After weeks of strange encounters and mounting dread, the group finds themselves surrounded by Lenape hunters deep in the wilderness. Rather than the violence they expect, they're taken to meet Gray Owl, an elder so ancient his face has become a map of wrinkles and his eyes have clouded with cataracts. Yet somehow, he sees everything. What he tells them about the Mesingw challenges everything they thought they knew. These creatures are not spirits or demons. They are simply old. Older than humanity itself. And they have been waiting.Gray Owl gives Elijah a stone pendant carved with symbols that shift in firelight, telling him it may buy time when the creatures finally decide what to do with them. The warning is clear. They have been marked. For good or ill, there is no turning back now. What follows is two weeks of psychological warfare that tests every man to his breaking point. The knocking escalates into something like war drums. Howls split the night, reaching into frequencies that touch something primal in the human mind. Equipment is moved while they sleep. Enormous footprints appear inches from where their heads rested. And then one of their horses is torn apart in a display of raw power that defies comprehension. The expedition pushes on into Shawnee territory, where Cornstalk's Son shares his own people's history with the Old Enemies. A war that lasted generations. Warriors who went into the mountains and came back broken, wearing the shapes of men but no longer truly human. An uneasy agreement that has held for longer than memory.Now that boundary has been crossed. And the creatures have followed.Part Two builds toward a reckoning that has been centuries in the making. The tests are not over. The judgment has not been rendered. And somewhere in the darkness, ancient eyes are still watching.

What would you do if everything you thought you knew about your father turned out to be wrong? What if his silence, his distance, his strange obsession with the mountains wasn't coldness at all, but something else entirely? What if he'd been guarding a secret so profound, so impossible, that it had consumed his entire life? That's the question facing Marcus Stone as he pulls up to a cabin he hasn't entered in twenty-three years. His father is dead. The funeral has already happened, and Marcus wasn't there. Twenty-three years of silence between them, hardened into something neither could break. And now it's too late.Or is it? Because Robert Stone left something behind. A trunk in the cellar. A note in his father's handwriting that speaks of burdens and secrets and an ancestor named Captain Elijah Stone.A note that hints at something that's been passed down through generations, waiting for someone brave enough to finally bring it into the light. What Marcus finds in that cellar will change everything he thinks he knows about his family, about history, and about what really walks in the deep places of the American wilderness. Seven leather-bound journals. Letters tied with twine that's gone black with age. A stone pendant carved with symbols that don't match any language Marcus has ever seen. And the words of a man who died two hundred years ago, preserved in ink that has faded from black to brown but remains perfectly legible.March fifteenth, seventeen ninety-nine.Captain Elijah Stone. Revolutionary War veteran. A man haunted by stories he heard during the brutal winter at Valley Forge. Stories told by Oneida scouts around dying fires. Stories of the elder brothers. The ones who were here before us. The ones who watch from the shadows of ancient forests.This is the beginning of an expedition into the unknown. Nine men riding west from Richmond, following legends and whispers toward something that might not exist. A hot-tempered Scottish soldier carrying grief like a loaded weapon. A Kentucky frontiersman who's been waiting twenty years for someone to go looking. A Philadelphia naturalist convinced that science can explain anything. A former minister searching for proof of God in a world that suddenly seems random and cruel.And leading them all, a captain who knows, somehow, that not all of them will return.The signs begin almost immediately. Footprints eighteen inches long, pressed deep into mud by something that weighs five hundred pounds. Wood knocking in the darkness, three sharp strikes echoing through the trees. Food stolen from bundles hung fifteen feet in the air. Structures built with purpose and intention, a language in the landscape that speaks of intelligence, of planning, of something that thinks. They know we're here, the frontiersman says. They've known since we crossed into the mountains. And then comes the story that changes everything. A blizzard twenty years ago. A young trapper who thought he was going to die. And something that carried him through the storm, examined him in a dark cave, and made a decision. They were deciding what to do with me.What walks in those mountains? What has been watching humanity since before we learned to walk upright? And what did Robert Stone spend his entire life guarding? The answers are waiting in the pages of those journals. And Marcus Stone is about to discover that some inheritances come with a price.This is The Bigfoot Journals, Part One.The expedition has begun.

