Elevate the Extraordinary: Support U.S. Phenomenon!
The Northwest home for paranormal. You're listening to us phenomenon, with your host, Mario Magana, From the Pacific Northwest, in the shadow of the 1962 World's Fair, the Space Needle. Good evening, I am your host, Mario Magana. This is Northwest or US Phenomenon? Wow, I haven't said that in such a long time. Tonight we have a fascinating guest. He is the renowned Sasquatch investigator.
Speaker 1:A member of the Kwakwa Kiwa First Nations tribe in northern Vancouver Island, Canada. He has dedicated decades to exploring the wilderness of the Northern Islands and across the United States. He is the founder of the popular Facebook group Sasquatch Island, where he shares his extensive knowledge and experience with Sasquatch. His unique perspective combined traditions of the Kwakwaka'w stories with his own bushcraft and Kiwa stories with his own bushcraft and hunting experience, offering comprehensive understanding of these elusive creature. In addition to his investigation work, he is deeply involved with the preservation of sharing the culture, the history of his tribe, particularly the stories and the ceremonies related to, I believe, if this is right, the Juniqua, the Sasquatch figure in the Quackaw-Kiwa culture. His passion for both his heritage and his research make him a captivating storyteller and respected figure in the Sasquatch community. It is my pleasure to welcome back. If I can figure out how to turn my own camera back on Tom Seawood to US Phenomenon. Welcome back to the show man. It's been forever. It's been a while, that's for sure it has been. Thanks for having me back on.
Speaker 2:Hey, it's been a while, that's for sure it has been.
Speaker 1:Having me back on, hey, it's always a pleasure to have you on, you know, for those who don't know you, I mean I know I saw you on a documentary man like I. I can say this now, this was four years ago because it was like pandemic time when I saw you on the, this podcast girl, she, I think her name was bigfoot girl or something like that yeah, and um, I was just, I was like, wait, here I am, you know, being all like huffy and puffy. I'm like, wait, she, these guys are podcasters and they have their own tv show. And so I'm all like all huffy and puffy, like why don't I have my own tv? And clearly, as soon as it got to the part where they decided to go do this investigative work in and they were on the island, right, they came to Victoria, or well, to Vancouver Island, to do some investigative work, but they came with you. And then after that it was like dude, why is this guy not doing, why is he not the podcast guy? And it just to me. I after that it was like dude, why is this guy not doing, why is he not the podcast guy? And um, it just to me. I felt like I was like, wow, he just stole the show. So you've always been, as I've always been, captivated by the story and rich uh history that you shared on that piece. But, tom, I know some of the experiences that we've talked about.
Speaker 1:This time of year it changes the fall season's here. There's so much to cover. We have to cover on the show this evening podcast For those that are watching. Feel free to send us a text or, if you're listening, 775-990-5151. Tom, what the heck have you been doing? I know I've seen some stuff on your website and some stuff on the Instagram and Facebook In regards to you now doing because you're out, not in Kent, but you're out in. Is it Squim? You're out in Squim now, right? No, I'm in Forks, washington.
Speaker 2:Forks In the.
Speaker 1:Olympic Peninsula. That's right. I mean, all the girls are probably really mad at me now that twilight, all the twilight fans are like oh, he's not that you know. Wrong place, mario. Wrong place, no, but you're out there in twilight town.
Speaker 1:yeah, you are in twilight town, so let's talk about, um, what's been going on out there? And I mean, the summer is now long gone. Well, it's now gone, we're in the autumn, but what happened this summer up there, with everything up there and that being the national park up there, the Olympic National Forest being in the area Within your summer research, what has been some of the stuff that has been collected this summer from what your accountants have been?
Speaker 2:Well, the main thing is I have. Last week, april I took a job with Sasquatch legendcom, which has a store and an online store and here in Forks, washington, and they needed a worker. So I came out intending to put maybe four weeks in and then go back home to Kent, washington, and enjoy the summer, but after three weeks here, you know, I decided that I really liked this job. It's, you know, you got my native art, like the shirt that I'm wearing, that we make and sell and they have numerous designs of mine shower curtains, bath mats, tumblers, cups, you name it. They, they make it with the designs of sasquatch and a lot of it has my stuff on it. And then you meet all these people coming in the store and every week I get one or two reports of from tourists, people from around the us and canada coming here that have seen a sasquatch on the side hills, when they're driving on the olympic peninsula or crossing the road in front of them before day, before that day break, or even at night. One guy had one run across there just by a bridge. So working at the store opens up a lot of encounter reports for me and and mainly on the Olympic Peninsula. But I hear people from around the US and Canada, you know, giving me reports. Even South America and Central America people that come in as tourists share with me their stories of Sasquatch. So it's pretty interesting on that level.
Speaker 2:But, number one, I get a paycheck and I get money for the art that I produce as well, and I live right here in downtown Forks. But the best part is I'm on the Olympic Peninsula and we all know the Olympic project with Derek Randles, shane Corson and others. They operate here too, and when I first got here, you know I reached out to them and parlayed and said you know, I'd like your you know protocol and permission if I can investigate over in the Forks area. And Shane just laughed he goes, tom, the Olympic Peninsula is vast, he goes. We don't even get over to the Forks area, so have at it. So that right away made me an investigator. And you know where's the food? I'm here in May. So what are they eating? The berries aren't out. The fawn drop hasn't taken place yet.
Speaker 2:I thought the salmon and steelhead weren't in the river systems. But once I started talking to the locals I found out that the salmon and steelhead are year round on the rivers throughout the Olympic Peninsula, which is, you know, amazing, because up in British Columbia the salmon start coming in and about end of July and run through until about the end of November and that's it. And then the winter steelhead will come in but the stocks are so depleted by overfishing and logging damage and by seal and sea lion predation that there's hardly any steelhead in our river systems in British Columbia South. But out here it's a whole different story, you know, it's just abundant salmon and trout. And you can tell because when you're by the rivers, like I was today with Peggy investigating, there's flocks of merganser ducks which eat baby salmon and trout, and they're all over the place. And then you have the deer, the elk, the elk, and peninsula is surrounded in beaches, so at low tide the buffet table set for the sasquatch and other humans. So it's a really unique place, the olympic peninsula, and it's on like donkey kong when it comes to sasquatches. We even get reports of white sasquatches here on the olympic, the map you're seeing that's my Vancouver Island map and when you click the icons a little window comes up explaining what was encountered or heard or track saw. But on the Olympic Peninsula we just finished, we're still working on a map but it's active. We just don't have it up on SasquatchIslandcom yet but it's soon to come and uh, peggy's got some traveling to do my wife and when she gets time she'll put the olympic peninsula map up so everyone can see the reports that uh, my friend, carrie kilmurry, who makes the map, that she pulled from the internet and books and other you know recordings and then also the reports that I've been gathering almost on a weekly basis, two or three reports from the Olympic Peninsula about people seeing them.
