In this chilling episode, Fred from Alaska recounts the harrowing true story of Michael Hollister, a former Alaskan resident whose routine black bear hunt in the Kenai Mountains took a deeply unsettling turn nearly fifteen years ago. What began as a familiar pursuit in the rugged wilderness near Portlock, Alaska, quickly spiraled into a series of events that defied logic and explanation.As Michael tracked a black bear through remote terrain, he became overwhelmed by an oppressive sense of being watched. Strange, unidentifiable noises echoed through the forest, and the atmosphere shifted from solitude to sheer dread. The tension escalated when Michael came face-to-face with a massive, humanoid figure—something he could only describe as Bigfoot-like—standing where no human should have been.Shaken but determined, Michael continued his hunt, only to encounter even more disturbing anomalies during his retreat: the sudden appearance of an unmarked black helicopter overhead and an aggressive brown bear charge that forced him into a calculated, life-or-death escape.Fred walks listeners through Michael's methodical withdrawal from the wilderness, highlighting the instincts and experience that ultimately saved his life. This episode is a powerful and unnerving account of survival, mystery, and the unknown forces that may still lurk in Alaska's untamed backcountry. Fred closes by expressing deep gratitude to Michael for coming forward and sharing an experience that continues to haunt him—and may challenge everything you think you know about the wild.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.

In this episode, you'll hear what it was like from Will's seat on the sticks during our trip, why the bite shifted every day, how he chooses between bugs, beads, and buggers, and plenty of stories from the river.  Will breaks down how to actively jig, swing, and animate the Duracell and other flies while nymphing, and how they get trout, grayling, and even salmon to eat.   Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/851

Welcome back Heal Squad to our Part 2 with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the Father of Functional Medicine. This episode is PACKED with revelations about how your immune system works and what actually helps your body heal. Dr. Bland breaks down the Systemic Immune Index (SII) … a simple calculation from your standard bloodwork that acts like a “dashboard light” for your immune resilience. It's something our physicians all have and if your number is off, he explains the importance of bringing it back into balance. Then he drops MAJOR nutritional truth bombs: why Tartary buckwheat, a forgotten crop may be the most powerful immune-supporting superfood in the world, why polyphenols are the secret sauce of Blue Zone longevity, and which supplements actually help versus which ones are just ultra-processed hype. This conversation is hopeful, empowering, and gives you real tools to build better immunity, better aging, and a better relationship with your health, starting today. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Tartary Buckwheat Is the Immune Superfood We've Been Missing It delivers up to 100x more polyphenols than regular buckwheat, boosts immune resilience, improves metabolic function, and offers powerful nutrient density — especially when sprouted. Polyphenols, Omega-3s & Probiotics Are the Real Supplement “Big 3 But quality matters: Choose minimally processed fish oils (like Alaskan fish liver oil), Add polyphenol-rich foods, Support gut immunity with pre + probiotics And skip the ultra-processed supplements pretending to be “anti-inflammatory.” HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjeffreybland/?hl=en  Website: https://jeffreybland.com/ Big Bold Health: https://bigboldhealth.com The Systemic Inflammation Index ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Doug Fifer is a retired Alaskan police officer who specialized in crime scene analysis, deviant sexual crimes, hostage negotiations, and various special assignments throughout his twenty-five-year career. As a highly decorated investigator, Doug has negotiated with serial killers, solved homicides, and worked on real-life cases that will shock you to the core.This is not your run-of-the-mill true crime; it is straight from the source, an author-led journey into how far some will go to achieve their sexually freakish desires. You have never read a book like this one; it is a cringeworthy reality check on humanity. You might think you can manage the truth, but this police officer's truth is as savage as it gets.When asked about the stressors of being a police officer, Doug replied, “Humor plays a key role in keeping your sanity, not just in law enforcement but life in general.” His writing certainly reflects this philosophy, as Doug believes in taking life seriously—just not too seriously.Born in the small town of Homer, Alaska, Doug's family originates from southeast Alaska, around the Ketchikan area. He and his wife, Kim, raised their children in the Anchorage area, where he resides today.He is the author of Fifty Shades of True Crime: Sex, Drugs, and Killer Kink. https://dougfifer.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

