What happens when everyday people step into the woods and come face-to-face with something they can't explain? In this raw and unfiltered episode of the Bigfoot Society podcast, host Jeremiah Byron shares a chilling collection of first-hand encounters pulled from live call-ins across the United States and beyond. From a seven-foot figure peering around a house near Waitt's Mountain outside Boston… to whistled replies in the Texas wilderness… to rocks hurled in Alabama's backcountry… and even a trail camera capture in the forests of British Columbia — each account pushes the boundary between folklore and terrifying reality. You'll hear stories from Malden, Walpole, Tamworth, Bankhead National Forest, Oakmulgee WMA, and the Willamette National Forest of Oregon, including moments where glowing eyes, massive footprints, and even towering twenty-foot figures left witnesses shaken to their core. More than just campfire stories, these testimonies explore the violent, unpredictable, and deeply mysterious side of Sasquatch encounters — and what happens when the unknown decides to show itself.

What happens when an Alaskan medevac pilot takes a jet boat deep into the backcountry — and finds himself surrounded on all sides by owl calls that may not have been owls at all? In this chilling and eye-opening episode, we sit down with Craig, a longtime Fairbanks resident and pilot, who has spent decades listening to native Alaskans, nurses, ferry workers, and even fellow pilots share their raw encounters with Sasquatch. From owl-imitations along the Teklanika River, to jet pilots spotting “dark figures in the middle of nowhere” over Prince of Wales Island, to aggressive howls, glowing eyes, and vanishing presences across Alaska's wilderness, Craig reveals what happens when you simply ask the question most people are afraid to. You'll hear stories spanning Ketchikan, Dillingham, Bethel, the Denali Highway, Mount St. Helens, and even Fort Lewis — with whispered connections to portals, spirit worlds, and government secrets. This episode isn't just about sightings — it's about the violent, otherworldly edge of Sasquatch that few dare to discuss.

What happens when a Missouri man buys land in the foothills — only to discover he isn't alone out there? In this chilling episode, we sit down with David, who shares a lifetime of encounters stretching from Delaware to Florida to the backwoods of St. Francois County, Missouri.From barefoot tracks in the snow outside his childhood home… to 18-inch prints at 12 Mile Creek… to a terrifying night in 2017 when a massive Sasquatch pressed against his shed, stole eggs, and left him frozen with fear — David recounts the moments that changed his life forever. You'll hear about tree knocks, chest-shaking howls, infrasound growls, and the night he locked eyes with a towering 9-foot creature standing in the fork of an oak tree.More than just a sighting, this is a raw and violent firsthand account of what happens when the shadows of Missouri's forests come alive.