Speaker 2:But one of the things that really captivates me about the Olympic Peninsula is there's from ocean shores, the Quinault Indian tribes, territories northwards throughout the peninsula peninsula. There's reports of white sasquatches and then the reports vary from big ones to smaller ones and so forth, which to me you know right away. When you hear of a white sasquatch or a gray sasquatch you automatically equate that it's an elder and that's why it's white. Just like me I got white hair because I'm old. Well, one of the things that I think that's going on in the olympic peninsula is western puget sound area and through the islands in the middle it's nothing but a mega city, and down south you got aberdeen and westport and all the way up to the bottom end of Puget Sound. So it's almost like the Sasquatches on the Olympic Peninsula are isolated in the peninsula area due to the urban sprawl that's gone up in the last 150 years and, I think, just like British Columbia and Princess Royal and another island where we have white black bears that aren't albino and another island where we have white black bears that aren't albino. It's because they were isolated after the Ice Age on these islands and interbreeding happened which made the Kermode bear the white black bear.
Speaker 2:And I'm speculating, but you know, I think that might be the reason why we have white Sasquatch sightings here on the peninsula. There might be some inbreeding going on, because I noticed that when I was in omaha indian reserve, which is an enclave of hardwood forest within the boundaries of the indian reserve all around it is just corporate type farms and flatlands. But when I saw two sasquatches and a fleur device in omaha indian reserve, masonry, nebraska, what really caught my eye was the hang lip. Both of them had hang lip like they were a mongoloid almost, and they had that glazed donut like they got hit upside the head with a two-by-four stunned look about them as these two Sasquatches were just loping through this field and I think there's inbreeding going on in omaha indian reserve with sasquatches and possibly here on the olympic peninsula, which when you say inbreeding, you're talking within, within the the sasquatch, their own little group of individuals, right, like so you're saying within the tribe of a sasquatch flock, I guess is what we'll call it I don't know what else to call it.
Speaker 1:So, if you have, you know what, however, that may be. So, essentially this these smaller groups are sticking together, but there's not, they don't have the ability or they're not moving around enough to to meet. I mean, maybe there should be like a, like a facebook dating for sasquatch. I mean, not that they use technology, but uh, I mean, I already have my own issues in regards to dating, but in regards to, to to a bipedal creature who doesn't use any type of technology, this makes it very difficult and while you were saying that about the inbreeding stuff, it made me think about the 2020 pandemic, where most people who were living in the city pushed out further into, like Shelton and in other areas that were more desolate, and I know that a lot of people now go that are like in the back to work phase of they're like, hey, you got to go back into the office, so like, well, I don't, I don't live near the city anymore, I'm 150 miles and the employer's like, well, we don't care.
Speaker 1:But in regards to what you're referring to about inbreeding and seeing white sasquatches, now, when you say white sasquatches, a lot of people when you think of the white Sasquatches Now, when you say white Sasquatches, a lot of people, when you think of the Sasquatch Bigfoot, you think of a dark creature, right. And then when we start to talk about like a white Sasquatch, do we start to think of like Alaska, like, almost like some type of like. They're not the same. I mean, what would change in regards to characteristics of a white Sasquatch versus one being here and not being like some? I don't know, I don't, I is. Are there different types of breeds of Sasquatches? Like I'm Latino, you know you're native American, or your first nations tribe, you're indigenous to, you know to this area, but do Sasquatches playing those same? I guess? I guess they would play in that same realm. They would be different types of Sasquatches, right?
Speaker 2:I don't want to get into that because you know I can only speak for where I've been. You know, throughout western canada, northwest territories, pacific northwest, you know washington state and omaha indian reserve, our omaha area, but you know you do more than likely there probably is different species of hair covered bipedal creatures throughout North America and we get into the skunk ape and dog man and the muzzled looking Sasquatch and then, uh, then the Pacific Northwest, omaha, canadian Sasquatch is, you know, basically just Patty and the Paul Freeman footage and uh, uh, what do you call that Independence Day film? And then you got all the pictures and trail cameras and they all seem to look alike. But with the white, you know, sasquatch, we get reports that go right back to the 1950s in Canada of a white Sasquatch being seen. So yeah, and then you hear about you saw the photograph that's from about 20 years ago the Pennsylvania white Sasquatch. And then there's other reports in different states and provinces and territories throughout North America. So yeah, more likely it's age caused whiteness and grayness.
Speaker 1:So likely.
Speaker 2:The odd one that's probably just you know it's. You know the one that was in Pennsylvania that really opened the door to white Sasquatches 20 plus years ago. You know it doesn't look like an albino, it doesn't have red eyes, doesn't have really whitish skin. So possibly that's, you know, a genetic, you know. You know misfit, I guess you could say, because he's not black, brown or cinnamon, he was born white, possibly like that white gorilla and other white animals. You know it happens. But what I'm saying for the Olympic Peninsula, because we have so many reports of white Sasquatches out here I don't think it's age, I think it's a genetic anomaly based upon isolation within the peninsula area due to urban sprawl. There's a wall of cities out there to the east of the peninsula.
Speaker 1:Could it be something that they're eating, like maybe shellfish, kelp or something of that nature that would change the characteristics of? I don't know. I'm just, I'm not a scientist, but it's just me asking a silly, me asking a question for maybe someone who may be listening and be like well, what if it's? What if it's?
Speaker 2:environment I just spoke about. The science is in on that. Yeah, inbreeding causes deformities and, uh, age causes white and gray hair and you know. But you know I have never heard of any hard science about what your diet is will make you white. You know, I've been eating mcdonald all my life. I'm still a red skin, I ain't white. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, shout out to McDonald's. You know, hey, yesterday was, I don't remember they did some crazy special. Someone said that the McRib is coming back. For those who are McRib fans A good friend of mine, a coworker of mine, bigsby huge fan of the McRib I'm not so much. I even worked at McDonald's. Shout out to McDonald's, loved it when I worked there, Learned some great skill sets, made me a great hard worker, but I never tried the McRib. So for those out there, the McRib is coming back. We're not getting paid for this, clearly. And the McRib is coming back there. We're not getting paid for this, clearly. And the McRib meat is not Bigfoot Sasquatch. That is my indigenous, that's my Bigfoot joke of the day.
Speaker 1:But, tom, let's get back into. You made some huge transitions. You moved out to Forks. You're you're working at Sasquatch legends, the storefront there. I know that you did some social media posts recently about doing some tours. Let's kind of get into that real quick about some of your tours that you've done on the river out there in Forge. What are you guys seeing out there when you're doing these tours? Are you seeing anything?
