Sasquatch Odyssey

In this first installment of the Sasquatch Unleashed audiobook, I take you all the way back to where my obsession began. The pine woods of north Georgia, the campfire stories my dad's hunting buddies traded after dark, and the tale of a ginseng hunter named Mr. Brown who came face to face with something eight feet tall and reeking of death in Jenkins Gap.I share my own encounter too, the day at twelve years old when something I still can't explain ran me out of the woods and set me on the path that eventually became Sasquatch Odyssey.From there we dig into the real meat of the phenomenon. I walk through the evidence that keeps me in this fight, from the eyewitness accounts and the footprints with their telltale mid-tarsal break to the disputed hair samples, the Sierra Sounds recordings, the Patterson-Gimlin film, the Paul Freeman footage, and the strange partial body cast pulled from a muddy wallow near Mount Adams.We get into tree breaks and stick structures, what the known great apes actually build, and the deep divide between those of us who see a flesh-and-blood animal and those who chase high strangeness. I lay out my two best suspects from the fossil record, Gigantopithecus and Australopithecus, and revisit the crippled tracks that turned up around Bossburg.Then I carry you into the history that came long before the cameras ever rolled. The indigenous traditions that named this creature across the Pacific Northwest, the early explorers who found giant tracks pressed into the snow, and the chilling account a future president, Theodore Roosevelt, recorded in his own hunting memoir. The story of a trapper named Bauman, and a night in a lonely mountain pass that ended in something no one could explain.Email BrianJoin 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 of Sasquatch Odyssey, Brian welcomes author, explorer, and cryptozoology researcher Adam Davies for a wide-ranging conversation about Bigfoot, strange creatures, and the deeper mysteries that may surround unexplained encounters in the wilderness. Adam shares how childhood loss, a serious leg injury, and a lifelong drive to explore the unknown pushed him toward cryptozoology and into some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth in search of creatures that science has yet to fully explain.Adam traces the beginning of his North American Bigfoot research to his work with Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum and discusses the investigations that followed across the United States, including powerful experiences in Washington State involving wood knocks, roars, unexplained laughter in the woods, and the controversial campfire photo that continues to spark debate. He also reflects on time spent in the field with researchers including Brian Sykes, Russell Acord, and Thomas Stewart, while offering a candid look at the strengths, weaknesses, and frustrations within modern Bigfoot research.The conversation takes a much stranger turn as Adam recounts a disturbing multi-night experience at Matthew Johnson’s habituation site, where he says he witnessed a beam of light, a red mist, and small black red-eyed entities that appeared to move through or emerge from something he could only interpret as interdimensional. Brian and Adam dig into the uneasy overlap between Bigfoot reports, portal claims, strange lights, red-eyed creatures, and the limits of what witnesses are willing to say publicly.Adam also challenges parts of the habituation community, especially claims that rely on extraordinary stories without hard evidence, while discussing cognitive priming, witness underreporting, and why many people stay silent after seeing something they cannot easily explain. He also shares updates on his work with Relic Films, including a dramatic Land Between the Lakes encounter, along with projects like The Vanished and The Awakened. The episode closes with a look at Adam’s books and his upcoming nonfiction release, Ghosts and Beasts, which explores the unsettling territory where cryptids, folklore, and paranormal experiences collide.This is a must-listen conversation for anyone interested in Bigfoot, cryptozoology, red-eyed entities, wilderness mysteries, portals, strange mist, and the cases that sit just beyond the edge of conventional explanation.Relic Films YouTube Channel Get Adam's Books Email BrianJoin 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 is back to share more stories from deep in the wilds of Alaska. In this episode, Fred returns with another firsthand look at life in one of the most remote and unforgiving places on earth, where the line between the known and the unknown can feel dangerously thin.From isolated stretches of wilderness to strange activity around remote cabins and camps, Fred brings listeners back into the vast Alaskan backcountry, where silence carries weight and every unexplained sound demands attention. His stories offer a rare glimpse into the experiences of those who live, work, and travel in places most people will never see, where encounters with something massive, intelligent, and elusive continue to raise unsettling questions.Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTubeEmail BrianJoin 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?