Then, a story is discussed about a UK man who claims to have been unable to sleep for two years, detailing his horrifying physical and mental deterioration. 00:20:00 – Comets, Conspiracies & Star Trek Parallels The conversation continues about the sleepless man before shifting to a baffling space object called 3I-ATLAS. It's discussed as possibly being a probe or alien craft, with a supposed leaked NASA memo suggesting it's under intelligent control. The team humorously compares it to Star Trek plots involving alien communication. 00:30:00 – Bigfoot Corpse at the State Fair A man named “Snake” claims to have found and displayed a Bigfoot corpse at the New York State Fair. The hosts express skepticism, noting the suspicious nature of the body and lack of video evidence. Local news coverage is played, showing the man's enthusiastic claims about battling Bigfoots and showcasing the corpse to fairgoers. 00:40:00 – Critique of the Bigfoot Body & State Fair Highlights Further discussion of the suspect Bigfoot corpse ensues. It's described as looking like a glued-together arts and crafts project. The hosts then shift to reviewing the New York State Fair offerings—deep-fried food, rooster crowing contests, and odd musical acts. A humorous critique of tribute bands and bizarre fair events follows. 00:50:00 – Skull with a Stalagmite & Mayo Firestarter The show shifts to a 300,000-year-old skull found in Greece with a stalagmite growing through it, puzzling scientists. Then, a man in Spain is arrested for setting a café on fire after being denied mayonnaise. The team jokes about male rage, potential mayo clinics, and cultural condiment preferences. 01:00:00 – Stablecoins, Chinese Students & AI Mayhem Discussion jumps to financial headlines, including stablecoins potentially draining bank deposits and Donald Trump proposing to allow 600,000 Chinese students into U.S. colleges. The team jokes about “China” using an old Trump clip. News is also covered about a Saudi-built Islamic AI chatbot and a hacker who used AI to conduct a massive cyberattack. 01:10:00 – AI-Powered Cybercrime & Tacos The cyberattack details are expanded, noting how a hacker used AI to write ransomware demands and find exploitable data. Then, attention turns to a taco-eating contest in San Antonio offering a $10,000 prize. The sign-up has already closed, disappointing the hosts. Joe is humorously nominated to compete. 01:20:00 – Taco Contest Fallout & Zuckerberg's Bunkers Further complaints about the closed taco contest continue. The show then dives into Mark Zuckerberg's massive compound in Palo Alto, where he handed out noise-canceling headphones to neighbors due to constant construction. The hosts mock the billionaire's efforts to maintain privacy while disrupting the neighborhood with “hydro floors” and private schools. 01:30:00 – Zuckerberg's Noise Diplomacy The crew wraps up their critiques of Zuckerberg's sprawling estate, suggesting his gestures like wine and doughnuts to neighbors are tone-deaf. There's some light commentary on his bizarre bunker expansions and the absurdity of Silicon Valley billionaires. 01:40:00 – Orgy Dome Controversy at Burning Man The team discusses a controversy involving someone being kicked out of the “Orgy Dome” at Burning Man for witnessing something disturbing. They mock the corporatization of Burning Man, suggesting brands like Little Caesars or Taco Cabana might soon sponsor the orgy tent. An Instagram photo of the dome's condition is referenced, and there's satire about how far the festival has strayed from its roots. 01:50:00 – Pumpkin Spice Chaos & White Elephant Nightmares A bizarre story unfolds about someone ordering 25 pounds of pumpkin spice online, leading to jokes about spice jungles and white elephant gifts. The team riffs on absurd workplace gift exchanges, packages with suspicious wrapping, and household pumpkin spice overloads—flavored water, scented air, and even garden tools. The hosts end on this autumnal madness with a final round of laughs.

What happens when a Florida hunter stumbles onto more than just deer in the palmettos? In this gripping and emotional episode, we sit down with Stephen, a traditional bow maker whose life was forever changed one Thanksgiving morning in 1995. Deep inside Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area, Stephen and his hunting partner came face to face with not one — but two Sasquatch, including a massive black female clutching what may have been a baby or a pregnancy.Stephen recounts eerie moments from the swamps — snapped oak branches, thunderous bipedal chases, and the unforgettable sight of a bow-legged creature fleeing into the palmettos. We also trace his early childhood encounter in Massachusetts, the footprint discovery in Indiana, and the anxiety that followed these life-altering experiences.From Island Pond to Johnson Slough, this episode digs into what it means to be a knower — and why one family of swamp apes left a hunter forever changed. More than just a sighting, this story raises questions about fear, belief, and the truths hiding in our forests.

Tonight's guest, Don Widner, has been hunting and tracking Sasquatch for 8 years now, in Western Kentucky. Due to his interest in Sasquatch, he is the founder and president of Western Kentucky Bigfoot and Paranormal Investigations LLC.

That was his first experience with a Sasquatch, but it wasn't his last one. We hope you'll tune in and listen to him share the details of that experience and more.

