He Survived a Werewolf at 14 — Then Died, Found a Portal, and Recorded Bigfoot

You thought Matt Emch's story ended with the dogman in the warehouse. It doesn't even come close. In this follow-up episode of Codega's Codex of Curiosities, Matt Emch returns to share what his life has looked like since that terrifying night at age 14 — when he and his friends were cornered in an abandoned factory by a towering, wolf-like creature and only survived because a train arrived at exactly the right moment. That encounter was just the beginning. Matt opens up about his near death experience (NDE) — a deeply emotional journey to the other side where he was met and comforted by his deceased parents. It's one of the most moving accounts we've featured on this show, and a reminder that Matt's connection to the unexplained runs far deeper than one childhood encounter. But his story doesn't stop there. Despite recovering from a leg amputation, Matt pushed himself to travel to a hidden location in Beaver Creek — guided by a psychic who told him the site held an active vortex portal. Unable to reach the exact coordinates on foot, Matt sat in silence and conducted an EVP session — and what he captured in that recording is something we're still trying to explain. Bigfoot? Dogman? Something else entirely?
