know I've been I was retired from my job up in the Sierra about the mountains for you know, three or three years.

So I was living in Calaveras County, living with my uncle at that time, and I was out there at Lake Comanche at this particular time, and I was tracking a black bet that was, you know, not too far away from from where we were at, and you know, I wanted to plaster casts a few of those beautiful black bear tracks.

So it's falling around this black bear, and I got a phone call actually from one of my cousins who was telling me that they were telling me that, you know, my godson, who was a trucker, was driving through a remote area here in California, and as he drove by, he came across the Sasquatch and he's a trucker and he had to stop.

And you know, he was a skeptic at that point in time.

He even japped me at how I was such a believer in it, because you know when skeptical people that's that's just that's just the way they are until they see it for themselves.

Right.

So, anyway, he came across the Sasquatch and it was like at three o'clock in the morning.

And then the next day he gave me a phone call and you know, I'm his godfather.

He said, Nino, Nino, we don't have any twelve foot gorillas in California.

Do we?

And you know I just now whoa.

My eyes just lit up like you just you know, I've been waiting for this opportunity.

Now, another time I'll come on the show and I'll tell you about my experiences with the Sasquatch in the Sierra Nevada Mountain.

This happens to taking place in another area.

However, I was waiting for my opportunity because I'm always on the lookout or incredible report.

You know.

Uh, you know, my tracking bag is always full as everything I need and it's always packed.

It's my plaster of Paris, my ho horiy, water containers, mixers, you name it that I need in there.

It's in there first aid kit.

So when my gutson told me that he had seen this sasquatch, and you know, okay, soon as you've seen one, you know, your whole world changes.

You're never going to be the same.

I think you're even better than you were before.

And the reason why I say that is because of the multitudes of human beings that we have here, You're one of the few people that have actually seen it.

So you just actually went from a skeptic, a non experiencer, to a believer and an experience er.

It has split second, so it's a it's an amazing phenomenon.

And I'm gonna let you know I have a master's degree in science.

I don't want to point that out all the time.

I mean, I'm proud of what my achievement is, but I'm letting you know, man, I'm an absolute one hundred percent believer and the saw squatch.

And I'm going to continue why and then you'll you'll you'll know why I'm I'm not believer in this way.

So I said to my godson, give me the coordinates right now where where where did this take place?

You know?

And you know, he said, and you know with Google and everything, you know, we the internet and connections are well.

I got that.

I got that message from him, you know, And like I said, my bags are always packed, and I just threw all my gear in my truck and the next day I went out.

I went out to this area.

And now, look, folks, I'm sixty five years old, right, Like I said, this is something that I do.

So I don't recommend you going out there like I do.

Let me do my thing and I'll come back with information for you if I'm allowed to come back.

So I went over there and I got on you know, this Syria has the rest stop close by to proximity where the subsquatch sighting was like seven eight miles away.

But so I was able to get close to where I could park my truck.

And then I had to go into that forest, you know, and got my gear and I went hiking in there, and then sure enough I caught onto the Sasquatch's trail.

And I'm going to let you know, folks, you know, everybody, everybody in the world, you know, Bigfoot, you know this big foot.

You know, the toes are all perfect and and you know everything that you could think of, like perfect footprints, you know those are rare.

You know, you have to be like in a sandbar, you have to be like in mud where this you know, close shoreline.

You know these creatures they live in higher altitudes than than then we we go up.

You know, we don't every result.

Well, how can you got find this and that?

You know they live in higher altitudes.

We don't know go up there got be tough man, and it's a little difficult, very difficult.

So we don't normally go into their habitat.

But on this particular day, I cut onto that trail and you know we're talking okay, we're talking one thousand, two hundred foot level.

We're talking in oak woodland.

And you know, it had rained heavily for like five six days there in this in this territory, and the ground was heavily saturated.

So when I got onto this trail, I found these really highly unusual tracks.

And when the reason why I were highly unusual is because this area is an oak woodland, but it's associated with the grassland.

So the environment has a lot to do with the way the tracks are because the Sasquatch he weighs a lot.

He's you know, he's eleven footer, he weighed, he laying a thousand pounds, big boy, big, big Sasquatch, big Sasquatch.