Speaker 2:So I had a vet, probably about mid-40s, show up, big guy, and he introduced himself and he's a guide for one of the rafting companies going down the rivers here on the peninsula and he's had some vocalizations, were heard, were heard tree snaps, saw some partial tracks and because he's a hunter, mushroom picker and then he's rafting the whole river which gets you out in the middle of Timbuk, nowhere off, because you're, you know, way west of the highway where the river flows, so he invited me out and I guess it was july when we went down. It's when we had their first really hot week and him and I jumped in the raft right basically at the gate of the whole rainforest state park. We, just before the gate, we turned down a little dirt road down to the river, back the trailer in, jumped in the raft and we floated down and we went to this area where his uh boss, who's a sports fishing guy with boats on the whole a week prior, was anchored out below these uh glacier, alluvial till cliffs, basically cobbles and sand and this big steep wall of this bank and trees on top of course, and they were fishing there and he texted my friend and said there's a monster up there. I can hear it running around cracking trees and making noise in the bush. So he pulled anchor, went downstream.
Speaker 2:And that wasn't the first encounter and other guides that go up and down the river and other people exploring have come across so many Sasquatch encounters on the whole river. So we stopped at those bluffs on the sandbar and he was showing me where this noise had taken place the week before and everything. And I'm looking at it and the first thing that came to mind was the Olympic project and all of the research they've conducted in salmon-bearing spawning grounds with steep banks, with impenetrable bush to get up into there. That's where they're finding what they call a nest, the beds of sasquatches made from huckleberry branches, and they have. You know, if you go to the Olympic Project on YouTube and their website, it's just phenomenal the amount of research they're conducting. It's almost equivalent to Diane Flossey, jane Goodall, how in-depth they're getting with these nests and other things.
Speaker 2:So I looked at it and said, yeah, it stands to reason, there are going to be nests up there. We've got to get in there. So he said, well, let's do the lower drift tomorrow. So the next day we did the lower drift where we pulled the raft out by the Highway 101 bridge. There's a campsite there. We pulled the raft out. The next morning we launched from there and we went down the lower Ho River towards the mouth. But we stopped just before the Indian Reserve boundary, the Ho tribe. But as we're going down the lower, drift that next day I was like, hey, look, there's a teepee structure.
Speaker 2:And he's like what I said I've never noticed. That day I was like, hey, look, there's a teepee structure. And he's like what I said because I've never noticed that. And I said yeah, there's one right there. And we get a little further and I'm like, hey, there's another one, let's go take a look at it.
Speaker 2:So we got out of the raft and I walked up to this. Uh, it was a peninsula, an oxbow on the river, and it had been clear. Um, it's all grass in there and broom bushes. But then there was three teepee structures against the trees. And he asked me he goes, what is it? And I said this is a Sasquatch boundary, more than likely between the saltwater lower part of the whole river Sasquatch clan and the ones further upstream. They're just Indian tribes, so they're going to have their tribal boundaries. Sure, just like every tribe has throughout North America and not as much nowadays they're adhered to. But back in the old days, in my tribe, we still adhered to our tribal territories within the Kwakwaka'wakw Nation, and Sasquatch is no different.
Speaker 2:And then we pulled over to another spot because it looked like a really good area for elk and deer crossing the lower hole, no different. And then we pulled over to another spot because it looked like a really good area for elk and deer crossing the lower hole and we pulled over, we found an area where there was two roundish boulders that were just at the edge of the trees and to me I just said more than likely. We looked at, you know, when the river's running high and everything, it just was out of place that he would be water flow would have put, would have reached that spot and put those two big boulders there and I said it's more than likely, with the sign of elk and deer and other animal tracks. It's a jump zone for a sasquatch to come and lay in the bush and right there is this rock. So if a deer and elk comes out, he just grabs that rock and boom, hits it in the head or it's those in its ribs, jumps on it, breaks its neck and now he's got food.
Speaker 2:And you always got to remember and that's you know, one of my uh uh things that I've always educated people is what we can do with a 22 single shot shot iron sight rifle with the long rifle bullet. A Sasquatch can do with a rock. So in other words, you know they're expert at throwing rocks and hitting the deer or something on the head, killing it. And you know when you hear Sasquatch is throwing rocks at humans, you know they're always. It was over there 30 feet or 50 feet. You know you never hear about the human that got a bullseye laser beam rock in the head because they become part of David Polaitis, missing 411.
Speaker 1:We laugh. But that seems to be something that I've talked about a lot on the show people who have gone missing, who have been either experts and we we maybe they're seasoned hikers, people who adventure, and something that I think I've told you and I've always been very careful to always share with our listeners and people who are a part of the show. If you're going to hike, do your thing, but you got to remember you're going to hike, do your thing, but you got to remember you're not the only person on your hike. You're in mother nature. You are now outside of your own comfort, of your modern day lifestyle. You're going back to be a part of something.
Speaker 1:Your technology may not always work in these certain areas, you know you come in with expert gear. You come in, you know, well prepared, but things always change within your, within your own little scope of world. You may have a storm that may brew in and, you know, come right into your whole situation. You may be encounter livestock, you may encounter a bear, you may encounter a Sasquatch. For all I know, I don't know, but it does happen.
Speaker 1:People do go missing in these regards to you know, obviously more, more people go missing in the national parks. But the reason why I say that is because that's where a lot of people like to go hiking. And in this case I mean when you talk about that area, the Olympic Mountains, that whole project, as you were talking about the Olympic project, there's a vast, a lot of land to be covered there and it's not touched, it's it? There is so much where, you know, a Sasquatch can make its own making, it can maneuver and feel safe without having to the modernization of of humans pushing through through an area. So, um again, why, why would this happen? I mean, clearly, I know that we've had these discussions before, tom, but maybe not. Someone who may be new listening to the show may not understand. Sasquatches don't really care about humans, right, they don't? I mean they don't, they're not looking to hunt and kill humans, um, no, it's just, you know they're hate us, despise us, loathe us, fear us.
Speaker 2:We have nothing good to gain them. And they know that. And you know it's like, uh, pretty interesting. I was on social media yesterday and someone artist produced a painting that I seen seen of a Sasquatch hiding behind a tree looking at a battle of the Civil War and it was so poignant it brought it all together. And I even remember one time, you know, like we all know, sasquatch or Peekers are always peeking in windows and you know how many reports do we get of that. You know I remember I spoke one time to some people and I said you know I remember as a kid sitting there eating my cereal in the morning waiting for JP Patches to come on the Seattle-based television network, that we got up in British Columbia, in Vancouver, and of course I had to watch Walter Cronkite end his newscast for that morning.
Speaker 2:And I remember every morning sitting there eating my cereal. It was the same old thing Vietnam, helicopters wounded American soldiers dead, vietnamese. You know I was mortified by that as a kid. You know that here I am in grade one two watching all of this Vietnam War.
Speaker 2:And you know you can just imagine, you know you look at what we take for granted and we just think it's nothing to watch all of these. You know, be it crime drama, with all the gore on TV and the war movies, we watch the Western movies. We watch the what do you call it movies. We watch the Western movies. We watch the what do you call it movies we watch. The most entertaining ones are blood and gore.
