Sasquatch Odyssey

What happens when everyday life collides with something that—according to everything we've been taught—shouldn't exist? In this spine-tingling episode, we bring you three firsthand accounts from the misty forests of the Pacific Northwest, each told by witnesses who never sought the spotlight yet can never forget what they saw. These aren't campfire yarns or shaky-cam curiosities.  Story One – “The Trail Cam”A quiet suburban homeowner in Washington sets up a motion-triggered camera to catch whatever's overturning his garbage cans at night. The footage he captures upends his sense of safety and pulls him into a months-long game of cat-and-mouse with a creature that seems to be studying him just as closely.Story Two – “The Logging Road”Deep in the Cascades, two seasoned loggers begin finding outsized footprints, catching echoes of guttural calls, and sensing an intelligence tracking their every move. When they finally meet the eyes of what's been shadowing them, they realize the woods they've worked for decades may never have belonged to humans at all.Story Three – “The Night Shift”On patrol outside an isolated research facility, a security guard hears strange knocks and vocalizations drifting in from the treeline. His curiosity evolves into a groundbreaking—and chilling—attempt at back-and-forth communication with an unknown primate species that refuses to stay hidden.These encounters will challenge your assumptions about what roams beyond the trailhead and what it wants from us.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In this episode, I take you deep into the swamps of Fouke, Arkansas, where a local legend was born — the Fouke Monster. Long before the creature hit the silver screen, sightings and eerie encounters haunted this small town, with reports of a large, hairy, ape-like creature roaming the countryside and terrifying locals. But everything changed when filmmaker Charles B. Pierce showed up and turned these stories into The Legend of Boggy Creek, a low-budget film that would unexpectedly become a cult classic and help define cryptid pop culture.The movie mixed documentary-style storytelling with reenactments, blurring the line between fact and fiction. As word spread, the Fouke Monster became nationally known, drawing curious visitors, researchers, and monster hunters to the area. While some locals embraced the attention and the tourist dollars, others were less thrilled. Many felt the film sensationalized their town, exploited their stories, and painted Fouke as a backwoods oddity.The sudden spotlight brought tension, with residents divided over whether the legend was a blessing or a curse.In this episode, I unpack the original sightings that sparked the legend, the behind-the-scenes story of how The Legend of Boggy Creek came to be, and the complicated relationship between Fouke's residents and the monster that put their town on the map.Whether you're into cryptids, true stories, or indie film history, this one goes beyond the myth and digs into the messy reality behind one of America's strangest legends.Join Mireya's Explorer Society Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Every so often, something hits the inbox that stops me in my tracks. This is one of those emails.In this episode, I'm sharing a message from a man named Marcus—someone who claims to be a former member of a secretive military unit tasked with cleaning up after encounters with cryptids, aliens, and other classified threats. Bigfoot. Dogman. UFOs. You name it—he says he's seen it, and worse.But the reason Marcus reached out? That's where things get truly unsettling.According to him, his unit was deployed to deal with a terrifying incident involving feral people—a group deep in the wilderness responsible for a string of disappearances and brutal killings. He claims they weren't just wild… they were organized. Dangerous. Predatory.If you've listened to That Bigfoot Podcast, you'll know Wayne and I have talked about feral people in the Appalachians before. And while it sounds like the stuff of horror movies, there are documented cases of strange disappearances and alleged human predators in remote areas. Marcus's email adds a new layer to that disturbing possibility.Let me be clear:I cannot verify Marcus's identity or his story. This is not presented as fact. But it was compelling, detailed, and dark enough that I felt it was worth sharing with you.⚠️ LISTENER DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVISED.This episode contains graphic descriptions of violence, death, and intense combat scenarios involving humans, cryptids, and alleged non-human entities. It is absolutely not suitable for children or sensitive listeners.Whether you believe Marcus or not, what he describes is chilling—and once you hear it, you won't forget it.Join Mireya's Explorer Society Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Over the span of five decades, from the remote forests of Washington State to the wilderness of Maine, six individuals had experiences that would forever change how they viewed the natural world. A hunter in 1987, a park ranger in 1974, a wilderness guide in 1965, a hiker in 1992, a search and rescue volunteer in 2003, and a backpacker in 2019—all encountered something that shouldn't exist.These are their stories, told in their own words. Six different people, separated by thousands of miles and decades of time, yet describing remarkably similar encounters with something large, intelligent, and undeniably real lurking in America's most remote wilderness areas.From the Olympic Peninsula's ancient rainforests to the volcanic landscape of Mount St. Helens, from the North Woods of Maine to the glacial wilderness of Minnesota, these witnesses share one thing in common: they came face to face with something that defied explanation and left them forever changed.No campfire tales.

