If you've ever wondered what it would be like to grow up on land where Bigfoot is basically a neighbor, the latest episode over on the ColeyUFO channel is going to hit you right in the feels. Coley and his dad, Gary Spikes Senior, hosted their "Pops and Co's Town Hall" show and brought on a father-son duo who might just have one of the most fascinating long-term relationships with Sasquatch out there.
Jim and Matt, the faces behind the Tennessee Kentucky Bigfoot YouTube channel, joined the show to share what it's been like living on family property for over 30 years and actively investigating the phenomenon for more than 15 of those years. That's not a weekend hobby. That's a lifestyle.
One of the most intriguing parts of the conversation came when Jim started talking about their communication with a young Sasquatch they call Scott. According to Jim, Scott just turned 20 this year, and the family has developed a genuine relationship with him over time. Matt mentioned that he started "talking to trees" about four or five years ago, but the connection goes back much further than that, all the way to when he was a little kid.
The discussion around "mind speak" was particularly interesting. For those unfamiliar with the term, mind speak is a concept that comes up frequently in Sasquatch research circles. It refers to a form of telepathic communication that witnesses and researchers report experiencing with these beings. Jim was careful to point out that in their experience, mind speak works differently than how others might describe it, but the underlying idea is the same. There's a two-way communication happening that doesn't rely on spoken language.
What really stood out was the message Scott has apparently been sharing with the family. Jim repeated it several times during the conversation because it clearly means a lot to them. Take care of your family. Take care of your business. Mind your business. It's a simple philosophy, but one that carries weight when it's coming from a being most people dismiss as folklore.
The chat was also buzzing with familiar names from the community. Roger Holler from Squatch and Holler was there, along with representatives from several other channels and podcasts. Jean Hudson, who Coley mentioned has been dealing with Sasquatch encounters her entire life, was in the chat dropping knowledge as usual. The sense of community in that room was palpable, with everyone greeting each other like old friends around a campfire.
Jim made an important point during the interview that deserves attention. He emphasized that Scott has a family and a life of his own, and that respecting that has been central to their approach. This isn't about capturing footage or proving anything to skeptics. It's about coexistence and mutual respect between two families sharing the same land.
The Tennessee Kentucky Bigfoot channel itself is worth checking out if you haven't already. Jim and Matt have been documenting their encounters and investigations for years, and their perspective is refreshingly grounded. They don't come across as thrill-seekers or attention-grabbers. They come across as people who have simply learned to live alongside something most of the world refuses to acknowledge exists.
For anyone interested in the deeper side of Sasquatch research, the kind that goes beyond footprint casts and thermal imaging, this episode is a must-watch. The conversation touches on topics that rarely get discussed openly in the mainstream, including the possibility that these beings are actively choosing to communicate with certain families and passing down knowledge through unconventional means.
Coley and Gary continue to book impressive guests for their Tuesday night shows, with Roger Holler scheduled to return next week. If this episode is any indication, the rest of their fall lineup is going to be packed with conversations that challenge conventional thinking about what's really out there in the woods.
Head over to the ColeyUFO channel and catch the full episode. It's the kind of interview that sticks with you long after it ends.