Speaker 2:Can you imagine Sasquatches sitting down and talking about us? And you know they're probably saying you ever look in the windows of those hairless buggers? Everything that's flashing on that thing on there they sit in front of is just violence, evil, hatred, blood. What's wrong with these bipedal people? We should stay well clear of them. They're twisted. I was so much time in the bush because I hated humans in the early 1990s. I know what it's like to look at my fellow humans and just my stomach would turn. And I know that's what sasquatches do when they see us as well. You know there's a reason why they grimace at you and show teeth they want you scared. So you turn, put your tail between your legs and get the hell out of there.
Speaker 1:They don't want anything to do with us our guest tonight, tom seawood, from uh sasquatchislandcom, also working up in forks, washington, at sasquatch legends. Um tom, when you and I first met and chatted and I know that you've done so many of these different types of expeditions, I think, right now, being fall season, this is a transition for the bipedal creature, right? I mean we're talking. Things are changing. Berries are leaving. You know those types of things are changing. Are they spending? Do they transition during this time? Do they move towards, instead of being in the mountains, more maybe towards rivers and streams to find their food? Are we looking more towards? Like someone like myself may say you know what? I want to go out and I want to investigate a Sasquatch. Maybe I should go and look for one During this time of year. Where are most individuals who may be interested, other than let's just say they do want to go out there, tongue in cheek and say, yeah, I'm going to go find Sasquatch. Where are we sending people these days?
Speaker 2:Well, you're me in Forks, Washington. You're not going to jump in your vehicle and charge down to Mount Hood because it's in Oregon, because it's supposed to be a Sasquatch hotspot. Because it's in Oregon, because it's supposed to be a Sasquatch hotspot, right? That's ridiculous and that's what most people do. I find what you do is you look in your backyard. You know, within an hour drive radius of where you're based, and Google Earth. You look at where's this time of the year we're in the first week of October, where there's plum orchards, apple orchards, crab apples, what do you call it? Salmon streams, because salmon's full on right now. Sure, corn fields that are standing, potato patches that are still in the ground right now. That's where you want to look, because it's a time of abundance right now for sasquatches and for humans. You know you just got to.
Speaker 2:We went out today and you know I was looking for Chanterelle mushrooms but I didn't find very many. But if I spent the day picking I would have probably filled up two, five gallon buckets. So it's a time of abundance and for the Sasquatches, you know it's right now, it's salmon time. Another, whatever, another three weeks from now four weeks. We time another whatever, another three weeks from now, four weeks we're going to be in the monsoon season and two weeks into that monsoon season the rivers are going to be up into flood conditions, if not flooding, and it's going to be too deep and too much velocity of current and too muddy for the sasquatch to really do any good salmon harvesting. And they're going to come and you'll see probably an increase throughout the Pacific, northwest Washington State and Oregon of the urban edge Sasquatch activity coming into our backyards for our greenhouses, our fruit trees, our gardens. You know we go out in the middle of to end of October and we dig up all our potatoes and everything we got in the garden. Well, you can still go there in January and re-dig your garden and you'll find some more potatoes and the Sasquatches know that we've left some food in the ground. And then, of course, we have our compost boxes and bins that are just filled with foods for a Sasquatch. They've been known to go into our outbuildings for livestock and poultry food as well. As well, as you know, some people leave out in their, in their shed, dog food, horse feed, bags of carrots. Then you have the cattle farms that have piles of grain inside the granaries. You know, I've seen this quite a few times and you know darn well they're going there for food.
Speaker 2:But then there's a some that are their clan territories, aren't anywhere near the urban edge, or an apple orchard or a cornfield, you know, like the olympic peninsula, some of the rivers that are out towards the northwest tip. You know, um, they're probably you know probably less than 50 humans hiked out to some of those rivers this summer and during the winter. Another three weeks from now, when there's less sun and more clouds, the clams are going to come online, meaning that right now they're like in the summer, they're filled with plankton and photoplankton, so they're green and they taste terrible. But another three weeks from now the clams are going to be white. That means there's less plankton in the water, so they just get all fluffy. We call it full of white meat, no green.
Speaker 2:The Sasquatch is going to go for that. There's the limpets, the chitons, the mussels, and the list goes on, when that tide is low. So whenever there's a big low tide exchange through the month, the sasquatch is going to move to that beach area. Some of them probably just harvest, mostly from the beach anyway, because you've got year-round food there at all tide stages. So you take in the washed in islands of seaweed and kelp and dig through it at the upper high tide mark on the beach and there's all those little jumping bugs like a crustacean and they roll over rocks. At low tide there's small crabs and eels and bullheads and then all of a sudden there's a washed-in dead porpoise, dolphin, seal, sea lion, octopus. So there's always abundant food, even me.
Speaker 2:When I was in Ocean Shores at one of the Sasquatch festivals about six years ago, peggy and I went for a walk on the beach and we came across three dead birds. You know seabirds that were about that big. You know, maybe they got bird flu, who knows what happened out on the water, but there was three birds. Water, but there was three birds. And then Peggy and I go up to Neah Bay at the tip of the peninsula this summer and we go out and walk on the beach. Now what do I see? A dead bird. So the beach has always been a place for abundant protein in the Pacific Northwest and that's where the Sasquatches will be going, and you know we're doing expeditions here year-round.
Speaker 2:I'm telling people, you know tourists are leaving now it's really quiet. You don't see the? No vacancy in forks, no more. You see vacancy, then empty, emptier parking lots, sure? So book with me through sasquatch island. Take a look at my expeditions page, my schedule's your schedule. Phone me up and say, hey, I can be there in October 24th, 25th, 26th, perfect, I'll put it on the board. Come on out, grab a hotel room, put your RV in a campsite or whatever, and we'll go out. In the daytime I'll teach you things and we'll investigate and I'll show you the beach zones and the forest zones, the high ground zones and urban edge zones, and then at night we'll go out where we have a good chance to see him, with my flurs, forward looking infrared devices and my listening with my parabolic listening devices, spotlight P 1000, nikon trail cameras. Hopefully we can bingo a big hairy bugger and get some video of it.
Speaker 1:It when we talk about these and and and. Something that has always been captivating to me and and I've had multiple conversations with people either saying, hey, mario, this or that someone that will ask do you believe that, do you believe in sasquatch? Is the first question they asked me and I'm like I've never seen one. So I, I, I, I, you know it's a possibility. There's, you know, there there's so much land. Yeah, it's a possibility. My, the one thing that I always tell everyone, I and I tell you, and you know this oh well, maybe it's a UFO or it's cloaking and hold on, hold on, hang in with me for a second there, tom. But I always tell everyone I'm like nah, nah, man, he's indigenous to the planet. These are indigenous to our world. Here, I don't. We have had others people come on to talk about their versions of what they believe it could be, and that's what the platform is for is to be able to share your views and opinion, obviously, but for me, I like to believe that my Sasquatch Bigfoot is from here, and so for those who may be like, oh's, you know, it's ufo, good on you. I mean, that's, that's your thing. For me, that's really. It boils back to being he's. Indeed, they are indigenous to this planet. Tom, I want to talk to.
