A Southwest Oregon Man Shares His Terrifying Close-Range Sasquatch Encounter Mar 06, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Mark from southwest Oregon, whose life was permanently changed by a late-night encounter on a snowy mountain road near Grants Pass. What first appeared to be a small tree standing along a ridge revealed itself to be something towering, powerful, and far too close for comfort. That moment in the late 1980s set the course for decades of reflection, research, and unexpected encounters across some of the most active wilderness corridors in the Pacific Northwest.
Living near the Applegate and Rogue River regions, Mark shares how reports quietly surfaced over the years from hunters, firefighters, law enforcement, and everyday outdoorsmen who trusted him enough to speak. He recounts a recent investigation near Butte Falls involving thermal imaging, night vision, and his 165-pound wolf hybrid, where the forest seemed to move with intention and the night carried sounds that still defy explanation.
From repeated 3AM vocalizations near Wolf Creek and Glendale, to unsettling activity in the Diamond Lake region and Highway 138 corridor, Mark paints a vivid picture of southern Oregon as a place where something continues to operate just beyond the edges of certainty. He also reflects on the stranger elements reported by credible witnesses—anomalous lights, missing time, and phenomena that challenge simple classifications.
Mark’s grounded, thoughtful perspective brings weight to every detail. His story spans decades, terrain, and testimony, offering a rare look into ongoing activity in one of the most compelling regions for Sasquatch reports in the country.
Join us as we explore Mark’s experiences and the enduring mystery unfolding in the forests of southwest Oregon.

A Western Pennsylvania Energy Worker Shares Her Years of Sasquatch Encounters Mar 05, 2026

Show notes

Note: this episode involves audio post-processing and buffering video due to intermittent technical issues with our connection.
In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Rose from Western Pennsylvania, a lifelong woods-walker, artist, and energy worker who has spent years exploring the ridges, creek beds, and forest trails near her home. What began as an uneasy feeling in a familiar hiking area slowly unfolded into something much deeper.
Rose shares how a massive barefoot track in the snow first caught her attention, followed by unexplained whoops echoing through the trees and strange tree formations that didn’t sit right with her. As the months passed, activity intensified. Along a quiet creek during hunting season, she observed a pale face watching from the hillside. Moments later, a branch came flying in her direction. Weeks after that, heavy footsteps shook the ground behind her on a remote switchback trail.
Rose describes repeated vocal exchanges, including a spontaneous “whale song” call that received an immediate response from the forest. She recounts growls from the ridge line, loud wood impacts, objects moved in areas she frequented, and ongoing interactions that continued into 2025. With a deep respect for the land and a sensitivity to subtle changes in her environment, Rose reflects on how these experiences reshaped the way she understands the beings she believes share that territory.
Her story offers an intimate look at sustained, location-specific activity in Western Pennsylvania and explores the awareness, intelligence, and presence of these “people” in the woods.
Join us as we navigate Rose’s multi-year journey and the unfolding mystery of Sasquatch in Western Pennsylvania.

A Stevens County Man Shares 50 Years of Sasquatch Encounters in Washington Mar 04, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary lifetime experiences of Hillbilly from Stevens County, Washington, a lifelong outdoorsman who has spent more than five decades in the forests surrounding Hunter’s Pass, Waits Lake, and the Columbia River corridor. Growing up in eastern Washington and eventually purchasing land in the same region, Hillbilly shares how his encounters began in the early 1970s and continued steadily over the course of his life.
From a violent late-night impact on a camper near Hunter’s Pass to piercing screams in the mountains near Waitts Lake, Hillbilly recounts a series of events that shaped his understanding of what moves through these woods. After settling on his own property in Stevens County, the activity followed in the form of thunderous roars near a beaver dam, a 17-inch footprint discovered in spring mud, explosive tree knocks on a hunting ridge, and repeated rock throwing around his shop.
As the years passed, Hillbilly describes increasingly direct experiences, including towering eye shine at the edge of his driveway and a daylight sighting along the Columbia River of a fully hair-covered figure standing along a ridge line. He reflects on how these encounters affected his family, his perspective on the land, and his evolving view of the beings he believes travel ancient corridors through eastern Washington.
Join us as we navigate his decades of encounters in Stevens County and explore what may still be moving quietly through the mountains of eastern Washington.

Inside Area X, Oklahoma: What’s Happened in the Last 5 Years Mar 03, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, we explore the recent experiences of Rick, a board member of the North American Wood Ape Conservancy, who has spent the last five years conducting boots-on-the-ground research in a remote region of southeast Oklahoma known as Area X. Making repeated trips from Arizona into the rugged Ouachita Mountains, Rick shares what has unfolded during ongoing field operations in one of the most closely studied Bigfoot research areas in the country.
He describes active nights in camp marked by rocks landing at their feet, trees being pushed over shortly after arrival, and loud strikes against cabin walls in the early morning hours. Rick recounts a daylight sighting witnessed by a teammate of a reddish-brown upright figure moving through sunlight, as well as thermal imagery captured during a tense bluff charge near camp. He details the discovery of extensive trackways circling structures and skirting camp perimeters, small human-like footprints found in the dirt, gray figures moving through thick brush, and preserved hair samples awaiting future analysis.
Rick also discusses the introduction of an all-female field team designed to observe activity patterns from a different angle, along with reports of guttural “faux speech” vocalizations heard before dawn near the cabins. Drawing from five years of continued investigation, he offers insight into how the activity in Area X has evolved and what long-term research in a single location reveals about these elusive beings.
Join us as we step into the woods of southeast Oklahoma and examine what has been unfolding in Area X over the last five years.