Six veteran law enforcement officers break their silence about encounters that challenged everything they thought they knew about the wilderness they patrol. From a deputy sheriff responding to escalating wildlife complaints at a remote Washington property, to a state trooper whose routine traffic stop on a foggy Kentucky highway became anything but ordinary, these firsthand accounts reveal what happens when those sworn to serve and protect come face to face with something that shouldn't exist.Travel across America through the eyes of the officers who documented the evidence that was later buried in bureaucracy. A park ranger's search and rescue operation in Northern California that uncovered more than missing hikers. A Michigan deputy's investigation into vandalism at abandoned copper mines that led deep underground. An Alaska state trooper's encounter on the desolate Dalton Highway where something survived impossible Arctic conditions. A Texas deputy's missing person case in the Big Thicket that ended with an inexplicable recovery.These aren't campfire tales or local legends.These are detailed accounts from trained observers who filed reports, collected evidence, and photographed proof of something living in the forgotten corners of America. Something that walks upright, demonstrates intelligence, and has learned to avoid human contact while dwelling in the spaces between our world and one far older.Their badges couldn't protect them from the truth. Now they share what really lurks in the backwoods of America.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Is a real Bigfoot body on display at the New York State Fair? Some are calling it the smoking gun, others say it's just another sideshow. A haunted Texas hospital is suddenly off-limits. Why did officials shut it down so abruptly? A scientist claims to have solved the Bermuda Triangle once and for all… but is it really that simple? Could a glass of water reveal if your house is haunted? One odd test says yes. Researchers are checking the skies for signs of alien probes, and the results may surprise you. Pro QB Aaron Rodgers once claimed to see ghosts at training camp. Now the story is resurfacing. Zak Bagans deals with an unnerving incident at home.

In this week's HappyCast, Andrew and Stephanie sit down with returning guest Aimee Jacobs fresh off her run at the Leadville 100, joined by her pacer and close friend, Mel (“DJ Melly Mel”). From San Antonio to the Colorado Rockies, Aimee recounts her buildup to one of the most prestigious 100-mile races in the country, the challenges of training at altitude, and the unforgettable experience of racing at elevation. Mel shares how their friendship grew from early morning base runs to supporting each other through some of the toughest miles of their careers.Aimee opens up about the harsh realities of racing at altitude — coughing up blood at Silver Rush, the relentless GI struggles at Leadville, and even temporary vision loss near the finish. Yet, with Mel at her side, troubleshooting fuel, offering tough love, and even providing questionable DJ playlists, the two pushed through every setback. Listeners will laugh at stories of “the princess pooping her pants,” garden gnome good-luck charms, and Mel's accidental splits, while also being moved by the raw emotion of Aimee's finish and the strength of their bond.Looking ahead, Aimee talks about her bold jump into the world of 200-mile races, including Bigfoot 200 and the possibility of a Triple Crown attempt. She also shares her fundraising mission for Christus Children's Cancer Center, running not just for herself but for kids in need of care. Whether you're inspired by grit, friendship, or the sheer absurdity that comes with ultra-running, this episode captures the spirit of why we toe the line and keep coming back for more.Be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and we always appreciate you leaving a good rate and review.

What happens when a retired Air Force veteran, therapist, and lifelong outdoorswoman finally faces the thing that haunted her childhood — and realizes it's been watching her family for generations?In this chilling and heartfelt episode, we sit down with K, who takes us from rural Louisiana and Texas to the shadowed forests of Washington. You'll hear about Sasquatch staring through a farmhouse window, heavy breathing outside a summer trailer, a tree shaking so violently it erased all doubt, and the moment in the Olympic National Forest when lichen fell from the creature's shoulders as it revealed itself.From Caddo Lake to Glacier Peak, from mysterious crow-like calls to perfect circles of feathers, this is a journey of fear, trauma, healing, and a lifetime of encounters that will leave you questioning what walks among us.

Hello my friends in Monsterland, join us tonight the 26th of August on The Untold Radio Networks "Real American Monsters" at 8 p.m. EST for another great guest. Tonight we will be talking to a man who lives a life few of us could ever imagine. He's Kain Michael, and for over a decade, he's been the founder of House of Enoch, a site dedicated to unraveling the Sasquatch phenomenon for more than a decade. But there's a twist in this story: He doesn't do this from a desk in a city. He does it from a remote, 750-acre property in the Hocking Hills of Ohio. He's not just a researcher; he's an explorer, having hiked over 3,000 miles off-trail across these United States. Get ready to step into the world of a modern-day woodland spirit , a man who lives off the grid to uncover the secrets from the past. You won't want to miss this." If you dont walk away with something new after this one I would be very suprised.