In the mountains of western North Carolina, something ancient waits in the darkness. For over eight hundred years, mysterious lights have appeared above a low ridge called Brown Mountain, dancing across the sky in ways that science cannot explain and folklore cannot forget. Tonight, we journey into the heart of Appalachia's most enduring supernatural mystery.This episode begins with the Cherokee legend of a great battle fought in 1200 A.D. between the Cherokee and Catawba Nations. When the fighting ended and hundreds of warriors lay dead across the mountain, the women from both tribes came searching with torches held high, calling out for husbands and sons who would never answer. According to the legend, some of those women never stopped searching.Eight centuries later, their torches still burn on the ridgeline.We explore the first documented white witness to the phenomenon, a German cartographer named John William Gerard de Brahm who observed the lights in seventeen seventy one and tried to explain them as nitrous vapors catching fire. We follow the story of Fate Wiseman, whose family legend about a faithful servant searching for his lost master became the famous bluegrass song that made the Brown Mountain Lights a household name across America.The episode delves into darker territory with the murder of Belinda, a young healer whose abusive husband killed her and her newborn child sometime before the Civil War. According to local legend, the mysterious lights led searchers to her hidden grave, and they still appear above that ravine to this day.We examine the government investigations of nineteen thirteen and nineteen twenty two, when scientists declared the mystery solved by attributing the lights to train headlights and automobiles. We reveal how the devastating flood of nineteen sixteen destroyed that explanation entirely when the lights continued appearing even after all the trains stopped running and the roads washed away. The narrative takes us through the strange case of Ralph Lael, a furniture salesman who claimed to have followed one of the lights into a cave where he made contact with beings from Venus. We hear about Tommie Hunter, who actually touched one of the lights in nineteen eighty two and felt an electric shock surge through his body while six witnesses watched. We follow TV journalist John Carter into the woods after midnight, where he watched a glowing orb approach his group in a zig-zag pattern before making a dramatic turn and vanishing into nothing. Modern investigations receive thorough coverage, including the work of Dr. Daniel Caton at Appalachian State University, whose team accumulated over six thousand hours of camera footage and still couldn't explain everything they recorded. We explore the theories of paranormal researcher Joshua Warren, who believes the unique geology of Brown Mountain creates conditions for ball lightning and who successfully recreated similar phenomena in his laboratory. Throughout the episode, we encounter the many legends that have accumulated over the centuries. The lover's light, where a young woman still holds her torch waiting for a groom who never arrived on their wedding night. The Civil War ghosts, soldiers in blue and gray still searching for fallen comrades. The Revolutionary War patriots, still carrying the flame of liberty through the eternal darkness.This is a story about mystery and meaning. About the places where our certainty breaks down and the universe reminds us that it still contains secrets. About love so powerful it became visible, and grief so profound it became eternal. Whether you believe the lights are spirits of the dead, ball lightning generated by geological forces, or something we haven't discovered yet, one thing is certain. The Brown Mountain Lights are real. They've been appearing for eight hundred years. And somewhere in the darkness of Linville Gorge, the search continues.