A First Nations Man From Vancouver Island Shares Decades Of Encounters With Sasquatch Mar 02, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, we delve into the remarkable experiences of Tom Sewid, a First Nations man from Northern Vancouver Island who now lives in Forks, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula. Growing up immersed in Indigenous traditions where Sasquatch is understood as part of the land and culture, Thomas shares a lifetime of encounters that began in his youth and continued through decades spent guiding, fishing, and living deep in the bush.
From coastal shellfish beaches of Vancouver Island to remote river systems and logging country near Forks, Thomas recounts close-range sightings, thermal captures, gifting interactions, and moments that brought him face to face with these beings at startling distances. He also discusses the development of his upcoming Sasquatch museum, rare cast acquisitions, and the cultural regalia connected to his tribe’s highest-ranking crest.
Throughout the conversation, Thomas offers insight into territorial patterns, population estimates tied to salmon rivers, and the importance of respect when entering these environments. His perspective bridges lived wilderness experience with Indigenous knowledge passed down through generations.
Join us as we explore Thomas’s powerful journey across Vancouver Island and the Pacific Northwest, where Sasquatch is not a legend of the past, but an ongoing presence woven into the land itself.

South Carolina Hunter Shares His Scoped 1997 Sasquatch Sighting | Member's Only Episode A28 Feb 28, 2026

Show notes

In this special members preview episode, we explore powerful firsthand accounts from three individuals whose experiences stretch across Michigan, Kentucky, and South Carolina. Each witness shares deeply personal encounters that have stayed with them for decades, offering vivid glimpses into moments that changed how they view the woods forever.
From the forests near Atlanta in Montmorency County, Michigan, one man reflects on a 1986 mushroom hunting trip that turned into an unforgettable encounter near a quiet creek. What began as a peaceful afternoon quickly became something far more profound, leaving him and his family questioning what they had witnessed.
In Kentucky, a childhood turkey hunt along the Nolin River near Bear Creek became a moment that still stands crystal clear in memory. A presence only feet away. A sound that has never been forgotten. A split second that continues to echo years later.
And in South Carolina, a lifelong outdoorsman shares experiences that began on his family’s sprawling rural property in the 1970s and followed him into adulthood. A later hunting trip near Interstate 26 in Newberry County would deliver a sighting through a rifle scope that permanently altered his relationship with the outdoors.These accounts are thoughtful, detailed, and grounded in decades of lived experience. This preview only scratches the surface of what’s shared in the full episode.

Show notes

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of David, a Navy veteran and lifelong outdoorsman whose encounters span from the high elevations of Colorado to a secluded property in the foothills of the Catskills in upstate New York. During a late-summer backpacking trip near the Maroon Bells and Snowmass Lake, David describes coming face to face with towering glowing eyes in the darkness, followed by a night filled with deliberate wood knocks, strange vocalizations, and massive footprints pressed deep into mountain soil.
Years later, after purchasing a remote cabin surrounded by dense forest and protected land, the activity begins again.

As the months unfold, the experiences build in intensity, culminating in a moment that still echoes in David’s memory.
David shares his story with clarity and composure, offering detailed observations shaped by a lifetime spent outdoors. His account paints a compelling picture of activity across two very different regions of the country, raising questions about movement, territory, and long-term presence. Join us as we explore David’s gripping journey and the unsettling patterns that followed him from the Rockies to the mountains of New York.

From Alaska to Ape Island: Bigfoot Investigations with Aleks Petakov Feb 24, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, we sit down with Aleks Petakov of Small Town Monsters to explore years of boots-on-the-ground Bigfoot investigations stretching from the remote coastline of Alaska to the dense forests of Kentucky and beyond. Aleks shares what it is really like to spend extended time in isolated wilderness where help is miles away and unusual activity unfolds long after midnight.
On Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, Aleks recounts late-night wood knocks cutting through the rainforest, rocks striking shoreline waters in the early morning hours, and heavy stomping sounds moving near camp. He describes the discovery of a primate-like handprint on a remote cabin, large impressions pressed deep into moss, and a strange rock-scraping sound heard from across a creek that has never been fully explained.
The conversation moves to a cold November night in Kentucky, where a distinct wood knock was followed by a large thermal heat signature on a hillside that disappeared within minutes. Aleks reflects on the challenge of documenting fleeting moments like these, the weight of credible eyewitness testimony, and what long-term fieldwork teaches you about patience, risk, and uncertainty.
We also discuss his upcoming Journey to Ape Island project on Vancouver Island, an area layered with Indigenous history, generations of Sasquatch lore, and some of the most rugged terrain in North America.
Join us for a grounded, field-driven conversation that brings you into the reality of modern Bigfoot investigation and leaves you thinking long after the episode ends.