And his footprints he's so big and the ground was so saturated right there that when he steps on the ground, man, he the digits.

I mean the ground squirts out on both sides.

And you know, and because it's not even terrain, he's going up hill and he's going they're they're they're small hills.

However, you know there's a great there's a grade to the hillside right there.

In his big weight, he's slipping and sliding.

So some of these tracks.

I was looking at him.

I was, oh, you know what, you know, I look for abnormaladies in nature.

Right I went in there, I go, you know what if he's still here, he left Marx.

Now, a lot of people will always look at the high marks, always looking at it, you know, eight foot trees, branches that are snapped in two or whatever.

This I got lucky actually because you know, once I got onto his trail and I had to go in there, I actually found his feeding, his feeding grounds.

And with this sasquatch was doing in this particular time, is that he was reaching in Okay, this hillside was just full of boulders and he could he could reach in with his left hand.

They could pull boulders out that are bigger than bowling balls, like their marbles.

For one thing, now, a bear, you know black bears in California.

You know they have they have nails and when they dig into the earth, they go backwards.

They they get their claws in there and then they pull, they pull that that boulder.

They go back.

They don't throw rocks forward.

Their their their their claws are designed to go backwards.

So anyway, the sasquatch not only can he pull out boulders and push him behind him, he could pick them up and throw them in front of the only creature that could do such a thing is human being.

But we can't even get close to that.

This creature can do in an area, you know, it needs a lot of food, and you know this area I was in actually there has a lot of excellent carrying capacity for it, you know, food space, water, shelter, and and he could sustained him and the family of sasquatch as a matter of fact, it's not just one sasquatch, big pat as you if you like to call him.

But so I went in there and I was actually utterly amazed, now as the science teacher all these years that came in there, and here I am, I'm finding I'm finding these tracks, and I mean to me, I hit the jackpipe because I look for stuff like this.

You know, I can't go into full detail on a lot of the stuff off on how I was able to google up further and actually connect with the sasquatch, you know, maybe later even maybe maybe not right now.

Let me let me just tell you, you know, my thoughts on it right now is that this area where the sasquatch is feeding, you know, a black bear, Like I'll go back to the black bear.

They'll do a few rocks and they'll push it backwards and they'll leave whatever is in there really quick, and you know, and then they'll they'll move forward.

There's there's grubs in there, right There's there's small little invertebrates that that that a bear will eat, and they're omnivores, so they'll build lead, they'll need anything that's in there.

Well, this sasquatch this feeding grounds is over seventy five yards in a single line.

That means that this subsquatch was actively pursuing prey by pulling out these boulders, flipping them on the back, throwing them on front, sticking his hands in the mud, right right, hands, left hands in the mud, and in his feet, and they were you know, like I said, it was really slippery right there, so on the grass looked right there.

He was slipping and sliding, pulling out rocks, grabbing prey.

Now this prey isn't just grubs right there, there's a whole line.

So that's unbelievable amount of energy that's that was in pursuit of prey.

So we're talking small rodents.

We're talking you know, reptiles that are sleeping in there because it was it was cold, so there were snakes in there.

We're talking grubs of various kinds of beetle grubs, whatever was in there, my shoes, bowls, anything that this sasquatch can get, he was getting.

And what you and I if we were going to pull out a boulder and we were going to scoop up a mouth mouse to put it in our mouth to eat, you know, we would cut our hands.

Our thumbs will beat, you know, right next to right next to our fingers, and we cup it and pull it into us.

That's how a sasquatch.

That's that's what I learned after this sasquatch that he goes in there, cups his hands, pulls whatever, and he's eating.

You know, he's an omnivor about it.

Right here, you know, he's eating whatever's in there.

And there's probably also you know, there was brodea bulbs in there.

Another while animal foods is the horse that it could eat.

But I was totally impressed with this area.

I just couldn't believe it actually, and that was I thought I was gifted.

You know, it's the kitted me of my naturalist science career.

Here I am in this one area and I have just come across a big foot beating grounds.

Well, like I told you, I'm going, wa, man, you know, I'm having my mind blone in many ways because the presence of the sasquatch.

You could just feel it around you can.

