Are we alone in the universe? Do ghosts and spirits walk among us? How do caterpillars have sex? There are some things that mankind just aren't meant to know. UNTIL NOW! Welcome everyone to a very special episode of THIS PARANORMAL LIFE! Because believe it or not,

THIS IS EPISODE 300! live! Because believe it or not, this is episode 300! Oh my shit! Holy moly! Oh my god! I just popped open a bottle and the cork went ricocheting across the tiny studio.

You can tell these little studio goblins don't pop bottles too often. Oh my god. We did it, folks. This is the 300th episode of This Paranormal Life. I think both of us truly, when we started this show, thought we would be dead before we would reach 300. 100% Yeah, I was spilling government secrets left, right, and center.

Begging for them to put me out of my misery. I was making shit up. I was saying they were doing stuff they weren't even doing just hoping that they were gonna pull the trigger i had a death wish i have a death wish but um i don't know what's changed over at government hq but i guess they're too pussy now to take out the people who are spilling the truth i think they're falling in love with us i think that we're like little scamps to them they're like ah those guys are all right rory and kid are all right let them let them leak a couple secrets let them have their fun you know right we think we are leaking uh real government secrets every minute of every day they see us as the monkeys with typewriters they're like it's pretty funny and i'm sure if they keep potting long

enough they might say something real but it hasn't happened yet. Yeah. Yeah. So it's, it's incredible that we haven't been shut down yet, uh, by the governments of the world or let alone the major podcasting platforms of the world. Oh, Rory's passing me a glass of champagne. It's pretty awesome that after six years of podcasting, uh, our Patreon finally made 30 pounds and we were able to finally stump for a bottle of the good stuff

to celebrate it's all been worth it guys it has I should say this is not champagne it's not I think it legally cannot be called champagne

it was also made in the Chompy's North Korean factory it's called Chomping it's actually Chompy's blended up into a fizzy glass hey well cheers brother to episode 300

cheers and thank you to everyone out here who is listening to the episode you know for some people this might be your 300th episode to some people this might be your first episode yeah in which case you got some catching up to do but today i thought we would do something a little bit special. So it is going to be a bit of a special episode this week. Instead of investigating a brand new paranormal case like we do every week, we're going to dive back in time and reinvestigate the first ever case that we investigated with This Paranormal Life. So you're saying that through the last almost six years of investigating the paranormal, that we've uncovered so many f***ed up truths from every corner of earth that we know much more now than we did then.

Our audience have come with us on this journey. all know more and that maybe if we go back we might shine some new light on that case when we first started this podcast if uh if if the chupacabra had cornered me in a dark alley i would have wet myself and cried like a little baby now i'm like neo at the start of the second matrix movie i just punch him in the throat and walk away with my shades on i'm not even phased we've been through so many cases that now i think going back to these early investigations we can shine a new light on the case and possibly come up with a different conclusion all right this is unbelievably exciting and i couldn't think of a more fitting way to ring in three hundo now here's a littleanormal Life trivia for you folks at home.

I know what you're thinking. They're about to go back and investigate the legend of the axe-wielding goat man. Episode one. Episode one, right? Of This Paranormal Life. Wrong. Huh? The first episode we ever recorded and the first case we ever investigated was actually the case about Tim Peeler, the man who punched Bigfoot.

Oh, but you're saying, because I don't really remember this genuinely, you're saying we released them in a different order to that which we recorded them. I think we recorded a huge batch at the start and then released them in the order of what we thought was the funniest. Okay. To try and get people in. We were like, Axe-wielding Goatman, that's pretty great. Okay. To try and get people in. We were like, Axe-wielding Goatman, that's pretty great. We'll get them in the door with that and then we'll sneak in

a redneck man punching Bigfoot in the face. Wow. So that's such a fun bit of trivia. It also makes perfect sense, doesn't it,

that episode one would be Bigfoot? Yeah. We probably should have left that a little bit later. We kind of knocked a lot of the big guys out of the park

in the first week. Yeah. Didn't realize we're going to be doing 300 of these. Yeah. we had to start scraping the bottom of the barrel the lizard man the hoedag don't want to throw too much shade at the jackalope but uh you know that was kind of a recent one i don't know it feels like we scraped through the bottom of the barrel into the earth for five years before we even had to use the jackalope. So a little trivia about this episode, The Man Who Punched Bigfoot.

It came out five years ago and it was 30 minutes long. That's because it's a white knuckle breakneck speed kind of piece of paranormal history. Yeah. It didn't need to be an hour long. There was no faff. There were no jokes. There's a few jokes,

but it was just straight paranormal knowledge injected into your earlobes. And that's what you're getting again this week, folks. We are about to dive back in time and reinvestigate the case of Tim Peeler, the man who claims he punched Bigfoot. Are you ready, Kit? No, you just told me what we're going to investigate. I can't remember what happened. I'm not mentally ready. Rory, every episode of This Paranormal Life is like a box at the end of Indiana Jones

and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Every case, we pack all the evidence into a wooden box, we nail it shut, and then we give it to an old man who wheels it to the back of the TPL warehouse to be cataloged and archived and hopefully never to be seen again. I don't know if I'm ready to reopen all this evidence. Yeah. These podcast episodes are very similar to my high school math lessons. Once it's over, the knowledge is forever

buried away, lost in the corners of my mind, never to be seen again. Not even on the day of the exam. So this is going to be a bit of a weird one, diving back into something that we've already investigated technically, but have very little memory of. Before we start, I think it's quite funny to play a little clip from the original podcast, just so you remember how young we were when we started this podcast. Oh God. Welcome to This Paranormal Life, a podcast hosted by me, how young we were when we started this podcast. Oh, God. Welcome to This Paranormal Life,

a podcast hosted by me, Rory Powers, and my paranormal pal, Kit Greer. How you doing, Kit? I'm doing great. I'm ready to be spooked to the hell out, Rory. Ready to be spooked. We have almost decades of experience between the two of us. I was wondering. So, like, is paranormal investigation, like,

