The creature, with its pink skin and reddish-pink eyes, stood just a few feet away from him, illuminated by a floodlight. The sheer size and appearance of the Bigfoot left a lasting impression on Alex, making it a memory he wishes he could forget.Resources:Alex's previous episodes: Episode #242: Sasquatch of Prince of Wales Island, Alaska - https://www.bigfootsocietypodcast.com/sasquatch-of-prince-of-wales-island-alaska/Episode #246: Skinwalker Tales & Bigfoot Encounters - https://www.bigfootsocietypodcast.com/skinwalker-tales-bigfoot-encounters/WATCH THE IOWA EPISODE IN THE “SASQUATCH: A SEARCH FOR SABE” DOCUMENTARY SERIES BY TATE HIERONYMUS // FIND OUT ALL ABOUT MY FIRST BIGFOOT ENCOUNTERS! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo8O4rvywzETo unlock more bonus content and much more, become a supporting member of Bigfoot Society by joining the Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/thebigfootsocietyBecome a Youtube Channel member here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Qq45W6iaTU8FE9kelxT7Q/joinSupport Bigfoot Society one time by buying me a coffee here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bigfootsociety To pick up a Bigfoot Society shirt, stickers and more, check out our merch by heading on over to https://www.etsy.com/shop/BigfootSocietySend me a voice message to potentially be used for the show by calling 515-809-0165 Here's a fun prompt - “Hey, my name's [your name] and you're listening to the Bigfoot Society podcast!”If you'd like to send me fan mail, Bigfoot related products to check out or written out Bigfoot encounters then you reach me at the following address: Bigfoot Society 125 E 1st St. #233 Earlham, IA 50072Join our private Facebook group "Bigfoot Sasquatch Encounters" for a chance to connect with others who have had similar experiences.

Here I chat with a young woman living with ALS, who defies all odds by finishing fifty marathons and, in turn, inspires people to “go on, be brave.” I'm absolutely thrilled to catch up with Andrea Lytle Peet again and meet Meredith Atwood in this chat. Andrea and Meredith coauthor Andrea's new memoir titled, "Hope Fights Back." Andrea was thirty-three years old—newly married and a triathlete—when she received the death sentence of an ALS diagnosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease). After grappling with the fact that she will likely become paralyzed and die within two to five years, Andrea experienced an unexpected spark that changes her outlook in the most magnificent way. She set a goal to become the first person with ALS to complete 50 marathons in 50 states. In May 2022, she accomplished this goal with the 50th race in Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. Andrea shares her journey in a recently released documentary, "Go On Be Brave: The Drea Story." Now, she's publishing a book on 9/5/23 "Hope Fights Back." In this episode we catch up on it all, especially her inspiring memoir. Hope Fights Back chronicles what happens when we choose to live instead of waiting to die. It is a "love letter to life" and a beautiful love story between Andrea and her husband, Dave. Andrea's message is awe-inspiring for everyone. Listen in and share this incredible story with a friend.

It's an action packed show this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast! John starts things off with a bold prediction for this year's deer season you are going to want to hear. After that, Oklahoma State University Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management Assistant Professor Colter Chitwood joins the show to talk about a few research projects he is involved with around the state of Oklahoma and beyond. The first topic the guys discuss is a research project following pronghorn in the Oklahoma Panhandle. Colter and his team have been collaring and tracking pronghorn to learn more about their home ranges, fawn recruitment, and most importantly, whether or not the population is declining or not. After a nice long chat about pronghorn, Colter talks about another similar research project on wild turkeys. It is no secret that numbers appear to be declining across much of the country and especially in the southeastern United States, and Colter sheds some light on a few reasons why a decline may be taking place, and some practical things hunters and conservationists can do to have a positive impact on those populations. And just because why the heck not, John and Colter finish the episode off with some good old wolf talk. Colter is fortunate enough to work on a grey wolf population study on Prince of Wales Island off the coast of Alaska. John talks a little bit about his experience with wolves in the north west while in college, and the guys talk about how sometimes the biggest obstacle in managing a species is just how cute they are.

On November 13, 2004, the charred body of teacher's aide Lauri Waterman, 48, was found on the back seat of her minivan on a remote area on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. Her body had been beaten, and police concluded the death was a murder. The perpetrators, as police soon discovered, were two young men, Brian Rodel and Jason Arrent, who were both in sexual relationships with Lauri's daughter Rachelle, 16. An honor student and a champion volleyball player in the small town of Craig, Alaska, Rachelle had a blog called "My Crappy Life" in which she wrote about how her mother was ruining her life by complaining about her clothes, her weight, her boyfriends and her recent interest in Wicca. The morning after the murder, Rachelle's teachers found her demeanor not normal for someone whose mother was missing. Brian and Jason both testified that Rachelle had often complained to them about her mother's abuses, telling them she wanted her mother dead. After a mistrial, Rachelle was found guilty of criminally negligent homicide in July 2011, and sentenced to three years in prison. She was released in 2014. This episode contains testimony from four of Rachelle's school friends about Rachelle's demeanor on the day of her mother's death: Katrina Nelson, Kelly Carlson, Amanda Vosloh, Stefanie Claus.
