What happens when a 13-year-old girl looks out her bedroom window and locks eyes—just six inches away—with something impossible? In this chilling and emotional episode, we meet Sandra, a lifelong North Alabama resident who experienced five encounters with a Sasquatch in just two weeks back in 1972. From face-to-face stares through a window to watching a black figure peer into her family's chicken houses, Sandra takes us through vivid, terrifying moments that stayed with her for life. We revisit her farm—stocked with fish, livestock, fruit trees, and caves—and explore the strange patterns that continued decades later, including fresh footprints, whoops in the night, and handprints left on glass. You'll also hear about the local church revival that was shut down by a peeking Bigfoot, and what Sandra's family wouldn't say out loud.Set near the edge of Bankhead National Forest, this is more than just a Bigfoot sighting—it's a multigenerational mystery wrapped in Southern tradition, Cherokee ancestry, and the deep woods of Alabama.Resources: Wood Walkerz Youtube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@woodwalkerz

What happens when a child growing up in 1970s Mississippi begins to piece together forgotten memories of pacing footsteps, missing food, and hidden forest shelters — decades later? In this chilling and thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Eddie, a deeply reflective guest who revisits strange events from his childhood near Waveland and Bay St. Louis.From a church camp warning in Louisiana where something was seen peering into the girls' dorm, to food vanishing from the porch and a mysterious dome-shaped hideout with a horse skull placed inside, Eddie's story is full of eerie, unexplained moments. As he connects these memories with modern Sasquatch encounters, we explore how these beings might be more than just myth — and what they could be trying to tell us.You'll hear stories from the deep South — Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Alabama — including pacing in the woods, massive owl-like sounds, and a slap on a camper wall that no person could've made.Resources:Discussed Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4QcYdT6keQ
What happens when two kids go out blueberry picking in the pine forests of Oscoda, Michigan — and come face-to-face with something that isn't supposed to exist? In this haunting episode, Richie recounts a summer morning in 1971 that would change his life forever. Alongside his older sister, Richie encountered a tall, dark-haired creature walking calmly toward them on a wooded trail — not aggressive, not scared, just watching. What followed was a childhood memory seared into place by fear, disbelief, and the long road to understanding what they saw.You'll hear details of the encounter, from the trail near Van Ettan Lake to the face Richie can still describe over 50 years later. He shares how the sighting led to a lifetime of wondering — and why he believes Bigfoot wasn't there to harm them. This isn't just another encounter story — it's a rare glimpse into the innocent fear of two kids, and a moment that refused to fade.If you're from northern Michigan, pay attention — because this one hits close to home.
What happens when two lifelong friends—and practicing physicians—set out into the California wilderness just to bond over a backpacking trip, but come back with a story they can't explain? In this intense and gripping episode, we sit down with Curtis and David, medical professionals turned amateur investigators, who recount their chilling encounters in the most remote corners of the Siskiyou wilderness and Eastern Washington.From a massive igloo-shaped shelter surrounded by inhuman-sized scat piles to a 16-inch footprint left in a marsh—just hours before they arrived—their findings raise more questions than answers. You'll hear about pine cones thrown in dead silence, twisted trees suspended in the air, and nighttime vocalizations that sounded eerily human.Locations include the legendary Smith River, Kelsey Trail, and the Salmo-Priest wilderness near Sullivan Lake.Listen now to find out what made two doctors believe in Bigfoot.Resources:See what happened when Curtis and David went back to Gypsy Meadows in June on the Salish Sasquatch channel here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf26b6mg3NQ
What happens when two thrill-seeking teens hack a new dirt-bike trail deep into the Hudson Valley woods—and the night suddenly goes dead silent? In this adrenaline-spiking episode, Jeremiah Byron talks with Scott, a lifelong outdoorsman from Red Hook, New York, who still remembers the crunch-crunch-crunch of something massive descending an embankment toward his bright-orange pup tent in the summer of 1976. No flashlight. No breath. Just unstoppable footsteps.Scott walks us through blazing their secret trail, the gas-soaked smell of two-strokes cooling in the dark, and the moment he realized whatever was outside could see without light. We also dive into Hudson Valley hot-spots—Kinderhook, Whitehall, the Catskills—and explore the theory of a migratory Bigfoot route stretching from the Green Mountains to the Poconos.
What happens when a homeschooling mom takes her three daughters on a quiet mid-week camping trip—only to be battered by a nighttime rock attack so violent it dents their tent and sends them fleeing under police escort? In this pulse-pounding episode of Bigfoot Society, Jeremiah Byron sits down with Presley, an Oklahoma mother who never believed in Bigfoot—until April 9th at Lake Tenkiller State Park changed everything.From eerie whistles in the cedars and foul, musky odors to a thunder-like crash that rattled the ground, Presley walks us minute-by-minute through a harrowing encounter that left her worldview shattered.You'll hear how 911 dispatch struggled to reach them, why local deputies kept scanning the treeline, and why Lake Tenkiller's shoreline is whispered about in Cherokee and Choctaw lore.

NOTE: This episode contains stories set in the Bull Run Watershed, a protected area closed to the public. We do not condone or encourage trespassing or violating posted access restrictions. Always respect local laws, regulations, and the environment.What happens when a seasoned Forest Service firefighter finds himself patrolling one of the most restricted, untouched forest zones in Oregon — and begins to feel he's not alone? In this chilling and mysterious episode, we speak with Rick, a former seasonal fire prevention officer for the Zigzag Ranger District, who spent months deep in the Bull Run Watershed — a place off-limits to the public for over 100 years. Rick recalls the haunting silence, the oppressive feeling of being watched, and the unshakable knowledge that something was tracking him through the brush. From eerie encounters in Colorado's Deadman Tower and Pingree Park to being shadowed near Lolo Pass and Large Mountain, Rick's story is a rare look inside the places Bigfoot might truly call home. This episode includes firsthand accounts from NF-10, Hatfield Wilderness, and Bull Run Reservoir #1 — including the terrifying days Rick worked alone, clearing fire access roads… while something watched from just beyond the trees. Don't miss this rare glimpse into one of Oregon's most mysterious regions.
What happens when a new hunter heads into the woods of New Hampshire — and finds something waiting for him in the pines? In this gripping and terrifying episode, we speak with Alex, a fisherman-turned-hunter from Manchester, NH, who shares the moment his life changed forever. While hunting in Bear Brook State Park, Alex encountered what he first thought was a demon — glowing eyes, a massive sprinting figure, and something intelligent that moved through the trees just 30 feet away. He shares his firsthand experience, the fear that kept him out of the woods for over a year, and why he finally went back. You'll hear stories of wood knocks, distant whistles, and footsteps so heavy they shook the ground. This is more than a sighting — it's a face-to-face moment with something that may not be entirely of this world. If you've ever hunted in New England, this is one episode you won't forget.
