Sasquatch Odyssey

In this episode, Brian welcomes Todd, an Ohio native now living in Florida, to share how a series of unsettling experiences at Bird Rookery Swamp in October 2020 pulled him into the world of Bigfoot and Skunk Ape research. What began with the discovery of a large, deep footprint pressed into fresh cypress needles quickly turned into something harder to dismiss.Todd describes repeated encounters with a powerful skunky, almost death-like odor, brush and small trees moving toward the trail, and the unmistakable sound of loud, bipedal splashing as something unseen retreated through the swamp.As his curiosity grew, Todd began documenting what he found and connecting with others who had reported similar odors, sightings, and strange activity in the same area. He later formed the Explorers Network as a way to share swamp conditions, field notes, and ongoing observations. His search has since taken him to the Florida Trail, Loop Road, and other remote areas, where he has found additional large footprints, unusual tree structures, and what appeared to be a stick-triggered trap.Todd also discusses his experimental use of sound in the field, including an artificial “howl and groan” Bigfoot call that he says consistently causes alligators to react and retreat. His current work includes long-term, fixed-location trail camera research at Myakka River State Park, where he is tracking wildlife patterns over the course of a full year. Along the way, he has noted a sharp decline in visible wildlife, unexplained roaring sounds, booming footfalls, and the use of nearby geocache logs to help gauge human and animal activity in the area.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back with more amazing encounters, and this time he brings us deep into the wild, unforgiving landscape of Alaska. Be sure to check out his channel using the link below.In this episode, Fred shares Ralph’s chilling early-1980s encounter on the Willow side of Hatcher Pass, where what began as a routine trip to set up a travel trailer on soft breakup ground quickly turned into something far more terrifying. Ralph first believed he had spotted a bear near the treeline, but the massive figure he saw soon revealed itself to be something far more humanlike, standing an estimated nine-and-a-half to ten feet tall.Over the following days and nights, the activity around the trailer intensified with guttural growls, strange clicking sounds, older tracks, and what appeared to be a worn path leading dangerously close to the trailer window.The encounter escalated when the trailer was violently tipped onto its side during a night of terrifying growls.Ralph fired at the figure in the darkness and later discovered broken windows that had to be patched. On another night, he woke to see a large hand reaching through one of those broken windows, fired again, and then heard heavy movement across the roof.After finding stacked lumber shoved deep into the ground, Ralph finally left the property and never returned. His brother would later abandon the land as well after experiencing similar unexplained events.Fred also shares a haunting 1990s report from near the Kvichak River, where a wolf’s howl was followed by the appearance of twenty to thirty wolves and a strange “Jeremiah Johnson”-looking figure. Local elders warned people not to go out alone and spoke of “hairy men” connected to wolves, adding another eerie layer to Alaska’s long history of wild, remote, and unsettling Sasquatch encounters.Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube ChannelEmail BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel is back with two more amazing encounter stories. Be sure to check out Fred’s channel using the link below to see all his videos.In this episode, Fred shares two chilling accounts from the wilds of Alaska involving what many Native communities have long referred to as the “hairy man.”The first story follows Rodolfo, a Filipino immigrant who joins an Alaska Native friend on a moose hunt near Grayling Creek off the Yukon River. What begins as a routine hunting trip quickly turns unsettling when the men hear strange whistling in the dark, spot a massive shadowy figure, and witness Rodolfo’s friend panic after shining a spotlight on what appears to be an angry, towering creature. As the encounter escalates, gunshots are fired when the figure comes within ten feet of them.Later, Rodolfo sees the creature from a distance, only for the terror to continue that night near their landing area, where he reports eyeshine, a nearly ten-foot-tall figure baring its teeth, brushing dirt from itself, and letting out a terrifying scream before the men arrange an early pickup by radio.The second account centers on Alvin and Myrna, an Athabascan couple hiking Devil’s Creek Trail in February 2020 with their nine-month-old Tibetan Mastiff. During the hike, something begins mimicking Myrna’s voice in an apparent attempt to lure the dog away. Moments later, the animal is snatched, leaving the couple shaken and desperate for answers.Alvin later catches sight of the creature and hears a scream echo through the valley, turning a peaceful outing into a nightmare they would never forget.These stories serve as a powerful reminder of how vast, remote, and mysterious Alaska’s wilderness truly is.