From an abandoned Alaskan town where residents fled a deadly "wild man" to the father who sold everything searching for his missing son in Olympic National Park, we explore the disturbing pattern of unexplained disappearances in North America's wildest places—and whether the legendary Bigfoot might know more than we think.IN THIS EPISODE: We explore the possible connection between unexplained disappearances and alleged Bigfoot encounters. We'll look at disturbing cases like the experienced park ranger who vanished in 1987, leaving behind only his belongings and mysterious journal entries, and the 12-year-old boy who somehow survived two freezing nights alone in the wilderness. What secrets lie hidden in shadowy forests of North America? Could there be something big and furry out there that could explain the vanishing of people into thin air? Is there something nasty and beastly among the natural beauty?SOURCES and RESOURCES:“The Bigfoot Connection”: Brent Swancer, Mysterious Universe: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/cer7zhdt“Bigfoot And The Missing Cyclist”: Eric Spitznagel, NY Post: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckrn22c“The Lost Among Shenandoah's Sasquatch”: Forrest McFarland, The U.S. Sun: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8fvhmp=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

In this episode, Robin talks with Stephen Klinger, an Alaskan at his happiest when perched on the jagged edge of self-annihilation. He tests these boundaries aboard his inflatable jet boat, which is capable of maneuvering its way UP raging rapids. Sometimes this is to gain access to incredible hunting grounds; other times it's simply being the first human to ever reach a river's glacial lake by boat. This episode is packed full of wild stories, including many close calls, hunting / fishing adventures etc. Thanks again to Stephen for sharing his time with us today!

Fred from Alaska shares a chilling collection of Alaskan Sasquatch encounters that stretch across decades of tundra silence and deep wilderness unease. In this episode, the host returns to Vincent Wesley's 2011 moose-hunting trip, when what should have been a routine outing took a terrifying turn after Vincent crossed paths with what locals call the “hairy man.” After new conversations with Vincent's sister Grace and villagers from the surrounding region, the story widens into something far more unsettling, as fresh details surface about strange vocalizations, unexplained movement in the brush, and a long pattern of sightings that locals have kept quiet for years.As the episode unfolds, listeners hear additional accounts from villagers who describe the same kind of presence moving through their homeland. A group of women and children recount a 2021 encounter with an immense, unfamiliar figure that appeared briefly but left a lasting psychological mark, reinforcing the sense that these beings are not legends in Alaska, but a reality quietly woven into daily life.He also shares a haunting story from the 1970s, told by Lorraine, a volcanologist working in remote Alaskan terrain who experienced something eerie and intelligent watching her from the edge of isolation—an encounter that still rattles her decades later. Another disturbing account comes from Corey and Bob, who describe a tense run-in near Snake River with a mysterious figure that seemed to track them with deliberate intent, leaving them convinced they were being studied, not hunted.Out there in the tundra, in the places where the land feels endless and human voices fade, something else may be living alongside us—watching, moving, and occasionally stepping into view just long enough to remind people they are not alone.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.