Yeah, the tracks are absolutely fresh, And I was going, well, man, it's here, it's here, like I'm here, and you know I am, I know, I got my backpack right then, and then I plaster casts of my first track of eight teen tracks that I have so far.

And I say so far because I'm actually getting ready for my next expedition, which is going to be happening in another week or two, and I'm actually going to get out again.

And so anyway, I saw this one track, my very first track that I plaster casted.

It was actually a hand track.

You know, it was so unusual.

I looked at that, and I was looking at it and wow, you know, that's just so weird.

I would have to plaster cast this track, and sure enough it's a beautiful track, and lifted it out of ball.

Theer went in there any scoop something up and really beautiful and impression.

And the thing with these tracks that I have is that, you know, okay, now interesting.

You know, Like I said, I carry a lot of plaster and I carry my backpacks, and I'm pretty pretty much equipped to do the job.

So I had to go in there with this subsquatch always really looking by me, actually was speaking peeking behind me, speaking in me.

He was like, I've seen him and he's seen me, and will I believe he let me alone to just do what I what I was doing.

He was very curious, very looking at me behind trees.

But uh, I just started at that one point plaster cast tracks and that first one right there, okay, that was my first day encounter.

And then wow, you know that one track took me a lot of plaster.

That's another thing.

You know, these plaster casts and tracks I have, they all of them took three to four times more plaster than I would do a black bear easily, easily.

And like I said, I saw this, I found this heating grounds and I actually plaster casted more handprints than I have footprints.

They only have like six footprints.

The rest are hand prints.

And you know they we had ton right because okay, so I had to do them one at a time, and this is like over a ten day period.

In the first day, boy, I'll tell you, okay, came across the Sasquatch right away in the forest and plaster casted that one track, and it was getting late, so I went back.

I had my trick and I went to the rest stop, which I told you earlier was like seven miles away from where this took place.

And I'm I'm in my truck at this rest stop.

I call it my favorite rest stop.

Now, you know, some people might not think that this is the Some people probably haven't even countered this.

I'm sure they have.

Anyway, Liz, sasquatch hiked around that mountain at seven miles and he came right to my truck.

And I couldn't sleep anyway that night.

I was like totally just incapacitated.

I was watching TV on my phone right or my body is situated where my head is at my my steering wheel, you know, my passing the doors facing out into the into the wilderness in the mountains.

That sasquatch came down that mountain and he came right to my truck and he looked right at me right through my window, put his left hand on my truck window right there.

His right hand was on my quarter panel, and he had a lean down because he's so big, he says, old head was looking right at me through my window, and you know, he was checking me out and I was checking him out.

I couldn't move.

You're not you're not going to be able to move or I was unable to move.

I was like totally incapacitated and fascinated looking at it and it looked at me, which what I thought was a smile at first, and I could, like I said, there was no moving, There was no moving.

I couldn't.

I actually felt like my stomach was the game and not.

And I looked at that sasquatch and earlier, you know, I had a bunch of granola bars and peanut butter bars right here and the it was in the back of my truck.

I forgot to bring them in.

Now they were all going to be for him anyway, him and I because I do like, you know, peanut butter cups and you know, stuff like that.

So but he right then he found the bag full of granola bars and everything right in the back of the truck.

He grabbed it and he took a big bite out of it.

Now that's plastic, that's paper, along with the granola bar, you know, the chocolate bars.

He found it, thinking about three or four of those.

But he chewed that.

Didn't really like it.

I didn't understand it.

You know, we wouldn't like that either.

We take a big bite of a plastic bag full of paper granola what the heck?

You know, lean back down and it looked at me, and they didn't like that and the next look that game, because I don't think it was very pleasant.

Then he went and he took off back in the forest and I was just there in my truck.

And let's just say I had to get out of my truck for a little while, right.

I didn't drive away, believe or not.

You know, the rest unfortunately had a bathroom in there, and I spent the rest three hours in the bathroom, I believe.

And then you know, it kind of shipped me up in a way.

It surprised me like crazy to come out to my truck like that.

But.

I felt that I don't know what.

I don't know how to tell you this, but I said, you know what, he isn't going to chase me away, you know, like I've been looking for you my whole life, sasquatch.