A man named Dale wrote to me with no subject line and one question: had I ever taken a statement I wasn't allowed to write down. Sixteen years on the job in Atlanta meant that question landed somewhere familiar, so I wrote him back, and what followed was three phone calls and thirty years of a retired ranger's private records read to me out of the drugstore notebooks he'd been keeping since his first season. Dale spent most of his career in the Great Smoky Mountains, with early seasons out west and a few eastern parks along the way.He started out a skeptic, a hunting-family kid who filed the Bigfoot stuff in the same drawer as ghost lights and panther screams. He agrees with me about ninety percent of the way. No men in black, no federal directive, no coordinated national cover-up. But he wanted to push back on the last ten percent with three decades of receipts, because in his experience reports do get buried, not by conspiracy but by omission, by a supervisor saying write it as a bear, by a busy man deciding a thing is easier to ignore than explain. This episode walks through what he saw and what he was told to do about it. The two backpackers and the rock-throwing at the shelter that got logged as bear activity.The hunter who watched something walk a ridgeline on two legs and got angry when Dale wouldn't hand him an easy answer. The through-hiker, the scout troop, and the experienced hunter named Pres who watched one work a timber edge through a spotting scope for ten minutes in good light. The screams, the whoops, the wood knocks, the jabbering that broke a grown man because of the pauses. The casts Dale still keeps in his garage, the one he turned in early on that disappeared, the structures and tree breaks and stacked stones he couldn't argue down.The colleagues who only ever floated it sideways in a truck at the end of a shift, and the one who sat on his own sighting for forty years because a supervisor in the seventies told him he'd finish his career cleaning vault toilets.And the last one. A gray morning, a downed tree across a gated roadbed, and something standing fifty yards up the track that looked back at him over its shoulder and folded into the laurel without a sound. Dale had plaster in the truck.He'd cast a dozen prints for other people on far less. He looked at the two impressions it left, turned around, and drove down the mountain, and he never told anyone at the Park Service. The man who kept thirty years of records because he couldn't stand watching the truth get left out went and left out his own, and he knew exactly what he was doing while he did it.I still don't believe in the grand conspiracy. Institutions leak, people talk, somebody always wants the credit or the book deal. But Dale moved me on the small version, because the small version isn't a theory. It's just how organizations work, and I watched the same machinery punch the same hole in the same kind of paperwork wearing a different uniform.The motive never had to be sinister for the record to come out crooked. If you want to know how something stays hidden in plain sight that long, you don't need an agency. You need the most honest man in the woods to decide on his own that some truths cost more than they're worth. He'll keep the secret better than any conspiracy could, for free.Email BrianJoin 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 Kyle back to the show for a raw, boots-on-the-ground conversation about Kyle’s new venture, Backcountry Bigfoot, a YouTube channel built around the real-life experience of Sasquatch research in the wild. Rather than presenting a polished, overly produced version of the subject, Kyle explains that his goal is to bring viewers directly into the backcountry with him, capturing the everyday reality of expeditions, campfire conversations, tree breaks, footprints, strange sounds, unexpected moments, and the humor, exhaustion, awe, and uncertainty that come with searching for Sasquatch in some of the most active wilderness areas he has worked.Kyle shares how Backcountry Bigfoot came together, including Brian’s role in helping him land on the name and shape the idea into something that could become more than just a channel. He talks about wanting to fully immerse himself in filming, editing, guiding, and documenting his research, even though it is all new territory for him. The heart of the project is authenticity: walking through the woods, talking through evidence as it is found, sitting around the fire after a long day, and giving viewers the kind of raw access that many people will never be able to experience in person.The conversation moves into Kyle’s research area near Radium, where Brian previously spent time in the field and had experiences that left a lasting impression. They discuss the remote journey into the area, the powerful feeling of being truly away from civilization, and the kind of activity reported there, including rock throwing, wood knocks, strange vocalizations, “samurai chatter,” trailer movement, eerie night walks, and multiple alleged Sasquatch sightings. Kyle also recounts several personal and witnessed encounters, including his father seeing a Sasquatch near camp and a guest watching one cross a trail just as darkness settled in.A major part of the discussion focuses on the evidence found throughout the area, especially the overwhelming number of tree breaks and the unusual footprints preserved in the thick mossy substrate. Kyle explains how the moss reacts to normal human traffic compared with the deep impressions he believes were left by extremely heavy beings, some lasting for years because the moss is crushed, torn, and effectively killed in the shape of a foot.  Brian reflects on how difficult it is to appreciate the scale and strangeness of the tree breaks without seeing them firsthand, especially when they appear high off the ground, methodically broken, and far beyond what an average person could reproduce.Brian and Kyle also revisit some of the most memorable locations from the expedition, including the area known as Pinner Playground, a strange section of forest filled with unusual stick formations, teepee-like structures, possible trackways, and an energy that both men describe as hard to explain. They also discuss the discovery of a massive structure involving enormous trees placed against an ancient tree deep in an area where machinery could not realistically access, raising more questions than answers about how it could have been made.Back Country Bigfoot YouTube ChannelEmail BrianJoin 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 encounters from the wilds of Alaska.In the first account, Fred shares a chilling story from the early 1960s along the Nushagak River near Bristol Bay.Siblings “Agnes” and “Dean” were out scouting berry patches and looking for signs of moose when they heard deep, guttural bellowing coming from the dense brush. What followed was a terrifying encounter with an enormous, humanlike figure moving through the vegetation, pulling brush aside as it advanced.As the siblings tried to retreat toward their skiff, Dean fired at what appeared to be an approaching hand. Moments later, they spotted an even larger figure near the riverbank, this one described as having long, groomed-looking hair, before they escaped by boat.The second encounter takes us east of Day Harbor, where “Bill,” “Brad,” and “Connie” came face-to-face with something massive hidden in the brush. At first, they saw what looked like a huge black-haired head with dark skin staring back at them. Then it stood up.The group fled downhill, only to later discover a large log that appeared to have been thrown down the slope. Bill fired and believed he struck the creature in the leg, but the encounter escalated when a spinning piece of wood was hurled in his direction. Loud whistles echoed through the area, forcing the group to escape by dinghy. Fred also shares his appreciation for the witnesses who came forward, noting that names and map locations have been adjusted to protect their identities. These two unsettling Alaska encounters are packed with fear, mystery, and the kind of remote wilderness detail that makes Sasquatch reports from the far north so compelling.Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube ChannelEmail BrianJoin 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?

