In this episode, weâre crisscrossing America to bring you real stories from real people who all witnessed the same impossible thing: a giant, hairy figure walking uprightâsomewhere it shouldnât be. These arenât fringe conspiracy theorists. Theyâre hunters, hikers, law enforcement, truckers, and ordinary folks from every corner of the country.
Some were skeptics. Some still are. But every single one of them saw something they canât explain.
Bigfoot. Sasquatch. Skunk Ape.
Whatever name you give it, one thing is certainâthese witnesses aren't just telling tall tales. They're convinced of what they saw.

What happens when curiosity becomes obsessionâand the wild starts watching back?In this episode, we journey deep into the heart of cryptozoological mystery, where strange creatures arenât the only things lurking in the dark. From remote mountain ranges to disaster zones veiled in smoke and secrecy, we follow the breadcrumbs left by researchers, explorers, and locals who claim to have seen the impossibleâand sometimes paid the price for speaking out.
Youâll hear accounts that defy easy explanation: humanoid figures glimpsed in fog-draped valleys, fieldwork that ends in silence and blood, and eerie patterns of vanishing evidence. As the line blurs between folklore and field science, one question echoes through every story: what arenât we supposed to find out?
This isnât just a tour of cryptid loreâitâs a confrontation with the hidden cost of seeking the truth in places the world forgot. Expect shadowy encounters, vanished research, and the uncomfortable possibility that some legends are protected by more than just disbelief. Because in the world of cryptids, itâs not always the creature you need to fearâitâs what happens after you find it.

Tonight I share five extraordinary encounters with unexplained forest beings across five decades and thousands of miles of American wilderness, told by witnesses who never met yet describe remarkably similar experiences.
Olympic Peninsula, Washington - 1968 & 1973 A fire lookout witnesses a massive bipedal creature investigating a log in the remote Olympics. The witness describes intelligence in the being's eyes and the sensation of being observed. Years later, while hunting, he encounters multiple creatures communicating through wood knocks and territory marking with strategically broken trees.
Adirondack Mountains, New York - 1976 & 1988 A biology graduate student conducting acid rain research experiences terrifying vocalizations and heavy bipedal footsteps circling her camp. Twelve years later, while camping with her husband, they both witness the same wood-knocking communication and glimpse a large, hair-covered figureâvalidating her earlier encounter and challenging her scientific understanding.
Ozark Mountains, Arkansas - 1985 & 1997 An experienced hunter describes a creature methodically untying a rope supporting their gameâshowing dexterity and problem-solving unlike any known wildlife. Despite having a clear shot, he chooses not to fire after recognizing intelligence in the creature's eyes. His second encounter while hunting with his teenage son reveals territorial behavior through wood knocks and stone throwing.
Great Smoky Mountains, North Carolina - 2002 & 2005 A pastor on a solitary retreat encounters unusual branch arrangements and "offerings." He describes the creatures' apparent response to prayer, adding a spiritual dimension to the encounter. Years later, with his young nephew, they witness coordinated movement around their camp and discover a precisely arranged pile of pinecones topped with a wild strawberry.
Humboldt County, California - 2019 & 2022 A wildlife biologist in California's redwood forests provides our most technical account, describing coordinated group behavior, tool use, and possible communication attempts. Her scientific training allows detailed analysis of vocalizations with infrasonic components and footprints suggesting creatures weighing 600-700 pounds moving with bipedal locomotion unlike any known mammal. What makes these accounts compelling is the consistent behavioral patterns described by witnesses separated by thousands of miles and decades: the same wood knocking communication, branch breaking patterns, gift exchanges, and sense of being observed by something intelligent yet non-human.

Tonight, Brian shares the never-before-told story of Thomas, a fur trapper whose life was forever changed after a terrifying encounter with sasquatch in the remote Canadian wilderness during February 1987. This first-hand account challenges everything we think we know about these mysterious creatures. What Mercer experienced reveals them to be intelligent, communicative, and potentially dangerous beings with complex social structures and territorial behaviors. His haunting experience raises profound questions about what these creatures truly are and our responsibility toward them.
The story begins as Thomas, a third-generation fur trapper, flies his bush plane to his remote family cabin in the Northwest Territories to begin his winter trapping season. Almost immediately upon arrival, Mercer discovers massive, human-like footprints circling his cabinânearly 20 inches long with a stride length twice that of a human.Over the following days, Mercer encounters increasingly bizarre evidence: traps carefully disarmed with ritualistic arrangements of objects nearby, complex vocal communications between multiple creatures echoing through the forest, and deliberate attempts to test his cabin's defenses through systematic tapping and probing of the structure.Most chilling of all, the creatures attempt direct communication.
First through arrangements of natural objects in geometric patterns, then through mimicked human speechâeven speaking Mercer's name and referring to his deceased father. In broken English, they suggest they need an "alliance" against other humans hunting them, hinting at a government or private organization aware of their existence.When Mercer attempts to escape in his plane, he's forced to shoot one of the creatures that charges him from behind. In a moment that has haunted him for decades, the wounded sasquatch looks him in the eye and asks simply, "Why?"In the thirty years since this encounter, Mercer has dedicated his life to sasquatch research, building one of the most comprehensive private databases of encounters in North America.
Through his research, he discovered another harrowing account from the Olympic Peninsula, where a logging crew's encounter ended in a gruesome deathâevidence that these beings aren't always the gentle forest giants of popular imagination.We should note that this episode contains descriptions of violence and disturbing content that may not be suitable for all listeners. Discretion is advised.Thomas Mercer, whose name has been changed at his request, was 25 years old during his encounter in 1987. Now in his sixties, he's spent decades researching similar encounters while maintaining his anonymity. This marks the first time he's shared his complete story publicly.