is that something you can just say or is you have to have like actual qualifications like qualifications you don't need qualifications no you just you gotta go out in the field okay because no professor has seen a sasquatch okay that's the problem your books aren't much help when you're face to face with a demon you know i've been telling my my pupils that for you nah something's up though because i was playing at double speed i was playing at double speed i don't know what was going on there i don't know if it's the microphones or the fact do we inhale helium balloons yeah right before we started listening to that clip you sound like

john wayne you sound like Bruce Willis. What's happening? After listening to that, it feels like you're like, I don't know what was going on, brother. We're like grizzled detectives. But it's only been five years. It's not like we were 14 when we recorded that podcast. We were like 26. We were supposed to be grown men. And it felt like grown men at the time. But hey, if anyone loved that early episode but can't stand the sound of two somehow prepubescent 27-year-old men, you will now have this podcast where you can listen to the rich, dulcet tones of two 31-year-old gentlemen.

I guess I'm just sick or hungover. That's why my voice is so low. All right, we are just about to dive into today's case, but before we do, here's a quick word from today's sponsors. All right, kid, let's dive into the story. It's 3 a.m. in the morning in Cleveland County in the United States, and Tim Peeler is watching the Gospel Channel. If I have all faith so as to move mountains, but don't have love, I have nothing. As he commented earlier, pretty weird time to be watching the Gospel Channel.

You've done some bad shit during the day if you have to tune into the Gospel Channel at night. Man, these early stories were just a layup, weren't they? Sitting around watching the gospel channel. Like that doesn't happen in our episodes anymore. I know. We got to find more stories like this. It's fantastic.

Now, Tim Peeler was a bit of a mountain man. An all-American, log-cutting, no-nonsense, f*** the city folk, blue-collar guy. Hey, after five years, I'm starting to be in Tim's camp because in that time, I've moved out of the city. I'm a f*** the city guy. He's up late, hanging out in his cabin in the woods when he hears a strange noise coming from outside. Now, living in the forest, you're pretty used to late night noises. Coyotes, bears, foxes banging each other. But luckily, Tim is a pro hunter who owns a special hunting device that you can blow into and it makes animal noises.

So, he grabs it off the rack, along with his jacket, and heads out into the darkness of the forest. and heads out into the darkness of the forest. On the edge of the tree line, he can see some sort of dark figure lurking there in the shadows. It must have been at least 10 feet tall. And that's pretty tall. I'm six foot, and I'm pretty tall. So imagine a 10-foot monster in the darkness.

It's a pretty intimidating sight. You're not six foot. Maybe in some Air Jordans. So I just need to get that out of the darkness. It's a pretty intimidating sight. You're not six foot. Maybe in some Air Jordans. So I just need to get that out of the way. This beast is 10 foot the same way Rory's six foot. I'll say that much. In my Heelys, I'm 6'1". All right? In my Heelys.

That's actually a little bit of a joke because when we originally recorded this episode, I say that I'm 5'11". And then I go, why the f*** did I say that? I could have said I was six foot. So I thought I could sneak him by you a second time. I won't let it stand. I will not let it stand. Well, luckily it didn't sound like we'd hit puberty yet when we recorded that episode the first time. So maybe we have grown a couple inches. I could be six foot.

Not to get pulled off the beaten track here, but just talking about Tim and his hunting ways out in the wilderness. I don't know if we talked about it in the original episode. Have you been hunting? No, I'm not a big, uh, I'm not a big hunting guy. Well, and I feel like as a vegan, you're probably not either. You would think, uh, I didn't have a choice, brother. I recently became a hunter it was either be hunted or be a hunter alright you're gonna have to elaborate

wait what this was very recently I was at my my wife's parents house at my in-laws house and we're all sitting around having you know as we love to do whenever we're there we're having a cozy little evening maybe sipping on a little hot chocolate having a cozy little family night in relaxing my father-in-law

basically kicks down the living room door wearing full fatigues with a gun in hand and was like come with me run i'm in my jammies at this point i I don't know what's happening, but I get up. You know, when your father-in-law says, you know, you're doing something, you're doing something. There's not too much. I don't know. I don't necessarily agree with that. There's a lot of gray areas in which you should probably say no,

including the story that you're about to tell on this podcast. I salute. I follow dutifully. I get on my slippers to match with my jam jams. We get up to the roof. He informs me that a fox has gone into the farm and it's about to go for the lambs. In reality, it was a very calm situation,

but in my head, there's air raid sirens playing. I'm so discombobulated. I'm like fucking Harry Styles in 1917. I'm like, thank God he didn't give me a gun because he would have known that would have been suicide. But he made me hold an extreme long range torch. And he was like, you need to hold this still and we're going to try and flush it out.

Dude, if someone even just tossed a rifle at me, I guarantee you I would somehow manage to catch it with the barrel under my chin and pull the trigger as I try and grasp it. I would kill myself within seconds. I cannot be trusted with a firearm. A hundred percent. 1000%. Needless to say, I didn't get too far in this. Thank God the fox didn't materialize before my wife bailed me out of, like she does in every situation in life, bailed me out of the situation by, you know,

just completely cutting off any moment of manliness I was about to have by yelling up, being like, dad, don't make him do that. He's vegan. I was like, I am vegan, sir. And I was dishonorably discharged from the family military that day. That's brutal.

So I got a taste, but i didn't draw blood that day you got pretty close you got the whole experience except for the thrill of the kill like i think it's supposed to be the only bit which is the point i think yeah i haven't really done any hunting in my life but you know i have um as you know covered myself in war paint and wandered around my apartment uh trying to deal with the moth infestation that has kind of plagued me for the last year so um i've probably claimed more lives than you have if you believe they do have souls it's like i had to decide they don't and they talk to me in my dreams but i just like to tell myself that's a nightmare so it's safe to say that you and I don't have a lot of hunting experience.