In this episode, Brian sits down with David Bakara, owner of the Expedition Bigfoot Museum in Blue Ridge, Georgia, for a wide-ranging conversation about Bigfoot research, witness testimony, and the strange territory where cryptid investigation meets the unexplained. David shares how his interest in the subject began with Florida Skunk Ape reports and eventually led him into the field, including his work with the BFRO after a birthday expedition that changed the direction of his life.David reflects on early experiences that shaped his curiosity, including a childhood incident in Michigan involving something violently pounding on his family’s home. He also recounts a compelling Florida investigation where he, his wife, and a witness observed two mysterious figures on thermal imaging, adding another layer to the ongoing question of what people are encountering in the woods. The conversation explores why so many witnesses remain silent for years, often waiting until they find someone they trust enough to hear their story without ridicule. From there, David and Brian move into some of the more unusual reports connected to Bigfoot and other cryptid encounters, including claims of sudden freezing sensations, glowing eyes, spider-like movement, disappearances, mind speak, and even shape-shifting accounts. David also discusses several Dogman reports, including a daylight vehicle collision and another account involving a creature running alongside a car, raising larger questions about whether these encounters point to something beyond the physical world we understand.Brian and David also dive into the ongoing Patterson-Gimlin film debate, with David explaining why he still leans toward the film’s authenticity while questioning whether recent controversy may be driven as much by documentary politics as by evidence.The episode closes with David sharing more about the Expedition Bigfoot Museum, its mission to preserve witness accounts and research history, and why it remains a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Sasquatch, Dogman, and the mysteries of the unseen world.Expedition Bigfoot MuseumEmail BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Brian came home from the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Festival with something sitting on his chest, and this letter is what came out of it. It is an honest, sometimes uncomfortable piece of thinking about what is happening in the Sasquatch field right now, and where it could end up if we do not pay attention. The piece opens with the people. The young woman from Ohio who waited until the end of the day to tell him about something she heard on her grandparents' farm when she was thirteen. The man from southeastern Ohio with an audio file on his phone, hoping somebody would tell him it was real. The woman from eastern Kentucky with her folder of photographs and her arrangement of stones. The man who explained, with complete sincerity, that Sasquatch can open interdimensional portals.The woman who believes they live inside trees. The young man with the dogman map in his head. These are not strange people. They are kind, ordinary, often quite intelligent. And what they believe has been shaped, in ways most of them do not see, by an environment that rewards the spectacular and punishes the careful.From there, Brian works through why we believe what we believe. He talks about the pattern-recognition machinery in the human brain and what happens when you drop that machinery into a world of trail cameras and YouTube algorithms.He talks about the human need for meaning, and the quiet pull toward the more meaningful explanation when the simpler one is sitting right in front of us. He talks about the role of community, and what it costs a person to question a belief that has become part of how they belong. And he talks, plainly, about the money in this field, and the incentive structure that rewards extraordinary claims without rewarding extraordinary evidence.He looks at what happened to UFO research in the nineteen seventies as a warning. A real question, taken seriously by serious people, that collapsed under the weight of louder voices and wilder claims, and spent forty years on the margins before the door cracked open again. He does not want that to happen here. He does not think it has to.The letter gets sharp on two subjects. The first is the Missing four-one-one narrative, and what it means to imply, without evidence, that an unconfirmed creature is responsible for the disappearance of real people from real families. The second is the Patterson-Gimlin Film and the controversy that has erupted around it this past year.Brian holds his position. He has not seen the documentary. He will not render judgment until he has. But he has plenty to say about what the controversy itself has revealed about the community. Drawing on his sixteen years in law enforcement, Brian spends time on what witnesses are and what they are not, and why taking a witness seriously means doing more than just believing them. He is honest about how his own thinking has changed over nearly forty years in this field, including the things he used to believe and has since had to set down. And he lands, finally, on the choice every one of us makes every time we sit down with a piece of evidence or a story or a podcast. Are we going to reward extraordinary claims with extraordinary belief, or are we going to reward them with extraordinary scrutiny. This one is long, and it is personal, and it is going to make some people in the community uncomfortable.Brian's okay with that. He thinks the field is worth more than the place it is drifting toward, and he thinks the only way to get there is to start telling the truth about where we actually are.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Five emails. Five people who carry a badge or a fire helmet for a living. Five encounters with something the textbooks say doesn't exist.Tonight's episode is built entirely from listener submissions sent in by first responders — a patrol officer working a welfare check in the northern Wisconsin woods, a hotshot firefighter on a holding line in the Klamath country of northern California, a deputy sheriff on a search and rescue call in an eastern Kentucky holler, a small-town chief of police investigating a livestock kill in south Mississippi, and a corrections officer in central Pennsylvania who has seen the same thing — and eventually a family of them — crossing his road on the way to work.These are the people trained to stay calm when other people fall apart.These are the stories they couldn't square with the rest of what they thought they knew.

Natalie Spearman joins Brian to share the strange path that led her from Florida to the forests of the UK, the wilds of West Virginia, and some of the most active paranormal and cryptid locations in the country. She talks about the experiences that first sparked her interest in Bigfoot, including an Ocala National Forest report, her time at major Bigfoot conferences, and a terrifying solo campout in the Everglades that turned out to have a very real explanation.The conversation then moves into Natalie’s work with Adam Davis and Relic Films, including intense investigations at Land Between the Lakes, the Emmaus Asylum in Missouri, the Smoky Mountains, and other high-strangeness locations. Natalie describes unsettling activity involving lights, orbs, possible crawler-like entities, equipment failures, physical effects, base-camp encounters, and a massive Bigfoot sighting that left a lasting impression.Brian and Natalie also discuss the upcoming Relic Films project The Vanished, where viewers can stream it, and where fans can follow Natalie’s work and catch future festival appearances.Relic Films YouTube Channel Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Tonight's episode comes from a longtime listener who finally sat down at his kitchen table at two in the morning and put forty-four years of silence into words. He asked us to call him Jacob. In the summer of 1982, when he was twelve years old, he and three of his closest friends hiked into a stretch of north Georgia national forest with packs on their backs and a single .22 rifle between them. It was their first campout without adults.They were supposed to stay a week. They came home after three days, and they have never once sat down together and talked about why. What happened to those four boys over those three nights is the kind of thing that rearranges a person from the inside out. Wood knocks on the ridge. A voice in the trees that knew one of their names. A figure stepping out from behind a poplar twenty yards from the fire. And in the deepest hours of the third night, something heavy and patient running its hand across the top of their tent while all four of them sat inside in the dark, holding their breath.Jacob's letter is long, and it's careful, and it's one of the more honest accounts we've ever been sent. We're reading it tonight in his words, the way he wrote it, the way he's carried it.

