Are Grizzlies Endangered? Should they be delisted? Do they even belong here? Grizzly bears are without a doubt one of the most polarizing species we have in the United States, and since their placement on the endangered species list in 1975 they have been on the forefront of conversations concerning wildlife issues. In this episode of Backwoods University we approach the topic head on with two very different perspectives. The first perspective coming from Casey Anderson, a lifelong outdoorsman, naturalist, award-winning film maker and bear fanatic, and the second perspective coming from Jeremiah Smith, Danielle Oyler, and Kyle Orozco of Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks.

Camp Crystal Lake has long stood abandoned, its bloody history etched into the memories of all who grew up hearing the stories: the boy who drowned, the grieving mother who lost her mind, and the masked killer who rose from the depths to exact vengeance on anyone foolish enough to trespass.When seven teenagers venture into the ruins of the infamous camp at the start of summer vacation, they expect to find nothing more than decaying cabins and ghost stories to take home. Instead, they awaken something far darker.As night falls, the shadows come alive with the presence of Jason Voorhees himself, his unrelenting rage spilling once again across the grounds of the cursed lake.But Jason is not the only predator stalking these woods. Far older eyes watch the carnage unfold—eyes belonging to the Sasquatch, ancient guardians who have roamed these forests since long before human footsteps disturbed the earth. They have witnessed decades of blood at Crystal Lake with quiet detachment, but tonight, their silence will break.When the Sasquatch intervene to save two boys from Jason's rampage, it is not mercy that drives them but necessity. They know what the teenagers do not: every disappearance invites search parties, helicopters, thermal scans, and tracking dogs. Too much human attention threatens their existence, and so balance must be restored by any means necessary.What follows is a collision of legends—a battle of monsters bound by ancient instincts, hidden laws, and territories marked in blood.For the terrified survivors, the forest becomes a maze of horrors where every shadow holds a choice: fall to Jason's blade, stumble into the wrath of the Sasquatch, or discover the grim truth of why these creatures hide from mankind.The story does not end with the night. One year later, the survivors are pulled back into a conflict that stretches beyond their worst nightmares, forced into uneasy alliance with the very monsters they once fled. Together, they must confront something far older, far darker, and far more dangerous than either Jason or the Sasquatch.Prepare yourself for a descent into the deep woods, where myths bleed into reality, where monsters protect by destroying, and where the real horror isn't what hunts you—it's what decides to let you live. Best experienced in complete darkness with headphones… though you may want to keep a light close. Some stories have a way of following you home.

Blackwood Gorge looks like paradise on a postcard—towering firs, crystal streams, and endless trails. But beneath the beauty lies something older than legend, something that's been watching the woods for longer than humans have walked them. For years, hikers have vanished here, leaving behind only impossible clues: backpacks hanging twenty feet up in the trees, footprints far too large to belong to any man, and wood knocks that echo like warnings in the dark.This is the story of The Huntsman—a serial killer who believed the wilderness would hide his crimes. But Blackwood Gorge was already claimed by another predator, one that knows the difference between the innocent and the guilty. As the body count grows and desperation sets in, the hunter becomes the hunted, and the forest delivers justice in the only way it knows how: primal, ancient, and merciless.⚠️ Listener Warning: This story contains graphic descriptions of violence, murder, psychological terror, and death. It deals with predatory behavior and with forms of justice that exist outside human law.