My story took place south of Bear Mountain in La Flore County. My husband and I had a three-year-old and were tired of the hustle and bustle. So, for my birthday, he surprised me with an empty shell cabin on the mountain.We both loved the outdoors. Even though I am a little lady, I still like to go hunting, hiking, and any other outdoor activity to prove I'm as good as the best of them. It was fitting that my husband moved me to this beautiful mountain. My husband drove a truck six months out of the ear, leaving me alone, but we both felt safe making the move.Our cabin was finished in time for winter, which was right around the corner. One day, my son and I were home alone. It was about dusk, but still nice and warm outside. While my son played in the baby pool, I sat on the porch with a cup of coffee and enjoyed myself. He and I always heard things like knocking when we were outside, but we were in the woods after all, and I have always been open to anything new out there.As we were sitting there, we heard growling and laughter. That was no ordinary forest noise, so I went and got my Ruger. When I came back, my son was pointing to the burn pile, saying, “Boogie Man!”I froze. There at the burn pile stood four Bigfoots. The male was at least eight feet tall. Next to him was a mother and two younger ones. She was holding one of them as she squatted next to the pile and gnawed on an old ham bone. The other young one had his hand on his mother's shoulder, staring at us in disbelief, just like we were staring at him. The stench coming from them was so strong that I almost lost my cookies. “They need a bath,” my son blurted out. I burst out laughing—out the mouth of babes, as they say. I never did raise my pistol, but the big guy kept his eye on it, so he must have known what it was. After that experience, I started leaving more food out by the burn pile. Nothing much, just scraps from a hunt or apples and things. We never saw them again, but we could hear them in the woods still and knew they got our gifts. Oddly enough, they would leave us gifts in return. A stack of rocks they built for us was still there when we left the cabin years later. My son is thirty now, and my husband is gone, but I will never forget my time on that enchanting mountain. Even though my son says he doesn't remember, I'm glad for the time we had with our forest neighbors.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

Bigfoot has been part of American folklore for decades, but what do we really know about the creature and the people who search for it? On this episode of The Paranormal Podcast, Jim Harold sits down with journalist and author John O'Connor, whose new book The Secret History of Bigfoot: Field Notes on a North American Monster explores not just the mystery of Sasquatch, but the culture of those who dedicate their lives to finding it. John shares his experiences traveling across the country, from the Pacific Northwest to the forests of Kentucky and beyond, meeting Bigfooters of all kinds. Along the way, he uncovers: Why he, as a serious journalist, decided to take Bigfoot seriously. The surprising diversity of belief within the Bigfoot community, from “flesh and blood” researchers to the more mystical “woo” camp. What the Patterson–Gimlin film still tells us, and doesn't, about the possibility of Bigfoot's existence. How his encounters with witnesses and searchers reshaped his own views on belief, mystery, and the human need for wonder. John also reflects on how Bigfoot represents something larger than footprints and blurry photos. It is a reminder of our connection to wild places and the enduring power of belief in the unexplained.

From the Celtic fairies who bake human blood into deadly cakes to the Filipino Aswang who slides her hollow tongue through windows at night, every culture on Earth has created its own terrifying version of the vampire—and most are far more disturbing than Dracula.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: True crime lovers will most readily admit that the strange cases are the juiciest. Some cases are bizarre, some are odd, others can be brutal… but whatever your preference, I've got some of the weirdest ones to share with you. (Strange Stories of True Crime) *** It seems most all states or territories in northern America have their own version of a big, hairy, bipedal creature we've all come to call Bigfoot. Ohio has their own, which has been dubbed the “Grassman.” (Buckeye Bigfoot of Ohio) *** Residents of Christchurch and the surrounding areas of Canterbury in New Zealand would suffer two huge earthquakes within six months – one September 2010, then another February 2011.  And if the hundreds of souls who perished wasn't enough, it appears the earth cracking open as it did unleashed something evil from the bowels of hell. (The Earthquake That Released a Demon) *** Sadly, child abuse and murder is not only a modern crime – it has been happening since the beginning of human history. But some cases are so severe or brutal, they rise to the surface and point out just how evil some people can be – such as Elizabeth Brownrigg, who was hanged for her crimes – and deservedly so. (The Inhumane Actions of Elizabeth Brownrigg) *** Slicked back hair, black cape, long white canines, maybe a mesmerizing stare… the image of the vampire has become iconic, if not a bit predictable. But bloodsucking creatures around the world aren't all the same – and while the traditional look of a vampire might frighten some, there are much more terrifying versions to fear in the night.