People say there's no way Sasquatch could exist in the Land Between the Lakes. They say it's too populated. Too well-traveled. Too thoroughly explored by hunters and hikers and campers over the decades.I disagree.  And after you hear this encounter story, I'm confident you'll agree with me. In November of nineteen eighty-four, a father took his fourteen-year-old son into the backcountry of the Land Between the Lakes for a deer hunting trip. It was supposed to be a bonding experience. A chance for the boy to take his first buck. A weekend of camping and hunting in a remote stretch of wilderness that most visitors never see. What they encountered out there changed both of them forever. It started with strange sounds. Heavy footsteps in the darkness. Rocks thrown from unseen hands. Then came the screaming. Inhuman vocalizations that echoed through the forest from multiple directions at once. Wood knocks that circled their camp throughout the night. The unmistakable signs of something intelligent, something powerful, something that wanted them to know they weren't alone.On the final morning, the boy made a clean shot on a beautiful ten-point buck. But before he could reach his kill, something emerged from the undergrowth. Something massive. Something that walked on two legs and stood over eight feet tall. Something that looked at him with eyes that held unmistakable intelligence.And then it took his deer.The father passed away in March of twenty twenty-four. Now his son is the only living witness to what happened during that terrifying weekend forty years ago. He made a promise to his father in that hospital room. A promise to finally tell the full story.This is that story. One hundred and seventy thousand acres of uninterrupted forest. Two hunters who ventured too deep into the backcountry. And the creatures that let them leave alive.Some places in this world belong to something other than us. The Land Between the Lakes might be one of them.

Deep in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, there’s a quiet little valley where three creeks meet and cross like a natural X. Long before settlers built homes there, the Cherokee knew the place well—and they didn’t trust it after dark. They warned their people to stay away, calling it a place where something shadowy moved through the night.Later, missionaries arrived, saw the crossing waters as a holy sign, and named the area Valle Crucis: the Valley of the Cross. They built St. John’s Episcopal Church beside that old meeting of waters, never realizing what the land had already been known for.In this special episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories, we step outside Sasquatch territory for something darker, older, and harder to shake. What you’re about to hear isn’t a Bigfoot encounter.It’s a story that’s been whispered around western North Carolina for generations—one that comes with a body count and a warning baked into the ground itself. The legend of the Demon Dog of Valle Crucis goes back at least to the mid-1800s, when a Methodist circuit rider claimed he saw a massive black hound standing among the cemetery stones. He wrote about its size, its unnatural stillness, and those eyes—glowing red like coals. Since then, the sightings have never really stopped. They just surface every so often, always describing the same impossible thing: a dog too big to be real, fur black enough to swallow moonlight, and a stare that feels human in the worst way. But it’s not the sightings that made this creature infamous. It’s what followed them. Hunting dogs found torn apart with wounds that didn’t match any known predator. Livestock killed in ways locals couldn’t explain. And nearly every time, the trail led back to the old cemetery—back to the crossing waters—back to the place people were told not to go.At the center of this episode is a listener account from Dale, now in his late fifties, who has carried what happened to him for more than forty years.In the fall of 1975, Dale and his best friend Curtis were fourteen—two mountain kids determined to prove they were grown enough to coon hunt on their own. They headed into the woods with three dogs, including Dale’s prized Bluetick, Jessie. They didn’t realize they were drifting toward Valle Crucis. They didn’t know what the old stories were really warning about.What happened that night near the cemetery changed Dale for good. He describes something huge stepping out of the darkness. Sounds no normal dog could make. A chase that didn’t feel like a chase—more like something playing with them. And a split-second sacrifice he still hasn’t forgiven himself for. Dale doesn’t try to sell you a theory. He doesn’t dress it up. He just tells you what he saw, what he heard, and what he lost. And the grief in his voice makes it clear: this isn’t a campfire tale.This is a scar. We’re honored that Dale trusted us with it. Some stories don’t fade with time—they just get heavier. And this one comes with a warning that’s echoed through generations: there are places in these mountains you don’t push your luck in. Not because you’re superstitious. Because sometimes the old folks were right.So settle in, keep your senses sharp, and walk with us into the Valley of the Cross—where the creek waters meet, the graveyard waits, and something out there still doesn’t want company after dark.