Can we convict Sasquatch in a court of law?  Brian takes the single question that earned its own chapter in his first book, Sasquatch Unleashed: The Truth Behind the Legend, and puts the big fella on trial under the same rules that decide real cases.Drawing on sixteen years carrying a badge, including time with the Atlanta Police Department, and close to forty years chasing this animal in the field, Brian builds the Sasquatch case the way a working investigator builds any case, brick by brick, and then tears it apart on cross-examination so you hear the strongest version of both sides before you render a verdict.This is a working tour through the five kinds of evidence that show up in nearly every American courtroom, and how the Bigfoot question performs against each one. Real evidence, the physical proof, gets weighed against the footprint casts, the dermal ridges, the alleged hair and the chain-of-custody problems that would sink half of it before trial.Documentary evidence, demonstrative evidence, and the famous Patterson-Gimlin film all face the same scrutiny, with an honest look at the costume claims, the hoaxers who confessed, and why a piece of footage shot at Bluff Creek in nineteen sixty-seven still resists explanation more than half a century later. Testimonial evidence, the tens of thousands of eyewitness accounts from police officers, wildlife biologists, soldiers, hunters and truckers, gets prosecuted hard and then cross-examined just as hard, because eyewitness memory is the most fragile thing in the entire courtroom.And digital evidence, the trail-camera photos, thermal clips and cell-phone video, runs straight into the deepfake era, where better technology has somehow made the case harder to prove rather than easier.Along the way the episode walks through the real material that defines this subject, from the Bossburg Cripplefoot tracks and the work of Grover Krantz and Jeff Meldrum to the Oxford DNA study led by Bryan Sykes, the Melba Ketchum results, the new-species precedents of the mountain gorilla, the coelacanth and the saola, and the body-shaped hole at the center of the whole question.Brian lays out the difference between the preponderance standard and proof beyond a reasonable doubt, explains exactly why a circumstantial case can still convict, and then does the thing most people in this field never have the nerve to do. He hands you the verdict. He also puts his own card on the table, including the daylight sighting he had in Washington State in twenty twenty-four, and explains why, as an atheist and a rigor-first researcher with no patience for the woo, he still argues that his own eyewitness account has no business moving the jury.If you care about Bigfoot evidence, Sasquatch research, cryptid investigation done with actual standards, and the honest question of what it would really take to confirm an unknown North American primate, this one is built for you. You are the jury.

In this episode, Brian welcomes Doug from Oregon for an intense and deeply detailed account of a roadside Sasquatch encounter that took place in February 2006 along Highway 199 between Grants Pass, Oregon, and Crescent City, California.Doug explains how a late-night drive home through the dark, winding canyon near the Collier Tunnel and The Narrows turned into one of the most unforgettable moments of his life when his headlights and orange truck lights revealed a massive upright figure walking along the road.Doug describes the creature as unlike the classic bulky depictions many people imagine. Instead, he saw something towering, lean, powerful, and athletic, with the build of an enormous basketball player.He estimates it stood somewhere around ten feet tall or more, with long arms, massive shoulders, a narrow waist, pronounced musculature, pale gray skin, dark charcoal-gray hair, and orange-red eyes that appeared to catch the light as Doug passed in his 1995 Chevy dually. The creature did not run, panic, or react aggressively. It simply kept walking, calm and natural, as Doug drove by close enough to see its face, body structure, stride, hands, feet, and skin in startling detail.The conversation moves beyond the sighting itself into the emotional aftermath of seeing something so rare and impossible to easily explain. Doug talks about the shock, excitement, fear, and frustration that followed, especially after sharing the story with people who dismissed him or made him feel ridiculed. Over time, encouragement from his wife and conversations with Native friends, outdoorsmen, hunters, and other witnesses helped him become more open about what he saw.He also shares related local accounts from the same region, including sightings near Siskiyou Forks Road, Bluff Creek, Bald Hills Road, the Klamath River, Monkey Creek, and other deeply remote parts of Northern California and Southern Oregon.Brian and Doug also dig into one of the biggest questions surrounding roadside Sasquatch encounters: why would such an elusive creature be seen walking near or on a road? Brian offers the possibility that, like other animals, Sasquatch may sometimes use roads as the path of least resistance while moving from one area to another.Doug adds his own thoughts about the rugged terrain, river corridors, steep granite slopes, and hidden access points in the area where his encounter occurred. The discussion touches on Native traditions, flesh-and-blood theories, spiritual questions, government secrecy, missing people, wilderness fear, and the strange mix of curiosity and danger that seems to follow this phenomenon.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, and this time he brings two encounters rooted deep in the Copper River Valley and the gold country of Alaska's interior. The first comes from a man we'll call Travis, an Ahtna man with family ties down the Copper River Valley who saved for years to carve out a small homestead on a five-acre piece of native allotment land.Three years ago, on the third morning of an early trip with his wife, the couple's coffee was interrupted by a grunt and then a growl that seemed to come from every direction. What Travis first took for a bear turned out to be something far stranger, peering over ten-foot alders from twenty-five yards out. His wife saw it clearly first, describing a caveman-like figure with dark grayish-black skin, black eyes, a broad flat nose with downward-facing nostrils, and a strange blondish-red coat of hair.What followed was a two-day siege, with multiple creatures circling the cabin, jiggling the door handle, throwing rocks onto the roof, and fixating on Travis's wife, who reported hearing one of them telling her to come over in her own head. Rifle shots, a near-decision to burn the tree line, a sleepless night, and a tense armed extraction with friends the next morning all play out before they finally reach their ATVs and escape. Travis has returned since, learning from the previous owners that activity reliably picked up twice a year, every spring and fall.The second story reaches back to the spring of 1946 and comes from an Ahtna elder we'll call Tyler, passed down across a lifetime from his father, Tyler Senior. Set in the gold country near what would later become the Taylor Highway at Mosquito Creek, in an area then known as Forty Mile, the account follows Tyler Senior and two cousins working a small claim. After days with no wildlife stirring, the harassment began with strange whoops, whistles, and pigeon-like cooing from the tree line, then escalated to rocks thrown with painful accuracy, a wrung-off caribou head and a stripped hindquarter lobbed into camp, and a black silhouette swaying at the edge of the firelight. Heavily armed with old-school large-bore rifles, the men fired volley after volley at a creature that ran through their fire, scattered the embers, and seemed to vanish each time they shot. By the time multiple siren-like screams answered one another up and down the valley before dawn, the men packed up and abandoned the operation for good.The lesson Tyler Senior carried and passed down was simple and consistent: you never engage the bushman, you leave, because if you don't, it doesn't stop.Visit 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?