I'm not leaving right now just because it came my truck try to scare me away.

So this turned into a ten day tracking experience for me where I was able to plastercast as many tracks as I have, and like I said, I have more hand tracks to put tracks, and I don't have a death wish or anything like that.

Like I said, I'm a little tract or an actimistic.

These are things that I'd like to do.

I'd like to spend my time in nature, hands on nature, me and nature.

Like right now, you know, the wintertime in California, this is this is one I love.

I'll love to go out.

You know, the harshest weather is going to show you the best stop.

So well, that's one of the reasons why I'm heading out again right now.

I'm not just going after Sasquatch tracks.

I'm after both tracks black Bear.

Muh, it's just just something I do.

I love to give Christmas gifts black Bear tracks for Christmas gifts for friends and family.

So each day that I went out, there was a struggle to do to track because each track that I plaster casted, each one weighs more than your average track.

So when you're tracking this thing, you've got to go in there with a backpack, pull of plaster, water, mixing, uh, your your digging material instruments and everything, and then you know that has to dry.

So I was plaster casting one track, leaving it overnight, coming back, putting another plaster cast in another, taking that one out, rotating and going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, one, two, you know, just one after another and a little difficult, but you know, it really exhilarating just the thought of it, and then just knowing that there's a sasquatch thereby you.

It's gonna it's going to your your alert elevation or at least mine, you're going you're skyrocketing.

You have adrenaline in there.

Right, It's been unexplainable in ways.

Then you know, I was fortunate to be in that one area.

And okay, I'll have to give you a little bit of a secret of mine and said, okay, I did gift this creature a few things, and it accepted them.

And every time I gifted it something, it gave me something back.

It left me little pyramid rocks and left me broken branches where they don't belong.

And it just let me know that it was around, and I let it know that I was around, you know, And I believe it just allowed me to do with iused to cast my tracks and I have twenty five as a goal.

I have eighteen right now, and you know, I actually might hope we even get more than that, but I haven't hit it back.

Dude, to go tracking, like I said, and It's always a tricky thing because you know, there's more than just a saucequatch there.

I mean, there is even the elements of the landscape itself, you know, you know all this rain, landslides, it's it's tough to rain.

But I'll be all right.

Like I said, I have a friend of mine and I let know where I go in.

I go in at a certain time, when I come back at a certain time, so I do I have to do a good connection there.

And like I said, I'm sixty five year old naturals now, so I don't go out in the bush and spend the night like I used to go out and go out, go in early and come in or nightfall.

That's my tracking days.

So you know the.

Sasquatch, Yeah, they're they're They're definitely a real, a real you know what.

I call them a humanoid creature because the tracks that I have, you know, their hands are quite similar to primates.

And not only that they have dermal ridges.

Dermal ridges are spotted on these tracks that I have, both with prints and ham Prince and just the enormity of the tracks themselves, you know.

So and what I'm getting at now with these tracks is okay, well, you know, because they do get asked play in the world.

What you want to do is such a do this in track and you know with the hook you're risking your life and all these things.

And you know, as a science teacher, you know, I have to let you know that we have to mix and match.

So the more samples that you have of something to examine, the more evidence that you have to examine with.

So if we have all these tracks, and you know a lot of them are totally bizarre or unexplainable, they're actually they can be explained and science can explain them.

So we have these tracks now, and you know these so we're all.

What I'm looking for in these tracks right now is to get them analyzed by other trained professionals in the field, whatever they may be, cryptozoology, uh, mammology, of primatology.

I'd like to get these hands examined.

It.

I believe there's a pH d gentleman a step a step on, uh sorry, eno, I believe a primate and specialists.

I would like to have him take a good look at the tracks that I have.

But I'm more than open to anybody to look at them.

And I'm looking to get them x ray because you know, these hands that are going into the earth, you know, they're they're they're they're incredible, the bizarre looking, you know, and so you know, we've got to take the tracks to the next level.

So we're talking X ray, We're talking getting them laser scan.

Uh, we're talking having them all together as a unit so people could actually look at them and examine them.

And like I said, uh, you know, and the deep ecological, long term goal I believe that we're thinking about here.