In this episode, we head deep into the Appalachian spine to uncover one of America’s most enduring mountain mysteries: the Wood Booger. Known across Southwest Virginia and neighboring highland communities, this legend reaches back long before European settlers ever set foot on these ridges.Indigenous nations carried generations of warnings about wild men in the forest—the Monacan and Mannahoac spoke of untamed beings in the woods, and Cherokee stories told of Tsul ‘Kalu, the slant-eyed giant who watched from the highest places. These accounts weren’t bedtime tales. They were cautionary history.We open with a startling story tied to the final chapter of Daniel Boone’s life. In his last year, Boone reportedly confided a secret he’d kept for decades: an encounter with a ten-foot-tall, hair-covered creature he called a “Yahoo.” We dig into the historical trail behind this claim, drawing from John Mack Faragher’s landmark Boone biography and Theodore Roosevelt’s writings on Boone’s Kentucky expeditions to weigh what’s legend, what’s record, and what still refuses to fit neatly into either. From there, we travel to Norton, Virginia—modern ground zero for Wood Booger research. This tiny mountain city, the smallest independent city in the state, has built a surprising identity around the creature. We explore the region’s coal-mining roots and the eerie stories miners carried out of the tunnels beneath these ancient mountains. We also visit nearby Saltville, where humans have mined salt for thousands of years—and where reports of something unexplainable have echoed just as long. The investigation then turns to one of the most talked-about pieces of evidence in recent memory: the 2009 Beast of Gum Hill video. When Chuck Newton captured footage of a massive biped stepping out of the Washington County treeline, the clip drew national attention—and eventually brought the Finding Bigfoot television crew to Southwest Virginia. We revisit the town hall they hosted at the Palmer Grist Mill in Saltville, where the turnout stunned everyone: hunters, hikers, families, and a teenager who described being struck by a rock moments after locking eyes with a dark figure on a hillside. We break down decades of witness descriptions to build a composite profile of the Wood Booger—its reported height and muscular build, the powerful odor so often mentioned in sightings, and the vocalizations that roll through hollows at night.You’ll hear accounts from hunters encountering something impossibly close in tree stands, truck drivers watching a hulking form cross Route 23 at three in the morning, and a woman outside Bristol who met the creature in her headlights on a quiet back road near Mendota. The scientific discussion brings us to the work of the late Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum, who examined hundreds of footprint casts and argued that certain evidence was extraordinarily difficult to dismiss. We look at reported dermal ridges, the mid-tarsal break that doesn’t match human foot anatomy, and hair samples that have resisted definitive identification while showing traits consistent with primates.We also ask the bigger question: why Appalachia? With landscapes over 400 million years old, heavily forested terrain (West Virginia alone is nearly 80% woodland), and massive networks of caves and underground passages, this region offers remoteness in plain sight.Add abundant food sources, low population density, and a deep culture of silence, and you get a place where encounters could remain unreported for generations.Some of the most powerful moments come from childhood witnesses—people who saw something before they had words for fear or disbelief. One woman recounts being eight years old when she locked eyes with a creature across a creek behind her grandparents’ home. Instead of dismissing her, her grandmother sat her down and told her about the hairy man who had lived in these mountains longer than anyone could remember.We close in Norton, where the city has openly embraced its Wood Booger heritage: a council resolution declaring Norton a Wood Booger sanctuary, a seven-foot statue at Flag Rock Recreation Area, the Wood Booger Grill on Park Avenue, and an annual festival that brings visitors from across the country. What was once a struggling coal town has reinvented itself around a legend many locals never doubted was real.This episode is dedicated to the witnesses who carried their encounters in silence—afraid of ridicule, isolation, or being labeled crazy. The hunters who came home shaken and quiet. The hikers who saw something on the trail they could never unsee. The kids who weren’t believed when they tried to tell the truth. You’re not alone. You’re not imagining things. And your story matters.