Speaker 1:I want to share a story that was relayed to me and, uh, give me some advice on this or you can share your thoughts on this. I had a friend who went fishing years ago on on a highway off from mount rainier to adam and on this highway I don't know if it was a highway road or if it was a forest service road, I do not recall that piece of the story but they said they went all the way out there and he said the fishing was just fantastic, getting great because it was untouched and he was getting such great fish. One day he was out fishing and he heard it was still quiet and he heard these knocking noises. He picked up his fishing rod, something. He heard something I believe he said a rock was thrown. He picked up his stuff packed up and he got out. He knew there was something there.
Speaker 1:Later on, a friend of his went fishing to the same place and then shared the same story with him. He did not share that story with that individual. That individual came to him and shared his story and said hey, have you gone fishing in this area. Have you heard any knocking? And that's when he said yeah, I actually was fishing there a couple of weeks ago and I decided not to return back to this day. He has yet to go back to that fishing hole near Mount um by Adams Um. To me I would say that he had an encounter. You know, maybe that was an encounter of some time. That area is rich because it's so dense and forest, Rainier Adams, that whole area has got that, the dry trifecta of like national forest, just untouched land. Oh yeah, it's like that. Everywhere you forests, just untouched land.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it's like that everywhere, british Columbia as well, and Alberta Sasquatches are. To me they're just big, hairy humans, they're members of the other tribe, me. I call them the perfect humans because they don't use permanent shelter, fire weapons, don't have warfare. You know, we've never heard of that and we know, do know our ancestors in north america of the north american indian ward. With sasquatch there's a pictograph of a picture on a rock wall. So anyway, to me, with the sasquatches, you know when in british columbia, when go clam digging, we don't just go storming the beach at low tide because we know it's abundant at this given area. Now you've got to remember where we clam dig up off northeastern Vancouver Island in my tribal territories. It's the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 2:So you don't just anchor your boat out two and a half hours before low water, jump into the skiff and go ashore and start digging. Two and a half hours before low water, jump into the skiff and go ashore and start digging. When you got there that day, you anchor out, you go ashore and you take a look at the high tide mark, because it's high tide at that time of the day and because most of the clam tides are at night during the fall and winter. But you look and if you see any broken shells of cockles a type of shellfish or clams, piled up on the beach, scattered on the beach on a rock, on a big drift log, you get back in your boat, go back up to the main boat, pull the anchor and go down the beach a mile, or you know a good distance and go to another shellfish beach and do the same thing. And if you see no broken shells, then you know that the sasatches have are not there, because the broken shells are the Sasquatches telling other Sasquatches and humans that we're digging as this beach right now please give us respect Go to another one. There's a lot of beaches out there.
Speaker 2:So when you hear the numerous reports of people going to rivers, be it walking a trail, hiking, fishing, just enjoying the scenery, and there's tree knocks or breaks or shaking, then the rock thrown into the water. All it is is Sasquatch reminding you. Hey, how come you didn't, you know, heed the sign. There was a teepee structure as you're coming down the hill or as you're coming up river. There was a tree break with a twist, and that was our sign that we're fishing this part of the river right now. Please leave. It be, it's our property, our territory for harvest right now. So that's what I'm finding is the repetitive pattern of the rocks thrown, the tree knocks, tree breaks and the human putting the rod away or just skedaddling get the hell out of there. It worked. The Sasquatch communicated to us and said respect me, I'm fishing here at this part of the river, Please leave. And the humans do so. Can we communicate with a sasquatch?
Speaker 1:absolutely, they communicate with us constantly but for those who may be uh I'm looking for the word that may not offend anybody, but more of like, um, just not aware of their surroundings and like seeing a such a situation where they're like, oh, that's odd, like, as you're saying, the tree branches or the shellfish that have been crushed in that area or been uh, you know, been harvested. This is a great opportunity for people who are out there, who are hiking, who are fishing and looking and being a part of, you know, outdoor activities, to listen to these types of warnings from an expert like yourself, tom, because, look, not everyone spends. Most people nowadays are probably spending more time playing pickleball than they are hiking. You know, and it's to be able to say that most people who do go hiking are kind of like you said, they're in their own little world. I know we've talked about this before, but be aware of your surroundings. If you hear something you know a tree knocking you know something's going on in the area. Maybe it's feral humans, maybe you're about to be a part of. You know Polite's missing 411 report that's coming out. You know the latest version of it.
Speaker 1:I don't, I mean. These are why, these are reasons why you don't see me in the national parks going for a hike. I mean I go up there, I'll go for the day, but I'm not putting a backpack on. You're not going to catch me up there in a backpack on. You're not going to catch me up there. I'm not becoming. I'm not. This sexy beast is not becoming someone's. You know appetizer, you know a little chimichanga for. You know some indigenous bigfoot? I'm not. No way tom. When we talk about these different areas and you know we've done, you know the the live shows in you know buckley, washington, and we know we talked about that Buckley area being a hotbed for such excuse me for having Bigfoot sightings and things of that nature Do you find that where you're at now you're having more people come to you with reports versus out more towards the mountains, or are you finding it to be similar?
Speaker 2:in regards to the two, I saw this area, just rich with reports, number one people. You know Moccasin Telegraph, chatter Chatter small town. Everyone's starting to know about the Sasquatch investigating Indian managing Sasquatch Legendcom and Forks. And then Indian tribes that are here, you know everyone knows them as the Lopush or the Ho. Well, they're actually Quileute tribe and the Quileutes you know they've, you know I've been talking with them and you know the Marks and Telegraph there and Facebook and Messenger it's getting out that tom see was in the area. And then of course, sasquatch legendcom. People are coming in because they're tourists and you know what better place than to give my report of what we saw walk across our highway and in philadelphia area, you know.
Speaker 2:So I'm getting everything right, from one kid coming in the store first week of may and saying a couple nights ago, the sass, I live over there, three-quarter mile at the edge of the wood in the 32-foot trailer, all of a sudden there was a big bang in my trailer. I was trying to shake and and I'm running for the door and I open it the trailer quit shaking and they're walking across my backyard is a big sasquatch that grimaced at me, turn and bolted into the bush and stepped on my dead husky's grave. You know the guy was like offended that how dare you, sasquatch, step on my dead dog's grave? You know which I understand. And so I went out the next day, up and just outside my window here, not a three quarter mile up on the hills window, here, not a three-quarter mile up on the hills going stealth and breaking silhouette and crawling and using windage to my advantage, all my you know, decades of hunting skills and living in the bush. And the next thing, you know, I hear a big sudden. And then I just ran for the tip of that little hill I was on, because that's where they sleep, and sure enough I could hear gangbusters. Two somethings go down the back side the forest just making a bracket. And when I got up there, you can see where they're laid down and resting. You can put your hand down and feel the warmth in the hemlock needles and the duff of the forest. So you know it's not rocket science to find a Sasquatch. You know, like I say, it's say it's printing skills. Yes, and Washington State's a free state.