Jeremy spent two tours in Iraq and came home carrying things he couldn't name. In October 2006, he went alone into the deep backcountry of the Washington Cascades for a week-long solo elk hunt, hoping the wilderness would do what it had always done for him. It didn't.Something else was in that drainage, and it had been aware of him long before he was aware of it.This is one of the most carefully told accounts we've received at Backwoods Bigfoot Stories. Jeremy is a veteran, a lifelong hunter, and a man who spent nearly twenty years deciding whether to say any of this out loud. He describes strange resonant knocking that didn't always sound like it came from a surface. Depressions in soft ground that stopped him cold.A food hang disturbed in a way that didn't match any bear behavior he'd ever seen. And then, on the fifth night, three of them surrounding his camp in the dark, with eyes that weren't reflecting light so much as generating it. One of them stepped out into the clearing and let him see it. That was enough.He broke camp before first light and walked ten miles out in the dark.He's never told his wife. He's never told anyone. The experience lives in the same interior room as the things he brought back from the war, and he's kept that room closed for a long time. He opened it here.I f something has been sitting with you, you know where to reach us. brian@paranormalworldproductions.comEmail BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

In this episode, Brian sits down with Ian from the UK to explore a lifetime shaped by the unexplained. What begins as a childhood fascination with the paranormal quickly deepens into something far more unsettling, as Ian recounts a series of eerie early experiences involving shadow figures, a mysteriously moving clown doll, and recurring sightings of a crouched white entity that seemed to follow him across different stages of his life.One particularly chilling encounter unfolds during an investigation in Germany, reinforcing his belief that these phenomena are anything but imagined.As the conversation shifts, Ian shares the moment that pulled him firmly into Sasquatch research. During a nighttime investigation near Dartmoor at the abandoned Leira Tunnel, he and his colleague John experienced something that defied easy explanation. Strange, camera-like flashes pierced the darkness before they spotted a massive, neckless, hair-covered figure roughly 30 to 40 yards away.When illuminated, the creature seemed to vanish, only to reappear closer moments later. The encounter escalated as the figure abruptly changed direction and disappeared into the surrounding terrain, accompanied by the unmistakable sounds of heavy footfalls and branches snapping under its weight.Ian also reflects on the unique challenges of researching cryptids in the UK, where skepticism often overshadows open discussion.He explores the possibility of hidden habitats, including cave systems and abandoned mineshafts, and discusses patterns reported by witnesses such as rock-throwing, unusual tree structures, and fleeting sightings that mirror accounts from around the world. As his research group evolves to include a broader focus on cryptid investigations, Ian emphasizes the importance of curiosity and open-mindedness when confronting the unknown.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Fred from the Sub Arctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel returns to share two chilling accounts of Alaska’s mysterious “Harry Man.” For more incredible stories from Fred, be sure to check out his channel using the link in the show notes.In the first account, Daniel from the Bristol Bay region recalls a terrifying experience from roughly 40 years ago while helping his father build a log cabin on a Native allotment.What began with small but unsettling disturbances, including missing items and eerie screams in the surrounding wilderness, quickly escalated into something far more frightening. One night, violent knocking shook the cabin, triggering an overwhelming sense of dread. When they stepped outside, they came face to face with a massive, muscular figure covered in reddish-brown hair, standing well over 10 feet tall. At the same time, it seemed another presence had entered the cabin itself, breaking through the door.Fearing for their lives, Daniel and his father fled to their skiff as strange chirping, clicking, and popping sounds echoed around them. When they later returned, they found the cabin badly damaged, and years afterward, only the lower portion remained salvageable.Fred also shares reports from Mark Frank, whose own sightings add another unsettling layer to the mystery.In February 2019, near an oil well and seismic trail, Mark encountered a large hairy figure that appeared to transform into a moose with a distorted face before vanishing from sight. Then, in May near Valdez, he witnessed multiple figures positioned on a mountainside, seemingly watching over a female and two juveniles as they moved across the slope.Sub Arctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

In this episode, Brian shares a detailed "Open Letter" from Bill Munns, one of the foremost analysts of the Patterson-Gimlin Film, responding to the controversy surrounding the new documentary "Capturing Bigfoot." Bill was interviewed on the show weeks ago about his role in the documentary, where he physically inspected the newly discovered forty-second film clip that many are calling a dress rehearsal for the PGF.Eric Palacios from the Hairy Man Road YouTube channel was also interviewed after seeing the documentary at the South by Southwest film festival in March 2026. The two men saw the same clip and came away with fundamentally different conclusions. Bill says it's a replica filmed after the PGF. Eric says he saw Patty. In his email, Bill lays out a thorough case for why the documentary fails to meet scientific or evidentiary standards, challenges the dating of the new footage, and argues the replica hypothesis is far more logical than the rehearsal narrative the filmmakers are pushing.After reading the email in full, Brian offers his own take on how two credible people can see the same evidence and reach opposite conclusions, addresses the role that vested interests play in shaping interpretation, and makes the case that the real question isn't when the clip was filmed but what it actually shows.Brian also shares a conversation with his Bigfoot Inquiry Podcast co-host Dr. Hogan Sherrow that reshaped how he thinks about the difference between seeking truth and seeking facts.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