Everyone's seen the film. That brief, haunting footage shot in the woods of Bluff Creek, California in 1967—claimed by many to be the most compelling evidence of Bigfoot ever captured on camera.But the real story? It didn't unfold in front of the lens. It happened behind it.In this episode, we go deeper than the grainy frames and legendary figure striding into the forest. We explore the lives of Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin—the two men who filmed it—and the toll that single day would take on both of them. Patterson, a true believer, would spend the rest of his short life chasing the unknown, building plans for expeditions he would never complete. Gimlin, the reluctant witness, was hounded into silence for decades before finally re-emerging as the last living link to that day.We also examine the conflicting claims, the so-called costume designer who came forward years later without receipts or replicas, and the enduring mystery that refuses to fade.Behind every famous event, there are the people who lived it.

What happens when curiosity becomes obsession—and the wild starts watching back?In this episode, we journey deep into the heart of cryptozoological mystery, where strange creatures aren't the only things lurking in the dark. From remote mountain ranges to disaster zones veiled in smoke and secrecy, we follow the breadcrumbs left by researchers, explorers, and locals who claim to have seen the impossible—and sometimes paid the price for speaking out.You'll hear accounts that defy easy explanation: humanoid figures glimpsed in fog-draped valleys, fieldwork that ends in silence and blood, and eerie patterns of vanishing evidence. As the line blurs between folklore and field science, one question echoes through every story: what aren't we supposed to find out? This isn't just a tour of cryptid lore—it's a confrontation with the hidden cost of seeking the truth in places the world forgot. Expect shadowy encounters, vanished research, and the uncomfortable possibility that some legends are protected by more than just disbelief. Because in the world of cryptids, it's not always the creature you need to fear—it's what happens after you find it.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Tonight I share  five extraordinary encounters with unexplained forest beings across five decades and thousands of miles of American wilderness, told by witnesses who never met yet describe remarkably similar experiences.Olympic Peninsula, Washington - 1968 & 1973 A fire lookout witnesses a massive bipedal creature investigating a log in the remote Olympics. The witness describes intelligence in the being's eyes and the sensation of being observed. Years later, while hunting, he encounters multiple creatures communicating through wood knocks and territory marking with strategically broken trees.Adirondack Mountains, New York - 1976 & 1988 A biology graduate student conducting acid rain research experiences terrifying vocalizations and heavy bipedal footsteps circling her camp. Twelve years later, while camping with her husband, they both witness the same wood-knocking communication and glimpse a large, hair-covered figure—validating her earlier encounter and challenging her scientific understanding.Ozark Mountains, Arkansas - 1985 & 1997 An experienced hunter describes a creature methodically untying a rope supporting their game—showing dexterity and problem-solving unlike any known wildlife. Despite having a clear shot, he chooses not to fire after recognizing intelligence in the creature's eyes. His second encounter while hunting with his teenage son reveals territorial behavior through wood knocks and stone throwing.Great Smoky Mountains, North Carolina - 2002 & 2005 A pastor on a solitary retreat encounters unusual branch arrangements and "offerings." He describes the creatures' apparent response to prayer, adding a spiritual dimension to the encounter. Years later, with his young nephew, they witness coordinated movement around their camp and discover a precisely arranged pile of pinecones topped with a wild strawberry.Humboldt County, California - 2019 & 2022 A wildlife biologist in California's redwood forests provides our most technical account, describing coordinated group behavior, tool use, and possible communication attempts. Her scientific training allows detailed analysis of vocalizations with infrasonic components and footprints suggesting creatures weighing 600-700 pounds moving with bipedal locomotion unlike any known mammal. What makes these accounts compelling is the consistent behavioral patterns described by witnesses separated by thousands of miles and decades: the same wood knocking communication, branch breaking patterns, gift exchanges, and sense of being observed by something intelligent yet non-human.