Podcasts about portlock

Alaska is a place where beauty and danger coexist, drawing people into vast wilderness that doesn't forgive mistakes. From haunted hotels and burial grounds in Anchorage to vanishings within the Alaska Triangle and Indigenous legends of beings that lure travelers away from safety, the line between the natural and the paranormal feels thin. The episode explores abandoned towns like Portlock, fatal pilgrimages to Bus 142, and modern tragedies that show how isolation turns curiosity into risk. In the Last Frontier, whether the danger comes from the land, the weather, or something just out of sight, not everyone who enters makes it back.

Join me and a special guest for this exciting episode as we learn the secrets of Portlock Alaska!

This is the talk from our 10:45 service on 18 January 2026. The reading was Genesis 16:1-15 and 17:15-22. Richard continues our Genesis series on Abraham, exploring Sarai and Abram's impatience, Hagar's flight, and the God who sees and cares. We trace the messy fallout when we try to hurry God's promises, and the surprising grace shown to the most vulnerable. God reaffirms his plan through Sarah and Isaac, while still blessing Ishmael. The talk urges us to wait, trust, and keep walking when we wobble—knowing God's purposes stand, and his mercy meets us where we are.

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 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.

This is the talk from our 10:45 service on 10 November 2024. The reading was Micah 4:1-5. In this thoughtful Remembrance Sunday reflection, Richard explores what remembrance truly means for Christians - not just honouring the past, but actively working for peace in the present and future. Drawing on Micah's powerful prophecy of swords being beaten into ploughshares, the talk examines the tension between commemorating those who died in war whilst rejecting war itself. Richard challenges us to see remembrance as more than sentiment, calling us to be peacemakers who work for God's justice and righteousness in our families, workplaces and communities. A timely reminder that true peace requires more than simply stopping conflict.

This is the talk from our 10:45 service on 13th July 2025. The reading was 1 Peter 4:1-19. In this powerful talk, Jane explores how Christian hope transforms our response to suffering and trials. Drawing from Peter's letter to persecuted believers, we're challenged to develop a hope that endures suffering, chooses holiness, and glorifies God even in trials. Through personal stories and contemporary examples—from Olympic determination to wartime ministry in Ukraine—we discover that authentic Christian hope isn't about avoiding hardship but shining through it. The talk reminds us that our calling isn't merely to start the Christian race but to finish it well, living counter-culturally with prayer, love, hospitality, and faithful service.

This is the talk from our 10:45 service on 18 May 2025. The reading was from 1 Peter 1:13-21. In this talk, Richard explores the theme of hope, emphasising that for Christians, hope is a firm confidence rooted in trust in God's promises and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He challenges us to make belief in and experience of Christ's resurrection our daily pattern, letting it shape our attitudes and actions. Richard encourages us to be "fully invested in hope," staking everything on the trustworthiness of God's promise, just as the parables of the hidden treasure and pearl of great price illustrate.

Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who will be seen taking heroin, believing that it's pixie dust.  From the minds that brought you all Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey brings you a nightmarish tale of Peter Pan and Neverland. However, the movie will only be in theaters for three days in the United States: January 13th through the 15th. I sat down with the man himself, the talented actor who played Peter Pan in this grim version of the beloved children's book. After watching the trailer, this story puts a whole new twist on what we believe is something wholesome. However, with the blood and gore, the audience can expect to see something new brought to the Twisted Children's Universe (TCU). With that being said, it was wonderful to talk to Martin and I absolutely loved how he went into character for a bit, something for all of us to look forward to when the movie hits theaters January 13th.

