In this chilling episode, Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel returns to share a haunting account that unfolds deep within the isolated Alaskan wilderness, where land, legacy, and something unknown collide. The story centers on James Junior and his uncle Oscar, whose connection is strained by years of unresolved family tension tied to a remote piece of inherited property.Once dismissed as nothing more than an unwanted reminder of the past, the land comes with unsettling warnings from their late mother—warnings that linger long after her passing.After years of neglect, Oscar decides to reclaim the property by building a small cabin in one of the most desolate regions imaginable. What begins as a practical decision quickly spirals into something far darker.During an unexpected visit years later, Oscar experiences an overwhelming sense of being watched, followed by strange sounds, rolling fog, and the sudden appearance of a massive, unidentified figure looming near the cabin. The encounter leaves him shaken and searching for answers.Determined to confront whatever may be lurking on the land, Oscar and James Junior return in the dead of winter, armed and on edge. What they encounter instead defies explanation—deep, guttural growls echo through the frozen forest, and a rare white raven appears, a symbol regarded in many Indigenous cultures as an omen or spiritual messenger.As tension mounts and the environment turns hostile, fear overtakes reason, forcing the men into a desperate retreat as piercing screams follow them through the fog. Fred breaks down the details of this encounter and explores whether the behaviors, warning signs, and environmental cues described in this story could help others avoid similar traumatic experiences in remote wilderness areas.Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTubeGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

863 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/866 Presented by:   Togiak River Lodge Today's story bridges two very different worlds: the tight banks and icy tributaries of the Great Lakes, and the raw, tidal power of Western Alaska. Bailey Adamavich learned to fish where forty-foot casts matter and low water forces precision, then carried that foundation straight into blown-out rivers, chrome-bright kings, and some of the most intense Chinook grabs you can imagine. Bailey was our guide on the Togiak River, and we talked through one of my best days ever swinging for king salmon. We also dig into how Great Lakes tactics translate to Alaska, why simple flies still win, and what it really feels like to guide a full Alaskan season. If you're curious about Chinook on the swing, Midwest steelhead and browns, or the leap from small water to truly big rivers, this one's for you. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/866

The Alaskan city of Juneau has seen nearly a season's worth of snow this December, sinking boats in the harbor and threatening roof collapses and avalanches. Also, flu cases are climbing across the United States as the season reaches its peak, and millions of people may get sick in the weeks ahead.

