Ark Green (often appearing with his wife Rebecca) is a lifelong outdoorsman from east-central / central Alabama who now talks publicly about repeated Bigfoot encounters and investigations. He and Rebecca run a YouTube channel called Cedar Creek Bottoms Farmstead where they discuss homesteading and Mark's cryptid experiences. The encounter that changed himMark reports a pivotal sighting in 2007 (Lowndes County, AL) while on a hunting lease. That event — described in several podcast interviews and writeups — shifted him from skeptic to active investigator and led him to name an area on his property (and nearby woods) “Creepy Mountain”, where he believes a group of Sasquatch/Bigfoot have been active. Accounts of the sighting include field details (swampy pawpaw/hardwood area, unusual movement and sounds, visual contact) and subsequent follow-up investigations. Dogman reports and related investigationsMark also discusses Dogman / hyena-type canid encounters from Alabama and nearby regions during interviews. He's appeared on shows (e.g., The Cryptid Huntress, Bigfoot Eyewitness, Discover Sasquatch / Untold Radio Network) to describe encounters, local eyewitnesses, and patterns he's noticed — including weird vocalizations, tracks, and aggressive/interested behaviour around hunting areas. These interviews are where he and others lay out both Bigfoot and Dogman reports for the region.

Assaults On Kids, Intervention and Investigations, His Experience. Retired Georgia Detective Shares the Harsh Truth About Investigations Into Assaults On Kids. In a recent interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, which is available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast platforms. It is also promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium, retired Georgia law enforcement officer Bryan McRee opened up about his harrowing experience investigating assaults and sex assaults on kids, a career focus he never anticipated but ultimately became his calling. With 25 years in law enforcement, Bryan's journey took him from a city Police Department to the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office in south-central Georgia, where he served as a Detective. It was there that he found himself pulled into the darkest aspects of crime: investigations into child sexual abuse. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “I never thought this would become a specialty for me,” Bryan said. “But once I handled my first case involving a child, I realized how critical it was that someone do this right, and do it with compassion.” Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Throughout his career, Bryan led numerous investigations involving minors, often uncovering trauma that had been hidden within trusted circles. Assaults On Kids, Intervention and Investigations, His Experience. “The majority of these assaults come from someone the child knows, a family member, a coach, a caretaker,” he explained. “That betrayal adds another layer of trauma, and it complicates the investigation.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Bryan detailed two specific cases that he believes the news media often misrepresents, stories that don't make for comfortable headlines, but are sadly common. According to Bryan, intervention needs to happen early, and the focus should always be on the victims, not sensationalism. “One of the hardest parts was facing attacks, not just from suspects, but sometimes from their families, who refused to believe the victim. That's something the public rarely sees,” he noted. “But these kids... they needed someone to believe them.” The emotional toll of these cases wasn't lost on Bryan. Assaults On Kids, Intervention and Investigations, His Experience. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. “You try to leave the job at the office, but when a kid looks you in the eye and says what happened to them, that stays with you. You carry that forever.” He emphasized that part of his duty wasn't just about arrests and convictions, it was about intervention, providing hope and healing to children and families whose lives had been shattered. Child sexual abuse is alarmingly prevalent. According to national statistics, every 68 seconds an American is sexually assaulted, and the vast majority of abused children, up to 93% that were sexually assaulted knew their abuser. Despite that, only 25 out of every 1,000 perpetrators are ever imprisoned. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms. “People need to understand the scale of the problem,” Bryan stressed. “We're talking about hundreds of thousands of victims. And these kids often don't have a voice, so we have to be that voice.” Assaults On Kids, Intervention and Investigations, His Experience. In Georgia, initiatives like the Keeping Kids Safe Campaign are part of an ongoing effort to provide intervention services to victims. Organizations like the Georgia Center for Child Advocacy (GCCA) serve over 900 children each year, offering forensic interviews, trauma-informed therapy, and family support. “What GCCA does is incredible,” Bryan said. “They're rebuilding lives.” Lowndes County, where Bryan served, is located near the Florida border and is part of the Valdosta metropolitan area. Known for its strong community ties and rich history, the Sheriff's Office there operates with a mission rooted in justice, dignity, and community service. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. “We were always taught to serve with integrity. To protect the innocent. That mission became very real when dealing with kids who had been assaulted.” Since retiring from law enforcement, Bryan has founded LEMS.Online, a company dedicated to modernizing law enforcement services. LEMS provides POST training, evidence room audits, and even duty-ready firearms and suppressors. The organization also offers a free training record management system for Georgia POST instructors, streamlining and improving how agencies track training and compliance. Assaults On Kids, Intervention and Investigations, His Experience. “It's about giving back,” he said. “My time as a cop taught me that law enforcement needs the right tools and training. LEMS is how I continue to serve, just in a different way.” His podcast episode dives deep into both the practical and emotional challenges of working cases involving the assaults on kids, and the vital role law enforcement plays in these investigations. His candid storytelling, combined with years of fieldwork, make it a must-listen for anyone interested in the reality behind the badge. You can listen to the full conversation now on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Websitem, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and be sure to follow the ongoing discussion across Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn. Assaults On Kids, Intervention and Investigations, His Experience. Bryan's story is more than just a recount of a cop's experience, it's a sobering reminder of the work that still needs to be done to protect the most vulnerable among us.