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Tonight, Brian shares the never-before-told story of Thomas, a fur trapper whose life was forever changed after a terrifying encounter with sasquatch in the remote Canadian wilderness during February 1987. This first-hand account challenges everything we think we know about these mysterious creatures. What Mercer experienced reveals them to be intelligent, communicative, and potentially dangerous beings with complex social structures and territorial behaviors. His haunting experience raises profound questions about what these creatures truly are and our responsibility toward them.The story begins as Thomas, a third-generation fur trapper, flies his bush plane to his remote family cabin in the Northwest Territories to begin his winter trapping season. Almost immediately upon arrival, Mercer discovers massive, human-like footprints circling his cabin—nearly 20 inches long with a stride length twice that of a human.Over the following days, Mercer encounters increasingly bizarre evidence: traps carefully disarmed with ritualistic arrangements of objects nearby, complex vocal communications between multiple creatures echoing through the forest, and deliberate attempts to test his cabin's defenses through systematic tapping and probing of the structure.Most chilling of all, the creatures attempt direct communication.First through arrangements of natural objects in geometric patterns, then through mimicked human speech—even speaking Mercer's name and referring to his deceased father. In broken English, they suggest they need an "alliance" against other humans hunting them, hinting at a government or private organization aware of their existence.When Mercer attempts to escape in his plane, he's forced to shoot one of the creatures that charges him from behind. In a moment that has haunted him for decades, the wounded sasquatch looks him in the eye and asks simply, "Why?"In the thirty years since this encounter, Mercer has dedicated his life to sasquatch research, building one of the most comprehensive private databases of encounters in North America.Through his research, he discovered another harrowing account from the Olympic Peninsula, where a logging crew's encounter ended in a gruesome death—evidence that these beings aren't always the gentle forest giants of popular imagination.We should note that this episode contains descriptions of violence and disturbing content that may not be suitable for all listeners. Discretion is advised.Thomas Mercer, whose name has been changed at his request, was 25 years old during his encounter in 1987. Now in his sixties, he's spent decades researching similar encounters while maintaining his anonymity. This marks the first time he's shared his complete story publicly.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

 In this episode, Fred shares two intense encounters from the Bristol Bay area in Alaska.

In this episode, we take you deep into the woods of Murphy, North Carolina—just before a night hike during a recent expedition. As the sun dipped behind the mountains and the forest began to settle into its nighttime rhythm, we gathered near an old concrete pillar to hear a story that stopped us in our tracks.Kenny, a quiet and grounded voice in the group, shared an experience he and his son had just yards from where we stood. Late one night, they came face-to-face with something massive, strange, and completely out of place. It was nearly invisible until they were almost on top of it—its shape and presence only registering when it was far too close for comfort.In this raw, on-location recording, Kenny walks us through that night: the moment of the sighting, the unsettling details of the creature's appearance, and what he discovered afterward. Other witnesses. Unexplained lights in the sky. Patterns that point to something lurking in these mountains—something that doesn't want to be seen.This episode captures the start of our night hike and the kind of story you only hear when the campfire's burning low and the forest feels like it's listening in.Whether you're a skeptic, believer, or somewhere in between, one thing's for sure—this one stays with you.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In today's special storytelling episode, I'm thrilled to share an original tale I've created called "The Unlikely Guardians:  Bigfoot Saves Easter. This heartwarming adventure follows Bartholomew, the last Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest, whose carefully isolated life is upended when he discovers a set of unusual footprints in the late winter snow. Following them leads to an encounter with none other than Edmund Cottontail, the Easter Bunny himself, who is in desperate need of help. The magical Egg of Renewal has been stolen by Jack Frost, threatening to trap the world in endless winter and prevent Easter from happening at all.What follows is a journey across magical landscapes as these natural opposites—a reclusive wilderness dweller and the embodiment of spring celebration—form an unlikely alliance. Their adventure takes them through ancient forests, across frozen plains, and eventually to the edge of reality itself as they confront not just Jack Frost but the shadowy powers manipulating him. Throughout their quest, Bart and Edmund discover that their differences actually create a perfect harmony when combined with Jack's winter magic, forming a balanced force capable of restoring nature's cycles.The story explores how friendship can emerge in the most unexpected places, and how the balance between wilderness, winter, and renewal is essential for the natural world to flourish. We witness Bart's transformation from a solitary observer who has hidden from the world for centuries into someone who finds purpose in connection and community. It's a modern fairy tale about how isolation ends when we open ourselves to new possibilities and how seemingly opposite forces can unite for a greater purpose.