It's okay, look at I'm not I'm not in it to pro fame all that stuff.

I just know what I know.

So I'm gonna let you know what I know.

And at some point this animal should be registered as a as a legitimate creature of science.

Who does not want to be known by science.

You know, they're they're really shy creatures.

They don't they don't really want to have a whole lot of human beings.

Uh.

And they're curious, right, They're curious enough to come and check me out what I'm doing.

And you know, I'm looking in I'm thoughtful enough to them to know that I'm not a threat to them, because they know what they know, what guns are, they know what a threat is.

That's why a lot of these a lot of big butt researchers out there, they play peekaboo because of the subsquatch.

You know, they're being intruded on.

It's not like we're invited just into their habitat.

They're done that.

What is going on here?

There's a lot of people, you know, researchers, and okay, a lot of that has come to light and we've come to this point and with all of our collective experiences and photographs and tracks and you know, we all you know, there's a lot of people that come they see them now, and they're being seen across this country and elsewhere in the world.

You know, our world is expanding, so naturally we're going to come across them time to time, and we as a human species need to think of other creatures out there.

The santam is the top of the food chain.

It needs a lot of space.

So who said we need to preserve not you know, not conserved, but actually preserve certain areas where these animals they live, and there's an entire food chain that goes along with them.

So not only do we protect the sasquatch.

We protect every single animal that's in an ecosystem.

So I don't know, I don't know if that's the bottom line or all I know is that we have these tracks.

You know, we'll get them X rayed and checked out, and like I said, hopefully at some point in time, you know, I'll tell you something.

Even in Washington State right now, Oregon, there is legislation and there's signs and parks and there's a lot of things going on out there.

Yeah, so bigfoot folks out there.

Uh, just wanted to interest to you.

Also.

You know, our human time, our good time is to go into parks and things during the day and go with a few friends, you know, and enjoy nature hikes.

Things like that.

You see a sasquatch, Yeah, that's a wonderful thing.

You know, they'll go over asking them and things like that.

That's where I'm at with this sasquatch endeavor, this lifelong endeavor of mine.

I want to thank you for listening in.

I can tell you also right now that over a ten day period, this sasquatch was able to and I don't know how to explain it, but it was able to communicate with me and let me know what it was thinking.

And that's why I came out.

That's why I was telling you earlier.

You know that it knows, it knows what, it knows what a hunter is.

It knows what a gun is.

And when I go out there, I don't carry a gun.

That's one of the things that the subsquatch actually checked me out on it.

So you're not a killer, I said, no, I'm no killer.

I'm a teacher.

You know, he was asking me what I want.

Its voice is just so strong.

You better be prepared, you don't, you know.

Yeah, that's another thing.

We're not prepared to hear such things.

But you know, I put myself in there in the line to hear that.

So it's voice is so deep and so strong that it will if you're not ready for worry, it'll it don't it'll make you shake your shoes.

You know, you'll you'll run, You'll have to your your fear factor will be maximized.

So they're they're actually, you know, nothing, full with nothing.

You know, they're they're the biggest things in the forest.

But some some reason you know that they know they know that better not mess with us.

We're we're looking nothing but bad news for them.

So it's communication skills are absolutely phenomenal, by the way, and when I left the mountains, I was being communicated with through miles and miles being away and actually even for a week afterwards, and then they didn't get any messages or received anything from it.

It is a busy creature.

It has to move, it has to go, and that's to go where all the food resources are.

So it's not going to wait around for me all the time there.

But you know, I'm gonna go see if I could get on his trail again, and good Lord willing, I'll be able to come back share more of my research with you.

So I swell thank you for having me.

Well that's it for tonight show.

If you've had a big Foot siding and would like to be a guest, please go to my Bigfoot Siding dot com and let us know.

Thanks for listening.

Have a great night seeing a bunch of run down new host towns where the Church of the Backbone loos and in the fasting melodies coove in, but the bomb Man rose with a roosse run deep beyond the nose of the busy streets, with the songs of the south of su Then I mean I hear the promp porch picking down home rhythm, bring a nut.

I don't run from Banjong music.

Yeah, the sound of a memory brings me back to the bluegrass playing the Madadi jack.