What do you do when a quiet deer hunt in Alabama turns into a face-to-face encounter with something massive… and not quite human? In this chilling episode, we talk with Mark “Plowboy” Green, a lifelong outdoorsman from the Foothills of Alabama, whose 2007 hunting trip near the Alabama River led to a moment that changed his life forever. From the swamps of Lowndes County to the eerie hills of “Creepy Mountain,” Mark recounts vivid sightings, inexplicable nighttime howls, and the moment he looked through his rifle scope and realized—he wasn't looking at a man.We explore secretive tracks, peanut butter gifts gone missing, and eerie encounters near Hollins Hunters Camp — where some say a man died from a heart attack, but others whisper about something much worse. This episode isn't just a retelling — it's an unraveling.You'll hear stories of glowing eyes in the woods, T-Rex-like roars, and the moment Mark realized the boogers might be visiting his own backyard. If you've ever wondered what's really moving out there in the southern woods — don't miss this one.Resources:Mark's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CedarCreekBottomsFarmsteadLifeWood Walkerz Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@woodwalkerzAlabama Bigfoot Website (no longer active but archived here): https://web.archive.org/web/20181202085405/http://www.alabamabigfoot.com/

Josh and David analyze the Trump administration's contentious decision to cancel a DOJ agreement addressing Lowndes County's severe sewage issues, linking it to the anti-DEI agenda and its harmful real-world consequences. They also scrutinize State Representative Corey Harbison's prolonged absence from the Legislature while still drawing a salary, sparking a debate on accountability and the problematic practice of voting by proxy.Then, immigration attorney Ruby Adams provides insight into the pervasive fear within immigrant communities, the challenges of navigating the legal system under the current administration, and the alarming implications of disregarding due process exemplified by cases like Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. She touches on the chilling effect on reporting crimes and accessing education due to this environment of fear.Finally, David offers a "hot take" connecting the past handling of Osama Bin Laden to present-day concerns about due process erosion. This leads into this week's Rightwing Nut of the Week, focusing on Republican politicians engaging in performative and dehumanizing photo opportunities at a notorious El Salvadorian prison, highlighting a disturbing lack of empathy.Connect with Us X/Twitter FacebookAbout Our SponsorAlabama Politics This Week is sponsored by Wind Creek Hospitality.

4.14.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: DOJ ends raw sewage settlement, Crockett rips GOP's dangerous health agenda, El Salvador Deportation In 2023, the Department of Justice identified a pattern of neglect by Alabama's Department of Public Health, which has contributed to a decades-old water and sewage crisis in the state's "Black Belt," specifically in Lowndes County. Now, the MAGA administration is terminating the settlement that was reached to address the county's water issues. I will speak with the Rural Development Manager of the Equal Justice Initiative about how this decision will continue to affect Black citizens in Alabama. The false narrative that noncitizens were voting led to the passage of the SAVE Act, which requires documentary proof of citizenship to register or update voter information. We will discuss with the Policy Council from the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law the implications of this law on voters. In tonight's Crockett Chronicles, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett calls out MAGA Republicans for turning public health into a partisan circus. And thousands turnout to honor one of the greatest boxers of all time, George Foreman. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.

Trey's Table Episode 284: Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) Environmental Racism & the Fight for Justice in Lowndes County The struggle for environmental justice is deeply tied to systemic racism—and nowhere is that more evident than in Lowndes County, Alabama, where Black families have battled raw sewage backups for decades. In Episode 284 of Trey's Table, we dive into how: ✅ The Biden administration acknowledged environmental racism as a real crisis—taking action to hold Alabama accountable. ✅ The Trump DOJ has terminated a critical agreement meant to address this injustice, denying the very existence of environmental racism. ✅ Activists and residents are fighting back, demanding dignity and basic sanitation rights. This isn't just about policy—it's about Black lives, public health, and whether our government will protect its most vulnerable communities.