In the shadow of Vermont's Glastenbury Mountain lies one of New England's most enduring mysteries, a dark chapter in American history that begins with a simple walk in the woods that ended in oblivion. On November 12, 1945, Middie Rivers, a 74-year-old hunting guide who knew the wilderness like the back of his weathered hands, told his companions he'd walk ahead to their camp. He never arrived. His disappearance would mark the beginning of a five-year period during which five people would vanish in the same remote area of southwestern Vermont, leaving behind grieving families, baffled search parties, and questions that remain unanswered to this day.This episode delves deep into the haunting history of what author Joseph Citro would later christen the Bennington Triangle, exploring not just the famous disappearances but the centuries of strangeness that preceded them. We begin with the ancient Abenaki people, who considered the mountain cursed and warned of a place where the four winds met in eternal struggle, where a malevolent stone could swallow the unwary whole. Their oral traditions speak of the mountain as sacred and dangerous in equal measure, a dwelling place of their god Tabaldak and home to creatures that walked upright like men but were something altogether different. The narrative traces the doomed attempts at settlement from Benning Wentworth's blind charter in 1761 through the brutal logging era that briefly brought prosperity and violence to the mountain. We examine the murders that stained the settlement's history, including the chilling 1892 killing of John Crowley by Henry McDowell, who claimed voices in his head commanded him to kill, and who later escaped from a mental hospital to vanish as completely as the mountain's later victims. The story follows Glastenbury's transformation from a rough logging town to a failed tourist resort, destroyed by flooding after just one season, and ultimately to Vermont's first unincorporated town, legally erased from existence in 1937.The heart of our investigation focuses on the five disappearances that would make the Bennington Triangle infamous. We explore each case in detail, from Paula Welden, the Bennington College sophomore whose vanishing in a bright red jacket inspired massive searches and the creation of the Vermont State Police, to James Tedford, whose impossible disappearance from a moving bus full of witnesses defies all rational explanation. We examine young Paul Jepson, the special needs child who spoke of nothing but the mountains for days before vanishing from his mother's truck, and Frieda Langer, the experienced hiker whose body mysteriously appeared seven months later in an area that had been thoroughly searched.Throughout the narrative, we weave together the various theories that have emerged over the decades to explain these disappearances.From the possibility of a serial killer stalking the mountain trails to indigenous legends of the Bennington Monster, from interdimensional portals and time slips to the more prosaic but no less terrifying reality of a wilderness that simply doesn't want human presence. We explore how the mountain's unusual geology, with its disorienting wind patterns and hidden sinkholes, might create natural traps that could swallow hikers without a trace.The episode also examines the cultural impact of the Bennington Triangle, from Shirley Jackson's psychological horror novel "Hangsaman" to modern paranormal investigations and the continuing reports of strange experiences on Glastenbury Mountain. We discuss contemporary encounters, including hikers who report inexplicable disorientation, time distortions, and the overwhelming feeling of being watched by something in the dense forest.We also take a look at recent incidents like the 2008 case of Robert Singley, who became lost on the same trail where Paula Welden vanished despite modern equipment and clear weather, finding the landscape seemed to change around him as he walked. Drawing from historical documents, newspaper archives, census records, and indigenous oral traditions, this comprehensive investigation presents the most complete picture possible of the Bennington Triangle mystery.We explore how a place that once housed 241 souls now officially contains just eight residents, how the forest has reclaimed most traces of human habitation, and how the mountain continues to exert its strange influence on those who venture onto its slopes.This is more than just a true crime story or a collection of ghost tales. It's an exploration of how landscapes can become legendary, how unexplained tragedies transform into folklore, and how some mysteries endure precisely because they resist solution.The Bennington Triangle stands as a reminder that even in our mapped and measured world, there remain places where people can simply step off the path and vanish forever, where the line between the possible and impossible becomes as twisted and unclear as a trail through dark Vermont woods.As we trace the history from ancient Abenaki warnings through colonial settlement, industrial exploitation, and modern mystery, one truth emerges clearly: some places don't want to be inhabited, some stories don't want to be solved, and some people who walk into the woods are never meant to walk out again.

Mikä matalan budjetin amatöörimäisissä, usein väkivaltaa ja seksiä ronskisti yhdistelevissä genre-elokuvissa viehättää? Elokuvateattereihin tuli uudelleenfilmatisointi yhdestä 80-luvun tunnetuimmasta roskaelokuvaklassikosta The Toxic Avengerista. Se kertoo kiusatusta teinistä, joka muuttuu ydinjätteen vaikutuksesta epämuodostuneeksi kostajaksi. Uudessa The Toxic Avenger Unrated -elokuvassa näyttelee kavalkadi Hollywoodin kärkikaartia Elijah Woodista Kevin Baconiin ja Peter Dinklageen. Kyseessä ei ole pienen budjetin raina, mutta se on kaikin puolin kunnianosoitus b-elokuvien estetiikalle ja juonenkäänteille. Miksi nimekkäät tekijät halusivat tehdä nk. roskaelokuvan? Amatöörimäisten b-elokuvien tuotanto on vahvaa edelleen myös Suomessa. Elokuvateatterilevitykseen tuli vast'ikään peikkojen ja ihmisten yhteenotosta kertova Backwood Madness. Lyhytelokuvien saralla kansainvälisesti palkittu Prey. Kill. Fuck. Repeat. edustaa myös modernia b-elokuvaa. Niin ikään kotimainen mukamentti eli pseudodokkari Carlotta Moore & Me julkaistaan DVD:nä kuluvan kuun lopussa. Mistä inspiraatio tällaisten elokuvien tekemiseen kumpuaa, ja kenelle elokuvat ovat pääsääntöisesti tarkoitettu? Miten roskaelokuvagenre on kehittynyt vuosien varrella? Millainen on sen historia? Kulttuuriykkönen keskustelee aiheesta elokuvohjaajien Rauli Ylitalon ja Christer "CHRZU" Lindströmin sekä Trash Video -tuotantoyhtiön Ville Lähteen kanssa. Juhani Kenttämaa toimittaa.