No, I think anytime me and you talk about guns or anything like that on this Paranormal Life, we get a litany of emails and messages on social media saying, you guys don't know what you're talking about. We admit that. We don't. Now, before Tim can even get close to whatever this thing is, his dogs start barking like mad. Now, it's important to note that Tim has two female dogs that he specifically mentions multiple times were in heat. I forgot this. This is a very important part of the story. I'll be honest. I don't even know what it means when

a dog is in heat. It just means they want to have sex right they're super horny yes i'm not a vet or something but i think uh your dog is down bad his dtf the figure slowly began to move edging closer towards tim and his dogs even if this thing was just a bear, he didn't want it anywhere near him. So he cried out at the monster. Get! Go on, get! Iconic TPL lie. Worried that his cries wouldn't be intimidating enough, Tim grabbed a large stick and started swinging it around wildly. The combination worked, and the shadowy figure retreated into the darkness. But that wasn't the last time Tim would see the creature. In fact, he would see it again that night.

Jesus. Tim returned to his cabin. I assume straight back onto the gospel channel. Yeah, Jesus is right. I figure it's probably one of those things where he's like, Oh, Lord, I know you work in mysterious and subtle ways, but I need you to kill

that motherfucker. Whatever that was, Lord, I don't know if you sent a messenger, but he was a little too tall for me. Tim quietly goes back inside, gets on his hands and knees

and goes, Lord, am I not praying enough? Do I not bequeath thee with enough adoration and love? Because y'all seem to be testing me down here. Or right beforehand, he's like, oh Lord, am I a bad man? Should I change my ways?

Please just give me a sign. He sees the 10 foot mountain beast, looks back at the TV. Really anything would do, any kind of subtle hint that I should change my ways. Nothing? I don't know. Guess I'll have another whiskey then. See you on Sunday, you old son of a bitch.

But it wasn't long before the dogs started barking again. Tim shut off the TV and headed out to check on his horny girls. Don't call them that. But they're not barking out of horniness. Believe me. and headed out to check on his horny girls. Don't call them that. Don't call them that. But they're not barking out of horniness.

Believe me. Well, you don't know that. As someone who's barked out of horniness many times in their life, I know a horny bark when I hear one. They were barking because the creature was back. This time, standing motionless, right in Tim's backyard backyard he can't believe what he's seeing it's suddenly apparent why the dogs are barking so much in a panic one of them has wrapped their chain leash around the creature's leg hell yes i forgot this detail so crazy i mean dogs will do

that just out of like confusion and fuss but yeah that's a pretty awesome hunting dog right there like the dog has borderline tied up the enemy and handed tim a loaded pistol no no like a gangster in a movie and said it's time to earn your stripes tim make the kill i had to tell you this the first time we did this episode i do not believe they intentionally tied up the creature's legs five years later it still sounds incredibly convincing kill i had to tell you this the first time we did this episode i do not believe they intentionally tied up the creature's legs five years later it still sounds incredibly convincing this isn't like trying to take down a walker in star wars on the ice planet hoth they aren't circling around him until he eventually trips over i believe this was an accident whether it was accidental or not

who's to know while the dogs have this beast chained up, Tim can now see it clearly in the moonlight. Now, one exciting development is, Kit, in our original episode, I never even showed you the picture that Tim drew of this creature. So we're bringing new evidence to the case. Why don't you take a look at this? This is never before seen evidence. A sketch from Tim Peeler himself. It's amazing. With the technology available in 2023 and the free time available for Rory to

properly research the case, he was able to find some evidence. I've quit many jobs since 2018. I would kill to see this. Then see it now. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Oh, no.

They chained up a man. No one said it was a man. That guy's name is Kyle. No. He loves pantera he he drinks at the local uh three stooges watering hole no that is oh my god that is a 10 foot mountain beast sir he loves natty ice and big booties i can see it in his eyes you're like that's my father-in-law i see what he's going for which is this is a humanoid figure. It's very hairy.

It's supposed to look imposing and tall. It's got a big human beard, long human hair and human eyebrows. Let me tell you, folks, there's two options right here. This is either Sasquatch or some sort of buff wizard. Either way, it needs to die. Well, not if he's human. I didn't say human. I said Sasquatch or a buff wizard.

Right. But a wizard is a magical human. Are wizards human? Wizards have human rights. I don't know if you need to hear that. Wizards have human rights. Witches too. That was why it was bad when they burned all the witches.

Hey, I'm just telling you. Wizard or Bigfoot, you come at my cabin in the night, boom. Oh, come on now. Click, click, click, boom. Boom. Boom, shake, shake, shake the room. You just said that if you held on to a gun for three seconds,

you would kill yourself. Oh, that's- Accidentally. Accidentally. I don't want to be misquoted on that. Look, I'm just saying, I don't trust anything in the night that's a quote you could take from me i don't trust anything in the night you in the night night night lights nothing so if i don't trust a wizard in the day there's no way i'm trusting it in the night tim says the creature was 10 foot tall and covered in thin white yellowish hair.

Yellowish? God. The creature also had a thin silver beard that led down to below his waist. I forgot that. Tim said the hair grew down to cover his parts and I could see he was a male. If you catch my drift. We all catch my drift. We all catch your drift. This is a difficult situation to be in.

So what can Tim do? He can't scare the creature away. His foot is stuck in the chain. And if it gets riled up and excited, it could go crazy and bang the dogs. We don't know. It's not going to. You are right, though.

I didn't really think of it this way. I was so caught up- About the dogs. Praising the dogs for tangling up this thing and just laying it out for Tim to put a bullet in its head. But they really have cornered Tim. They've really put him in a fight or flight situation. You know what I mean? 100%.