Enemy Unknown: Sasquatch & Giant HumanoidsEpisode 448 | August 25, 2025 In Tonight's Episode of Paranormal Mysteries...I'll be talking about more unexplained phenomena that military personnel have come in contact with. And I'll be focusing on several bizarre encounters with what many of them believe was Bigfoot.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS“That thing started running towards me, so I shouted a halt three times, asking that thing to stop and identify itself. As it wouldn't reply I made a first shot to the air, and then I shot at him or ‘it', I don't know how to call it. The hairy thing grabbed its chest and emitted a loud moan, stopped, and then ran to his right, disappearing into the forest.”“Through the starlight scope he could clearly see that this was not a man. It was a very tall, hair-covered, ape-like man walking through the desert. He said the animal appeared to be looking at the desert floor in search of something. The animal was about 500 yards distant, but the scope was very powerful and tripod mounted so it could be observed clearly. Both men continued to observe the animal as it wandered around almost aimlessly.”(For a full transcript, visit https://paranormalmysteriespodcast.com/episodes)INFO & CONTACTWebsite: https://paranormalmysteriespodcast.comTell Your Story: https://paranormalmysteriespodcast.com/tell-your-storyForum: https://paranormalmysteriespodcast.com/forumSUPPORT THE SHOWPatreon: https://paranormalmysteriespodcast.com/patreonBuy Me A Coffee: https://paranormalmysteriespodcast.com/bmacPayPal: https://paranormalmysteriespodcast.com/paypalFOLLOW & SUBSCRIBEYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ParanormalMysteriesPodcastSocial Media: https://paranormalmysteriespodcast.com/linksPodcast Source: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/paranormal-mysteries--2321086My Wife's Podcast: https://paranormalmysteriespodcast.com/sleep-relaxation-podcastREFERENCESMain Article: Amazing Mysterious Military Encounters with Bigfoot - https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2025/04/Amazing-Mysterious-Military-Encounters-with-Bigfoot/Sasquatch Chronicles Blog: https://sasquatchchronicles.com/category/sasquatch-chronicles-blog/Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO): https://bfro.net/Copyright 2017-2025 Paranormal Mysteries Podcast - Ryan Media.

Tonight's guest, Karl Sieling, had his Bigfoot sighting in 1976 while he was walking down a set of railroad tracks, in a heavily forested area, near Newtown, Connecticut. When his sighting happened, he was on the way to his buddy's house. Sometimes, he would walk or bike about a mile and a half to his buddy's house, using roads in the area. This day, he decided to walk on a set of train tracks that ran right past his house, through a forest and then right past his buddy's house. If he walked the tracks, instead of taking roads in the area, he'd save himself about a half mile on the trip. He had walked those tracks, to his buddy's house, numerous times before without any incident. This time, however, his walk would be anything but uneventful.If you've had a Sasquatch sighting in Kentucky that you'd like to share with Karl, please go the Connecticut Bigfoot Research Facebook Page, at https://www.facebook.com/groups/582437174638861/ or contact him via email, at CTBigfootResearch@gmail.comIf you've had a Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know.