Journey into the heart of Kentucky's most terrifying legend with this comprehensive exploration of the Pope Lick Monster, a cryptid that has haunted Louisville for over eight decades.This ten-thousand-word narrative traces the evolution of a local legend that refuses to remain merely legendary, examining documented encounters, mysterious deaths, and the increasingly disturbing pattern of events surrounding the Norfolk Southern Railway trestle that spans Pope Lick Creek.Our investigation begins in the 1940s with the first recorded sightings of a creature that defies biological explanation—a seven-foot-tall hybrid of man and goat that stalks the shadows beneath the railroad bridge. Through meticulous research of historical records, witness testimonies, and investigative reports, we explore how what started as whispered folklore has evolved into something far more complex and terrifying. The narrative examines multiple origin theories, from a circus train disaster in the early 1900s to the curse of a Depression-era sheep herder, each attempting to explain the impossible existence of this creature.The story takes a dark turn as we document the deaths and disappearances associated with the trestle, including the tragic fate of teenagers who dared to cross the bridge, the mysterious three-day disappearance of university student Jennifer Walsh in 1984, and the recent vanishing of seventeen people in 2024. We analyze the disturbing pattern that emerges from these incidents, particularly the reports of victims being "called" or "invited" by the creature through dreams and visions.Special attention is given to the scientific investigations that have attempted to understand the phenomenon, including Dr. Lawrence Kingston's 1968 expedition that recorded unexplained acoustic anomalies and hormonal markers, and the 2008 University of Kentucky study that discovered pre-Columbian cave paintings depicting the creature beneath the trestle. The narrative also explores the controversial DNA evidence collected from the caves that shows markers from both human and caprine sources, along with genetic sequences that match no known terrestrial life form.The digital age has brought new dimensions to the Pope Lick Monster phenomenon, from the 2018 mass sighting witnessed by over 300 Louisville residents to the final livestream of paranormal investigator Derek Matthews, who jumped from the trestle while fifty thousand viewers watched in horror. We examine how the creature appears to be adapting to modern technology, including reports of it mimicking human voices in phone calls and learning from social media content posted by its victims.Four primary theories are explored to explain the creature's existence. The interdimensional hypothesis suggests the monster is a visitor from a parallel dimension, manifesting at a weak point between worlds. The genetic experiment theory points to classified military documents referencing "Operation Chimera" and escaped specimens from caprine-human hybridization trials in the 1940s.The tulpa theory proposes the creature is a manifestation of collective human fear and belief, while the ancient entity theory, supported by indigenous oral traditions and pre-Columbian artifacts, suggests something far older and more terrifying has dwelt in this area since before recorded history.Recent developments have attracted federal attention, with a joint task force comprising the FBI, CDC, and Department of Defense establishing operations in Louisville in 2024. Leaked documents suggest the government has been monitoring "Biological Anomaly PL-1" since 1953, with multiple failed attempts to capture or eliminate the entity.The escalating situation, including seventeen missing persons in 2024 alone, has raised concerns about what investigators cryptically refer to as "potential multiplication events."The narrative draws from over eighty years of documented encounters, newspaper accounts, police reports, and witness testimonies to construct the most comprehensive examination of the Pope Lick Monster phenomenon ever assembled.From the creature's evolution from local folklore to its current status as an active federal investigation, we trace how a legend has become a terrifying reality for the people of Louisville.This is not merely a collection of ghost stories or urban legends, but a serious examination of one of America's most persistent and disturbing cryptid phenomena. The Pope Lick Railroad Trestle remains an active railway bridge where multiple people have died in recent years, and the area is now under federal investigation.Whether the Pope Lick Monster is an interdimensional being, a genetic experiment gone wrong, a manifestation of collective fear, or something beyond our current understanding, the evidence suggests that the phenomenon is real, it's escalating, and according to those who claim to know, something significant is coming.The narrative serves both as a historical document and a warning. As reports of encounters increase and the creature's behavior becomes more aggressive and purposeful, the question is no longer whether the Pope Lick Monster exists, but rather what it wants and whether we're prepared for whatever it's planning. The caves beneath the trestle echo with prophecies written in multiple languages, all carrying the same chilling message about bringing others in exchange for being spared. The monster that once lurked in local legend has become something far more dangerous, and its story is far from over.Listen to the locals. Heed the warnings. Stay away from the trestle. Some mysteries are better left unsolved, and some bridges should never be crossed.