Speaker 2:You can carry concealed and open A lot of people, like what you were saying earlier about. I don't want to put a backpack on. Why not Go down to the local store and fill out some paperwork, buy yourself a shotgun or a pistol, and you know you feel like Rambo when you're out there now you ain't scared of nothing If something does go sideways that one in 20,000 encounter that goes sideways on you just like when I lived in the bush my 12 gauge bouncing Betty was always with me or a rifle. But you know I did have those one. You know you got to remember I was a bear hunting guide for decades.
Speaker 2:So you know I had hundreds of bears. I hunted many, many grizzly bears and you know, a couple of times I did have that one encounter with that black bear that decided that I'm going to be predatory and go after that human. And you know I let a warning shot out I remember one time with my two 43 rifle and pierced his ear. You know that bear turned and he was no longer going to be my threat. He took off. So you know, pack something. You know, and all these people nowadays with this mindset of.
Speaker 2:Oh God I can't own a pistol or buy a shotgun. Well then, go out there. He might end up being a steaming coiler of turd from a sasquatch or a bear on the side of the bush it's interesting to me, tom, because I always bring up this story to you.
Speaker 1:We go back to uh, sam de ball, who was a um assistant professor at the university of washington, um, I I one who believed he was on the mother mountain trail of Mount Rainier around this time of the season. I think it was a couple of years ago. Uh, during the October season first major storm came through. He was doing the mother mountain trail. I believe it's a 12-mile hike around the mountain. According to his family, he had gone into the trail. He was doing a day hike.
Speaker 1:The weather changed immediately, bringing in a flood of rain, washing out the bridge, making the trail uninhabitable for him to complete the hike, unless he probably went back the other direction. But in the Mother Mountain loop it was broken due to the, due to the, you know, high rain velocity during the storm. The only thing, the only thing they found from him, according to his family, that he went in the bush into the trail with a backpack. He he was going to stay overnight or however that was supposed to play out, and he did not return. The only thing they found was a water container or his cantina. Everything else was gone.
Speaker 1:And to me. I look at these types of situations. It's unfortunate that this gentleman is no longer here. They haven't found him One.
Speaker 1:Either the storm had gotten to him, the weather inclement may have changed drastically, or he may have been a part of a huge snowstorm, or again, this is where I come where the rest of his stuff at. Why haven't they found anything of him other than a container of a cantina or water bottle? It's not like and that's that's where it gets really dicey. Right, maybe he fell in a crevasse, but again, on this trail it's just a regular mountain trail. Sure, he could have fallen off and rolled off the cliff, but in still, in these, these types of situation, nothing was found no tent, no backpack, no clothing, nothing.
Speaker 1:So it's unfortunate that in these types of situations, when you're hiking, these types of people will go missing. Experts who may be experts in hiking, tom, do we do? We think in a lot of these situations, people take for granted, you know, being able to go out for a hike, but we're not thinking that sasquatches are, you know, they're like hey, by the way, I'm, you know, I mean we, as you said, turn you into a hot pile of steam, you know yeah, no, it's.
Speaker 2:You know you got a lot of the indian names translated to english just after contact Cannibal giants, cannibals from the mountains. You know my tribe. You know Chonakha is the cannibal. She'll eat the misbehaving children. And you know the list goes on with tribes with. You know translations of something referring to human killer. Or you know cannibal Well the know cannibal.
Speaker 2:Well, indians know, if we're going to call a hair bipedal bigger than us, hair-covered creature cannibal, then we know what it is. It's a human. Because when a bear or a wolf or a cougar eats a human, they're not a cannibal, they're a man-eater, human-eater. So right there, you know, there's the nail on the head. The Indians know that they're humans and just like the human population in Washington State, or actually, let's use the Pacific Northwest, you know Alaska, british Columbia, washington, oregon, Northern California, I bet you there's one human out there that's a cannibal that's killing people as a psychopath and consuming them. Because we know in North America the odd one has been busted by the police and the FBI and so forth. You know Hannibal the Cannibals isn't just the movie. There actually has been and are in prison or have been executed people that were cannibals, and Russia. Look at that. One guy in Russia, how many? Over a hundred and something people apparently killed in eight. So what we Indians know, as I was taught by Lucas White, an Omaha tribe member, in Macy, nebraska, five, six years ago, you watch out, tom. When you find an area with a lot of bones coyotes, birds, deer you know he's speaking for where he lives in Nebraska area he goes and it looks like they were just killed for the fact of being killed. Or coyote up on a tree branch, or deer in branches, but the meat's still there and you can see from the decay that you know nothing was really consumed. He goes get the hell out of there. That's a rogue area. There's a rogue in the area.
Speaker 2:You do not want to be around a rogue and what that is is a sasquatch that more than likely got displaced as a family clan leader by a younger, stronger sasquatch. Because that's nature, god's code, it has to be. It makes the genetic strengthening and the bettering of a species and just like humans that get be told to get out the beeping door. You're never to be around me or the kids again and your girlfriend wife kicks you out and you lose everything. You got no house you have. You have. No, you have to. If you even can see your children, which I suffered through. I couldn't even see my children, what I want to do, because my ex is a social worker and she's not Indian, and I can't have a driver's license in Canada because she took it away from me because of this and that other reasons. So I almost snapped and went postal again a while back because of that, when I first split up with her.
Speaker 2:And we know the stories of men especially that something snapped after the divorce the lawyers, the child services orders, the garnishes, the taking away of passport and license, and the list goes on they go postal, they start killing other humans because something snapped. And that's what I think a rogue Sasquatch is. A hunter-killer Kills for just the enjoyment and pleasure of killing because after he was displaced something snapped in him. And I think there's I know there's one on Vancouver Island, because right now, if you look at facebook, vancouver island, missing people I looked at it about three weeks ago because I seen something come up in my social media feed, so I went and, of course, being from vancouver island, I went to this group that I wasn't a member of and it haunted me how the pattern is established on three missing people on the island in the last four years.
Speaker 2:That the pattern is there vehicle found end of the road. One vehicle backed up pickup truck. That was on the mainland, not vancouver island, but the guy got stuck but all he found was his truck door open and he's never been seen from since. You know what scared that guy so much that he jumped out of his stuck vehicle and left the door open. You know you get out of your stuck vehicle, you close the door and hike out. He didn't do that. He went MIA. Vancouver Island. Right now there's some missing people and I highly recommend the listeners go look at it. Missing people at Vancouver Island. It's spooky. We got a rogue hunter, killer working on the human population that is alone out in the extreme isolated areas of vancouver island.