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In this chilling episode, we dive deep into the mysterious Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, where moonshine and monsters collide in a story that spans generations. Join us as we unravel the tale of Jim, a master moonshiner whose knowledge of the mountains led to prosperity—and ultimately, his mysterious disappearance in 1972. This haunting narrative, told from the perspective of his grandson, explores how Jim used the feared presence of Sasquatch creatures to keep revenue agents and competitors away from his illegal stills in an area locals called "Booger Holler." But as we'll discover, nature always collects its debts, and some territories should never be trespassed—no matter how profitable they might be.This haunting tale explores themes of territory, respect for nature, and the price of hubris. The Appalachian Mountains have long been home to tales of strange creatures and unexplained phenomena, with "Booger" being a common mountain term for ghost or monster. While science may not acknowledge the existence of Sasquatch, many mountain communities have their own stories of encounters with something not quite human that protects the deepest, most isolated hollows.Moonshining itself has a rich history in the Appalachians, where distilling skills were passed down through generations and became both an economic necessity and a point of cultural pride for many families. The tension between moonshiners and "revenuers" (federal agents) created a perfect environment for legends to thrive—especially those that kept strangers away from secret still locations.Listener DiscretionThis episode contains descriptions of implied violence and intense situations that may not be suitable for younger listeners.

In this week's episode, I share an extraordinary story from a man named Dale who experienced something truly remarkable in the North Georgia mountains during the summer of 1983. What began as an innocent fishing and camping trip for two fourteen-year-old boys turned into an encounter that would haunt them for the rest of their lives.Dale's story takes us down the Chattooga River, where he and his childhood friend Brad embarked on what should have been a straightforward seven-day journey. Armed with fishing gear, a fourteen-foot flat-bottom aluminum boat, and the confidence of youth, they set off into the wilderness, unaware of what awaited them.The tale unfolds night by night, as the boys begin experiencing strange phenomena – unusual sounds echoing through the forest, eerie silences descending without warning, and the discovery of massive, unexplainable footprints along the riverbank. These mysterious occurrences gradually escalate, from wood knocking communications in the darkness to the shocking moment when an unseen creature tears apart their steel mesh fish basket to steal their prized catfish.The heart of Dale's account centers on their direct encounters with what appear to be Sasquatch creatures – tall, powerful beings that seemed not to threaten the boys, but rather to warn them away from continuing downstream. The story raises fascinating questions: What danger lurked further downriver that even these formidable creatures feared? Why did they choose to interact with two young humans rather than simply avoiding them?Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In this chilling episode of National Park Nightmares, we explore two of the most unsettling disappearances in America's wild places—stories where the line between accident and something darker blurs beyond recognition.First, we return to 1958 and the shadowy slopes of Mount Meeker in Colorado. Ten-year-old Bobby Bizup vanished from Camp St. Malo, a Catholic boys' camp near Rocky Mountain National Park. Deaf, trusting, and familiar with the camp, Bobby was last seen leaving a fishing spot alone. Despite an exhaustive search, his remains weren't found until a year later—by a counselor who was also one of the last people to see him alive. Decades later, shocking revelations surfaced: that same counselor, Neil Hewitt, along with other clergy members from the camp, were later exposed as prolific abusers. Federal investigators are now reopening Bobby's case, fueled by new evidence—including the discovery of Bobby's missing skull in the possession of a Colorado family tied to the camp's leadership. What really happened to Bobby Bizup? And why did the people meant to protect him fail him so completely?Then we move to Yosemite National Park, 1981. Fourteen-year-old Stacey Ann Arras disappears during a short walk from Sunrise High Sierra Camp. Last seen standing on a rock near camp, she simply vanished. Despite an intensive search, not a single clue was found. No tracks. No belongings. Nothing. How does a teenager disappear in plain sight on a sunny afternoon? Forty years later, we still don't have answers.These are stories of innocence lost in America's most beautiful—and unforgiving—places. Stories where nature's silence speaks volumes, and where the wilderness may hide more than we can imagine.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMVisit HIMS.COMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

