Bryce Edward recounts how his family’s 642-acre farm—settled in the 1850s near Pond Creek—has become a nexus of cryptid activity, paranormal events, and aerial anomalies. It began with his grandmother’s 1960s 'Honey Bear' story and escalated in 2023 with massive 18-inch footprints, a violently torn deer carcass, and eerie vocalizations. A pivotal 2024 daytime sighting of an eight-foot, jet-black figure—corroborated by physical evidence and filmmaker Joe Turry—solidified his conviction. Beyond Bigfoot, the land hosts UFOs (including pyramid- and triangle-shaped craft), green orbs near Ashmore Estates, and ancestral hauntings tied to Native American history and Revolutionary War burials. Audio investigations reveal mimicry, tree knocks, and distress-like calls—prompting cautious, culturally grounded engagement. Ley lines, coal deposits, caves, and the 37th parallel deepen the site’s reputation as Southern Illinois’ answer to Skinwalker Ranch. Bryce’s experiences—from foggy bonfire screams to lunar eclipse figures—paint a consistent, intelligent, non-aggressive presence that blurs biological and metaphysical boundaries.