In this powerful and haunting episode, we share the life-changing testimony of Mary, a ninety-two-year-old Yup'ik woman who survived one of the most frightening Sasquatch encounters ever recorded. This isn't a tale of footprints or shadows in the trees—this is the story of what happened when an Alaskan village along the Copper River faced something ancient, intelligent, and deadly during the summer of 1962. Mary was only eight when her peaceful village became a hunting ground.What began with one trapper disappearing quickly turned into a terrifying ordeal that claimed several lives, including two of Mary's closest childhood friends. Through her memories, we experience the fear that grew as massive footprints appeared around homes, red eyes watched from the twilight, and the villagers realized this was no bear.Her account connects deeply to Yup'ik traditions and the old stories of the kushta'ka—the hairymen who walked the land long before outsiders arrived.Mary's grandmother recognized the danger immediately, explaining that sometimes one of these beings “goes bad,” much like a rabid wolf, and develops a deadly hunger for humans. As children vanished and attacks intensified, twelve villages came together in a desperate attempt to fight back. Forty-three hunters formed a war party armed with everything from WWII rifles to a centuries-old Russian bear spear blessed by a shaman. Their battle in the deep forest was brutal, courageous, and left lasting scars on everyone involved.But Mary's story goes far beyond violence. Sixty years later, she revealed a secret second encounter—this time with a female Sasquatch who returned something precious to Mary. Whether it was grief, remorse, or understanding, the moment changed how Mary saw these beings forever. Throughout her life, Mary witnessed other encounters that suggested a fragile, uneasy coexistence.The female that fought so fiercely was defending her mate, just as the villagers were defending their families. As Mary reached ninety-three, she shared her final thoughts about the visits she believed she still received from the surviving creature—now old, quiet, and watchful. She spoke of dreams where she saw the story through the creature's eyes and understood that what happened wasn't evil—it was two worlds colliding in a place both called home.Her final message is a warning: as the wilderness shrinks, the fragile peace between humans and these ancient beings may not hold. She shares this story not to encourage people to seek Sasquatch, but to remind us of the respect and boundaries forged at such a terrible cost.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

From handgun setup to the raw, wild moments in the field, this story is one that won't soon be forgotten.

In 1992, a seismic scan triggered by a Chinese nuclear test allegedly revealed a massive pyramid hidden beneath the Alaskan wilderness, larger than Giza's Great Pyramid.

Beneath the frozen silence of the Alaskan wilderness lies a bunker that was never meant to be uncovered… and a truth no one was ever meant to hear. In this chilling episode of Chilling Tales for Dark Nights, guest host Nicholas Goroff guides you deep below the surface—into a labyrinth of concrete corridors, sealed rooms, and a project shrouded in secrecy. What begins as a quest for understanding soon unravels into a confrontation with something far older, far darker, and far less willing to be contained.

Leslie welcomes back Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, for a preview of the newly released 2025 'Made in America Holiday Gift Guide.' (link: https://www.americanmanufacturing.org/blog/the-2025-made-in-america-holiday-gift-guide/)   This year's guide makes it easier than ever for shoppers to find U.S.-made products and support American workers this holiday season. New polling released with the Gift Guide shows overwhelming demand for locally made goods, with 81% of Americans saying they're as likely or more likely to buy American-made products this year. The vast majority (83%) of shoppers say they would buy more Made in USA goods if these products were more widely available. The Gift Guide bridges that gap, connecting consumers with the craftsmanship, quality and well-paid jobs that come from buying Made in America. In its 12th year, the 2025 Guide features 148 manufacturers and makers from across all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. There's an American-made gift for everyone, with finds ranging from model airplane kits and stocking stuffers to jewelry and grills. Shoppers can browse the guide by state or product category, and a new segment this year highlights brick-and-mortar stores specializing in state-made goods for in-person shopping. Additionally, AAM's Made in America Directory spotlights 873 companies and their products that are not featured in this year's Guide. Leslie and Scott highlight five of the companies and their gift offerings for just a taste of the guide.  Here they are: 1 - WicR Have you always wanted to be a plant parent but were too scared you'd forget to water them every day? Fear no more: WicR is a self-watering product that makes it a lot easier. All you have to do is place the WicR at the bottom of your pot, cover it with soil, and place your plant in. Then, after an initial watering, the WicR will self-water your plant for seven to ten days. A game-changer for plant care! 2 -  Alaska Glacial Essentials Skincare Alaska Glacial Essentials Skincare draws from its surrounding beauty in Cordova, Alaska, to enhance the quality of the products they make there. This company sources glacial minerals and botanicals for gentle but effective formulas, and all its products are vegan and cruelty-free. Its energy-efficient facility operates on 60-80% community hydropower, and the Certified B Corps company prides itself on a commitment to sustainability. Alaska Glacial Essentials Skincare donates 2% of its revenues to organizations that protect the Alaskan environment, such as the Copper River Watershed Project.  3 - Made-Plus Footwear The vast majority of footwear today is imported. But Alan Guyan, an alum of Under Armour's shoe division, saw an opportunity to do things differently. That's why he started Made+, a luxury athletic shoe brand based in Annapolis. All the shoes are made with 100% recycled yarn — and that yarn is made from repurposed plastic water bottles. These shoes come in all sorts of designs; they even sell shoes specially designed for pickleball. If you're looking to replace those athletic shoes, Made+ is an incredible choice. (And check out their in-person storefront if you're near Annapolis!) Lastly, be sure to check out AAM's blog post featuring Made+ from last month, where you can find on their website at AmericanManufacturing.org/blog 4 - High Strung Studios For the music lover on your list, High Strung Studios hits all the right notes. This woman-owned business transforms real guitar strings into beautiful, handcrafted jewelry made right here in the USA. Each bracelet, necklace, and pair of earrings carries a touch of rhythm and a whole lot of heart, making them perfect for anyone who finds joy in a good song. Thoughtful, unique, and full of holiday cheer, these gifts truly strike a chord. 5 - Cycle Dog Bring some wag-worthy joy to the holidays with Cycle Dog, a woman-owned company in Portland, making eco-friendly gear for dogs who love to play. Every collar, leash, toy and bed is crafted in the USA using recycled materials, keeping millions of inner tubes and bottles out of landfills. Durable, sustainable and made by a team of passionate makers (and their pups), these gifts are perfect for anyone who wants to spoil their dog, spread a little holiday cheer, and do good for the planet all at once. Lastly, Leslie and Scott talk about Project MFG. What's Project MFG?  Think Top Chef — but for welders, machinists and engineers. Ray Dick, founder of Project MFG and creator of the YouTube reality show 'Clash of Trades,' is inspiring the next generation of manufacturers through hands-on competition and community engagement.