In this latest installment of The Bigfoot Inquiry, Brian and Dr. Hogan Sherrow dive into one of the most important conversations in modern Sasquatch research: Occam’s Razor, parsimony, and the need for critical thinking when evaluating Bigfoot evidence.Using Brian’s recent newsletter topic as the foundation, the discussion explores how the scientific method can help researchers, enthusiasts, and witnesses examine claims without immediately jumping to the most extraordinary conclusion. Brian reflects on campout experiences where people interpreted blurry shapes, broken sticks, unusual trees, possible footprints, and so-called structures as evidence of Sasquatch activity. He explains his diplomatic response of “that’s weird” while also emphasizing the importance of considering simpler explanations first, including pareidolia, human activity, environmental conditions, animal behavior, and confirmation bias.Brian and Dr. Hogan also address the growing divide within the Bigfoot community between open-minded inquiry and uncritical belief. They discuss how explanations involving portals, mind speak, and other “woo” concepts can sometimes add unnecessary layers of mystery instead of bringing researchers closer to answers. While both remain open to possibilities, they stress that extraordinary claims require careful evaluation and that the strongest path forward is one rooted in evidence, humility, and intellectual honesty.The conversation also touches on how artificial intelligence has made photographs and videos less reliable than ever, increasing the need for biological evidence, field discipline, and objective analysis. From debates surrounding the Patterson-Gimlin film to modern programs like Capturing Bigfoot, Brian and Dr. Hogan examine how ego, gullibility, infighting, and overinterpretation can weaken the search for truth.At its core, this episode is a reminder that critical thinking is not the enemy of belief. It is what gives the search for Sasquatch credibility.Brian and Dr. Hogan encourage listeners to stay curious, get outside, investigate responsibly, question assumptions, and evaluate every claim with both an open mind and a grounded perspective.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 back North Carolina BFRO researcher Rick for a wide-ranging conversation filled with field reports, strange activity, and thoughtful discussion about the ever-evolving world of Bigfoot research. Rick begins by revisiting his own 2010 road-crossing encounter before taking listeners into recent BFRO expeditions in southeastern Tennessee and South Carolina’s Sumter National Forest, where investigators experienced a series of intense and unexplained nighttime events.During these outings, Rick describes loud impacts against a metal building, rocks being thrown near the group, unusual eye shine or glowing eyes appearing 7 to 9 feet off the ground, and colors that seemed to shift between red, yellow-green, and white. He also discusses reports of “zapping” sensations, aggressive bull rushes when participants moved too close, and a large tree or log being thrown through the woods with enough force to convince the group it was time to leave the area.The conversation also explores the stranger edges of field research, including occasional paranormal claims connected to investigation sites, such as reports of a “white lady” entity and voice-box messages that appeared to describe what participants were wearing.Brian and Rick discuss how to balance open-minded investigation with healthy skepticism, the importance of Occam’s razor, and the challenge of separating compelling field experiences from overactive interpretation.Rick also shares his thoughts on managing enthusiastic participants, keeping expedition groups small, using trained and skeptical leaders, and conducting honest debriefs after high-strangeness events.The episode closes with a broader conversation about technology, social media, and how the modern “Bigfoot narrative” is being shaped, challenged, and sometimes distorted by online culture.Rick also talks about his field guide on stick structures, his I Know Squatch merchandise, upcoming appearances including Squatchapalooza on June 6 at Mills River Brewing, other festival events, and his music under the name Just Rick.Visit I Know Squatch 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 returns to the show with two chilling reported encounters from the Alaskan wilderness, each involving a large, aggressive, humanlike creature and witnesses forced to flee under terrifying circumstances.In the first account, Timothy, an aspiring bush pilot, flies from Anchorage to Big Lake in June before continuing by floatplane to a remote pond near a friend’s cabin. While hiking a ridge late in the evening — despite the lingering daylight near 11 p.m. — Timothy is overcome by an intense feeling of unease. Moments later, he sees trees violently shaking, hears guttural clicks and eerie cackling sounds, and spots a massive dark figure he estimates to be 13 to 14 feet tall.The encounter escalates when the creature appears to throw the top half of a spruce tree in his direction. Timothy fires his shotgun, then empties his .44 Magnum at what he describes as a crouched, spider-crawling mass. The figure suddenly rises to its full height, lets out a horrifying scream, and Timothy makes a desperate escape back to his floatplane.The second account comes from brothers Derek and James, who describe a frightening 1979 trip along Alaska’s Snake River. While traveling through dense fog, they hear a powerful whoop and soon see a dark shape rise up into a massive bipedal form. The encounter intensifies as rocks are thrown and the creature begins making strange, motor-like imitation sounds, forcing the brothers to flee. Family members later refer to the being as a “hairy man.”.Be sure to check out Fred’s incredible work on the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel by clicking the link below and exploring more of his videos.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?