In this epiosde Brian sits down with Corina from British Columbia who is hear to share how a growing fascination with Sasquatch was shaped by three unsettling hunting experiences near Prince George. What began as curiosity became far more personal after a series of encounters in remote country left her questioning what might be moving through those woods alongside them.During an elk hunt in September 2024, Corina  heard an incredibly loud bark and then caught sight of something she still struggles to explain. About 130 yards away, she saw a black, hooded, humanlike figure that appeared to lower itself smoothly out of view. Levi never saw it, but the image stayed with her and became the first moment that pushed the mystery from possibility into something much more real. A year later, in September 2025 on the KO Road, the experiences became even more intense. Corina and Levi heard wood knocks from behind them, followed by three knocks ahead, as if something was deliberately responding or repositioning. They also heard repetitive rhythmic barks, strange movement sounds without any visible tree movement, and a roar so powerful it triggered immediate fear. Corina describes a deeply personal moment from that outing when she alone perceived swishy, speech-like sounds and formed a vivid mental impression of a Sasquatch yelling a word, opening a thought-provoking conversation about whether such moments are best understood as mind speak, intuition, or something else entirely.The encounters did not stop there. In November 2025, Corina and Levi returned to the area and heard more wood knocks along with what sounded like heavy bipedal footsteps approaching the treeline. Although they tried to capture the moment on video, the evidence did not come through, leaving them with another powerful experience but no clear proof to show for it.Throughout the conversation, Brian and Corina talk about the reality of moving through wilderness where fear of grizzlies is already ever-present, and how those risks shape the way they respond to unexplained activity. They also explore the bigger questions that come with possible Sasquatch encounters, including whether scientific discovery would protect these beings or put them in greater danger.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

This episode also offers a first look at an exciting new chapter that will be launching in the coming months. The Bigfoot Inquiry, formerly That Bigfoot Podcast, marks a new evolution in the conversation, with Brian now joined by Dr. Hogan Sherrow after Wayne moved on to new things. This discussion had been sitting in the archives for almost a year, and it felt like the perfect time to dust it off and share it here as a sneak peek at what is ahead for the new show.In this conversation, Brian and  Hogan examine a strange 911 call and encounter from 2021 out of North Carolina. While this is not a Bigfoot encounter, many of the same questions still apply. They dig into eyewitness credibility, trauma, memory, perception, and the difficulty of making sense of a bizarre event in real time.What begins as a report of an injured man on the side of the road quickly turns into something much stranger, leading to a fascinating discussion about how unusual experiences are interpreted, remembered, and retold. If you enjoy thoughtful analysis of the unexplained, this episode is a solid preview of what The Bigfoot Inquiry will bring.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

The American frontier was full of things that settlers and soldiers couldn't explain, and among the strangest were the Wild Man accounts that began appearing in newspapers decades before anyone coined the term Bigfoot.In this episode, we dig deep into the historical record and examine encounter reports from the eighteen forties through the eighteen sixties, beginning with the eighteen sixty-five Paraclifta, Arkansas account published in the Weekly Standard of Raleigh, North Carolina, and working backward to the eighteen fifty-one Greene County cattle chase first reported by the Memphis Enquirer, the eighteen forty-six Crowley's Ridge footprint discovery published in the Baltimore Sun, and the violent eighteen fifty-six pursuit and attack near the Ouachita Mountains. We examine Civil War-era accounts including the Bridgeport, Alabama wild man captured by Captain George Anderson's men near General Braxton Bragg's encampment and later identified as a traumatized Unionist named Bill Patton who'd suffered a saber wound to the head, the disputed Harper's Ferry letter attributed to Private James Moore of the Sixty-Seventh Pennsylvania Infantry, and the poorly sourced Brice's Cross Roads story involving an unnamed Confederate cavalryman allegedly nursed by a group of Sasquatch.Along the way, we confront the harder question that underlies all of this material: were these people encountering an undocumented primate, feral humans broken by war and injury, traumatized recluses who'd abandoned civilization, or were they transforming the fear and chaos of frontier and wartime life into folklore? The honest answer may be some combination of all four, and the willingness to sit with that uncertainty is what separates genuine research from belief.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Brian welcomes Seth from Connecticut for a fascinating conversation that weaves together classic Bigfoot lore, unsettling personal accounts, and the ongoing debate over what people are really encountering in the woods. Seth shares how his fascination with Sasquatch began at just 10 or 11 years old after reading about Albert Ostman’s alleged 1924 kidnapping. He explains why that story has always stood out to him, pointing to the consistency of Ostman’s retelling and the vivid level of detail that continues to make the account feel believable decades later. As the conversation unfolds, Brian and Seth draw comparisons between Ostman’s story and the infamous Ape Canyon encounter, exploring why some cases endure in the culture while others fade.They also talk about the hesitation many witnesses feel when it comes to sharing strange experiences, especially when those experiences challenge what most people are willing to accept.Seth then recounts a chilling story from his father’s time coon hunting in central Texas in the early 1980s.After his father shot a turkey, the night was shattered by a terrifying roar Seth describes as sounding like the MGM lion. The reaction was immediate. The dogs pressed tightly against them, the atmosphere changed, and both his father and his hunting partner had the overwhelming sense that something was moving around them as they made their way back to the truck.Looking back, his father now believes the encounter may have involved Sasquatch.The episode takes an even stranger turn when Seth shares another unexplained experience from the early 1990s involving a silent, basketball-sized red orb seen roughly 100 yards away.From there, the discussion expands into the larger questions that continue to divide the Bigfoot world, including whether Sasquatch is simply an undiscovered flesh-and-blood species or something that crosses into more mysterious territory. Brian and Seth also examine the risks that would come with definitive discovery, the skepticism surrounding extraordinary claims, and the possibility that many encounters may be less about aggression and more about warning people to leave a particular area.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Jerry from Rebel’s Dark Tales of Appalachia YouTube channel, as well as Chris from Sasquatch Recon, are here to share some amazing stories from not only the South Mountains here in North Carolina, but also from South Carolina.In this episode, we dive into a series of strange and unexplained encounters that stretch across generations and landscapes, from the rugged woods of the South Mountains to the dark swamps of South Carolina.Jerry opens the conversation with chilling accounts rooted in local history, focusing on stories passed down by old-timers that challenge the often-repeated belief that Sasquatch activity in the area only began gaining attention in the late 1970s. One of the most gripping stories comes from Jerry’s late friend Smitty, who recalled a terrifying 1971 squirrel hunting trip in Cleveland County after returning home from Vietnam.What began as a routine day in the woods with his uncle turned into something far more unsettling when they spotted a massive, hair-covered creature and later found themselves confronted and chased out by an aggressive seven-foot “hairy booger” that screamed, bared its teeth, and made it clear they were no longer welcome there.Jerry also shares several more recent encounters that suggest whatever has been seen in those mountains may still be there. He recounts a 2018 experience involving Uncle Jeff and his nephew Jake, who heard heavy bipedal footsteps in the dark, followed by guttural vocalizations, violent tree shaking, and a brief but disturbing glimpse of a hairy chest and mouth.He then describes a 2022 roadside sighting reported by an elderly couple who claimed to see a creature with glowing red eyes, along with a string of rock-throwing incidents involving a deer hunter, night hikers, a Jeep, and a pair of creek walkers named Ray and Vera. These encounters are paired with eerie whoops, growling howls, and the kind of escalating behavior that leaves little doubt something unusual was happening in those woods.Chris then shifts the conversation into the swamps of South Carolina, where an expedition took a frightening turn after his wood knocks and yells were answered by an unbelievably loud scream from deep in the distance. The sheer power of the sound, combined with the isolation of the swamp, was enough to make the group retreat. It is a tense and atmospheric ending to an episode packed with terrifying firsthand stories, regional lore, and the kind of encounters that continue to fuel the mystery of what may still be hiding in the forests of the South.Rebel's Dark Tales YouTubeSasquatch Recon YouTube Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