Place and personal circumstance can play a decisive role in how one perceives the purpose and effectiveness of government. According to a 2021 study, in 2010 an estimated 37% of the U.S. population lived in an unincorporated area—places without municipal government and the services it might provide.     Central Alabama's Lowndes County, for instance, has a population of just under 10,000 people. Sixty-two percent of homes here are in unincorporated areas. A 2023 door-to-door survey led by the Center for Rural Enterprise and Environmental Justice found 90% of homes in the county dealing with poor or failing sanitation infrastructure.  Catherine Coleman Flowers grew up in Lowndes County. In Holy Ground: On Activism, Environmental Justice, and Finding Hope, she writes about her experience growing up in rural America without the amenities and public services many take for granted in a developed country. Catherine combines personal memoir with historical analysis to trace her ancestral community ties and her own journey from public school teacher and daughter of two civil rights activists to her role today as a highly respected leader of the environmental justice movement and recipient of a MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant.  Listen in as Ten Across founder Duke Reiter and Catherine Coleman Flowers discuss the pursuit of equitable sanitation infrastructure in the U.S., perspectives on democracy, and what causes the extremely divergent qualities of life found in the Ten Across geography.  Related articles and resources:   Holy Ground: On Activism, Environmental Justice, and Finding Hope (Catherine Coleman Flowers, 2025)  Waste: One Woman's Fight Against America's Dirty Secret (Catherine Coleman Flowers, 2020)  “Researchers fear grants for studies on health disparities may be cut in anti-DEI push” (NPR, March 2025)  “'Canary in a Coal Mine': Data Scientists Restore a Climate Justice Tool Taken Down by Trump” (Inside Climate News, Feb. 2025)  “A landmark investigation brings environmental justice to rural Alabama” (Grist, May 2023)  “Filthy Water: A Basic Sanitation Problem Persists in Rural America” (Yale Environment 360, Dec. 2020)  “Hookworm, a disease of extreme poverty, is thriving in the US south.

Sometimes it feels resilience, tenacity and determination are not only overused adjectives but indicative of the struggle that persists today.

Tonight's guest, Mark Green, hails from the southernmost point of the Appalachian Mountains in Central Alabama. Mark had a sighting in 2007 in Lowndes County, AL, which turned into a life of research and investigations into the Bigfoot phenomenon. Now, with eyes wide open to the subject, he slowly discovered that there was a group inhabiting his hunting lease called "Creepy Mountain." In 2022, Mark and his wife, Rebecca, started a YouTube channel (Cedar Creek Bottoms Farmstead). The channel is all about homesteading, farming, and discussing Bigfoot experiences in Alabama and across the United States.

For education purposes. Information is of a sensitive nature. Discretion is advised. The tragic stories of Mary Turner in 1918 and Ta'Kiya Young in 2023 are separated by over a century, yet they share haunting parallels that reflect the enduring issue of racial violence and injustice in the United States. Both women were African American, pregnant, and their lives were violently taken by acts of brutality, leaving a lasting impact on their communities and the nation's consciousness. Mary Turner (1918): Mary Turner was a young black woman who was lynched by a white mob in Lowndes County, Georgia, in May 19181. Her husband, Hayes Turner, had been lynched the day before, and Mary publicly vowed to seek justice for his murder. In response, the mob targeted Mary, who was eight months pregnant at the time. In a horrific act of violence, she was hung upside down by her ankles, set on fire, and then cut open, causing the death of her unborn child before she was shot and killed2. No one was ever convicted for her lynching, and her death became a rallying point for anti-lynching campaigns by the NAACP3. Ta'Kiya Young (2023): Nearly 105 years later, Ta'Kiya Young, a 21-year-old pregnant black woman, was shot and killed by a police officer in Blendon Township, Ohio, after she was accused of shoplifting and attempted to drive away from the scene4. The incident occurred on August 24, 2023, and resulted in the death of both Ta'Kiya and her unborn child. The shooting was captured on bodycam video and sparked outrage and calls for justice from the community and beyond5. Parallels: The parallels between these two cases lie in the systemic racism and the violence inflicted upon black bodies, particularly those of black women. Both Mary Turner and Ta'Kiya Young were expecting mothers whose lives were cut short in acts of extreme violence. Their deaths highlight the historical and ongoing struggle for racial equality and the protection of black lives in America. The fact that such events can occur over a century apart underscores the need for continued vigilance and action to address racial injustice and police brutality. These stories are a somber reminder of the work that remains to be done to ensure that all individuals, regardless of race, are treated with dignity and respect, and that their rights are protected by the law.