This thing was probably ready to run, but he can't. Now he can't. Yeah, they're really calling Tim's bluff. There's a lot of crossed wires going on here. mean a hundred percent this thing was probably ready to run but he can't now it can't yeah they're really like calling tim's bluff there's a lot of crossed wires going on here this creature doesn't know what's going on the dogs are horny now it's chained up the monster maybe this sasquatch thinks this is some sort of bdsm bondage experiment going on you're horny for the sasquatch you're horny for the sasatch. Tim's coming out. Tim, I don't think he has a gun.

And what does he do? He shoots it dead? He said he was a hunter. Yeah, but he's got the bird calls. So I don't know if he- That only lures the- What do you think he gets the bird out of the sky with? That just lures the birds.

I don't know if he has a gun. I don't know if he has a weapon. Everyone in this situation is in a very difficult position. I mean, what would you do in this position? I would run. I would run. The dogs are on their own. You can't just run and leave your cabin in the middle of the night. Watch me. Watch me. He's 10 foot tall. He's 10 foot tall and he's trapped and he's angry. What else am I supposed to do? To be fair, I might just go back inside lock the door well tim being the brave

mountain man that he is he didn't run he stood his ground and right before his eyes without making a noise the creature bent down and untangled himself from the chains around his foot just like a human would that's because his name's andy this is what really sets this thing apart from a normal animal. You know, if you chain up a bear or a monkey, those guys are going to freak the f*** out. Yeah. Any kind of wild animal. It's in their instinct to avoid captivity. Based on my own experiences, even having a cat, a family cat that we have loved and treated and cuddled and kissed for years. The second you need to put that thing in a cage so it can go to the vet, it's as if it's the

red wedding and it feels like the whole family has turned on the cat. It's in the corner throwing slashes, fighting for its life. wild animals do not enjoy any form of restraint you couldn't be more right you could take the cats out of the the wilderness or wherever cats come from but you can't take the wilderness out of the cats yeah even something harmless i bet if you had a rope small enough to tie up a bumblebee that motherfucker is stinging everyone it can get its little pointy ass on. This is something as a father of a young child, even I have noticed that the animalistic nature in all of us just comes out.

You try to put a cute beanie hat, bobble hat on a baby. Yeah. That baby's like, get it, get it off. Don't like it, don't like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's the thing. This does display a kind of human level of reasoning

that this thing was able to calmly deescalate the situation and, you know, rather than getting riled up, just take the chain off. Yeah, very unanimalistic of it. Could we be dealing with some sort of creature of higher intelligence? Some sort of cryptid that is half man, half beast? Some kind of 38-year-old Metallica-loving, beer-chugging local?

Ten foot, Kit? Ten foot? Did I mention he has six fingers on each hand, by the way? You actually didn't. Yeah, well, now I am. Just to shut you up, I'm going to throw a lot of shit out here. Is that true? According to Tim, it is, yeah. Well, Tim was pretty deep into the moonshine that night already,

so I don't know if we can trust everything Tim says. Even with Tim yelling and the dogs barking, this beast in Tim's yard just stood there in silence. Tim said the creature was too humanoid and precious to kill. He ran up to the creature once again, waving his stick, crying out, Go on, get! Get! When the creature still refused to move, Tim was left with only one option. He ran up to the beast and punched it in the face.

The moment that would define paranormal history forever. The man who punched Bigfoot. Bigfoot, a legendary story. The story that, in a sense, launched even this podcast. It's so true. I mean, I do have to pause for a second with the pure logistics of that. I don't know how tall Tim is,

but punching a 10-foot Bigfoot is like dunking from... That's some space jam shit you got to have that michael jordan space jam elastic arm if you're gonna punch up that high yeah that's crazy it's so tall yeah that is tall because i need a stepladder or something not in my heelies granted in my heelies i'm six one and very fast you said six foot the first time. Well, I'm getting taller as I age. What is 10 foot in meters? Three meters? Rory, that door is two meters tall. What?

No, it isn't. Doors are two meters. So half that again is 10 foot. There's no way it's actually that tall. Okay. Well, think about this for a second. I'm going to get up. I'm 5'11".

All right, kid's standing by the door. And I'm not the height of this door. Okay. I'm almost six foot. It's like almost double it. So you're all the way up there. So if you stand on that box over there, then you would be, you're getting closer. So then if I were to, hypothetically, if I were to be Tim

and I were to try and punch you in this situation. Well, that would be. Hypothetically, hypothetically, I'm trying to like, I can't quite reach you now. But if I were to swing, if I were to swing. My balls. I'm sorry. I just got too, like for a minute there,

I was, I was in it. For a minute, I was Tim and I just, I just, I just got way too into it, man. I'm sorry. I just got too, like for a minute there, I was, I was in it for a minute. I was Tim and I just, I just, I just got way too into it, man. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I really think that I get, go on, get, I'm sorry. I just, I think I'm too close to the story and I'm, I had a glass of champagne and I'm just kidding.

You're in heat now. Champagne. And I'm just kidding. You're in heat now. Tim Peeler, the only man I believe on Earth who claims he punched Bigfoot in the face. He chinned the mythical beast. In fear, the monster scuttled away back into the forest. Now, Tim has seen this thing twice in one night. There's a good chance it'll come back for round three. So what does he do? He does something smart.

He calls the police. Interesting. Yeah. I wouldn't have known if this man of the woods, man of the nature would turn to the cops like that. He's a smart guy. He's a hunter. He's a man of the world. He's had a dangerous experience. He knows his limits. That's what he knows. 100%. This is outside of my jurisdiction. Again, some people may have heard this episode before,

but if this is your first time, I'm imagining Tim is thinking, he's already come back twice. There's a good reason to suspect he'll come back a third time. Right. I'm not taking any chances. I want to play things safe.

I'm going to call the police, get some people out here so that they can be witnesses and back up my claims when inevitably people doubt that this ever happened that's kind of what i'm thinking you know yes kind of what i'm that that sounds like exactly the way he would even talk now of course the best part about this case is that we actually have the police recording of tim peeler that night and we can play it hell yes right here live on the podcast you know this thing ages like fine wine i'm gonna guess some people who have heard the original episode may remember that at this point tim's reliability is thrown into question slightly. We've built up this reputation of him being a trustworthy, honest, God-loving mountain man.