In this episode, we travel to the remote Uintah Basin of northeastern Utah to investigate one of the most intensively studied paranormal locations on Earth: Skinwalker Ranch. This 512-acre property has been the site of documented UFO encounters, cattle mutilations, shapeshifting creatures, and phenomena so bizarre that even the United States government spent $22 million trying to understand it.Our story begins with the ancient warnings of the Ute tribe, who have forbidden their people from setting foot on this land for generations. We explore the legend of the Navajo skinwalkers—malevolent witches said to be capable of transforming into animals—and the territorial conflict that allegedly led to a curse being placed on this remote stretch of Utah high desert.At the heart of the narrative is the Sherman family, who purchased the ranch in 1994 expecting to build a quiet life raising cattle. What they found instead was eighteen months of relentless terror. We detail their first encounter with an enormous wolf that couldn’t be killed despite being shot multiple times at point-blank range. We examine the systematic mutilation of their cattle, animals discovered with surgical-precision wounds and not a single drop of blood. We recount the night their three dogs were incinerated by a glowing blue orb, reduced to greasy black lumps in seconds.The investigation deepens when billionaire Robert Bigelow buys the property in 1996 and deploys PhD-level scientists through the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS). A disturbing pattern emerges: the phenomena seem to anticipate the researchers’ movements and deliberately evade documentation. We describe the March 1997 encounter in which investigators witnessed a massive creature with glowing yellow eyes perched in a tree, and a dog-headed beast on the ground below—both vanishing after being fired upon. We revisit the August 1997 portal sighting, where a ring of orange light opened in midair and a dark humanoid figure stepped through before the doorway snapped shut.Perhaps most disturbing is our exploration of the Hitchhiker Effect, a phenomenon in which the horrors of Skinwalker Ranch appear to follow visitors home.Researchers, their family members, and even their neighbors reported identical paranormal events hundreds of miles from the property. We examine the physical toll linked to these experiences, including chronic blood diseases, neurological symptoms, and radiation exposure that left some investigators permanently harmed.From there, we move into the halls of government. Defense Intelligence Agency scientist James Lacatski’s visit to the ranch helped spark a $22 million Pentagon program known as AAWSAP.We reveal how U.S. Senator Harry Reid secured funding to study the unexplained, and how the 2017 New York Times exposé pushed UFOs into mainstream discourse.We conclude with the modern era under owner Brandon Fugal, whose History Channel series has documented six seasons of anomalies including UAP sightings, radiation spikes, GPS interference, and the discovery of a massive metallic anomaly buried deep beneath the ranch. We examine what investigators have found in the area known as the Triangle, where rockets are deflected by invisible forces and LIDAR imaging suggests structures that don’t appear in visible light.Throughout this episode, we stay committed to factual accuracy while delivering the high-strangeness our listeners expect. Every incident described has been reported by credible witnesses, and many were investigated by government-linked teams.We present skeptical perspectives alongside extraordinary claims, letting you decide what may be happening in that remote corner of Utah.This episode runs approximately one hour and draws from the original Deseret News reporting (1996), Hunt for the Skinwalker by Colm Kelleher and George Knapp, Skinwalkers at the Pentagon by Kelleher, Knapp, and James Lacatski, interviews with Brandon Fugal and Dr. Travis Taylor, and documentation from the NIDS and AAWSAP investigations.Content Warning: This episode includes descriptions of animal deaths and mutilations, psychological distress, and unexplained medical phenomena.