There's a corner of America where people vanish at a startling rate, where massive searches can turn up nothing, no trail, no remains, no answers. That place is Alaska. In this episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories, we head into the shadowed heart of the Alaska Triangle, the vast wilderness between Anchorage, Juneau, and Utqiagvik, to explore why so many disappear and why indigenous stories have warned about forest-dwelling abductors for generations.In the summer of twenty twenty-two, sixty-nine-year-old Mary Dawn Wilson drove her Ford Focus nearly seven miles down the Stampede Trail near Healy, Alaska, a rugged route tied to the Into the Wild legend and notorious for swallowing travelers. With a two-year-old child in the back seat, Wilson pushed her vehicle far beyond where it reasonably could go.When the car became stuck in mud, she made a decision no one can explain. She locked the toddler inside the vehicle and walked deeper into the wilderness, away from the highway and toward the interior.Search teams deployed helicopters, thermal imaging, drones, ATVs, and trained dogs. They located Wilson's personal belongings about a mile beyond the stuck car, proof she kept going. After that, the trail went cold. No footprints. No sign. Nothing. After three days, the active search was suspended. Mary Dawn Wilson has never been found.We zoom out to examine the bigger pattern, thousands of disappearances across Alaska over the decades, many ending in complete erasure. We revisit chilling cases tied to the Alaska Triangle, including the nineteen seventy-two disappearance of House Majority Leader Hale Boggs and Alaska Congressman Nick Begich, whose plane was never recovered despite one of the largest search operations in American history. We examine the case of Gary Frank Sotherden, whose skull was found years later with bear tooth marks but little else, no clothing, no gear, no explanation for how he ended up so far from where he was supposed to be.We consider Thomas Anthony Nuzzi, the traveling nurse last seen with an unidentified woman who has never been located, both of them vanishing into the Alaskan night without a trace. And we look at Michael LeMaitre, a marathon runner who vanished during a major, heavily monitored event on a mountainside crowded with other competitors and spectators, disappearing in broad daylight despite sophisticated search technology that should have been able to locate any warm body on that mountain. Alaska Native traditions carry their own explanations for these disappearances, stories of entities that mimic, lure, and take. The Tlingit speak of the Kushtaka, the land otter man, a shapeshifter said to imitate voices and faces to draw victims away from safety. The Yup'ik tell of the Hairy Man they call Miluquyuliq, a powerful forest presence that watches travelers from the treeline with an intensity that goes beyond mere animal curiosity. And the descendants of Portlock speak of the Nantinaq, a predatory figure so feared that locals ultimately abandoned their entire town rather than remain in its territory. By nineteen fifty, every resident had fled, leaving behind homes and livelihoods, choosing displacement over whatever stalked them from the surrounding forest. We also touch on modern reports, including sightings documented by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization across Alaska, encounters with massive bipedal creatures covered in dark fur that emit strange vocalizations and watch humans with unsettling intelligence. These accounts span decades and come from experienced outdoorsmen, truckers, hunters, and others who know the difference between known wildlife and something else entirely.At the center of this episode lies an unsettling question that may never be answered. What made Mary Dawn Wilson walk the wrong way, into the deep, after leaving a child behind? She was no naive tourist. She knew the Alaskan wilderness, had lived in remote areas, understood the dangers. Yet something compelled her to drive down that haunted trail, to keep going when any sensible person would turn back, and finally to walk away from her stuck vehicle in the opposite direction of safety. Did she experience a medical crisis that impaired her judgment? Did the wilderness itself disorient her?Or did she see something, hear something, follow something that called to her from the trees?The Tlingit have always warned their children about the Kushtaka's ability to mimic familiar voices, to appear as loved ones, to promise help while leading victims to their doom. The people of Portlock knew something was hunting them long before they abandoned their homes. And Mary Dawn Wilson, walking deeper into the Alaskan interior on that July afternoon, may have encountered whatever it is that has been taking people from this land for longer than anyone can remember.Mary Dawn Wilson was four feet ten inches tall, weighed one hundred sixty pounds, and had gray hair and blue eyes with a small scar on her left ear. She was wearing a floral dress and a cream-colored kuspuk with green flowers when she disappeared. Her case remains open. Tips can be submitted to the Alaska State Troopers at nine oh seven, four five one, five one oh oh, or anonymously through the AK Tips smartphone app. If you know anything about what happened on the Stampede Trail in July of twenty twenty-two, please reach out. Somewhere in that vast and silent wilderness, the answers are waiting to be found.Thank you for joining us on Backwoods Bigfoot Stories. The forest is always watching. And sometimes, it takes.

In this episode, Sara Jolena talks with Meda Dewitt, a Lingit traditional healer, ethno-herbalist, educator, and artist from the Tlingit culture. Together, they explore themes of the perception of time in western and Indigenous cultures, the importance of storytelling, and the impact of seasonal changes on life. This includes the contrast between Native time and what Meda refers to as "managed time," emphasizing the need for balance.   The episode concludes with reflections on the personal and the collective in a rapidly changing world.Subsections00:00 - Introducing Meda DeWitt02:11 - Cultural Identity and Language05:40 - Understanding Time in Indigenous Cultures (with a focus on Tlingit)10:09 - The Nature of Storytelling and Memory18:40 - Cycles of Life and Nature25:31 - Native Time vs. Clock Time27:47 - Navigating Between Clock Time and Organic Time31:04 - The Impact of Managed Time on Well-being35:28 - The Reckoning of Time in a Capitalistic Society38:12 - Finding Balance in a Modern Context43:05 Embracing Mortality and the Value of Time51:39 - Moving Between TimesWebsites:Wilderness.org/imagoSanctuaryAnimism.orgmedaforalaska.comFacebook.com/sanctuaryanimismYouTube.com/@sanctuaryanimismNote: Tlingit culture is a matrilineal society from what is now referred to as Southeastern Alaska.  "Tlingit" means "people of the tides." Alaska has 229 federally recognized Alaska Native tribes, more than any other U.S. state, representing distinct indigenous cultures including the Yup'ik, Inupiaq, Athabascan, Tlingit, Haida, Eyak, and Aleut (Unangax/Sugpiaq).    These peoples are deeply tied to their ecosystems.  The major Alaskan ecosystems include: tundra, taiga (boreal forest), coastal rainforests, marine ecosystems (including the Gulf of Alaska, the Bering Sea, Chukchi Sea and the Aleutian Islands), mountains/glaciers; and wetlands and freshwaters. The image used is from Fairbanks, Alaska, on the winter solstice.