The documentary aired on a Tuesday night in October, and nothing was ever the same. Within hours it was trending worldwide. Scientists came forward. Former government employees reached out. And across the country, people started paying closer attention to the forests around them.This episode brings the first volume of Born Wild to a close — but not before we hear from some of the most compelling voices in the archives. Russell Crawford, a Tennessee hunter with over fifty years in the Cherokee National Forest, describes the morning he had a clear shot at something massive and chose not to take it. Not because he couldn't — but because pulling that trigger would have felt like murder.Margaret White spent thirty years teaching biology in rural Washington and debunking every Sasquatch story her students brought to class. Then she came face to face with one on a trail in Olympic National Park, and every rational explanation she ever had turned to dust.James Whitehorse carried his story for fifty-four years. He was eight years old, herding sheep near the Chuska Mountains on the Navajo reservation, when a towering figure stepped out of the junipers and raised its hand in greeting. His grandfather told him the white world would never understand. James kept quiet — until now. Maria Santos worked the graveyard shift at a gas station on the edge of the Gila Wilderness. One night at two in the morning, something eight feet tall walked up to the pumps and started examining them like a curious child discovering something new.Thomas Erikson came from four generations of Oregon loggers. They called them the Wood Apes, and every logger in the Pacific Northwest knew about them. Thomas shares three encounters spanning decades — including the day one of them spoke to him and pointed at the trees, at him, and at itself. Like it was saying they were all part of the same thing. Thomas passed away six months after this interview.We hear from Eddie McGraw, a long-haul trucker who watched a creature stroll across a Montana rest area at two in the morning like it owned the place. From David Baker, a National Geographic photographer who captured three frames of the clearest Sasquatch image ever taken — then locked them in a safe for fifteen years. From Patricia Morgan, a Yellowstone ranger who reveals a secret file of sightings passed down from ranger to ranger since the 1950s. And from Dr. Michael Brooks, a primatologist who spent fifteen years hiding evidence that would have validated everything. Then comes the revelation no one expected. Brian's own mother, Jean Patterson, finally shares a secret she kept for decades — she saw one of the creatures on the Lyerly property a full year before Brian ever did. She stayed silent to protect him. To give him the choice to walk away.He couldn't walk away. He never could. The episode closes on the eve of the final expedition. The witnesses gather at the mountain house. The sun sets over the Appalachians. And deep in the forest, the creatures begin to sing.Tomorrow, everything changes.This is the end of Book One. The odyssey continues.Get Brian's BooksBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

In this explosive episode, Brian sits down with Eric Palacios of the Hairy Man Road YouTube channel to talk about his Bigfoot research, his documentary work, and the firestorm surrounding the new SXSW documentary Capturing Bigfoot. Eric shares the story behind his Texas Hairy Man Road investigations, his independent documentaries, and the FOIA requests that uncovered 911 calls, photos, and even wildlife-agency records referencing cryptids in places like Louisiana and Arizona.He also breaks down his experience attending the SXSW screening in Austin, meeting director Mark Evansand Clint Patterson, and later taking part in a Q&A tied to the film.The conversation dives deep into the controversy over the Patterson–Gimlin film, including the documentary’s emotional focus on Clint Patterson and Patricia Patterson’s claims that the PGF was a hoax. Eric also discusses the newly surfaced 40-second 1966 Kodachrome clip connected to a Boeing engineer’s family, which he says appears to show the very same “Patty” suit seen in the Patterson–Gimlin film, along with side-by-side comparisons presented in the documentary.We also get into the backlash that followed, including online attacks, threats, and doxxing, as this debate continues to divide the Bigfoot community.