Speaker 1:So, in other words, way down some logging road by themselves our guest tonight, tom seawood, from sasquatch island up in forks, washington I almost said kent, but you're not there right now out in forks yeah out, yeah out in Forks. For all those who are Twilight fans, please go. This is a great time to go up there. The weather's still decent. It's not monsoon season. This is an opportunity to take a weekend to head up there to hang out, take an adventure, do something outside the city. Go up and go see Tom $200.
Speaker 2:We'll do a 24-hour.
Speaker 1:Sasquatch expedition per person. Tom, we're getting into the haunted season for me, so the whole month of October minus this show. Here we're going to just delve into some of the most haunted places. There is some stuff up there in your area that's pretty haunted, captivating stuff. When we talk about rogue Sasquatches and I know that you having the experience on the island up there in Vancouver Island, and I know that you've done some stuff in other shows and things like that Are we thinking that this rogue Sasquatch, are you going to spend more time, are you going to be able to do more investigative work trying to figure out what's going on up there? And because I mean, that's kind of your territory, right? Is that something that you're going to spend time on?
Speaker 2:Absolutely, and there's a big first shellfish tide of the season for Vancouver Island. Northeast is coming up mid-October and Peggy and I are going north and we have a good friend of ours with a wooden boat, about 42 feet long I guess, ex-commercial fish boat, you know, got heat, got toilet, got three bunks, and we've chartered him to take us out into my traditional territories, both of the Knights Inlet, the Broughton Archipelago, where I had numerous encounters with Sasquatch, hearing them, smelling them, hearing them tree break and seeing them even. That's where I had my first really good up-close encounter where I saw a big male and a big female in the spotlight on my commercial fish boat at anchor. We'll be going there and I know that the pattern's there. Remember what I said earlier.
Speaker 2:I was teaching everyone we're coming out of summer now, or out of summer into fall.
Speaker 2:The days are getting shorter, the clouds are coming in more, the clams are whitening up, less plankton.
Speaker 2:The Sasquatches up in my traditional territories know that and they also know that this time of the year the plums that are in the abandoned native village and the crab apples and the abandoned native village and the crab apples and the blackberries and the rose hips are full on and no humans are harvesting them and just the blackberries.
Speaker 2:And the beach at low tide in the middle of October is going to be ooh. I haven't had a cockle since back in April and now we can smash two cockles together and eat the meat and the delicacy of the Sasquatch and humans. And you know what better thing to look forward to than your first shellfish dig. I'm looking forward to it and all excited and Peggy and I are going to be up there and no humans are going to be around hardly, and you know, hopefully at night we're going to be able to hear them, smell them and hopefully pick them up on the floor and maybe light them up in the spotlight, like I did before, and with that P1000 Nikon, zoom in and see the chips on their teeth and the wrinkles on their face.
Speaker 1:Do you ever get? Do you ever, do you ever have fear, tom, that they? Do you fear them? I know that that's just a silly question to ask, but for someone who's done all this investigative work and the research and I know you respect and have done preservation work and you know, have worked closely with laws and lawmakers to you know to do different things to preserve and to keep these indigenous bipedal creatures around. Obviously, no one's killing these guys, clearly, because at least in Washington State, it's against the law. You can't shoot a Sasquatch or hunt a Sasquatch. Do you fear that the day will come where this will be this myth?
Speaker 1:The way in which people explore, hunt, the word for Sasquatches is going to change because we're gonna have more evidence, with someone like yourself being able to be more elusive, to be able to garner the skill sets to catch them, and what I mean by on tape or a video, because, as I see it, they are really smart. They've outsmarted the human race for a long time. I mean, we're talking for so long. We're talking about a cave days. For people who don't understand that, we'll have a link up on the podcast, the the pattison film, which you know everyone talks about. Is that real, is it not real? Some of these encounters, the steps in which people you like you've done molding of, you know you know doing, you know crafted, molded not that you're like manufacturing them, but you're like finding evidence of in all these years of searching, hunting, doing explorations for Sasquatch, do you feel like, as a human society, that we're closer than we are, or further from being close, to catching these bipedal creatures?
Speaker 2:in regards to having good footage, One of the things I study is the urban edge Sasquatch. The main reason is because I have a bad right leg from being a diabetic, so I can't go from sea level to punching through the tree line into alpine in a day like I used to before. Old age caught up to me, 59 years old. So what better way to Sasquatch and investigate at night and daytime than in a vehicle with a gas station down the road with a warm toilet and a hot coffee? So I've been studying urban edge for quite some time, actually since I guess before COVID when I started spending more and more time with Peggy down in Washington state. I've come to realize after I've had a few reports come in to me and saw a video and read a lot of reports on the Internet and then I thought back to why the Gatling gun was invented Eradicate the Indians so we can put ranches and farms and cities there. Well, right now those helicopters got Gat guns, 30 cal, 50 cal. They have advanced infrared and forward looking infrared devices and thermal seekers. And don't take a rocket scientist to put two and two together and go come on, now I can go to youtube and watch talibans get pop like zits from a helicopter and gunships and jets and you can see them running for their life. And the next thing you know, you see the guy's legs blown off when the big bullets go down and he's crawling there. He's left his AK-47. And next thing you know another cluster of bullets and now he's just a big, huge smear on the desert floor.
Speaker 2:Come on, now they've been looking and shooting sasquatches because the government does not want another indigenous tribe. They know that dna is showing that those sasquatches are just another indian tribe and north american indians, the first nations we call ourselves in can. The Inuit up in Alaska and the Arctic Canada are Indigenous in both countries, as are the Métis in Canada. So we have three Indigenous tribes. Down in the US you have two. The last thing the governments want is the third Indigenous tribe of the United States called Sasquatch, and the fourth one for Canada, because we Indigenous peoples of Sasquatch Island, aka North America, cost those governments billions of dollars each year.
Speaker 2:Here in Washington state the non-Indian despises the Indian tangle, gill, netter. And why do they get the fish and we don't? I hear that constantly. Come on now they're called First Nations in Canada and Indians for a reason. They were the first ones here, and the Bolt decision gives them 50% of the resources marine resources. So just quit your whining. Get off your high horse, get friends with an Indian and he'll give you some free fish through the year.
Speaker 1:You know, and that's the way I look at it that power of the Indians in North America?
Speaker 2:with what we have, we can shut down industry, logging, fracking pipelines. We can make governments bow to us now, because that's how powerful the Indians and the Inuit have gotten in Canada, as have the Métis, which you call Cherokee in the US. So the last thing the governments want is another bloody Indian tribe being recognized and having to get millions, hundreds of millions of dollars and it will affect the whatever gross national product or whatever you call it in the world and countries. Because, mark my words, when Sasquatch is confirmed to exist, you will see the shutdown of logging, urban sprawl, fracking pipelines, ski resorts, hiking trails.