This is part two of my conversation with author and researcher Norman Sollie, and this is where the rubber meets the road. In our first episode together on Friday, Norman walked us through more than four decades of his own personal encounters with Sasquatch across Washington, Illinois, Massachusetts, Colorado, and Alaska. If you missed it, go back and listen to that one first. You're going to want the foundation. In part two, we leave Norman's personal experiences behind and we dig into the work he's spent the last several years building. His brand-new book, Before Patty, Volume One: Patrick, the Sasquatch-Human Hybrid and Our Genetic Inheritance, lays out a case unlike anything I've seen in this field in close to forty years of paying attention.Norman walks me through the chain that brought him to the story in the first place, starting with a self-published Russian hominology book he picked up at the twenty nineteen International Bigfoot Conference in Kennewick, Washington, that pointed him toward an obscure American anthropologist named Dr. Ed Fusch and a nineteen ninety-two paper most of the Bigfoot community had never heard of.He walks me through how genealogist Heather Moser of Small Town Monsters cracked the trail open in forty-eight hours, and how Norman then spent the next two years personally tracking Patrick across the entire historical record, eventually surfacing a hundred and sixty documents that all point to the same man.The case Norman lays out is built on hard evidence. Birth records placing Patrick's birth in June of eighteen ninety-two, three months earlier than the family officially declared, with the strong implication that his mother was moved off-reservation to Chelan, Washington, to give birth in privacy.A land patent on a hundred and four acres of Colville Reservation ranch land, signed by President Woodrow Wilson in nineteen seventeen. Court filings and arrest records from Patrick's later years documenting his slide into Prohibition-era bootlegging and alcoholism. Mugshots from the front and the side that show a man whose anatomy does not fit a clean Homo sapiens profile. And a careful ink signature in Patrick's own hand, consistent across roughly twenty-five years of documents, that now sits on the cover of Norman's book.Norman gets into the comparative anatomy in detail. The steeply sloped forehead without compensating brow ridges. The brain case that extends back behind the ears in a way no typical Homo sapiens skull extends. The ears themselves, sitting noticeably below the line between the pupils and rotated backward by roughly twenty-two degrees. The completely missing chin, the absence of the bony mentum projection, a feature that lines up cleanly with what we know about Neanderthal jaw structure.The short compressed neck that mirrors Neanderthal cervical vertebrae. Norman ran comparative tracings against a Colville Indian contemporary and an Alaskan Native control, scaled to the same dimensions, and Patrick falls outside the human range on virtually every measurement that matters.We get into the strangeness of Patrick the man. The farmhand Louie, who worked for him through the late nineteen twenties, described him as a quiet gentle boss who was nearly impossible to play cards against because he always knew what everybody else was holding. We get into his eight children, including the three surviving daughters Mary Louise, Madeline, and Stella, and the inheritance that shows up in their faces and bodies in varying degrees.We get into Patrick's slow decline through the nineteen twenties and thirties, the loss of the ranch, the bootlegging arrests, the hops-picking years, and the death in a Seattle morning in nineteen sixty-two on the same day Norman himself first arrived in the United States as a small child.And we get to the bottom line. Norman makes the case, plainly, that Patrick was real. That his father was not a human father. That the abduction described in the Sinixt family memory was a real event, with a real consequence, and that the consequence walked the earth for seventy years and left a paper trail any researcher with the time and the patience can now verify.Norman's view, which I share, is that if Patrick is real, then at least some of what we are seeing out there in the woods is biologically close enough to us to interbreed and produce viable offspring.The implications of that are not small.You can pick up Norman's book at beforepatty.com, or through Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle. Better yet, ask for it through your local independent bookseller or Barnes and Noble. Norman has volume two on the way, making the broader evolutionary case for Sasquatch, with volume three to follow on what he calls the weird stuff.

In this episode, Brian sits down with author and researcher Norman Solie for the first half of their conversation, focused entirely on the encounters and experiences that pulled Norman into the world of Sasquatch research.Norman traces his fascination back to childhood, when he first saw the Patterson-Gimlin film while growing up in Washington. That early impression stayed with him, but it was a solo backpacking trip in 1980 to a remote lake in the Cascade Mountains that would leave him with questions he could not easily dismiss.During that trip, Norman heard a chilling wail in the night, discovered a large muddy footprint near his tent, and was overcome by an urgent, unexplainable feeling that he needed to leave immediately. As he made his way out, the sound of breaking branches behind him only deepened the mystery.After stepping away from the subject in the mid-1980s, Norman’s interest was reignited years later during a 2006 retreat in Illinois, where he witnessed a small, black, fuzzy-edged figure watching people from a distance.What first seemed strange and difficult to explain would later lead him to consider the possibility that he had seen a juvenile Sasquatch.Norman also shares a series of unusual experiences from Alaska and Massachusetts, including the feeling of being watched, possible structures, tracks, scat, tree breaks, strange vocalizations, possible eye shine, and unexplained knocks both near his home and along trails around his remote cabin. This is Part 1 of Brian’s conversation with Norman Solie, centered on Norman’s personal encounters and field experiences. Part 2 airs this Sunday and will focus on Norman’s book, Before Patty Volume One: Patrick The Sasquatch/Human Hybrid & Our Genetic Inheritance.