John sits down with Cole and Lynn as they tell their changed lives stories of how they came to Christ, how they met one another, and about the life they are building now. They share a powerful lesson on 'recreational companionship' and how that has resulted in epic Alaskan trips, chasing moose and grizzly bears, and how they've seen God bless them as a result.To learn more about the Tabernacle visit us online at: https://thetabchurch.com

A town in Alaska won't see the sun again until January 23. When it finally rises, they celebrate. It reminded me of Isaiah 9:2 — the Light always returns, and with it, joy.

Deep in the shadowed heart of Alaska's Copper River Valley, the wilderness holds more than silence—it remembers. In this chilling episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, the haunting folklore of Alaska comes alive through vivid accounts passed down by those who've lived closest to its mysteries.From the whispered warnings of elders to the trembling voices of witnesses, Killers in the Valley explores the eerie boundary between legend and lived experience. We journey through tales of monstrous “killer monkeys” stalking the riverbanks, and the Harrimen—dark, elusive figures said to roam the fog-laden forests where few dare to tread.But the most unnerving of all are the shape-shifters: sea otters that rise from the depths, transforming into towering, humanlike beings cloaked in shadow and dripping river water.Agatha, whose quiet day of berry picking turned into a nightmare of strange sounds and unseen watchers; of Ms. Carroll, whose property became a beacon for ghostly lights and inexplicable disturbances; and of William Williams, who faced a creature so horrifying it blurred the line between man, beast, and spirit.Each account carries the pulse of Alaska's untamed wilds—a reminder that isolation, fear, and ancient belief intertwine in the frozen frontier. These stories are more than folklore; they are fragments of memory, fear, and reverence for a land that is beautiful, merciless, and deeply haunted.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.

On July 22nd 2010, Dave Akers and Gary Nall decided to take a sight seeing trip in Gary's small plane. What should have been a short flight before sunset turned into a fight for their lives after the plane got caught in a powerful down draft that caused them to crash almost 4,000 feet up a remote mountain side in the Alaskan wilderness. Despite their injuries, the men quickly discovered their only option was to attempt to hike off the mountain.