 In this gripping narrative, a Fred recounts the harrowing experience he faced with his young son in the Alaskan wilderness. Armed with a 45-70 rifle, he was prepared to protect his son from an unseen threat perceived to be lurking in the dense brush. When they reached their cabin, they found it in disarray, with signs of intrusion, a pungent smell, and objects thrown around. The tension escalated with eerie shrieks and the sight of strange creatures near them. Despite the chaotic and terrifying situation, he managed to get his son into their plane, which he had to manually maneuver for takeoff while under threat. The story concludes with a relieving escape but leaves a lasting impact, with an underlying layer of the son's unspoken encounter, implying something far more mysterious and mind-bending. Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In this episode, we dive deep into the rich and often overlooked indigenous history of what we now call Sasquatch or Bigfoot. Drawing from centuries of oral traditions and documented encounters, we explore how Native American and First Nations peoples across North America have long maintained detailed knowledge of these forest beings. Brian shares personal experiences with these creatures while acknowledging the importance of maintaining healthy skepticism about evidence. The episode highlights the remarkable consistency in descriptions from tribes that had no contact with one another – from physical characteristics like height and hair covering to behaviors such as wood knocking and whistling communications.We journey across the continent, examining traditions from the Pacific Northwest's Coast Salish peoples (who gave us the term "Sasquatch"), the California tribes' accounts of Oh-mah, the Lakota's sacred Chiye-tanka, and many others. The narrative explores how these weren't simply folk tales but sophisticated ecological knowledge embedded with practical information about forest stewardship and proper protocols for respecting all beings.The episode also addresses the impact of colonization on these traditions, including missionary suppression and boarding schools that disrupted knowledge transmission. Despite these challenges, we learn how many tribes are now revitalizing these traditions through cultural preservation programs, educational initiatives, and even formal research partnerships that blend traditional knowledge with contemporary scientific methods.Listeners will gain insight into the diverse perspectives within indigenous communities today – from those who maintain literal belief in these beings to those who interpret the traditions metaphorically as embodiments of ecological relationships. Throughout the episode, we examine how these ancient traditions align with modern encounters, suggesting continuity of experience across cultures and time periods.Whether you're a dedicated Sasquatch researcher, interested in indigenous knowledge systems, or simply curious about one of North America's most enduring mysteries, this episode offers a respectful and comprehensive look at a subject that bridges the ancient and contemporary, the spiritual and the scientific.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Paul describes an eerie experience from 1972 near Birches, Alaska, where a group of men were stalked by a mysterious nine-foot creature while on a prospective business trip. The story details their terrifying retreat to a cabin and the subsequent night filled with menacing encounters. Similarly, Cody retells his unsettling solo journey in 2020 to the Russian Lake trails on the Kenai Peninsula. Despite the magnificent scenery, Cody's experience quickly turned nightmarish with strange occurrences, including his cart being tossed violently and an ominous foreboding presence haunting him throughout his stay. Both narratives capture the unknown dangers lurking in Alaska's wilderness, leaving listeners questioning what's really out there.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMVisit HIMS.COM 00:00 Introduction and Setting the Scene 00:02 Paul's Encounter in 1972 02:04 The Mysterious Scream 03:31 The Stalking Begins 07:50 The Cabin Confrontation 18:35 Morning After the Encounter 20:41 Cody's Story Begins 22:16 The Eerie Quiet 25:49 The Cart Incident 28:54 The Night of Terror 36:47 The Escape and Reflection 41:15 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In today's episode, I take you on a journey that I never thought I'd find myself on—a path that starts with grounded skepticism and leads into the extraordinary world of telepathic communication, autistic savants, and the high-strangeness phenomenon often associated with Sasquatch encounters.It all began with a recent interview I conducted with a Sasquatch encounter witness. During our conversation, they mentioned a podcast