We're all visually picturing Benedict Cumberbatch at this point. Sure. Yeah, yeah. Smart, outdoorsy, but kind of buff guy. All I'll say is Benedict Cumberbatch likes to drink sometimes too. That's all I'll say. That's all I'll say. Right, so like a gin and tonic or... Just listen for yourself and make up your own mind. Cleveland County 911.

Yeah. I got it. I don't know if I should have called this in an orbit. What's going on? If I'd have my camera, I'd take a picture of you. Okay, he's been drinking paint. I don't know what it was. He wasn't a giant like a man.

Okay, what did it look like? It looked like a giant ape with a man's face. But I was afraid to kill it. Would I get in any trouble if I shot and killed this beast i did not shoot okay the thing i did not shoot it an absolutely iconic moment in tpl history did you get that shit printed on a t-shirt. I don't know what it was. We actually mentioned in the original episode, the top comment on the video at the time

was, quote, this guy sounds like he's been drinking, but hell, if I saw Bigfoot, I'd be drinking too. Now you brought up a really good point the first time that we did this episode, that you can clearly tell from the recording Tim Peeler has had a few drinks yeah who hasn't i'm having a few drinks right now you know we're on his level and alcohol can make people slightly exaggerate their stories

tim says the creature has six fingers on each hand maybe it was five he says the creature was 10 feet tall maybe it was five he says it was a some sort of monster man it was just a man we don't know these things but there's always a you know an 80 not an 80 a 20 amount of exaggeration that goes into drunken stories uh but people always do this you know if you go out for a night of drinking and then someone asks you how it was the next day and you had a wild night, you're like, dude, it was the best night ever. It was a fine night.

It's called beer goggles, folks. Yeah. We literally externally and subjectively internally experience everything different when under the influence. It's a reason why me and rory have been stone cold sober for the last six years and we fell off the wagon to celebrate episode 300 um but it's because you have to have your wits about you it's true we do drink a lot of champagne but i will say champagne has a zero percent alcoholic content it just does quite a bit of neurological damage

that imitates the effects of alcoholism. When really you are damaging your internal nervous system beyond repair, beyond repair, truly. Very different thing. You can still drive is what I'm saying legally. The active ingredient is Novichok. It is a Novichok poison. The active ingredient is Novichomp. It is a Novichok poison. The active ingredient is Novichomp.

That's right, we made that too. It's a close relative of Novichok. I can't believe I keep saying things with the chomp sound. But luckily, even if we decide right now today that Tim is maybe not a reliable witness, there may be more witnesses that we can rely on. Word? To decide whether or not this case is true.

We're going to talk about them right after a quick word from our sponsors. All right, welcome back, everyone, to the podcast. As we said, if we don't want to trust Tim, how about instead we trust a man of the law? Okay. A local deputy at the Cleveland County Police Station took Tim's claims very seriously. And he said that as a child, he heard stories of a 10-foot creature breaking into chicken coops and local farms to kill animals. I mean, Rory, I've already explained that I have a lot of experience in defending farms and their animals from borderline cryptids.

Well, it's not like you never even fired a single shot. I helped. I pointed the torch and I tried to flush out the animal and it didn't work. This seems a little bit strange because in Tim's story, we're dealing with a creature intelligent enough to just reach down and untangle himself from a chain. But then also we're to believe he's like, I'm just going to go. This is crazy. I'll see you later, Tim.

I'm going to strangle a couple of chickens on my way out, though, real quick, just because I just love blood and eating chicken bones. Hope you're cool with that. Seems uh two different creatures you know yeah i see what you're saying but then again me i'm a sophisticated city guy i love to read drink espresso you don't like either in east london and then now and again i like to do 17 Jäger bombs and then eat a bucket of KFC chicken on the way home so people can live many lives think about Batman are you done?

just think about him Bruce Wayne Batman he's not real two totally different things you know just think about it so sorry

alright so that was cool so sorry to recap. We don't have to dwell on that point. Which one's Bruce Wayne? Is Sasquatch Bruce Wayne? I'm just saying that some people are complicated creatures, you know? Look at Batman.

All right, you got to stop. You got to stop leading me there because I asked for a bit of an explanation and we didn't really get one. It's one man, yet it is a man and a bat how can i be more explicit than that i was really hoping you were still talking about sasquatch uh also that's not what batman is getting back to sasquatch yeah it is the problem here that you know this police officer is alleging that the sasquatch might have taken out these farm animals. I feel like my story proves that farm animals get taken out all the time by lots of different things. Yeah. I don't know if that's much to go on. What do you think? Well, at the same time, you know, even if this

creature is smart, is sophisticated, smarter than any of the other local wildlife, he's still an animal. No one's serving him McDonald's cheeseburgers out in those forests. He has to eat. He has to get food. A thousand percent. And if the response is whenever he approaches a cabin looking for a ham sandwich, somebody punches him in the face and his dogs tangle him up. I'd be like, f*** you. I'm going to go eat your chickens then. If you don't want to give me a slice of your lasagna,

which I can smell from here, then I'm going to go eat your chickens. Tim isn't cooking lasagna. Tim doesn't know how to cook lasagna. Tim is wearing long johns and the ass flap is flapped downwards and he's got a tin of baked beans on an open flame. The exact same deputy said

that it was blowing his mind that after all these years, reports of the same creature were still happening. And I know that sounds crazy, but sightings of the Sasquatch in Cleveland County go all the way back to at least the 1970s. So this is something that's been happening in this area for a long time. That is interesting because sometimes in this paranormal life, the sightings go back. I think on a recent episode, the sightings went back 1000 years. So the 70s is, I mean, that's fun because it's a believable amount of time. I said at least the 70s as well. It could go back further. 1000 years. It could go back to 10 BC, where unfortunately a lot of the dudes