In the summer of 2007, two sixteen-year-old boys from Mountain View, Arkansas set out for what was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime—three carefree weeks at a remote hunting cabin deep in the Ozark National Forest. Days of fishing, video games, and freedom quickly gave way to something far darker.What began as innocent summer fun spiraled into a nightmare that would shatter their lives forever. The boys came face to face with beings that should not exist—creatures walking upright like men, yet inhuman in every way.Their wolf-like faces were twisted into unnatural smiles, lined with too many teeth, and their piercing, intelligent eyes carried a predatory awareness no animal should ever have.Fifteen years later, one of those boys is finally ready to speak. Haunted by the trauma that led to his best friend Tyler's tragic death in an alcohol-related accident, the survivor reveals—for the first time—the horrifying truth of what really happened during those four nights in the cabin… and why he stayed silent until now.While we cannot independently verify every detail of his account, the psychological trauma he describes is undeniably consistent with severe PTSD. Whether these creatures existed as reported—or represent a traumatic reinterpretation of a violent wildlife attack—the impact on both young men was catastrophic and real.And it's worth noting: multiple independent accounts from the Ozark region describe eerily similar encounters. Make of that what you will.

Tonight's story comes from a mother named Sarah who reached out to me through a mutual acquaintance after years of keeping silent about what happened to her family in the remote forests of Alabama. When she first contacted me, she could barely get through the telling without breaking down, especially when describing the night she heard her own voice calling her youngest son into the darkness—while she was standing right beside him.Sarah and her two boys, ages ten and twelve, fled to an inherited cabin in the Bankhead National Forest to escape an abusive relationship. What should have been a healing retreat in nature became a two-month ordeal that defies conventional explanation. The creatures that stalked her family didn't just throw rocks or make strange vocalizations—they learned. They studied. They mimicked the family's voices with perfect accuracy, always trying to lure one of them outside.What makes Sarah's account particularly disturbing is the apparent intelligence behind these encounters. These weren't random animal behaviors but calculated attempts to separate and take her youngest son, Ben. The female creature that Sarah describes seemed to be mourning a lost child of her own, leading to questions about what these beings actually are and what they truly wanted with a human boy. The historical pattern Sarah uncovered in old newspaper archives—children vanishing in that exact area for decades—adds another layer of horror to her experience. Each disappearance left behind the same massive footprints that were always dismissed by authorities. Some reports even describe tall, hair-covered figures seen with smaller companions that looked almost, but not quite, human. Three years later, Ben still dreams about the "forest mommy" who called to him.At sixteen, he's drawn to wooded areas in ways that terrify his mother, and during a recent camping trip, teachers found him standing at the forest's edge at 3 AM, fully awake, listening to something only he could hear calling from the darkness.Sarah's story raises uncomfortable questions about the nature of these beings and their interest in our children. Are they simply animals operating on instinct? Or are they something more complex—intelligent enough to plan, patient enough to wait, and alien enough that we may never understand their true intentions?As always, I leave it to you to decide what you believe. But Sarah's warning bears repeating: if you ever hear a familiar voice calling from the darkness, especially if it sounds like someone you know is standing right beside you, don't answer. Some things that watch us from the forests have learned our voices, and they're very, very patient.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.

When Daisy May's dog bolts into the trees, Mouse (Maddy), Eileen, and Daisy May give chase—and stumble into something hungry lurking in the brush. Engines roar, claws scrape, and a battered pickup becomes their only lifeline as the creature closes in. The girls race to escape the Backwoods before the monster makes them disappear. A fast, fun creature feature set in the Strickfield universe—equal parts scary, funny, and full-throttle adventure.Things Come in Threes by Rob Fields

Black bears are a native animal to the state of Mississippi. In fact, back in the 1800s all the way to the early 1900s, Mississippi was a sought out destination for black bear hunting. However, due to multiple factors, they were almost pushed to extirpation. In this episode, we are going to learn through hands on experience and a discussion with Mississippi black bear program leader, Anthony Ballard, the conservation history of this particular charismatic megafauna, and dive into why their natural population rebound is stirring up so much controversy among Mississippi residents.