In this reflective episode, Brian opens up a conversation he's been turning over for a while now. Occam's razor, the principle he quotes on this show more than any other, and why it keeps walking back into the room every time he tries to make sense of a Sasquatch report, a piece of evidence, or a guest's wilder claim. He walks through what the principle actually says versus the bumper sticker version most people learn, why simple isn't really the right word for what Occam was getting at, and how a good razor cuts both ways for the lazy skeptic and the eager believer alike.Brian also gets honest, on the record, about his disagreement with Bill Munns on the new Capturing Bigfoot documentary and the forty second clip the filmmakers say was shot on 1966 film stock. With genuine respect for Bill and the work he's done, Brian walks through why the simplest explanation for that footage isn't the one Bill is offering, why he thinks Bill is working backward from a conclusion rather than forward from the evidence, and why the honest position is to keep both possibilities on the table while the rest of the story unfolds.From the witness record and dermal ridges to the Sierra Sounds, from his own 2024 sighting in Washington State to the absence of a body that remains the field's central problem, this episode lays out the biological case clearly and then turns to the part that's been on his mind lately.The shift among some of his guests toward an interdimensional, telepathic, paranormal Sasquatch, and the slippery slope of explaining one mystery by stacking another mystery on top of it.Brian closes with a hard look at citizen science.The documentation discipline he learned in the academy, the role of independent labs, the value of negative results, the trap of confirmation bias, and the patient work that eventually moved meteorites and the giant squid from myth to accepted science.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 is another installment of The Bigfoot Inquiry with Brian and Dr. Hogan Sherrow, and the guys open with the recent follow-up email from Bill Munns regarding the Patterson-Gimlin Film and the upcoming Capturing Bigfoot documentary before moving on to other topics.Brian narrated Bill's open letter in full on a recent Sasquatch Odyssey episode, and on this episode he and Hogan break down what Bill actually said and what it might mean. Bill doubles down on his position that the PGF is one hundred percent authentic, but in doing so he may have painted himself into a corner. If the forty-second clip in the new documentary turns out to look identical to Patty, then by Bill's own reasoning that clip has to be a man in a suit, which raises serious questions about the original film.Brian also pushes back on Bill's claim that the new clip was shot on 1966 Kodak film stock but possibly not used until 1970 or later, arguing that filmmakers are creatures of habit who use their film within a reasonable window of purchase.Hogan brings the scientific perspective and pushes back on Bill's use of absolute language, explaining that science does not prove anything to one hundred percent and that any such claim is a methodological red flag.He also takes issue with the assumption-based reasoning around the color of the foot, the angle of the step, and the supposed impossibility of anyone obtaining a Bigfoot suit. Both guys remind listeners that two things can be true at once, that the PGF could be a hoax and Bigfoot could still exist, and that everyone should reserve final judgment until they can see Capturing Bigfoot for themselves.From there the conversation moves to Sasquatch Ontario and Mike Patterson's announcement of a new book called The Invisible Giant, which Brian considers part of one of the longest-running hoaxes in the Bigfoot world. That leads into a broader discussion of the growing divide in the Bigfoot community, which Hogan compares to the ongoing chimpanzee civil war at the Ngogo community in Uganda, the largest chimp group ever documented.Hogan shares firsthand stories of being caught in the middle of chimp battles during his field research and explains how the loss of key social connectors can fracture a group, drawing a clear parallel to what is happening between the flesh-and-blood camp and the high-strangeness camp in Bigfoot research.Brian then previews his upcoming interview with David Bacara of the Expedition Bigfoot Museum in Blue Ridge, Georgia, and the guys discuss David's skepticism about Gigantopithecus and his belief that Sasquatch may be controlled by some other force. Hogan walks through the actual evidence for Gigantopithecus, including the Y-five dental pattern that identifies ape molars and the discovery of the original teeth being sold as dragon teeth in Chinese apothecary shops.The episode also covers Brian's edge theory for why Bigfoot sightings happen in suburban areas, the importance of Occam's razor when evaluating high-strangeness reports, and Hogan's closing public service announcement on the difference between territories and home ranges in primates.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 week on Sasquatch Odyssey, I sit down with Brett from Colorado, a lifelong outdoorsman, avid hunter, and longtime listener who finally decided to send his story in. What unfolds across this conversation is one of those grounded, no-frills encounters that I think hits harder than the big sexy sightings, because Brett isn't trying to sell you anything.He's a guy who grew up in the Colorado mountains, knows what belongs out there, and ran headfirst into something that didn't.Brett's first brush with the unknown happened when he was around 16 or 17 years old, somewhere in 2006 or 2007, while camping at the alpine lakes on the western side of I-25 in southern Colorado. A fire, a friend, a quiet night, and then a sound coming out of the tree line that didn't match anything he had ever heard in those mountains. He describes it as a howl, but a howl with bass to it, something guttural that didn't track as canine. His buddy went pale almost immediately and told him his grandpa had warned him about Bigfoot. That was the first time Brett had ever really heard the word in any serious way, and the wood knocks rolling in from the timber that night did the rest of the work. The bigger story, and the one that has stayed with him for almost twenty years now, happened in the summer of 2009 on a remote stretch of road between Durango and Alamosa. Brett, his now-wife, and his best friend Paul were on a road trip out to California after graduating high school. Somewhere south of the Four Corners, deep in unfamiliar country and lost off the MapQuest directions, a doe ran out in front of the Jeep and refused to leave the road. She kept pace in the headlights for a couple hundred yards, which any hunter will tell you is not normal deer