look like this. Big beards, 10 foot tall. Now, interestingly enough, because this was our first ever investigation into the world of the paranormal and our only investigation ever, I believe, into Bigfoot, you brought up the Patterson footage. At the time, I didn't even know what the Patterson footage was, which is crazy to think about now. We're such fresh

faced investigators. Ridiculous. Well, I'm sorry, Roy, but I think you'll find the Patterson footage. Have you seen the Patterson footage? No, no. Okay, I think we should just take a little break. Is there a big man? Big foot? The Patterson footage is so

famous, you might have already seen is it the one where he's like looking a little bit to the looks back is it not just a gorilla like a man in a gorilla suit i don't know i think it's bigfoot which seems absolutely crazy to me like listening back to that clip because you know in the world of the paranormal there's not that much iconic evidence that's out there when we talk about these cases maybe some photographs from area 51 uh maybe what else is there i don't know like the bloop uh you know or yeah or like the yes signal or whatever it is 52 hertz yeah the wow signal the Yeah, yeah. There's only so much real

iconic evidence. So the fact that we had started this podcast and I didn't even know what the Patterson footage was is kind of crazy to even think about. Now, towards the end of the episode, we do talk about what it would take for us to definitively say that we believe Bigfoot exists. Not just that Tim punched him, but that a creature like Sasquatch does exist. And of course, we come back to the age-old question of physical evidence. Specifically, DNA. If there was anything to prove that this creature was real, it would be some sort of DNA, whether a hair sample, whether a fur sample, something, something that scientists can latch onto to form an argument. And again, because it was so early in the series of This Paranormal Life,

we had standards for our evidence. We wanted things that were as scientific as DNA. I think as the series went on, I think at one point I said I would accept a man's word as evidence. went on i think at one point i said i would accept a man's word as evidence it's important to note uh early on we when we talking about evidence it was all journal-based scientific entries quotes from people who are knowledgeable in the fields whether it was archaeologists talking about ancient egypt or biologists uh talking about some of the creatures in the forest then we invented halfway through the series we invented the golden through the series, we invented the golden pyramid of truth, which is the pillars on which any paranormal case can be justified. And the pillars of truth contain three main beams, which are hearsay, rumor, and a man's word.

As long as you have, I'll take any one. One of the three. I'll take one of the three. That's admissible as evidence in the paranormal courts. Let me tell you. Paranormal kangaroo courts. So let me tell you,

as soon as Tim punched this thing, I'm giving it a yes for sure now. But back in the early days of the podcast, we had something known as integrity and pride. It's because you go into the paranormal trying to treat it like, you know, a chemistry experiment. Yeah. But it's not like a chemistry experiment. It's like a symphony.

How do you listen to Bach and get DNA? I don't understand that analogy. How do you see the Bigfoot and get physical evidence? It doesn't happen yeah if you want to understand the guy who thinks he saw bigfoot you have to become the guy who thinks he saw bigfoot it's all very funny to start a little podcast where you're making jokes at all the guys wearing tinfoil hats but let me tell you folks folks, after 300 episodes, your hat's looking pretty shiny if you catch my drift. Your Atlanta Braves baseball cap is looking pretty crinkly.

Pretty crinkly, all right. You could roast a chicken with that hat. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. So I think at one point we were the outsiders looking in. After 300 episodes. Brother, you're locked in begging to get out. You just swing for me again.

Yeah. Sorry. Just getting riled up again. Well, what I will say is when we were originally discussing the need for DNA and evidence in this case, we did find something online. After what the Huffington Post described as a five-year study of reported Sasquatch DNA samples, Texas veterinarian Melba Ketchum and her team announced that they had found proof that the Sasquatch is a human relative that arose approximately 15,000 years ago as a hybrid cross of modern Homo sapiens with an unknown primate species.

Bro, you know I've drunk too much champagne to have followed all that. I basically finished the sentence, looked over at Kit, and his eyes were glazed over. Glazed like Krispy Kreme donuts. So you're saying that there is a scientific basis for at least the existence at some point, although I think you might have said 15,000 years ago, of this kind of missing link relative. Yeah.

But is there evidence for it now? This is coming straight from Pokemon trainer slash veterinarian Melba Ketchum. Some relation to Ash. Ketchum then called for this DNA sample to be recognized officially, saying that the government at all levels must recognize the Bigfoots as indigenous people and immediately protect their human and constitutional rights against those who would day long about your cultural differences. If you try to bang my dogs, it's game over. It's game over.

As Rory says... Is this your town hall meeting? As Rory says, if you come around to my house and you try to bang my dogs... I definitely didn't say that. What kind of gun is that? Truly the man who's never fired a gun before. You mess with me i'm going kaka po kaka po

so you you don't know what a gun sounds like this is tim and all his mates trying to back him up hey what i'll say is the original kit and rory they were giggling at that shit they thought it was funny but now kit and rory we're all about protecting the rights of the paranormal creatures of the world because we've investigated a lot of them the donkey lady let her haunt her own bridge no one else stepped foot on that bridge the hoedag stop trying to blow him up with dynamite let him be the lizard man if he wants to fist fight people in a church car park let Let him. I should be a paranormal lawyer defending these paranormal creatures. Because in many cases,

these weird bugs and creatures were doing their thing for longer than we've been around. Or at least I've been around. You know who else was called a weird bug and a little creature? Kit. You know who else was made fun of

at school and pushed around kit uh no it wasn't i was actually you know who was called a little freak a little goblin a little outcast kit no i had like good taste and i'll defend him to the death cool i'll defend him my whole life i've been defended do you know who else was going to be put out of their misery until a doctor came along and said, actually, he is human and he's pretty special? Kit. Do you know who else was originally going to be locked in a cage and hidden away in the shadows until a doctor told me I was the crazy one? Kit. Unfortunately, failing to find a scientific journal that would actually publish the results that they had found, Ketchum announced on February 13th, 2013, that their research had officially been published in the De Novo Journal of Science.