Tonight on Backwoods Bigfoot Stories, we venture deep into Alaska with seven chilling encounters that reveal an alarming rise in Sasquatch aggression. These aren't distant wood knocks—they're face-to-face confrontations forcing hunters to tears and driving families from their cabins.We open with Donnie and Becca's harrowing winter camping trip near their Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta village. An ancient, leathery face circles their tent, sparking a desperate battle between their sled dogs and an unseen predator, ending in an eerie scream amid heavy snow.Bernard's Copper River Valley tale from the 1960s reveals golden-yellow eyes watching him build his cabin, a mimicry of his tools, and impossible feats of strength suggesting intelligence beyond animal instinct.Kirk's family's moose hunt near the Koyukuk River spirals into terror as something imitates his calls—and horrifyingly, communicates telepathically with his wife, demanding their child.A cast-iron skillet twisted effortlessly emphasizes the frightening power they faced.Julius, near Sutton, introduces a spiritual element when a spontaneous prayer repels a nine-foot-tall Sasquatch, aligning with traditional Native beliefs about these beings.Tommy and Alice's recent nightmare in the upper Kuskokwim demonstrates frighteningly intelligent teamwork from two creatures who stalked them and crushed kitchen implements, forcing an emergency evacuation with their daughter.Tony's encounter along the Nushagak River highlights relentless pursuit and infrasound-induced sickness, while Derek's experience at Lynx Lake suggests calculated boundary-testing by multiple creatures.Finally, Randall and Gwen's highway encounters underscore the growing boldness of these beings, resulting in vehicle collisions and prolonged observations of humans.With sightings rapidly increasing and people mysteriously disoriented in familiar terrain, one message resonates loud and clear:Alaska is changing, and the Hairy Man is becoming bolder, smarter, and undeniably dangerous. Listen, heed the warnings, and trust your instincts.

Backwoods Gussy by Jarrod Moxley & Matt Morris

After 25 years of silence, retired forest ranger Carl is finally ready to speak. Not about what he saw—but about what others brought to him. Hikers, fellow rangers, and search-and-rescue volunteers found their way to Carl, each one pale, shaken, and desperate to tell someone who wouldn't laugh. Someone who knew the woods. Someone who might understand.In this chilling episode, Carl opens his personal archive of six unforgettable encounters—stories he quietly collected throughout his career. From a Vietnam veteran relentlessly pursued in the Oregon Cascades in 1974 to a tech-savvy couple whose 2019 hiking trip turned into a viral but quickly buried video, the accounts span decades but echo the same patterns: intelligence, intent, and something just beyond explanation.A deputy sheriff from Kentucky reports what she can only describe as “herding behavior” during a search for two missing hunters.A Colorado ranger finds strange objects left on the steps of his remote outpost. A woman alone in an Adirondack cabin experiences three nights of deliberate, methodical investigation. And a seasoned SAR volunteer recounts a baffling case of a missing hiker who reappeared days later—confused, unharmed, and with no memory of where she'd been.Carl watched these patterns emerge—year after year, region after region. What started as distant glimpses slowly turned into direct encounters. Fear gave way to curiosity.Whatever is out there, Carl believes it's getting closer. More confident. Less concerned with staying hidden.Told with the quiet authority of a man who spent a lifetime in the wild and learned to trust what the trees don't say out loud, these accounts will stay with you long after the episode ends.And next time you find yourself deep in the woods, and that feeling creeps up your spine—that sense that you're not alone—you'll remember this episode. And you'll wonder if it remembers you.

On this episode of Backwoods University, we are going to learn about one of the most extraordinary, impactful, and bold conversations to ever live. And here's the twist, you probably have never heard of her. Fannye Cook was a Mississippian born into a farming family that grew an early love for the natural world. When the demise of most all of the state's forests and game animals faced seemingly eminent peril, she was there to save them.

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.

On this episode of Backwoods University we’re going to find out what really happened to the bobwhite quail and the hunting culture that surrounded it.

Uncle Si reflects on the surprisingly effective backwoods remedies he learned from Phil—including bark chewing, spit paste, and a very unfortunate use for Vick's VapoRub.

Si shares the time he witnessed to a drug dealer in true Si fashion, while Phillip confesses to microwaving a baseball to cheat—because of course he did.