Today we get into some of the most chilling and controversial tales in Sasquatch and cryptid lore. From the eerie disappearances in Portlock, Alaska, to the infamous Dyatlov Pass incident, we explore the darker side of these legends and the psychological phenomena that fuel our interpretations.  The Portlock Alaska Mystery We start in the once-thriving town of Portlock, Alaska, where legends tell of a community driven to abandon their homes due to attacks by a hostile Sasquatch. We examine historical accounts, speak with experts to understand the socio-economic factors at play, and explore whether there's more to the story than mythic creatures.The Dyatlov Pass Tragedy Next, we travel to the snowy slopes of the Ural Mountains in Russia, where nine hikers tragically lost their lives under mysterious circumstances in 1959. Theories about their demise range from avalanches to military experiments, but some insist a Yeti was involved. We dissect the evidence and consider the plausibility of a cryptid encounter. Pareidolia and Sasquatch Research In our final segment, we revisit an experiment I recently conducted with a photo of a stump that many mistook for a Sasquatch. This discussion highlights how pareidolia—seeing faces and forms in mundane objects—can lead even the most earnest researchers astray. We'll talk about the importance of critical thinking and maintaining scientific integrity in cryptid research. Today's journey  these chilling tales not only entertains but reminds us of the power of folklore and perception in shaping our understanding of the unknown. As we chase shadows in the wilderness, let's also shine a light on the facts and fictions that guide us. Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review "Sasquatch Odyssey" on your favorite podcast platform.

Living in Alaska has given Beans the unique opportunity to investigate Alaskan cryptids and mysteries such as the abandoned town Portlock, in Port Chatham, Alaska. Beans has participated in expeditions to other Bigfoot hotspots around the country and has appeared in multiple documentaries and television shows. Beans currently hosts the podcast Alasquatch and has written the first non-fiction book on the subject of Port Chatham: Abandoned the History and Horror of Port Chatham, Alaska. You can find him at his website www.alasquatchpodcast.com   Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a legendary creature that has been a part of North American folklore for centuries. In Alaska, sightings of this elusive creature have contributed to the state's rich tapestry of mysterious stories. Often described as a large, ape-like being covered in dark hair, Bigfoot is said to inhabit the dense forests, remote mountain ranges, and vast wilderness areas of Alaska. The state's rugged terrain, with its dense woods, snow-covered peaks, and expansive swamps, makes it an ideal setting for such a cryptid to remain hidden from human eyes. Many locals and visitors claim to have seen large footprints, heard eerie howls, or found strange hair samples that they believe belong to Bigfoot. Native Alaskan tribes, including the Tlingit and the Athabaskan, have long had their own versions of the creature in their oral traditions, describing forest-dwelling beings that are often seen as spiritual or supernatural entities. The legend of Bigfoot continues to thrive in Alaska, where it is part of a larger fascination with the unexplained and the wild frontier. Whether myth or reality, the idea of Bigfoot adds to the allure and mystery of Alaska's untamed wilderness. The presence of Bigfoot in Alaskan folklore is not a new phenomenon. Indigenous groups, such as the Tlingit, Athabaskan, and Haida peoples, have long had their own traditions of wild, forest-dwelling beings that bear similarities to the modern-day Bigfoot legend. These creatures are often viewed not just as physical beings but also as spiritual entities with deep ties to the natural world. The region's isolation and vast expanses of wilderness contribute to the mystery surrounding these sightings, as the wilderness remains largely unexplored. While there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of Bigfoot in Alaska or anywhere else, the continuous reports of strange encounters keep the legend alive. Whether rooted in myth, misidentification, or a genuine unknown, Bigfoot remains a captivating part of Alaska's culture and its allure as a land of mystery and discovery.

#JoinTheTalk with Bailey and Ty on a chilling journey into two of the most mystifying Sasquatch encounters ever reported. From the icy enigma of the Minnesota Iceman to the haunted mysteries of Portlock, Alaska— #QuestionEverything

Tim Portlock is a contemporary landscape artist currently with the UW-Madison Nelson Institute and the School of Education's Art Department. His current work uses 3D animation and drone footage to create […] The post Tim Portlock on Urban Landscapes and Environmental Challenges appeared first on WORT-FM 89.9.

Maybe it's paranormal. Maybe it's not. You judge for yourself. What has caused a town in Alaska to be completely abandoned? Is it an urban legend or maybe something even scarier? Find out now on this episode of Real Paranormal Talk!