In this episode, Fred shares two intense encounters from the Bristol Bay area in Alaska. Kelly's story from the early 1960s recounts a frightening run-in with what her cousin called a 'Harry man' while berry-picking near Lake NCA and Lake Beverly. This vivid narrative details their initial playful adventure turning into a nightmare as they come across the creature hunting a caribou. The second story, from Marty in 1995, describes his and his friend Lewis's eerie experience while on a fishing trip near Mount Tick Chick. After hearing unsettling whoops and strange noises, they are confronted by a large, humanoid figure. Marty's account delves into their attempts to stay safe and their ultimate retreat to their plane. Both stories highlight the mysterious and potentially dangerous presence of unknown beings in the Alaskan wilderness.

In this episode, we take you deep into the woods of Murphy, North Carolinaâjust before a night hike during a recent expedition. As the sun dipped behind the mountains and the forest began to settle into its nighttime rhythm, we gathered near an old concrete pillar to hear a story that stopped us in our tracks.
Kenny, a quiet and grounded voice in the group, shared an experience he and his son had just yards from where we stood. Late one night, they came face-to-face with something massive, strange, and completely out of place. It was nearly invisible until they were almost on top of itâits shape and presence only registering when it was far too close for comfort.In this raw, on-location recording, Kenny walks us through that night: the moment of the sighting, the unsettling details of the creatureâs appearance, and what he discovered afterward. Other witnesses. Unexplained lights in the sky. Patterns that point to something lurking in these mountainsâsomething that doesnât want to be seen.This episode captures the start of our night hike and the kind of story you only hear when the campfireâs burning low and the forest feels like itâs listening in.Whether youâre a skeptic, believer, or somewhere in between, one thingâs for sureâthis one stays with you.

In today's special storytelling episode, I'm thrilled to share an original tale I've created called "The Unlikely Guardians: Bigfoot Saves Easter. This heartwarming adventure follows Bartholomew, the last Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest, whose carefully isolated life is upended when he discovers a set of unusual footprints in the late winter snow. Following them leads to an encounter with none other than Edmund Cottontail, the Easter Bunny himself, who is in desperate need of help. The magical Egg of Renewal has been stolen by Jack Frost, threatening to trap the world in endless winter and prevent Easter from happening at all.What follows is a journey across magical landscapes as these natural oppositesâa reclusive wilderness dweller and the embodiment of spring celebrationâform an unlikely alliance.
Their adventure takes them through ancient forests, across frozen plains, and eventually to the edge of reality itself as they confront not just Jack Frost but the shadowy powers manipulating him. Throughout their quest, Bart and Edmund discover that their differences actually create a perfect harmony when combined with Jack's winter magic, forming a balanced force capable of restoring nature's cycles.The story explores how friendship can emerge in the most unexpected places, and how the balance between wilderness, winter, and renewal is essential for the natural world to flourish. We witness Bart's transformation from a solitary observer who has hidden from the world for centuries into someone who finds purpose in connection and community. It's a modern fairy tale about how isolation ends when we open ourselves to new possibilities and how seemingly opposite forces can unite for a greater purpose.

In this chilling episode, we dive deep into the mysterious Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, where moonshine and monsters collide in a story that spans generations. Join us as we unravel the tale of Jim, a master moonshiner whose knowledge of the mountains led to prosperityâand ultimately, his mysterious disappearance in 1972. This haunting narrative, told from the perspective of his grandson, explores how Jim used the feared presence of Sasquatch creatures to keep revenue agents and competitors away from his illegal stills in an area locals called "Booger Holler." But as we'll discover, nature always collects its debts, and some territories should never be trespassedâno matter how profitable they might be.
This haunting tale explores themes of territory, respect for nature, and the price of hubris. The Appalachian Mountains have long been home to tales of strange creatures and unexplained phenomena, with "Booger" being a common mountain term for ghost or monster. While science may not acknowledge the existence of Sasquatch, many mountain communities have their own stories of encounters with something not quite human that protects the deepest, most isolated hollows.Moonshining itself has a rich history in the Appalachians, where distilling skills were passed down through generations and became both an economic necessity and a point of cultural pride for many families. The tension between moonshiners and "revenuers" (federal agents) created a perfect environment for legends to thriveâespecially those that kept strangers away from secret still locations.
Listener DiscretionThis episode contains descriptions of implied violence and intense situations that may not be suitable for younger listeners. While not graphically depicted, the story suggests the fate of those who venture too far into territories they aren't welcome in.