I don't know if you remember this, Kit. I do. I do. But unfortunately, upon investigation, the Huffington Post discovered the journal's domain had been registered anonymously nine days before the announcement. And the only edition of the De Novo journal was listed as Volume 1, Issue 1, Bigfoot Research. Absolutely incredible. One issue, one Bigfoot research. Absolutely incredible. The levels of my girlfriend goes to another school here in terms of my paper actually got published. An even better journal than all y'all. It's real throw another party because you didn't get invited to the main party energy, you know?

I'm sure we said it at the time, but, you know, to me at this point in time, I'm not a scientist, but what I do know is that scientists run these journals. Yeah. And if they don't want to publish something in their journal, that is generally because the standard of the science is not there. The quality. These scientific journals are a little old school, guys. They don't abide by the laws of the golden pyramid of truth.

They require a little bit more scientific evidence. I also want to say, as a side note, I'm not a scientist, but is a really good idea for a podcast. I'm not a scientist, but, and then say X, Y, Z. Right. I'm not a scientist, but stop brushing your teeth. See what happens. It's not that bad.

I'm not a scientist, but you know those little gel package you find in shoeboxes? Why don't they want you to eat them? Pretty tasty. One can't kill you. I'm not a scientist, but see how long you can hold your breath underwater. The record can't be that hard. Just try it. It just takes balls.

Now, I know what you're thinking. We recorded this episode five years ago. Surely, in that period of time, there has been some sort of team of investigators, adventurers, wild, wilder people, who have managed to find more convincing evidence of Bigfoot existing. And I will say there was a research team called Expedition Bigfoot who merely one slash two years ago now managed to, on a quest to hunt down the mythical creature, find some, what they're calling eDNA, which stands for environmental DNA. Okay, so it's, to be clear, it's not DNA?

It's a little muddy, literally. I believe they found footprints in the soil that they believe were left by Bigfoot. Huge footprints that couldn't have been left, allegedly, couldn't have been left by any other creature. They then used the soil sample to try and, I guess, retract any type of DNA from it. And when they did, they found DNA relating to primates

that weren't kind of on the part of the scientific knowledge okay i see i'm butchering that explanation but i believe that's loosely what they made sense so i don't know if that is necessarily enough to change our minds heading into the conclusion of this episode but it's just something to bear in mind that in the five years we've been doing this podcast, people haven't given up. There are still men, women, and children out there hunting for the legendary Sasquatch. And I say good luck to them. It's a cottage industry. There is a network of TV shows, podcasters, independent investigators, and just general sideshow freaks uh that are out there doing it and in some cases making a job out of it like that is their hell look at us episode 300 buddy i'll drink to that

is looking for the bigfoot um i don't doubt that they're out there looking for it i mean i think the thing is you know i don't remember how we came down on this episode but i i don't know if we ever intended for episode three or whatever it was the episode about the man who punched bigfoot i don't know how much we ever intended for that to be the first and last word in whether bigfoot was real no i think uh i don't remember how the episode ended but i i believe the intention was you know that we would essentially come back to it because there are so many bigfoot stories i don't think you need to investigate him definitively as a creature in the same way that we've kind of done multiple stories about vampires

right um we probably should go back and do multiple stories on Bigfoot and Sasquatch and taking it on a case-by-case investigation rather than this big blanket all investigation that rules out any other further ones. Because hell, there's a lot more stories out there, more convincing than Tim Peeler's. It is worth us going back and really diving into some of these other testimonies. Yeah, we really should. We've seen the Patterson footage. What about all the other footage? Absolutely. A lot more convincing stuff has kind of come to light since we started this podcast, let me tell you. Okay, guys, there's no need to delay the inevitable. It's time to, as we did on that first episode, to come down on our conclusions, not on Bigfoot, but as to whether or not we believe that Tim Peeler that night actually punched the legendary Sasquatch in the face.

Kit, I'm going to throw it to you first. What a throwback. What a beautiful trip down memory lane. And what a treat to even think about the Sasquatch. Even talking about it makes us realize that we don't do it enough. That this like cultural behemoth that looms over all of the paranormal world, we actually rarely talk about anymore

because we have so many other fantastic cases to look into. So fun to come back. There is a number of, I mean, look, let's get out of the way. Tim's a maniac. He's drunk as hell. He's living out in the middle of nowhere. You got to know it's difficult for us to take that man's word as even a man's word in the pyramid of truth.

But that being said, you know, he did. He saw Sutton. Sutton got, you know, wrapped up in the dog's chains. He hit Sutton. Yeah. But was it 10 foot? Did it have six fingers? Was it Bigfoot? It's hard. It's hard to trust him when it comes to ticking all of those boxes. So I'm happy to take the lead here. I believe despite five years of experience now investigating

the paranormal and all the new evidence that has come to light i still believe our first ever case on this paranormal life is a no i think it still is but listen excited to look at more bigfoot and hey what a delight to look back at episode one how far we've come bro wow hey if anything doesn't this just prove that from the get-go, we were f***ing laser sharp? We could smell bullshit a mile off. After five years, guess what? Nothing's changed, motherf***ers. We're still wild. My voice is back up here! My voice is back up here!

Wow, guys. I hope you had a great time. You know, having a little drive down memory lane and experiencing the first ever episode of This Paranormal Life once again through the eyes of the same Kitten Rory, but also a different Kitten Rory, a wiser, more responsible, but as you can tell, still irresponsible and moronic kitten rory a few other fun bits of trivia this one is really interesting but i think it's worth bringing up this was the first episode as i said of the show that we ever recorded and believe it or not this was actually the first time that i mentioned the dublin gorilla man wow in the first ever episode of the podcast crazy I didn't know that. That's crazy. I'll play the clip right now because it is really funny and it's worth hearing. I'm not going to go into it in this episode. Yes. Because this would be a whole episode in itself talking about our own paranormal experiences.