In the abandoned town of Portlock, Alaska, something terrifying lurks: the Nantinaq, Alaska's giant Bigfoot. In this Metaphysical episode, Rob and John investigate sightings of the strange “hairy man of Alaska,” discussing whether these claims are real, false, or if perhaps the answer lies somewhere in the middle. They also look into a place dubbed “Bigfoot Island,” and some extremely bizarre occurrences of 1500 lb. trees being turned upside down and driven 4 feet deep into the ground, with no evidence of human equipment involved in the process. There is no stranger account of an Alaskan mystery than that of the abandoned village of Port Chatham, Alaska (Portlock). Residents were reportedly chased out by a series of murders, which were blamed on a strange beast from the forest. Now, the reports are split between 1) debunkers claiming there's no evidence of the creature and 2) hunters traveling to the area, spending thousands to locate what they call the Alaskan Nantinaq—a Bigfoot larger, stronger and more ferocious than any other on the planet. And why wouldn't it be? Not just anything can survive in Alaska. Of stories and evidence of Bigfoot sightings around the world, some stand out more than others, especially when you get to the mysterious territories in the north and especially when you get to Alaska—a sparsely populated, volatile countryside in which legends have been passed down for generations verbally. Today, the mysteries have trickled down to Alaska's current American inhabitants. Join investigative researcher Rob Counts and remote viewer John Vivanco for a show that's out of this world.

What happens when you come face to face with Sasquatch, and it changes your life forever? Ron Morehead, researcher and recorder of the infamous Sierra sounds, has brought a new angle to the often one-dimensional view of bigfoot, and now, Mike Browne and Morgan Knudsen are trying to get to the bottom of these remarkable encounters.  What crucial advice did Ron give to researchers when he went to Portlock, Alaska, to investigate the killings attributed to bigfoot? And why is our own perception such a key factor in having an experience with these incredible beings?  Get Ron's book here: https://www.amazon.ca/Quantum-Bigfoot-Bringing-Spirituality-Together/dp/0985115157 Learn more about your ad choices.

Jeff Davis joins the show to talk about Alaskan Killer Bigfoot, working on paranormal television shows, the Northern Lights and more.The town of Portlock, Alaska, was established in the 19th century as a cannery, particularly for salmon. However, in the 1940s, Portlock became a ghost town, as a terrifying bigfoot-like creature known as Nantinaq chased all the villagers out. A team was dispatched back to the location of the former settlement to recon the area and see what will be needed to resettle and reestablish.