Ian writes "The story I'm sitting down to tell, is a true one. One experienced by a faithful friend of mine, Sam, and I. I'm often reluctant to tell this story at length to most people, as the subject matter is unexplainable and rather strange. I don't want to be viewed as the superstitious nut. But having guided all across the country, and having extensive experience in many environments around the united states, I feel I have the authority to tell this story. Essentially what I'm saying is I've been around, in the deep dark hollows all across North America, and never experienced something so strange as I did that night. I don't fancify my experiences in the woods, nor do I hopefully imagine there's something more to a twig breaking. As anyone who has spent a good deal of time in the woods knows, there's no reason to. Eventually you'll experience something daring or fantastic. I am a hunter first and foremost, and to a hunter there's always an explanation, a reason to the wilderness and her inhabitants. Its how we identify patterns and exploit an animals rhythm to make a successful hunt. As a hunter you're a sort of woodsman detective, piecing together clues to set yourself up for success. Lets just say this tale is a cold-case. Let's get into it. It was early summer and I was itching to go camping. I had recently received a new tent and was eager to use it. I called up my good buddy, Sam, and we planned out our camping adventure. We considered going up to the Grayson highlands, or even south into North Carolina. After debating it, we decided it would be more fun to camp somewhere we wouldn't run into any other people. Deep in the woods, far from anyone else, where we could bushcraft, hoot and holler, and bring a gun without fear of scaring the yuppies camping next to us. While we both lived in the woods, I definitely had access to the most remote stretch of woods between us. So we loaded up our stuff and began hiking, deep into the valley below my childhood home. The hike was almost completely straight down a steep hillside, deep into a a hollow that held a small patch of flat land, a flood plane area and creek. The small creek that ran gave the area a beautiful ambiance. Early signs of summer were visible all around and the weather was great. We hiked until we felt the need to start gathering firewood before nightfall. Behind us a was a steep hillside that rose into the west for miles. In front of us was the creek, and to the left the start of another ridge and hillside that rose high into the east and north. To our right, the valley we were in, continued to go down cutting a deep valley. and on the other side of the creek another ridge, separated by a small stream from the ridge to the left, rose into the west and to the south. These two ridges in front of us ran for miles and the little valley formed by the small creek split these ridges for a long ways up until it hit the spring head. This is important for later in the story. Off to the right, further down the valley, more splits in the ridges are made by little tributaries. We started building camp by clearing the brush and leaves away and constructing a small firepit. I placed a tarp on the ground to separate my tent from the damp earth. Remember this, the tarp extended out roughly a foot on each side of my tent. Sam had a hammock that he planned to sleep in, I've only ever camped in a hammock once, and it didn't go great. But I didn't say anything to him, thinking that maybe he would enjoy it. We gathered a hefty load of firewood, consisting of some reasonably dry stuff. It was shaping up to be a really nice camping trip. I've spoken about the joy of being “out there” on this blog before, so I won't beat a dead horse, but it was really nice to be away from people. Sam and I sat around the fire and shot the shit until the sun went down. Now one of the things Sam and I have always bonded on, has been Bigfoot shows. We're both skeptics, and I would say we hold a similar or the same opinion on the subject. Our interest is less about believing in bigfoot, but rather we just find the subject matter to be nostalgic, silly, and a fun thing to joke about. So, I brought up the idea to Sam, that we begin to “Hunt” Bigfoot. He laughed and thought it was a great idea. So we began doing the antics they do in the “Finding Bigfoot” TV show. We started with the classic, Tree knocks. A “Tree Knock” for those unaware, is when you use a stick to beat on a tree, making a loud knocking sound that echoes through the forest. Supposedly sasquatch communicate this way. We didn't think anything of it at all, as I said before, we didn't really believe, we were just joking around. So we began by knocking on the trees and then stopping and listening for a response. After a few times of doing this we paused, and hearing nothing I began to think of a joke to crack and something else to do. Before I could open my mouth, we heard clear as day, a tree nock far off somewhere on the ridge to the left. I looked at Sam and said, “Dude.” Sam just looked back at me in surprise. I then did some more knocks, and we listened again. Then off in the distance, we heard more knocks in response. Then the other ridge to the right we began hearing knocks. Sam at