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back with two more stories from deep in the Alaskan bush. Be sure to click the link in the show notes and head over to Fred’s channel to subscribe.In this episode,Fred shares two unsettling accounts of “Hairy Man” encounters reported from remote parts of Alaska. First, we hear from Nathaniel and Theresa, a married couple in their seventies who spent years homesteading in the Alaskan wilderness. What began as strange disturbances around their property gradually turned into something far more disturbing.They experienced missing items, uprooted tree stumps, and terrifying screams in the early morning hours before a Native man finally gave them a name for what he believed was responsible: the “Hairy Man.” Theresa later saw a tall, humanlike figure with no visible neck near their chicken coop. After shots were fired, half of their chickens were found dead.Months later, Nathaniel encountered a brownish-gray figure moving near their burn pit. Not long after, something struck their cabin, revealed itself at close range, and was shot at. In the days that followed, the couple heard distant howls and eerie call-and-response screams echoing through the area. A neighbor eventually fired shots to run it off, and the activity stopped for years.Fred then shares Jacob’s story from a coastal village in Alaska. While out snowmachining with his cousin to gather firewood, the two men spotted what Jacob estimated to be a ten-foot-tall figure. They heard a powerful whoop, then later found themselves in a tense exchange of gunfire after the creature appeared to lift a log. When they returned, they discovered the cousin’s snowmachine had been destroyed and dragged into the trees.Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTubeEmail BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

What if the biggest hoax in the Bigfoot world isn’t the Patterson-Gimlin Film… but the tribalism surrounding it? In this episode, Brian takes a hard look at the fallout surrounding Capturing Bigfoot, the claims of new footage connected to the Patterson-Gimlin Film, and the deeper problem tearing the Sasquatch community apart: blind loyalty, faction-driven thinking, and the growing inability to examine evidence without picking a side.This is not just a conversation about Roger Patterson, Bob Gimlin, Bluff Creek, or whether the PGF is authentic. It’s a deeper examination of how tribalism, identity, narrative, and online culture have reshaped Bigfoot research itself. From the Scopes Monkey Trial to modern social media pile-ons, this episode explores how people stop following evidence and start defending teams.If you care about Bigfoot research, Sasquatch evidence, the Patterson-Gimlin Film, Capturing Bigfoot, documentary analysis, cryptozoology, skepticism, debunking, belief, and the search for truth, this episode is for you.In this episode:The real issue behind the Capturing Bigfoot controversyWhy the Patterson-Gimlin Film became symbolic instead of investigatoryHow tribalism damages Sasquatch researchThe psychology behind belief, identity, and the backfire effectWhy evidence must be tested, not protectedHow the Bigfoot community risks becoming its own worst enemyWhat honest inquiry actually looks like in cryptid researchThis is a conversation about Bigfoot, yes — but it’s also about human nature, media manipulation, group identity, and what happens when curiosity gets replaced by allegiance.If you’ve been frustrated by the Bigfoot community, Bigfoot documentaries, Patterson-Gimlin Film debates, or the culture wars inside Sasquatch research, this episode will hit home.Follow, support, and explore more:Linktree: https://linktr.ee/ParanormalWorldProductionsEmail BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our Website Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

In this episode, Brian shares an email from a military veteran who served multiple combat tours in Afghanistan and wants the world to hear a story that's been buried for three decades. Matt, as he asks to be called, writes in about a confession made to him by a fellow soldier he calls Joe during a night of drinking while the two were stateside between deployments. Joe revealed that in the mid nineteen nineties, long before the war on terror, he was part of a small specialized team dispatched into an unnamed national park after two hikers went missing.The male hiker's body was found twenty five feet up in a tree with his neck broken. The female hiker was never found. What search teams did find were massive humanoid footprints ranging from sixteen inches to nearly twenty three inches long pressed deep into the soil along a remote creek drainage. Joe's team was briefed by an unnamed civilian and given a single objective: locate and eliminate the creatures responsible.What followed was a harrowing two day hunt through old growth forest that culminated in the killing of four creatures, including a female, a juvenile estimated at around five feet tall, and a massive adult male standing over eight feet tall that charged the team and injured two soldiers before being brought down. Within hours of the kills, an unmarked black helicopter arrived carrying a civilian recovery team that bagged the bodies and flew them out to an unknown location. The soldiers were debriefed, told the mission never happened, and ordered to never speak of it again. Matt believes every word Joe told him that night, and he wants you to hear it.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

In this episode, Brian welcomes Melissa from Georgia to the show for a conversation that blends travel memories, Bigfoot research, and some of the strangest encounters she has ever experienced. They kick things off by reflecting on their recent trip to England for the red carpet premiere of My Bigfoot Life, sharing thoughts on the beauty of the UK countryside, the enchanting forests of Somerset, and how surprisingly similar the landscape felt to both Appalachia and the Pacific Northwest.Melissa then dives into her lifelong fascination with Bigfoot, tracing it back to childhood memories with her father, old television specials, and early expeditions with the BFRO. What began as a fun curiosity eventually became something much deeper after a powerful nighttime encounter in West Virginia convinced her that something real was out there. From that point on, her journey expanded into investigations, expeditions across the country, media projects, and her well-known presence in the Bigfoot community.The heart of the episode centers on Melissa’s most compelling personal experiences, including a little-known encounter in North Georgia involving a mysterious moving light she now believes may have been an orb, and a series of intense, unsettling events during filming at Land Between the Lakes. She shares stories of strange sounds, overwhelming physical sensations, possible telepathic impressions, shadowy entities, missing camera footage, and a terrifying moment involving what she and others believe may have been a rake-like creature. Throughout the conversation, Brian and Melissa explore the growing overlap between Bigfoot research and high strangeness, asking whether the phenomenon may be far more complex than either of them once believed.They close with a thoughtful discussion about discovery, whether Sasquatch truly needs human recognition, and what revealing the species to the world might actually mean. Melissa also shares where listeners can follow her work with Relic Films and on social media.Relic Films Media YouTubeEmail BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