I've lived in Hawaii for almost three decades, primarily in the southern part of the island in an area known as Hawaii Kai. If you're on Oahu, I highly recommend stopping in this community before heading along the coast.  This community is the gateway to Hawaii's most beautiful coastline; the Ka Iwi Coast, located approximately 15 miles south of Waikiki.  Getting there is an easy, short drive from Waikiki, and along the way is Koko Marina Shopping Center. It's the perfect stop for an early morning breakfast before exploring the coast or spending the day at Hanauma Bay.  Here, you'll find local shops, restaurants, and the famous Leonard's Malasada truck. Malasadas are Hawaii's answer to doughnuts, and people flock from all over the world to try them.  This coastal stretch spans about 8 miles and features numerous must-see attractions. I frequently hike along this coastline, which has made it an intimately familiar place, and I consistently find it awe-inspiring.  Ka Iwi" in Hawaiian means "the bone," and there are multiple interpretations of how it was named. However, it is generally believed that the name serves as a reminder of the significant importance that bones hold, as they are believed to contain "Mana," or a person's soul. It is also thought that Ka Iwi coast was one of the first landing sites for the Native Hawaiians who arrived from Polynesia on Oahu. You can take as little or as much time as you like to explore the coast, and there are a couple of stops where you can pause and spend the day, if you wish. For example, you could spend the day at Hanauma Bay or combine the Makapuu Lighthouse hike with an afternoon swim at Waimanalo Beach, a little further up the coast. If you want to take a scenic drive, the coast is perfect for that and will take about an hour to complete, with short stops at the various lookouts along the way.  These are the highlights to explore; China Walls  China Walls Cliffs Just South of Koko Marina, you can discover China Walls. It's accessed from the Portlock residential neighborhood via a park at Hanepepe Place.  It's known for its dramatic natural rock formations, which create a series of cliffs and ledges along the shoreline. Visitors should know that cliff jumping can be dangerous and should exercise caution if considering it. Koko Crater As you continue south on Kalanianaole Highway, you'll see a lookout on the left side with a view of Koko Crater. Feel free to park your car and capture some photos, and be sure to glance back toward Waikiki for a spectacular view of the south side, including Diamond Head. Koko Crater Lookout Lanai Lookout After passing Hanauma Bay, you'll come across Lanai Lookout. On a clear day, you can spot the islands of Lanai and Molokai, which is how it got its name. During the winter months, which is whale-watching season, you might even catch sight of whales breaching in the ocean. Lanai Lookout - Ka Iwi Coast Halona Blowhole The next attraction is the Halona Blow Hole as you proceed along the coast. It's a natural geyser that ejects a spray of water when wave energy collides with the rocky shoreline. Additionally, there's an access point to Halona Beach Cove, which you can reach via a steep pathway adjacent to the parking area. This may look familiar since it's a popular filming location for Movies and TV shows. Halona Blow Hole Sandy Beach Park Sandy's, as locals commonly call it, is a stretch of golden sandy beach situated at the foot of Koko Crater. The beach isn't particularly safe for swimming due to the strong shore break. However, if you are an experienced boogie boarder or bodysurfer, this is the ideal spot for you. Alternatively, I recommend simply driving through and making a stop at the tide pools just beyond the beach. You can dip your toes in the water or wade in if you prefer. Sandy Beach Park Makapuu Lookout and Lighthouse  The final destination along the coast is Makapu...

The state of Alaska is home to many things; an abundant salamon population, flowing streams and rivers, wildlife, and oh yeah....a sasquatch-like monster that's been ripping people in half since the 1800's. Join us as we uncover the terrifying tales from Portlock, AK!

The fishing village of Portlock, Alaska was abandoned in the 1950s and the stories ran rabid on why everyone would leave a still prosperous and lively town. The natives told stories of the vicious creature that stalked the woods that they referred to as the Nantiinaq. The upright walking hair covered creature stalked the past and it never left. Bodies of hunters showed up in the bay, a man was found bludgeoned to death, and many witnessed this giant wildman of the woods with regularity. Rumor has it, the tension got so bad with the creature or that everyone left their established lives in order to save themselves and their families. Today we dive into the story behind Portlock and the Nantiinaq. Welcome back to Infinite Rabbit Hole! infiniterabbithole.com

My friend Michele Portlock (married mother of 4) joins us to share her story. Michele talks about parenting neurodivergent children (e.g. ADHD, Autism) which led her to go back to college to get a Masters Degree in special education and start an LLC called Navigating the Spectrum—which also includes a podcast. Michele brings her experience as a parent, academic training, and professional work to bring more tools and understanding to “better show up” for neurodivergent children. I learned so much listening to Michele. Michele also talks about her gay daughter Brielle who recently graduated college. She talks about working through autism, anxiety, and dark times around her sexual orientation—to now a thriving daughter who is doing much good in the world with her college work and her plans for a PhD. Michele talks about the correlation between neurodivergent children and not being straight—but she clearly points out that being neurodivergent is a diagnosis while not being straight is who people are. And ending being neurodivergent doesn't change someone sexual orientation/gender identity. Michele also talks about the journey to love and support her daughter Brielle as she has stepped away from the Church and rebuilding their relationship in new and thoughtful ways. Thank you, Michele, for being on the podcast and your wonderful work in our community. I encourage all parents (even without neurodivergent children) to listen to this podcast to learn how we can better love and support others.