Have you ever wondered about the true story behind the first Thanksgiving?Happy Thanksgiving from the Backwoods Bigfoot Stories Family.  For this special holiday episode, the show steps away from its usual encounter reports and witness interviews to share something different: an original work of fiction that reimagines one of America’s most iconic moments.What if the first Thanksgiving wasn’t just a meeting between two peoples, but three? What if the Wampanoag arrived at the 1621 harvest celebration with a guest the colonists agreed to protect and keep hidden—an agreement passed quietly through generations for more than four hundred years? This episode tells the story of Yahyel, a Sasquatch elder who reveals himself to William Bradford and the Plymouth colonists, offering ancient wisdom, urgent warnings, and a promise that stretches across centuries.The narrative follows the descendants of that first feast as they safeguard the secret through revolution, expansion, war, and cultural change—carrying it from the earliest days of the colonies into the modern age of DNA databases, thermal drones, and digital discovery.Along the way, the story blends real historical touchstones with cryptid folklore, exploring themes of cooperation, respect for the land, and the responsibility to protect wild places that cannot protect themselves.To be clear: this is fiction. A holiday campfire story created to spark imagination, not to rewrite history. The episode makes no claim that these events occurred, and it is not presented as a factual account. But it invites a simple question: what if something like this could have been true?What if ancient promises still mattered, mysteries still lived in the deep forests, and beings older than human memory were quietly watching—waiting for the moment humanity was ready to meet them with respect instead of fear? Whether you’re a true believer or a friendly skeptic, this Thanksgiving episode is meant to bring a little wonder to your holiday. May your plates be full, your company be warm, and your sense of mystery never fade.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our Sponsors

Tonight’s episode takes us deep into the backwoods of northern Alabama, into a summer that officially never happened. In 1983, something came out of the forests around Piney Creek that permanently scarred a rural community and left behind a story still spoken only in whispers. It began with routine livestock killings that didn’t stay routine for long. A prize bull was found torn apart in ways that made no sense, surrounded by tracks that seemed to shift between animal and human. Within weeks, farms across miles of countryside were hit, and the sightings followed. Locals described a towering figure that moved upright like a man, covered in thick fur, with a wolfish head and eyes that looked disturbingly human. Fear spread fast, especially after the creature was seen at a nursery window, staring in at an eighteen-month-old child.That moment sparked a hunt that would become one of the most controversial in Alabama history.Dozens of armed men flooded the woods at dawn, determined to stop whatever was stalking their families and livestock. What they discovered in an abandoned storm cellar wasn’t the simple monster they expected. The creature they cornered was wounded, terrified, and shockingly aware. It spoke. It pleaded. And beneath the blood and matted fur, a silver cross hung around its neck. When the truth finally surfaced, it wasn’t a beast at all, but a missing college student who had been investigating local legends and never made it home. The government arrived within hours. Evidence vanished, threats were made, and everyone involved was forced into silence. The official explanation blamed wild dogs and mass hysteria, but years later a different account emerged from someone who claimed to have seen the real file. According to that testimony, the military had been running biological enhancement experiments in underground facilities throughout rural Alabama since the early 1970s. Deep in limestone caves, they discovered a parasitic organism capable of rewriting human DNA and triggering violent, rapid transformations. A containment breach released infected subjects into the woods, and the organism kept spreading.The most horrifying detail is that victims were said to remain conscious during the change, trapped inside bodies they couldn’t control, forced to witness the violence their transformed selves carried out. The missing student was one of those victims, infected during his research and turned into something caught between man and beast.And the story doesn’t end there. Similar incidents reportedly surfaced later in nearby counties, and patterns like this have been whispered about across the country under different names. Even now, the abandoned farm where it ended remains sealed, the storm cellar periodically covered in fresh concrete by unknown hands. Locals still report strange howls, impossible tracks, and the kind of disappearances nobody wants to talk about too loudly. This episode pieces together a chain of witnesses who risked everything to break decades of silence, revealing a picture far darker than folklore. The suggestion is simple and terrifying: this wasn’t supernatural at all, but human experimentation gone catastrophically wrong, a Cold War nightmare walking loose in the woods.As you listen, remember that officially none of this happened. No documents exist, no agency acknowledges it, and the story is buried under denial. But in backwoods communities across the South, doors still get locked at sundown, livestock still vanish to something that tears through fencing like paper, and on quiet nights near Piney Creek, people still swear they hear the howls. Not quite wolf, not quite human, but something terrible living in the space between.