In this episode, Brian sits down with makeup and special-effects artist, filmmaker, and longtime Patterson–Gimlin film researcher Bill Munns for a deep discussion about the enduring controversy surrounding the PGF. Drawing on decades of study and an archive of numerous scanned film copies, Munns explains how he works to separate authentic image details from artifacts introduced through duplication and degradation over time.Munns shares that one of the key details that first compelled him to take the film seriously was the smooth continuity visible along the figure’s back and neck, something he argues would have been extraordinarily difficult, if not impossible, to achieve with 1967-era suit technology. That observation became the starting point for his long-running technical analysis of the footage.The conversation also explores the documentary Capturing Bigfoot and the heavily debated approximately 40 second clip that appears to recreate action associated with the Patterson–Gimlin film. After personally examining the physical film, Munns says he identified it as a Kodachrome II camera original bearing a 1966 manufacture date code and believes it was likely shot on a Kodak K-100.At the same time, he emphasizes that a date code alone does not establish when the footage was actually filmed.Based on his analysis, Munns concludes that the clip is best understood as an after-the-fact replica rather than a pre-PGF rehearsal. He points to specific visual details, including what he describes as unnaturally white feet, as evidence supporting that conclusion.Rather than asking audiences to accept one interpretation outright, he encourages careful, critical comparison of both possibilities and argues that the most important question is not chain of custody, but how the footage itself compares to the original PGF.Munns also discusses his belief that separate “ape suit” footage may have existed, which could help explain long-circulating stories about a burned suit without necessarily proving that the Patterson–Gimlin film itself was a hoax. He closes by revealing that he is currently writing a follow-up book that will further address the controversy and expand on his findings.Get Bill's Book When Roger Met Patty Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

It's been a while since I've written a newsletter entry, but something happened on March 12, 2026 that demanded a response. A new documentary called Capturing Bigfoot, directed by Marq Evans, premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, and the shockwaves have been reverberating through the Bigfoot community ever since.The film presents newly discovered sixteen-millimeter Kodachrome footage allegedly shot in 1966, a full year before the famous Patterson-Gimlin Film was recorded at Bluff Creek, California. According to the documentary, Clint Patterson, the youngest son of Roger Patterson, has gone on camera to reveal what he says is the truth about the most famous piece of Bigfoot footage ever captured.The claims are significant, the evidence appears to be serious, and the community is divided in ways it hasn't been in decades.In this special episode, I read the latest edition of my free newsletter in its entirety, walking listeners through everything that's been reported about the documentary, the newly discovered footage, and the firestorm of reaction that has followed.I share details from my own direct conversations with key figures in the Bigfoot research community, including Emmy-winning filmmaker and MonsterQuest creator Doug Hajicek, who offers a compelling alternative interpretation of the footage, and Bill Munns, widely regarded as the leading authority on the Patterson-Gimlin Film, who has physically examined the so-called smoking gun clip and reached a very different conclusion than the one the documentary is selling. I also discuss Eric Palacios's reaction after attending a screening of the film, my outreach to director Marq Evans for a potential interview and advance screening, and my ongoing efforts to secure a statement from Bob Gimlin himself. Most importantly, I make the case I've been making for years — one that matters now more than ever. The Patterson-Gimlin Film can be fake and Sasquatch can still be real. Drawing on nearly forty years of personal research, sixteen years of law enforcement experience, my own encounters including a sighting from approximately ten feet away in Washington State in 2024 while filming the My Bigfoot Life documentary, and hundreds of conversations with credible eyewitnesses from across the continent, I argue that the Sasquatch phenomenon has never depended on a single piece of film and never should have.I encourage listeners to withhold judgment until they've examined the evidence for themselves and to resist the temptation to let someone else — filmmaker, skeptic, or true believer — tell them what to think.If you're not already subscribed to the Paranormal World Productions newsletter, now is the time.