behavior.Then Brett saw it on an embankment off the driver's side. Seven to ten feet tall, black and shaggy, and a pair of eyes he describes as Texas Longhorn orange catching the headlights and then dimming as he passed.His friend Paul, who comes from a Hispanic and Native American family, refused to discuss it for the next ten or fifteen miles down the road. When he finally broke, he confirmed everything Brett had seen, then immediately shut it back down with three words that get to the heart of so much of this phenomenon. We don't talk about him. Paul had been raised to believe that talking about this creature is what brings him around to take children. That cultural weight, that learned silence, is something I've explored on this show many times with Fred from Alaska and others, and Brett's experience puts a fresh face on it.We get into the wood knocks Brett heard up at the alpine lakes and how they compare to what I heard with Todd Standing up in Radium and what I've experienced right here on my own property in North Carolina.Brett describes the sound as more of a hollow whop than a wood-on-wood thud, and we talk through my growing belief, shaped by years of conversations with Doug Hajicek and Tom Powell, that a lot of these knocks are being made with the mouth and hand rather than with sticks or clubs. The simple reality is that you cannot walk into the woods and reliably find a piece of wood solid enough to produce that kind of report. The physics don't work.The conversation moves into eye shine, which is where Brett's hunting background really earns its keep. He breaks down the difference between the green and white shine you get off deer and elk, the yellow on cats and bears, and the quick flash of a mountain lion crossing a road, and then explains why what he saw that night fit none of it. The eyes were steady. They tracked the Jeep without flinching. The creature didn't move, didn't hide, didn't react the way anything in those woods is supposed to react.Brett's read, and I think it's a sharp one, is that the thing was hunting that doe and the Jeep just happened to roll into the middle of it.We spend real time on the question of why people clam up after these encounters, and Brett's answer is honest and uncomfortable. Most of the time it's not culture, it's social pressure. He had this conversation with his own parents after the sighting and got the standard dismissals. Probably a bear. You were tired. It was late. He's watched friends shut down their own stories mid-sentence at a bar because of how the table might react.His framing is one I appreciated. If you are comfortable with who you are, it shouldn't matter whether your best friend believes you. The story is yours either way.There's a moment in this episode I want to call out because it caught me off guard in the best way. Brett pauses the interview to ask me a question, which almost never happens on this show, and he proposes a theory about my own experiences filming My Bigfoot Life out in the Pacific Northwest in the summer of 2024. He suggests that the calm I felt during that night hike, when I was within ten feet of one of these things and chose to chase it up the ridge rather than retreat, is the same conditioned response that kicked in during my sixteen years in law enforcement, including the two times I was shot at on the job with the Atlanta Police Department. The sheepdog reflex. Run toward the danger, not away from it. I had never quite framed it that way myself, and he might be onto something.We close with Brett's confirmation moment, which came years after the sighting when a Native American truck driver from the Four Corners region described the exact same orange eyes on the exact same pass without Brett feeding him a single detail. That kind of independent corroboration, from a man whose culture has been quietly tracking this creature for centuries, is the kind of data point that doesn't show up in a documentary but matters more than most of what does.Brett's encouragement to anyone sitting on a story is the same encouragement I have been giving for years on this show. Send it in. It doesn't have to be five feet away. It doesn't have to come with video. Every account is another data point in a repository we are still building together, and the only way this conversation moves forward is if people stop swallowing what they saw.A huge thank you to Brett for trusting me with his story, for the great questions he turned back on me, and for being exactly the kind of grounded, thoughtful witness this subject needs more of.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, Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel speaks by phone with Patquah, an Inupiaq man originally from Utqiagvik who has spent years living in the Noatak River Valley.Their conversation explores subsistence living in Arctic Alaska, the nomadic history of the Inupiaq people, and the oral traditions passed down through generations to help hunters, travelers, and families understand the dangers of the land.Patquah shares accounts of strange lights, unexplained wilderness phenomena, and traditional warnings about “little people” said to inhabit remote areas of Alaska.These stories include descriptions of foot-tall mountain beings with red eyes and unusual strength, as well as child-sized figures wearing pointed hoods. Rather than framing these traditions as simple folklore or superstition, Patquah explains how elders used these stories as practical survival knowledge, teaching younger generations to respect the land, pay attention to signs, and avoid becoming careless in dangerous country.The conversation then turns to a recent and unsettling experience from April 21, 2026, during a snowmachine hunting trip near the Noatak–Kivalina trail in Northwest Alaska.While traveling through the area, Patquah heard a powerful, echoing scream that seemed to carry across the landscape and left him with the strong feeling that he was being watched. The following day, as weather conditions worsened and he and two companions briefly became disoriented, they spotted a large, dark, hairy figure sitting on a ridge. After viewing it through binoculars, the group chose to leave the area rather than approach.Patquah later learned that relatives and other hunters had reported similar screams and sightings in the region, adding another layer to an already compelling account.This episode blends Inupiaq oral tradition, Alaska Native cultural history, remote wilderness survival, and a modern hairy man encounter from the Mulgrave Hills and Noatak River Valley region.Click the link below to visit Fred’s Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel for more incredible encounter stories, traditional accounts, and unexplained experiences from the wilds of Alaska.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?