Welcome to this special collection episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories, a journey across sixty years of encounters from the deep woods of the Southeastern United States. In this episode, I share six of the most compelling accounts I’ve documented over the past five years—stories that take us from the riverbanks of Alabama to the swamps of South Carolina and reveal just how many secrets the South still keeps hidden.Our journey begins in Alabama in 1967, where a power company lineman discovered enormous handprints embedded in a utility pole along the Cahaba River. His face-to-face encounter with a towering creature challenged everything he believed about the world and set the tone for the stories that followed: intelligent beings that choose their moments carefully and always remain in control. From there, we move into the mountains of North Georgia in 1973, where four seasoned hunters found themselves under siege near Blue Ridge. A night of rock throwing, violent tree shaking, and dozens of stick figures arranged in a perfect warning circle around their camp left them shattered and unwilling to ever return to the woods.In Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains in 1985, a park ranger and wildlife biologist had her scientific worldview upended when a massive creature climbed her fire tower and examined her equipment with deliberate intelligence. Her experience led her to discover that the Park Service had quietly documented similar incidents for decades.The most tragic encounter comes from the Ozark Mountains in 1991, where a family camping trip spiraled into terror. A young girl watched as towering beings demonstrated their strength by crushing rocks with their bare hands. The emotional and psychological fallout broke her family apart, leaving scars that never healed. In 2002, the forests of North Carolina’s Pisgah National Forest became the setting for an encounter unlike any before it. An experienced hiker spent three days in what he described as captivity with a family group of these beings, observing their social dynamics, tool use, and an unmistakable curiosity about human objects—suggesting a species far more complex than previously imagined.Our final story takes us to South Carolina in 2014, where two college biology students captured over forty minutes of high-definition footage showing a creature examining their research equipment with clear understanding of its purpose. The immediate government intervention and enforced silence that followed hinted at a much larger effort to conceal the truth. Across all six encounters, the patterns are unmistakable: the heavy musky odor that announces their presence, the massive handprints, the intelligent eyes studying and evaluating, and the sense that these beings could harm us—but choose not to. Together, these stories paint the American South as a hidden refuge for an undiscovered species, or perhaps a separate branch of human evolution that has mastered the art of staying unseen. This episode serves as both a warning and an invitation. The woods are not empty. Something ancient and intelligent is out there, watching from the edges of our world. As you listen, consider how these beings’ behavior has evolved over the decades, how closely they seem to be studying us, and what it means that evidence is so quickly suppressed. These are not campfire tales—they are the testimonies of people whose lives were forever changed by what they saw. And sometimes, in the quiet space between dusk and dawn, the South’s best-kept secrets step out of the darkness and make themselves known.

In this powerful and haunting episode, we share the life-changing testimony of Mary, a ninety-two-year-old Yup'ik woman who survived one of the most frightening Sasquatch encounters ever recorded. This isn’t a tale of footprints or shadows in the trees—this is the story of what happened when an Alaskan village along the Copper River faced something ancient, intelligent, and deadly during the summer of 1962. Mary was only eight when her peaceful village became a hunting ground.What began with one trapper disappearing quickly turned into a terrifying ordeal that claimed several lives, including two of Mary’s closest childhood friends. Through her memories, we experience the fear that grew as massive footprints appeared around homes, red eyes watched from the twilight, and the villagers realized this was no bear.Her account connects deeply to Yup'ik traditions and the old stories of the kushta’ka—the hairymen who walked the land long before outsiders arrived.Mary’s grandmother recognized the danger immediately, explaining that sometimes one of these beings “goes bad,” much like a rabid wolf, and develops a deadly hunger for humans. As children vanished and attacks intensified, twelve villages came together in a desperate attempt to fight back. Forty-three hunters formed a war party armed with everything from WWII rifles to a centuries-old Russian bear spear blessed by a shaman. Their battle in the deep forest was brutal, courageous, and left lasting scars on everyone involved.But Mary’s story goes far beyond violence. Sixty years later, she revealed a secret second encounter—this time with a female Sasquatch who returned something precious to Mary. Whether it was grief, remorse, or understanding, the moment changed how Mary saw these beings forever. Throughout her life, Mary witnessed other encounters that suggested a fragile, uneasy coexistence.The female that fought so fiercely was defending her mate, just as the villagers were defending their families. As Mary reached ninety-three, she shared her final thoughts about the visits she believed she still received from the surviving creature—now old, quiet, and watchful. She spoke of dreams where she saw the story through the creature’s eyes and understood that what happened wasn’t evil—it was two worlds colliding in a place both called home.Her final message is a warning: as the wilderness shrinks, the fragile peace between humans and these ancient beings may not hold. She shares this story not to encourage people to seek Sasquatch, but to remind us of the respect and boundaries forged at such a terrible cost.