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back, and this episode is packed with eerie wilderness encounters and hard-earned perspective. Be sure to check the show notes for a link to Fred’s channel and head over to subscribe for more of his incredible content.Fred opens with a heartfelt reminder about the importance of valuing the people we love, then dives into two chilling stories from the Alaskan backcountry.The first goes back about twenty years, when longtime partners Brian, a licensed pilot, and Casey, who owned a Piper Cub, flew into the Chugach Range to check their winter trap lines. What started as a routine trip quickly turned unsettling when they spotted a fast-moving, humanlike figure in the wilderness. As they continued, they found traps sprung, missing, or disturbed in ways that made no sense. The unease only deepened when they came across foul-smelling hair and began hearing repeated screams and the sound of something large moving through the area. Both men were overcome by the terrifying sense that they were being watched—and worse, intensely hated. After firing shots and making a desperate retreat toward the plane, Brian became physically sick as an even larger creature seemed to move in on them.They managed to escape by air, but not before realizing later that the creature had taken Brian’s snowshoe. The experience left such a deep mark that it strained their friendship for years, until they recently reconnected and finally spoke about what happened.Fred’s second story follows Chad, a cyclist traveling north of Trapper Creek, whose night in the wild took a disturbing turn. He discovered that his hammock strap had been ripped loose and that some of his gear had been moved into a tree, as though something had been deliberately toying with him.Things escalated when he encountered a dark-faced figure that let out a scream so powerful and unnatural it sent him fleeing. In a chilling twist, another cyclist miles away also heard the scream and decided to get out of the area as well.Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Brian welcomes Joey from Maryland, whose connection to the episode begins with a heartfelt voicemail about Bigfoot Country. Joey shares how deeply he related to the book’s themes of childhood, solitude, and finding refuge in the woods, explaining that his own upbringing followed a similar path.That conversation opens the door to one of Joey’s earliest and most unforgettable encounters. As a child in the mid-to-late 1980s, he was near a local creek when he spotted something extraordinary: a tiny white creature, roughly two feet tall, descending a tree. He describes it as chimp-like, juvenile in appearance, and unlike anything he had ever seen before. The moment became even more unsettling when the creature locked eyes with him, then vanished as it moved around the trunk.Years later, after developing a deeper interest in Bigfoot, Joey began experiencing other strange events in the same general area. After playing the Sierra Sounds near the creek, his dogs later refused to leave the porch while he heard eerie, chimp-like vocal responses coming from the darkness. About a week later, the activity escalated when loud, forceful tree knocks erupted near his home, sounding like a bat striking wood. Even his highly trained protection dogs were visibly shaken. Each time Joey tried to record the sounds, they stopped, only to begin again farther away.Joey also reflects on other unsettling experiences over the years, including being seemingly followed by dueling owls near the Potomac and, more recently in 2025, spotting an unusually large canine crossing the road. Throughout the conversation, Brian explores the rarity of juvenile, chimp-like Sasquatch descriptions and offers thoughtful caution about using the Sierra Sounds in the field. He shares experiences of his own involving multiple unexplained phenomena and suggests that these moments may heighten awareness rather than “mark” a person in any permanent way.He also points to dogs’ behavior as one of the most telling indicators that something unusual may be happening nearby. The episode closes with updates on several ongoing projects, including a limited Sierra Sounds vinyl release with Ron Morehead, along with work on The Sheriff of Bigfoot Country, Koda’s Odyssey, and The Bigfoot Journals.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Part Nine brings Bigfoot Country to its climax, and it does so by circling back to where every great investigation begins — with the people who lived it.After years of building this platform, the floodgates finally opened. Witnesses who had been listening from the shadows for months, sometimes years, started stepping forward. People like Patricia Ann Holloway, a seventy-one-year-old retired librarian from Pennsylvania who had carried a secret since 1973 — the summer she was nineteen years old and working at a Baptist church camp in the Allegheny National Forest.What she saw standing at the tree line that night, seven feet tall with eyes reflecting her flashlight beam, changed her forever. She kept quiet for nearly fifty years. When the only other witness — a twelve-year-old camper named Susan — passed away from cancer, Patricia decided she wasn't going to take that secret to her grave too.Her story opened the door for dozens more. A ninety-year-old former logger from Vermont who remembered the creatures the old timers simply called the Wild Men. A woman from Mississippi passing down her grandmother's encounter from the nineteen twenties. A retired park ranger from California who had spent forty years documenting things he could never put in an official report.But the witnesses were only half the story. Researchers started coming forward too — scientists and academics who had sacrificed careers and reputations to study something the mainstream refused to acknowledge. A primatologist who recognized authentic dermal ridges on a footprint cast. A geneticist with hair samples that matched no known species. An anthropologist who had collected indigenous oral histories from around the world and found an undeniable pattern running through all of them.Then came the most dangerous interview of all.A former military intelligence officer, speaking through an encrypted line, revealed the existence of government programs spanning six decades. Programs designed not just to suppress evidence, but to study these creatures — and exploit them. He couldn't say everything. He said enough.The tension ratcheted up from there. Physical confrontations on mountain roads.Men in dark suits offering deals and making threats. And a manila folder full of classified documents that blew the lid off everything — project names like Titan Watch, Forest Shadow, and Mind Bridge, detailing decades of monitoring, containment, and experimentation on captured creatures.Through all of it, Brian wrestled with the personal weight of the mission. Late night conversations with his mother, who carried her own encounters with the unexplainable. Quiet moments on the porch with Daniel.A faith that had evolved far beyond the Baptist church of his childhood into something broader and harder to name — a belief that the universe held mysteries worth chasing, no matter the cost.The final expedition into the Pisgah wilderness brought everything full circle. Days of waiting. Thermal signatures circling in the dark. Vocalizations echoing through old-growth timber. And on the last night, alone at the edge of camp under a full moon, a moment of silent recognition between two species that have shared this land far longer than anyone wants to admit.Part Nine is about what happens when the dam finally cracks. When the witnesses refuse to stay silent. When the researchers stop protecting their careers and start protecting the truth. And when one man, standing on a dark porch in the Appalachian Mountains, hears a chorus of howls rising from the forest and knows the world is about to change.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Jerry AKA Caser Rebel is back with a chilling look at the 1978–1979 encounters around Kaser, North Carolina, near the South Mountains and Carpenter’s Knob. Witnesses including Minnie Cook, Sally White, the Price family, and Gay Smith reported a large black, hairy, humanlike figure prowling properties, killing animals, leaving tracks, and unleashing terrifying howls, screams, and strange yodeling wails.Drawing from reports documented by Robert Williams, who helped popularize the name “Knobby,” Jerry explores the possibility that more than one threat was involved, including an oversized black panther and a third track type he believes may point to a Dogman.The episode also dives into the fear of feral people in Appalachia, with accounts of eerie communication, violent encounters, a destroyed 1978 campsite, and a 2021 cave investigation that revealed a barefoot human track and signs of repeated human activity.Rebel's Dark Tales of Appalachia YouTubeEmail BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?
