BWBS Ep:112 Hunters Kill Bigfoot

In this episode, we explore one of the most disturbing and unforgettable stories ever told on Coast to Coast AM. A man calling himself “Bugs” phoned in with a confession that sounded more like a campfire ghost story—except he claimed it really happened.Back in the early 1970s, Bugs and a fellow hunter were out spotlighting illegally in the dense woods of Texas when they spotted what they first thought were bears.But as the figures stepped into the light, it became clear they were looking at something else entirely: two tall, broad-shouldered creatures walking upright, covered in hair, with faces that looked eerily human. Without hesitation, the men opened fire.According to Bugs, they dragged the bodies away and buried them in a shallow grave—then vowed never to speak of it again. But decades later, the memory was still eating at him.He called in not for fame, but out of guilt, fear, and the need to unload a secret he’d carried for most of his life.We revisit the full account: the setting, the killing, the horrifying realization that these might not have been animals at all—and the eerie calm in Bugs’ voice as he recounts it. Along the way, we’ll look at how this story fits into the broader world of Bigfoot lore, the culture of poaching in that era, and the strange intersection of trauma and the paranormal.It’s a tale that raises uncomfortable questions about what we believe, what we suppress, and how far people go to bury the truth.If you’ve ever wondered what it would really feel like to kill a legend, this is the story that makes you think twice.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?