this point was beginning to get freaked out a little and was perplexed as to what it could be. I at the time, was such a hard skeptic I carried on and insisted that it was a person or a woodpecker. “but who in the world would be out there? deeper in the woods than we are, on private land? What woodpecker makes three loud booming knocks on the tree, that sound exactly like the knocks we make?” Sam voiced his rebuttal. I ignored these arguments and held strong to the fact that there is no Bigfoot. I then insisted that we push the envelope by doing woops and howls, just like they do on TV. Sam was not very enthused by this idea, being the humbler and smarter one of us that night, knowing sometimes there's certain things you don't mess with. But at that time I was full of piss and vinegar, and stubborn as a mule about the fact that Bigfoot, is not real. I also had brought a gun with me, and was certain I could fight off anything we would need to fight off. So we started howling into the woods. It was dark that night, being a new moon, and beyond the firelight you couldn't see a damn thing. We would howl and wait listening for a reply. After a few howls, the excitement of “What was that?” started to fade and my logical, rational, science based, theory of the woodpecker began to appear true. Then, out of the dark distance came one of the strangest sounds I've ever heard. A howl. Not a canine howl, not an owls hoot, but a fucking ape howl. Sam's eyes were as big as back hoe tires, and even I was finding it hard to reason that one. Despite this, I continued my ignorant stubbornness, and threw out another howl. Off to the left ridge it replied to us again, the clearest ape whoop I've ever heard. As if it were recorded by researchers in the Congo. I looked at Sam, myself feeling more curious and excited than anything else, I reiterated, “Duuuude.” Then something truly unexplainable and spooky happened, more whoops and howls began on the ridge to the right and further down the valley. And they weren't random, they had etiquette, as if they were chatting back and forth with each other. The one to the left would howl, the one to the right would whoop and howl, the first would respond, and then the one way down the valley would chime in. Sam was really freaked out now, and began considering if we should leave. I, being a stubborn idiot, claimed it was owls. “Owls?? We were both raised in these hollers, I've heard owls, you're gonna tell me that was an owl? Have you ever in your life heard an owl that sounded like a fucking ape?” Sam argued against my claim. “Well, no, but there's no way bigfoot is real. It has to be a bunch of owls speaking to each other. There's nothing else it could be.” I replied, half laughing in astonishment and disbelief of what was unfolding that night. Sam and I kind of bickered for a minute over it, and then decided the wisest decision was to stop antagonizing whatever it was in the woods miles around us whooping and knocking. It wasn't too long after that, we decided to go to bed. I crawled into my tent, and Sam into his hammock. We left the fire going, and every time the fire died down, the woods came to life. Whether it was paranoia, or paranormal, something was stirring. All around camp we could hear what sounded like things being thrown and footsteps. From time to time we would hear another knock or another howl coming from a new position. Sam would leap out of his hammock and chuck loads of wood onto the fire and make it as big as possible. He would then lay back down to sleep. This repeated about three more times. Each time the fire died, things got spookier and spookier. A few times Sam would say, “Did you hear that?” and every time I would just blame it on possums nearing camp, hoping to find food scraps. Well, about the third time, Sam ran out of firewood. Meaning that this time when the fire died, it died for good, leaving us to the dark void of the Appalachian holler. I vividly remember I had fallen asleep before the fire died, and after it died, there was so much stirring around camp, I began to wake up. I was slowly waking up, thinking I was having some sort of nightmare, when I finally fully sobered, and realized that my dream was pleasant. It was reality that was full of frightening sounds and things that go bump in the night. The woods around us had become loud with unexplainable movement, the movement of multiple large things. The whooping and knocking had stopped, which did not comfort me, with all the new sounds right outside my door. There was maybe a 30 yard perimeter around camp that the sounds did not cross. Then suddenly, an extremely loud crashing began through the twigs, leaves, and branches. It was something large, running full sprint through the woods. Starting maybe 50 yards away, and running straight towards our camp. It grew louder and louder, until the sound of crushing leaves, turned to crinkling tarp. The creature, was standing on the tarp my tent was situated on. I was frozen. Like a child, Frozen in fear, eyes wide open. My heart was pounding out of my chest so hard I thought it would explode. I Then heard high above my tent, not near the ground, not four feet up, but high above my tent, the most terrifying sound I've ever