In the guest segment, State Rep.

Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries - Professor, researcher and writer - joins Tavis to elucidate on the significance of Lowndes County as the grassroots of Black power, and how the issues in Lowndes County reflect larger issues in America today such as systemic neglect of marginalized communities. He is known for his writings about the African American experience from a historical perspective. (Hour 2)

Early in 1966, the people of Lowndes County, Alabama formed an all-Black, independent political organization called the Lowndes County Freedom Organization (LCFO). Organized with the support of activists from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the LCFO fought the disenfranchisement of Black voters against the palpable threat of white violence. The LCFO was a crucial chapter in the early history of Black Power, providing not only the blueprint for Kwame Ture's theory of Black Power but also the black panther imagery that would inspire Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale to form the Black Panther Party for Self Defense in Oakland just a few months later. Former SNCC organizers Jennifer Lawson and Courtland Cox join The Marc Steiner Show to offer an oral history of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Lowndes County Freedom Organization.Jennifer Lawson joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1966 and was elected to its central coordinating committee. She designed the Black Panther symbol and campaign materials for the Lowndes Country Freedom Organization. Lawson continued her civil rights work for several more years before becoming an executive and producer in public television. She currently works with the SNCC Legacy Project to preserve the history of the movement and to encourage young activists to document their stories.Courtland Cox joined SNCC as a student at Howard University in 1960, and appeared as the representative of the organization's central committee at the 1963 March on Washington. He helped organize the 1964 Freedom Summer in Mississippi, and was also one of the organizers of the Lowndes County Freedom Organization.

Ep. 20 “Misleading” Ashes to Ash True Crime “The Kendrick Johnson Investigation” Ash really starts to delve into what may have happened to Kendrick Johnson in this investigative true crime series. Ash attempts to answer the question of what transpired at Lowndes County High School on January 10th, 2013 in Valdosta Georgia. Ash gets in touch with Ryan Anthony Domek Hernandez or as he calls himself on Facebook Mali. Domek Hernandez came out with a written statement in August of 2017 that implicated Brian Bell, Branden Bell, Ryan Hall, Rick Bell, and dozens of other individuals in the death of Kendrick Johnson. Does Domek Hernandez still stand by his statement?? Ash also continues to go through the information she received from the Freedom of Information Act that she filled out. She had received a CD ROM, thumb drive, and a hard drive from Lowndes County. She starts to figure out how to best process the information and showcase it to the public. The replica of the gym mat the KJ was discovered in, also arrives, after months of attempting to get an exact replica. She starts experimenting with the mat to find out if it is possible that Kendrick Johnson descended into the mat after his shoe has been discovered at the bottom.

Rep. Kabir Karriem, D-Columbus, talks with Mississippi Today's Bobby Harrison and Geoff Pender about the positive impact on the Golden Triangle and the state of the new Steel Dynamics aluminum mill coming to Lowndes County after a special session where legislators approved $246 million in incentives for the project. But Karriem added the Legislature needs to address other issues now, such as fixing Jackson water woes, improving health care in the state and restoring voting rights to people convicted of felonies.

This month, we feature an episode from a new podcast featuring Freedom Road's Lisa Sharon Harper: The FOUR. You can check out other episodes of The FOUR at thefour.black. Few have worked harder to cut and mend the ties between oppressor and oppressed than the one and only Ruby Nell Sales. The FOUR are honored to be joined by this iconic human rights activist, public theologian, and social critic. Ms. Sales' long fight for freedom began in the 1960s with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, SNCC, at Tuskegee University, as a student freedom fighter in Lowndes County, Alabama. And it nearly got her assassinated. Jonathan Daniels, a white freedom worker from Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, pulled Sales out of the line of fire. But Daniels was shot and killed. The assailant was acquitted by an all white jury. Ms. Sales witnesses profound strength in the American Black family, including her own. But for too many people of African descent, family stories were buried as a strategy to conquer us, and that toll remains to this day. It's something TheFour's Lisa Sharon Harper has taken on, documenting this nation's history through a richly researched 10 generations of her family story—Black, white and Native American—in her newest book, Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and the World and How to Repair It All. Like Harper's family story, Mama Ruby calls for repair through truth-telling, reparation and a measure of forgiveness to cut the ties that still bind.