Yeah. But, you know, in my time, I did once come across a gorilla man. A monster creature. I think I've told you about it before. Have you? You're like, whoa, whoa wait stop the podcast are you doing a bit here or is this like a legit he's suddenly they're getting your speech is getting really slow i did not shoot it but it's crazy to think that it couldn't have even come earlier in the first episode i talked about this experience and in 300 episodes

i've never even got to tell the story before it just is so nuts because we'll often say to people like you know really if we hadn't made this paranormal life we we might have made a number of different podcasts um yeah you know we should make people doubt our commitment to the paranormal but um there you have it I've known Rory for probably 25 plus years and i didn't know the story of the dublin gorilla man but it came pouring out episode one of our podcast well yeah clearly one of us was a little bit more keen to do the paranormal podcast you imagine the first episode of i'm not a scientist but and it's like this is gonna be so much fun man we'll just riff and it's like uh i'm

not a scientist but i saw a 10-foot gorilla man in dublin in 2014 and it scarred me for life and you're like yeah i guess that's relevant kind of you're like uh i'm not a scientist but uh i think humans could fly if they think hard enough all right roy your turn uh i'm not a scientist but the gorilla man haunts my dreams to this day. I just hit stop on the recorder. That's cool, man. I think we're done. I think we're done for today.

It's really cool, though. So, you know, we have actually told the Dublin Gorilla Man story at our live shows before. We kind of do it as a treat. But I thought, like, episode 300. It's been 300 episodes. We can't wait any longer. Let's tell it right here. i'm just looking at the clock and we have bro we have 13 minutes 13 minutes to seven we have to get out of the studio with 12 now it just changed 12 and we got like i'll be fast we just got a wrap up to do we got a couple of shout outs so it was my dad's baseball team uh we were down in dublin

i just don't know if we have time so thank you so much thank you so much to everyone 300 I just think 300 you want to like end that with something I totally agree but I think we built up like a ton of momentum and like maybe that means

maybe that means we do it next week but not now next week? not now not now so next week you think or

I just don't want to wait to like 400 500 to do this because like no dude 301 301's gonna ring to it 301's gonna ring to it 301 okay I like that alright next week then No. 301, 301's got a ring to it. 301's got a ring to it.

301, okay, I like that. All right, next week then. 301, 301, the Dublin Gorilla Man story. Over my dead body. The final note I have is we end the podcast with a very controversial take

where I say that I want Bigfoot to exist so I could kill him and eat him. A comment I'm not sure I stand by today. Yeah. You know, as I just said, I want to be a lawyer. I want to defend the creatures of the paranormal. But that's just the growth.

That's the growth of five years. That's the growth, man. And I think, you know, I hopefully appreciate the fact that over these years, you guys have grown up with us. You've experienced tiny kitten Rory. You've experienced grown kitten Rory. You've experienced grown kitten Rory. And hell, five, ten years,

you'll experience old grumpy kitten Rory. Yeah. Who are going to be pretty wild by the time they get to 40, 50. Let me tell you,

it's going to be a whole different show, folks. It's going to be a kind of Hunter S. Thompson. We'll be wearing sunglasses, a fishing hat. We'll be drunk and high at the same time

and swinging shotguns around. But what an adventure. Guys, thank you so much for tuning in to episode 300. Oh my goodness. Of This Paranormal Life. If you've been with us from the beginning,

thank you from the bottom of our hearts. As Rory mentions, some of you have been listening from a young age. At our live shows, we were utterly blown away to meet people who started listening as a child yeah and now they meet us at a show and we you know

get to you know have a big hug you know and they are grown adults um you've been on such a journey with us so thank you thank you thank you and uh you know for all those people who you know maybe episode 300 episode 299 298 is your first ever episode go f**k yourself no no where were you when we needed you no we need them now we need them we need we need them right now you see a piece of hot s**t and you want to tag along well guess what that's not how they saw it guess what their friend probably sent them a podcast and said this is a really fun, inclusive podcast. You should give it a listen. Yeah, you should give it a listen to know what you're missing.

Because we don't need you, buddy. We need you. We need you. Thank you for every listen. Thank you. But guys, the celebration is not over yet. We wanted to make this episode extra special, and we hope that you guys will be a part of it.

And we're so grateful for you joining us. Roy, I totally couldn't agree more. I am just, I wanted to quickly circle back on something we were talking about earlier. So I just haven't quite got clear in my head about the height of the beast. So if you just wouldn't mind stepping up on this little thing

That was a pun, but it was also kind of serious. Roland, the commune has no method of public transportation.

Nothing is rolling. You're the transport minister. Figure it out. We need you to find out a way that people can get from A to B. And that's all there is. City A to City B. And City A is the slums, and City B is the kingdom where Kit and I reside. So if you could

find some sort of like transport right uh because we need to bus people in to work in our kingdom and then we kind of bust them back to where they live at the end of the day let me tell you bus is kind of a tier we'll settle for like a muddy rug you pull people, they sit on, you pull them through the brambles and rocks, yeah. Cart with a seesaw on it that we push. Whatever it takes, bud. I mean, you know, it's between you and us, all right? You know, we never tell the other peasants in the commune, but whatever's cheap is bud. Thank you, Roland.

Thank you so much, Roland. Thank you to everyone that supports us on patreon literally the support it was uh i mean how long was it like 50 episodes before we even started the patreon yeah and there's so many funny stories about the patreon and starting it which we'll talk about on saturday on the live stream so you should join but uh But I will say that the Patreon and the support that you guys have given us over the years there is literally the only reason why this podcast is still going and the only reason it could ever still exist because of the funding from our audience

that we've used over the years. The studio that we're in literally right now is paid for through the Patreon. So we couldn't do it without you guys and we're so grateful so thank you so much thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts i hope you've enjoyed episode 300 and of course we will be back spam that gorilla emoji because kit promised 301 we'll be back we'll be back next tuesday with a brand new paranormal tale bye bye folks
