Ep.364 Summer of 69
Published: 14 December 2025
Tonight’s guest is Rob, joining us from Arizona. Back in 1969, on a logging road outside Marysville in Washington State, a late-night party turned into chaos as people fled shouting, running for their cars. Rob and his friends stayed long enough to see three towering figures step out from the tree line, the largest close to eight feet tall. His experiences didn’t end in the wilderness. During a 2017 eclipse trip that took him past Area 51, Rob and his friends saw bright camera-flash bursts flicker in different spots across the night sky. And while he was stationed in Japan during his Navy years, he had more than one unsettling encounter with a mysterious woman in traditional dress, appearing suddenly and vanishing just as fast.
1. The Logging-Road Party Encounter (1969 Washington State)
Roy and his friends drove deep into the woods outside Marysville, Washington, heading to a late-night party. As they arrived, people were running and shouting. When they got closer, they saw three towering figures step out of the treeline.
The largest was about eight feet tall
Massive build
Seen clearly by multiple witnesses
This is Roy’s Bigfoot encounter and he confirms the size and presence of the creatures shook everyone.
(This is explicitly mentioned in the transcript where Roy says the haunting kimono-girl encounter was “as spooky as the big thing”, referring to the Bigfoot sighting.)
2. The Hartwell Lake Orb (Arizona)
Roy, Bob, and Sharon were standing at the water’s edge around 2 or 3 AM.
A huge orb, twice the size of a beach ball
Orange, reddish, and yellow glow
Semi-transparent
Drifted over the lake, made a sharp left turn
Returned to the same position
Shot straight up and vanished instantly
3. Area 51 Eclipse Trip “Camera Flashes” (2017)
During the 2017 eclipse trip, Roy, Bob, and Michael camped near Area 51.
Bright flashbulb-like bursts appeared in different parts of the sky
Quick flashes that did not illuminate the ground
Moved from spot to spot
4. The Forest Road Laser Encounter (Arizona)
Driving back from Wickenburg late at night:
They pulled over to stargaze
Roy used a high-powered green laser
Something responded near the horizon
The transcript suggests a strange light or movement reacting to the beam
5. The Okinawa “Muddy Moon” Spirit Woman – First Encounter
While living in Japan, Roy met a mysterious woman dressed in full traditional kimono attire.
Appeared suddenly under a streetlight
Moved toward him with floating, gliding motion
Placed her hand over his on the taxi door handle
Cold to the touch
Taxi driver saw no one
She vanished without a trace
6. Okinawa – Second Encounter With the Same Woman
Roy later met the same woman again while scuba-diving with a friend.
She appeared unexpectedly
Witnessed by both Roy and his friend
Local bar hostesses later whispered “Muddy Moon,” a tragic spirit story associated with Okinawa
7. The Woman Who Dropped in the Road (Asia)
Driving late at night, Roy nearly hit a woman who suddenly appeared in the road.
She collapsed to the ground
When Roy reached her, she had vanished completely
This was another major paranormal event