Speaker 2:You're a rancher that's got thousands of acres in Colorado and you want to go cut down a couple of hectares of your timber so that you can grow alfalfa to sell to the Arabians for their Arabian horses for hundreds of dollars of bail. Well, you're going to have to do an environmental assessment how the removal of those trees on your ranch property may affect negatively the Sasquatches in that area. Well, that'll be decades of paperwork and red tape and probably get a stamp of no approval. So, trust me, they do not want Sasquatches identified. It's bad enough. We Indians, inuit Métis in Canada are shutting down government and industry. Can you imagine what Sasquatch is going to do throughout North America and the Yahwehs in Australia?
Speaker 1:It would change things dramatically, that is for sure. Tom, always fun to hang out with you Before we wrap things up. For those who we would like to put a little bow on everything here, what we've talked about this evening, if you're just tuning in, tom Seawood, our guest from Sasquatch Island, he is out of Forks Washington these days hanging out at Sasquatch Legends and you can go up to Forks Washington and hang out in the brick and mortar store. They have their website. You can go to SasquatchIslandcom for Tom's merchandise. Tom, your stuff is always great. Thanks. Tonight.
Speaker 1:What we've learned about is rogue Sasquatches how to I would say how to be aware of your surroundings, how to hear what to look for in a Sasquatch area, if there may be one. And I think a lot of people may not know, tom, as we talked about tonight, how to even identify an area that may have Sasquatch in that area. And thanks to you, tom, your expertise, your knowledge is vital for people who are going to be out here, because hey look, I don't want to find someone on a missing 411, you know uh, report, uh, because by at the end of the day, man, we can all coexist together. It uh clearly, as you are just talking about here as we wrap things up. Um, you know they are indigenous to the planet and and and when that these times get closer, maybe someone might be have more encounters. But, tom, your expeditions, your stories, people coming to you is huge. Your knowledge to what is a vast, interesting topic to many who have had tons of sightings go to tom's website. If you've had an encounter and most people and tom, you know this we've had, we've done a show together where we did a round table mini conference with people showing up to a brewery, and when we did this it was not intent to do like a Sasquatch, like conference, like everyone else does.
Speaker 1:It was more of a roundtable to let people come to share their stories. Tom, I think you're one of the best out here who is able to take the knowledge that has been given to you from your experiences. But people who share this can feel safe with you. I mean we. You spend hours there hanging out having a beer with people, but just because you, it felt so like you were someone's best friend. You know that's the best way I could describe it. You were just there hanging out with everyone having a conversation, but people were open and I remember them saying this very much like thank you so much for having a, you know, being able to have an open discussion, because people are still afraid to talk about their encounters of seeing a Sasquatch Bigfoot because they don't want to be called crazy. If you have an encounter, please, if you feel like you're inquisitive, to tell us 775-990-5151. Go to Tom's website. It's on our website. It'll be on our podcast as well, at SasquatchIslandcom. Tom, where else can they find you?
Speaker 2:Go to SasquatchL dot com, tom. Where else can they find you? Go to Sasquatch Legend dot com. You know they have all my shirt designs like whoop whoop here. That's the sound that they make, whoop whoop and things.
Speaker 2:I manage the store. So when you email through Sasquatch Legend dot com, after looking at the different things in that that we have on there, it'll get right to my attention. I work five days a week, monday through Friday. And you know, go to YouTube Sasquatch Island, tiktok. I'm doing TikToks now with Biggie, the big Sasquatch mannequin we have in the store. But, like I say, if you want a close encounter of the hairy kind or you want to better your game to get a close encounter of the hairy kind, come and take an expedition with me here in Forks or Canadians, or if you Americans that want to go to Vancouver Island, we can do it up there to your Sasquatch enthusiast buddies, male and female, and get me a plane ticket return and I'll go from SeaTac to wherever you are and I'll come in your backyard and teach you how to better your game so you can have that close encounter of the hairy kind with your local Sasquatch.
Speaker 1:Tom, are you doing any conferences this fall? Are there any big shows coming up for you?
Speaker 2:Not nothing on the calendar yet, other than probably because of being a manager for sasquatch legendcom. I was telling peggy today I think I'll go to ocean shores it's only two hours 15 minutes from forks and have a vendor table there this year. But I'll reach out to the quinault tribe and say, hey, I'm gonna come down there, get a vendor table. Why don't you guys get me on your stage, since I'm going to be there anyway, and I'll go out and talk about what I've been experiencing and hearing about here on the Olympic Peninsula.
Speaker 1:Oh, the old Quinault Casino show. I know that that's run by a different. There's another radio show out there that handles most of the stuff down in that southwest Washington, although we do have a radio station right down the street at KOSW. That's one of our other radio stations down there right by the casino. It's right there in Ocean Shores. So you know, we haven't been blessed or been asked to come and hang out, and you know how I feel about those types of things. I tend to not go unless we're doing the whole entire thing, and maybe one day we'll get closer to that. But, tom, it's always fun to have you on the show. Give your expertise again. Tom Seawood, you can go to his website, uh, which I recommend. He's got tons of great stuff there.
Speaker 1:Um, if you want to go on expedition, uh, if you want to go to Sasquatch, uh, to Sasquatch legends, and hang out with him up at the brick and mortar store, I'm telling you this is the time to get out. This is the perfect time. It's not raining just yet, but this is the time where a lot of transition is going on and I know Tom's talking talk to us about this in previous shows, but this would be. This would be key man go out there and hang out with Tom uh on all his adventures. And if you're so inclined to go, do the uh Sasquatch uh conference down there in Southwest Washington uh, be sure to do so.
Speaker 1:We always like to promote local businesses and things of that nature, so we're not hating on them, we just don't go. So hats off to those guys down there. They do a great job and that's always something that people enjoy doing is going to those types of conferences. So if you're a Bigfoot enthusiast, definitely go. Check out that. I believe it's coming up. Go to the Cornell Casino's website website. I'm sure they'll have more information up there on their website.
Speaker 2:So again, tom, any last words before we head out here just come to Forks Washington, sasquatchlegendcom got a picnic table in there, hot coffee on every day and other hot beverages and hot chocolate tea. And come sit down with me and we'll chatter, chatter about sasquatch like a couple of sasquatches from the pacific northwest.
Speaker 1:I'd like to thank our guest, tom seawood this evening for coming to hang out with us. It's always a pleasure and an honor to have tom come to hang out with us from uh, sasquatchislandcom. He's hanging out in forks, washington. Go to sasquatch Island dot com Hanging out in Forks, washington. Go to Sasquatch Legends, the brick and mortar store. For my entire team, mark Christopher, jeff, jen and Sophia Magana and myself, mario Magana, be sure to look up at the sky, because you never know what you might see. Good night, good night.