In this episode, I sit down with percussionist Doug Perkins for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with a few personal connections and quickly opens up into a bigger discussion about music, teaching, and the kind of “improbable events” that can change a person's life. Doug and I talk about our shared link through LSU and Brett Dietz, and Doug tells the story of how he learned bass guitar in the eighth grade to get into a jazz band, which led to rehearsals at home, a punk band with Brett called The Septic Creptics, and a deep early education in groove, feel, and listening. We dig into the teachers who shaped Doug's path, especially Jack DiIanni, and why fundamentals, sound, and real-life performing situations became such a foundation for everything that came next.Doug shares how his background in drum set and bass informs the way he plays and teaches, especially when it comes to music like Steve Reich, where micro-groove, ensemble feel, and knowing your role inside the bigger texture are everything. We also talk about how students learn now, how algorithm-driven listening can shrink context, and why so many young musicians feel pressure to avoid mistakes when everything can feel like a permanent record. Doug explains how he actively teaches context, lineage, and listening, and why basic production skills matter more than ever, including signal flow, microphones, sound reinforcement, and the simple confidence that comes from knowing how to set up a PA or wrap a cable correctly.From there, Doug takes us into his world at the University of Michigan, where he helps lead a large percussion studio with a faculty team that spans orchestral playing, contemporary music, improvisation, and drum set. We talk about the balance between performing and teaching, and how parenting an 18-year-old college student has changed the way he supports first-year undergrads. Doug also tells the story of his long relationship with composer John Luther Adams, including how a formative early experience with Strange and Sacred Noise eventually led to performances in the Alaskan tundra, floating stages in Central Park, and outdoor concerts where the audience hikes in and the environment becomes part of the piece. We wrap up with what's ahead for Doug, including significant projects, collaborations, performances, and the ongoing joy of bringing students into real work that proves their “crazy ideas” can matter in the world.Music from the Episode:Nagoya Marimbas (Steve Reich, composer - Todd Meehan & Doug Perkins, marimbas)XY (Michael Gordon, composer - Doug Perkins, percussion)Strange and Sacred Noise (John Luther Adams, composer - Morris Palter, Rob Esler, Steven Schick, & Doug Perkins - percussion)Thank you for listening.

In this gripping episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, Fred from Alaska shares two unforgettable encounters from the remote Alaskan backcountry—stories that still stand among my all-time favorites.The first takes us to the Savage River, where Douglas from Anchorage joins a search effort for the missing Mary Wilson. What begins as a somber mission quickly turns unsettling as unexplained sounds echo through the wilderness and Douglas comes face-to-face with something massive, silent, and unmistakably watching him from the shadows.The second encounter unfolds on the Yna River during what was supposed to be a routine trout fishing trip with Chris, Doug, and Fred. The calm of the river is shattered when rocks begin raining down from the treeline, their canoe mysteriously vanishes, and blood-curdling screams erupt in the darkness. Forced into a desperate overnight escape, the men realize they're being stalked by something intelligent, elusive, and terrifyingly persistent.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.

Tyler Johnson grew up on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. He's no stranger to brown bears and wild places. A little over a year ago, however, on a backcountry black bear hunt with his Dad, they surprised a bedded brown bear and she predictably came at them. In this episode, you're going to hear the full story of survival and ways you can prevent this from happening to you.    I always find these kinds of stories to be super important for all of us. Tyler is an experienced outdoorsman, and his Dad a longtime veteran as an Alaskan game warden. Despite all this, they were even caught off guard in the Alaskan backcountry and somehow made it out alive. I personally tend to get a bit complacent in the griz country that I hunt, so this was an excellent reminder that no matter how comfortable we get in the mountains, these bears are there and extremely dangerous when spooked.

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.

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.

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.

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. Featuring a gripping performance by Evil Idol 2025 competitor Greg Louis, this week's tale immerses listeners in a firsthand account of scientific ambition pushed far past its limits.