heard. it was the sound of a huff and blow, exactly the way you hear a gorilla do it on TV. Or how the apes in planet of the apes do it. Three forceful huff and blows, then the creature turned around and ran back the way it came, back into the darkness of the night. Sam practically leaped out of his hammock and said, “You had to have heard that!” I replied with, “Yeah lets get the fuck out of here.” I slid a round into the chamber of my 30-30 and crawled out of the tent. We both got busy grabbing only our essentials, and started out of the woods. Using shitty dim flashlights, we made our way up the hill. Frantically looking behind us into the terrible night, and trying to move fast without running. We hiked a long ways and by the time we made it back to the house it was far past midnight. We never did see what it was that charged us, and we never did hear anything else after that. But whatever it was, scared us enough to make us hike out in the dead of night and leave all of our gear there. We returned the next morning in full daylight to gather our things. Looking back, I wish we had surveyed the area for tracks or some clue as to what it was, but at the time we did not want to be down there for any longer than we had to. Having been some years since this happened, I would go down there in a heart beat and not think a thing of it. When I come home, I usually feel a sense of ease in the woods. It feels like a weight is lifted off of your shoulders knowing there are no cougars or grizzly bears to worry about. For my western outdoorsy folk, familiar with cougar country, reading this and thinking, “I don't feel a weight in the woods.” my reply, would be the question, have you noticed you've been stalked before? Cougars are some of the sneakiest creatures in the animal kingdom, and just because you've never noticed it, doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I myself have been stalked, I've written about it here previously. It's a feeling that will stick with you, and definitely put you on edge in cougar country for a long time after. I have a colleague who guides western big game in New Mexico, who told me a story once that during a hunt he had a fellow guide spotting for him, and that guide watched a cougar stalk my friend through a grove of trees before giving up. My friend never had the slightest idea he was being stalked. I believe for an avid outdoorsman in cougar country, it is inevitable. And as far as grizzly country, it's a similar feeling but a little different. Most ill bear encounters happen because you surprise the bear in thick woods. I have many friends from my time in Alaska who would share stories of being charged by monster grizzlies from out of no-where. They're just hiking along, and then BOOM! 800 pounds of death is blasting straight towards them. And the consensus is the same amongst them, if you spend enough time out there, it will happen eventually. I luckily was never charged during my time in Alaska, I avoided known bear hang-outs. But the few times I spent time in bear country, I always had this jack in the box anxiety, just waiting for it to happen. What is funny though, is despite that weight being lifted initially, an old feeling always returns. I know it's not some sort of psychological thing having to do with that patch of woods specifically, because I feel it in most places in Appalachia. It's a feeling of being watched, a feeling that something is there, and a feeling of dread. And it amplifies every time you hear some strange crashing in the woods or a sound you cannot explain. Most of the times I've experienced this, I've had a gun. And I think to myself, “Come on man! You're the most badass thing out here.” Yet I can never shake that anxiety. My brother, without having ever heard this story, reluctantly asked me over the phone one day, “don't think I'm crazy but, have you ever felt creeped out in the woods below the house? I don't know what it is, but every time I go down there I feel like I'm being watched, and I get filled with dread.” Hearing him say that sent shivers down my back. Simply because I always dismissed this feeling, I've swept this story under the rug for years, telling myself it was just a bear etc. To hear my brother, who is a marine, tell me that, certified to me that I was not simply being a pussy. I've only ever felt this in two regions of the country. Appalachia, and the Redwood Forests of Northern California. Now some of you may be reading this thinking that I am a nut-job Bigfoot believer. I've been reluctant to share this story for that reason. But I want to end this, saying, I have no idea what it was that made those calls that night. I also have no idea what it was that busted into our camp. We never did lay our eyes on anything. But I want to re-iterate that the story, is true. Verbatim to how it happened as I can recall it, without any embellishment. I have no idea what it was, and you can make your own decision as to what you think it was. But being an experienced woodsman, never have I ever experienced something like that since, and I have no worldly explanation for it. Those were the events that transpired that night, and I'll let you make of that what you will.”   Here is a link to Ian's blog
