Larry Fleet Believes In Bigfoot, Ghosts & Claims To Have Seen A UFO With His Own Eyes: “Made My Hair Stand Up”

‘Tis the season for believing.

Larry Fleet joined the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast to talk new music, faith, sobriety, and to dive into some downright wild stories. He shared how he connects with fans around the world, and why he still writes drinking songs despite stepping away from alcohol. Larry also opened up about the role God plays in his music… and later told us all about his run-ins with aliens, ghosts and Bigfoot.

Okay… he actually hasn’t had an interaction with Bigfoot, but Fleet did confirm a couple of crazy encounters with ghosts and a possible UFO.

Larry Fleet lit up like a Christmas tree when we got a little off topic and started talking conspiracies. He actually brought up the question about aliens, and not too long after he did, the country singer revealed that he’s seen an unidentified flying object with his own eyes:

“I’ve seen a UFO. Now, this was back in my drinking days, but I was out with a friend and we were riding down this old back road and I thought it was a helicopter. It literally flew over, and it had kind of weird looking lights in this cow pasture out there.

It flies real low, and I said, ‘Pull over for a minute.’ When we did, it just sort of hovered, and it moved around like a helicopter, but then it just went *phew* and it took off super fast. It was gone. That was my time I saw a UFO. It literally made my hair stand up.”

He did concede that his sighting was back in his drinking days, but that story makes sense to me. Aliens are always hanging around cow pastures in sci-fi films, and that stereotype had to come from somewhere.

The alien talk really cracked open the conspiracy side of Larry Fleet. Following his UFO story (and saying he believes in aliens because of it), the “Where I Find God” singer busted out an eerie, unexplainable meeting with a shadowy, ghost figure.

It was just as creepy as his UFO story:

“I have seen ghosts too. We used to live in a house that was built in the 1920s back in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I walked in one night, and there was a street light behind me. When I came in, I looked and I saw this shadow in this door frame.

When I walked  in, I was like, ‘Is that my shadow?’ I moved back and forth, and the shadow didn’t move. Then all of the sudden, it just slipped back behind the door frame.”

Fleet says he turned on every light in his house, got his gun out of the safe, and checked every nook and cranny of the home… and never saw anything. That was the day he started believing in ghosts, and consequently got really into ghost hunting shows.

And hey, because we had already talked aliens and ghosts, we had to go for the “Triple Crown” and touch on Bigfoot. Though Larry Fleet hasn’t seen the elusive beast (yet), he thinks Bigfoot definitely exists, and believes that he resides out in the Redwood forests:

“I think he’s out there. I really do… I’ve seen those videos, and I know that some of them are a hoax or whatever. But I don’t know. There’s some pretty compelling stuff there.”

I need a Larry Fleet ghost hunting/alien hunting/Bigfoot hunting reality show like I need air to breathe.

There’s a good chance we have Larry Fleet back on sometime in the future and just talk conspiracy theories (he said he was down). But until then, you’ll have to make do with what he gave us at this end of this episode.