This episode marks the first official installment of our brand-new segment, The Bigfoot Inquiry — a new evidence-driven series where Brian King-Sharp and Dr. Hogan Sherrow take on the Bigfoot topics most people in the community either avoid, dismiss, or simply refuse to talk about honestly.This will most likely become a weekly segment, with Hogan and Brian digging into the claims, controversies, evidence, personalities, and long-standing debates that continue to shape the Sasquatch world.And for the first episode, there may be no bigger place to begin than with the most famous piece of Bigfoot evidence ever captured: the Patterson-Gimlin Film.For decades, the PGF has stood at the center of the Bigfoot debate. To some, it is the strongest visual evidence ever recorded of an unknown North American primate. To others, it is nothing more than a well-executed hoax. But with the release of the new documentary Capturing Bigfoot, new questions, perspectives, and claims are being brought into the conversation — some of which may challenge what we know, or at least what we think we know, about the film.So what happens when 16 years of law enforcement experience meets nearly 30 years of primate behavioral research? That's the foundation of The Bigfoot Inquiry.Hosted by former police officer Brian King-Sharp and Dr. Hogan Sherrow, PhD in Evolutionary Anthropology, this segment approaches the Sasquatch phenomenon through two very different but complementary lenses: real investigative procedure and scientific analysis. Brian brings 16 years of experience analyzing crime scenes, evaluating witness credibility, reconstructing events, and asking the uncomfortable questions that often separate assumption from evidence. Dr. Sherrow brings nearly three decades of studying primate behavioral ecology in the wild, with expertise in locomotion, habitat, social behavior, evolutionary biology, and the realities of how primates move, survive, adapt, and leave evidence behind. Together, Brian and Hogan examine Bigfoot claims with structure, skepticism, curiosity, and respect.In this debut episode, they dive into: The enduring mystery of the Patterson-Gimlin Film• Why the film still matters nearly six decades later• The arguments for and against its authenticity• The new questions raised by the Capturing Bigfoot documentary• What law enforcement-style analysis can bring to the PGF debate• What primate behavior and evolutionary anthropology can reveal• Why some evidence deserves closer scrutiny — even when it makes people uncomfortable.This is not campfire storytelling. It is not blind belief. And it is not mockery. It is structured inquiry Because if Sasquatch exists, the evidence should be able to withstand scrutiny. And if it does not — we will say that too.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 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.

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. If this episode means something to you, share it with somebody who needs to hear it.And if you've got a story of your own you've been holding onto, you know where to send 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.

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?

Jason joins Sasquatch Odyssey for a wild ride through the unexplained, beginning with his lifelong fascination with Sasquatch and family stories of possible Bigfoot activity in Pennsylvania and Missouri. From eerie howls, possible mimicry, and strange sounds in the woods to a deeper conversation about Bigfoot behavior, credibility, and encounter patterns, this episode dives into the kind of firsthand testimony that keeps the Sasquatch mystery alive.But this conversation does not stop there.Jason also shares chilling paranormal experiences from Gettysburg Battlefield, including shadow figures, unexplained voices, phantom footsteps, and the kind of heavy atmosphere that has made Gettysburg one of the most haunted locations in America. Along the way, I also play a few audio clips that add even more depth to the discussion and help bring some of these strange moments to life.We wrap things up with Jason’s possible UFO sighting in North Carolina, where three strange lights hung silently in the low clouds above a stop sign in Lexington.

The odyssey reaches new heights as Brian Patterson shares some of the strangest and most profound encounters ever documented on the show. From a North Carolina camper who experienced unexplainable visions of an ancient forest to an Oregon mother whose lost daughter was safely returned by a gentle, hair-covered giant, these accounts push beyond simple sightings into territory that challenges everything we think we know about these creatures. The podcast also faces its greatest crisis when a retired biology professor's elaborate hoax nearly destroys everything Brian has built.The fallout is devastating, but with Daniel's unwavering support, Brian rebuilds stronger than ever with rigorous new verification procedures that earn the community's trust back.The story goes global as witnesses from Tibet, the Congo Basin, Papua New Guinea, and Siberia share encounters that mirror North American reports in stunning detail. A Lakota elder speaks of the Big Man as ancient guardians of the wild places. A Stanford primatologist risks her career to validate the evidence.And the Sasquatch Odyssey community grows into a worldwide network of researchers, witnesses, and believers united by shared experience. As the show hits its five hundredth episode, Brian finally tells his own story in full for the first time. But there's no time to rest. New thermal evidence and a late-night expedition deep into the backcountry deliver the most compelling footage yet captured. The men in black are watching again, the truth is spreading faster than anyone can contain it, and the odyssey is far from over.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?