called The Telepathy Tapes, and their insights triggered a deep dive into something I've always been reluctant to explore: telepathy. As someone with years of experience as a police officer on the streets of Atlanta, I've always prided myself on sticking to facts, instinct, and a nuts-and-bolts approach to investigation. But sometimes the facts lead you somewhere unexpected—and that's exactly what happened here.In this episode, we cover:Spelling to Communicate (S2C): A method empowering non-verbal autistic individuals to express complex thoughts and feelings, and how this practice challenges our understanding of cognitive ability and communication.The Groundbreaking Work of Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell: Her studies on telepathy among non-verbal autistic individuals, with jaw-dropping results that point to the reality of PSI phenomena.Rupert Sheldrake's Animal Telepathy Research: How his experiments with dogs and other animals add weight to the argument that telepathic communication may not be limited to humans.Christopher Noël's Sasquatch Savant Theory: Could Sasquatch be an autistic savant species? We explore this controversial but compelling theory and its potential implications.My Personal Interviews: First-hand accounts from credible individuals who describe “mind-speak” encounters with Sasquatch. We explore what they experienced, the emotions they felt, and the questions these encounters raise.PSI Abilities and Sasquatch: How PSI, a term for psychic or paranormal phenomena like telepathy and precognition, might explain some of the strange abilities attributed to Sasquatch in witness reports.Throughout the episode, I pose one fundamental question: If there's nothing to these claims, where did they come from? Why are these stories so consistent across time, geography, and culture?As someone who has walked the fine line between the “flesh and blood” and “high strangeness” camps of Sasquatch research, I invite you to come along on this journey of discovery. It's not about having all the answers—it's about being open to new possibilities as we gather more evidence and listen to the voices of those who have had profound, life-changing experiences.

Welcome to first episode in a series of National Park Nightmares, a deep dive into some of the most mysterious disappearances that have taken place in America's vast and often unforgiving national parks. In this first episode of the series, we explore four baffling cases of individuals who vanished under strange and unexplained circumstances: Dennis Martin, Thelma Pauline Melton, Bessie and Glen Hyde, and Trenny Gibson. Each of these cases presents unique and unsettling elements that leave us questioning what forces might be at play in the depths of the wilderness. These are not merely stories of people getting lost. Many of these cases involve eerie coincidences, missing evidence, and witnesses reporting odd details that defy conventional explanations. As we embark on this series, we aim to investigate the facts while respecting the families of the missing, acknowledging the pain they have endured, and ensuring that these individuals are not forgotten. Some speculate that unknown elements—whether natural, human, or even cryptid—may be involved in these disappearances. While we are not here to promote any particular theory, we cannot ignore that fact is sometimes stranger than fiction.Cases Covered in This Episode:

In this episode, Brian traveled up to meet Ron Morehead at his house for a sit down "face to face" interview, to discuss his decades-long investigation into mysterious Bigfoot vocalizations. Morehead recalls his early involvement with hunters in the Sierra Nevada mountains, the skepticism from prominent cryptozoologists, and the rigorous studies conducted by professionals like Dr. R. Lynn Kirlin and cryptolinguist Scott Nelson. The conversation explores the unique experiences at the remote hunting camp, including multiple encounters, footprint discoveries, and peculiar phenomena possibly explained by quantum physics. Morehead also touches upon telepathic communication theories and shares his insights on human specialness and consciousness evolution. The episode concludes with reflections on past investigations and the hopeful anticipation for ongoing studies and sharing of unreleased audio recordings in an upcoming documentary. Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMVisit HIMS.COM00:00 Introduction and Background 00:18 Early Encounters and Recordings 01:23 Skepticism and Scientific Validation 02:42 Personal Sightings and Experiences 06:33 Quantum Science and Bigfoot 21:20 Footprints and Evidence 24:20 Gatekeeping in the Bigfoot Community 26:28 Cosmic Beings and Hybridization Programs 26:51 Learning and Karma: The Human Experience 27:41 Anunnaki Influence and Mythology 28:14 Recording Experiences and Environmental Factors 29:17 Bigfoot Encounters and Vocalization Patterns 30:41 Linguistic Analysis and Communication 36:49 Infrasound and Physical Effects 39:18 Quantum Theory and Bigfoot Energy 41:02 The Famous Bigfoot 911 Call 44:11 Unreleased Sierra Sounds 48:16 Reflections and Final ThoughtsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
