Bigfoot Destroys Heavy EquipmentBill, a forest ranger student and Timber Cruiser in Eureka, California, worked alone on weekends marking redwood trees for logging. One Monday, he and the logging crew arrived at their forest landing—a cleared area for storing equipment and fuel—to find an astonishing scene: three 55-gallon fuel drums had been thrown down a hill, a locked tool shed was overturned, and, most unbelievably, three 54-ton D-9 Caterpillar tractors had been flipped onto their sides. The crew was baffled by the immense strength required for such feats, and no explanation for the mysterious incident was ever found.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

Bluffing the Monster - Dogman Wrecks Summer CampIn the summer of 1987, during a Catholic Youth Organization retreat in the mountains, Youth Ministers along with a group of youths and adults, experienced an unsettling incident. While walking across a large field at night after preparing breakfast, they encountered what they initially thought was a dog. However, the creature stood on two legs, revealing itself as a large, off-white, humanoid figure that silenced the surroundings. Terrified, the Minister brandished a pocket knife, and when he approached, the creature retreated into the woods and vanished. The group reported the sighting to authorities, who seemed unsurprised, prompting the retreat to end early the next day.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

Cajuns Hunting BigfootAs a kid infatuated with Bigfoot, I worked summers for my dad's painting business, where I met a crew member from Louisiana who shared a chilling tale. His uncle, a seasoned big game hunter, ventured into a notorious Louisiana swamp to hunt a Sasquatch, only to be found days later, nearly dead, aged, and paralyzed, claiming he'd become the hunted. Undeterred, the nephew and his friends entered the same swamp for revenge and deer hunting, but their first night turned chaotic when an eerie silence, a foul odor, and a towering creature with glowing eyes invaded their camp, sparking panic, gunfire, and a frantic escape. They later found their campsite destroyed, and though some dismissed the story, the nephew's fierce defense of his experience convinced me of his belief in the creature's existence.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

A Creature Named Ole RedIn 1997, a ten-year-old spending the summer with their grandmother in Florida had a startling encounter on the way to their grandfather's house in Geneva. While driving, they spotted a seven-foot-tall, bipedal creature with orange-reddish hair resembling an orangutan crossing the road. The creature paused to stare at them before continuing on. Upon arriving at their grandfather's, they learned he called it “Ole Red,” a creature he claimed as a pet alongside his deer, squirrels, and raccoons. Though initially skeptical, the sighting left the child questioning whether Ole Red was a released pet or a wild, orangutan-like animal native to Florida's swamps, a mystery lingering long after their grandparents' passing.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

Living on a poor turnip farm, a young boy was sent to fetch water one night. On the way back from the stream, he encountered a terrifying, giant hairy creature with eerie green eyes, causing him to scream and abandon the bucket in a panicked dash back to the house. His father, skeptical of the story, dismissed it as foolishness and insisted they retrieve the water, accompanying him to the porch but making him return alone. The boy spotted the creature again near the barn while retrieving the bucket, but his father nonchalantly suggested it was just bathing, leaving the incident unresolved. The experience became a source of ongoing teasing from his family and friends, persisting into the present day.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

A woman and her husband once enjoyed the lighthearted hobby of exploring Bigfoot lore, often visiting Bankhead National Forest and joking about spotting the creature, until a chilling encounter changed her perspective. After adopting a pit bull named Bond, who began refusing to go outside at night, she experienced a terrifying moment when a loud, unidentifiable growl and howl erupted nearby while walking him, causing the dog to drag her back into the house in fear. This incident, coupled with strange deer behavior on their rural property and childhood memories of unexplained noises dismissed by adults, left her questioning what might lurk in the surrounding woods and fields. Though she couldn't pinpoint the source of the sound—ruling out bears, pigs, or cats—she now believes something large occasionally passes through their area near the foothills, a suspicion reinforced by Bond's ongoing reluctance to venture out after dark.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

A social worker driving a 15-year-old foster child from Feather County through Lassen National Park encountered an unexpected and surreal event. As they navigated the treacherous mountain pass, the teen requested to play her music, a brief moment of normalcy overshadowed by the fading light and dangerous curves. Suddenly, a massive, jet-black creature—later identified as a Bigfoot—emerged onto the road, forcing the social worker to slam on the brakes and swerve, narrowly avoiding both the beast and a deadly drop. The car skidded to a stop, tires screeching and the air thick with the smell of burning rubber, while a Chevy pickup behind them nearly collided. After the creature vanished into the trees, both the stunned social worker and the profanity-dropping teen, along with the pickup driver, were left questioning reality as they silently continued the journey back to her foster home.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 Pack Surrounds MarinesIn 1974, on a Marine Corps base in North Carolina, five combat-hardened Marines, including a sniper with Vietnam experience, encountered four Sasquatches while fishing near a river. Initially enjoying a peaceful day by a bridge and small island, their outing turned terrifying when they heard massive, bipedal creatures crashing through dense, snake-infested brush, hurling branches, and emitting bone-rattling screams. The creatures, one of which was glimpsed as an eight-foot-tall, rust-haired figure with broad shoulders, executed a series of bluff charges toward the group, alternating from both sides of the river in a seemingly coordinated effort. Retreating to the island for safety, the Marines endured fifteen minutes of this ordeal before the Sasquatches, possibly working as a group to herd them, fled downstream and upriver, leaving the men shaken and determined to keep the incident secret to protect their careers, forever altering their perception of the wilderness.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

A Monster Tormented Them For YearsFrom 1977 to 1979, a family living in a remote house near the San Bernardino County mountains in Yucaipa, California, experienced repeated encounters with a mysterious creature they believed to be Bigfoot. The disturbances began one winter night with loud thuds on the roof, followed by sightings of a massive, hairy, bipedal figure that crossed roads, leapt fences, and lingered near their chimney. The creature's presence escalated over time, marked by foul odors wafting through open windows, blocked views of distant lights, and even direct confrontations, including a terrifying moment when it stared at the narrator's father through a window. Despite attempts to scare it off with shotguns and group pursuits, the creature persisted, harassing the family nightly—hitting the house, testing doors, and leaping off the roof—leaving them in constant fear until they moved out in 1979, an event the narrator, then a child, recalls as the happiest day of their life.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 Appeared Out of Nowhere. Bigfoot PTSDAt 29, the narrator and his wife were on a night walk near Olympic National Park when they heard strange noises in the woods. Initially dismissing it as small animals, the sounds grew closer, causing his wife to panic. The narrator, armed with a pistol, soon realized they were being chased. When they reached their vehicle, a large, terrifying creature appeared, and the narrator shot at it as it fled. Later, the creature reappeared, and after another encounter with gunfire, it limped off. The experience haunted the narrator's wife, leading to a stroke, and left the narrator with lasting fears and nightmares.

Is Sasquatch a Savage Killer?During a routine walk in the woods, the writer, who had a horse lead on their companion Autumn due to a previous incident, suddenly finds themselves face-to-face with two mysterious, large, and muscular creatures. These beings, one around the writer's height and the other over eight feet tall, have moss-like green highlights and reddish-brown hair. The taller one gazes at the narrator with what appears to be an apologetic look, and an emotional bond forms as the narrator recognizes them as a protector, an old friend from past encounters. This connection triggers memories of loneliness and gratitude, as the creatures express a sense of togetherness and pack loyalty. Years later, the writer, now estranged from their family, learns from their mother that the creatures—specifically the tall one—have been watching over her too, a gesture that seems to carry a sense of vengeance for past wrongs.Submit your encounter to dixiecryptid@gmail.comJoin my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support