In the summer of 1987, sixteen-year-old Theresa Ann Bier vanished in the remote Sierra Nevada mountains—one of the strangest and most unsettling disappearances in California history. She had gone camping near Shuteye Peak with forty-three-year-old Russell “Skip” Welch, a man who claimed to be a Bigfoot "exper"t and promised to show her proof of the creatures he insisted were real.When Welch returned alone, the explanation he offered investigators became infamous: he said Bigfoot had taken her. This episode examines the real facts behind Theresa’s disappearance, cutting through decades of rumor, folklore, and speculation. We explore who Theresa was, the troubled circumstances that made her vulnerable, and Welch’s disturbing behavior leading up to the trip. His story shifted repeatedly—wild tales that obscured the truth and frustrated investigators—but nothing he said ever led to a single piece of evidence.Search teams combed hundreds of square miles with helicopters, dogs, and volunteers. Two separate campsite locations, drug paraphernalia, and threatening phone calls to Theresa’s family painted a picture far darker than anything involving legendary creatures. Yet without a body or physical evidence, prosecutors dropped the case just days before trial, fearing they would lose their only chance to seek justice.Decades later, Theresa remains missing. Welch died in 1998, never revealing more, never abandoning his story. The mountains around Shuteye Peak have kept their secrets, and the truth about what happened to Theresa remains hidden somewhere in that vast wilderness.This episode confronts the real events behind a case where myth became a shield, where a vulnerable teenager slipped through every system meant to protect her, and where the most terrifying part of the story has nothing to do with Bigfoot.It’s a journey into the Sierra Nevada, into the shadowed intersection of human deception and wilderness mystery, and into a tragedy that still echoes nearly forty years later.

Tonight’s episode shares one of the most detailed and disturbing alien abduction accounts ever recorded — the story of Marcus, a man forever changed by a childhood encounter in rural Minnesota in 1994. What began as a single night of terror evolved into decades of systematic visitation and transformation, revealing an agenda that challenges everything we know about the UFO phenomenon.Marcus’s experiences defy explanation. From paralysis and levitation into a silent craft hovering above the pines to his eventual role as an “interface” between human and post-human consciousness, his testimony offers unprecedented insight into the purpose behind abductions.A trained electrical engineer, Marcus spent years trying to rationalize his encounters, documenting physical evidence including an unexplained implant and altered biological markers.He describes a vast hybrid program, introducing beings engineered to bridge humanity and something beyond — entities that may already walk among us, preparing for what they call The Convergence. His accounts of knowledge downloads, advanced mathematics, and shared memories suggest a disturbing truth: these visitors may not be extraterrestrials at all, but evolved humans ensuring their own survival through time. Whether you believe his story or not, Marcus’s account forces us to confront profound questions about consciousness, evolution, and the future of our species.Listener discretion is advised. This is not just an abduction story — it’s a revelation that blurs the line between horror, prophecy, and human destiny.

Tonight’s episode takes us deep into the heart of Appalachia, where ancient mountains remember everything—and some doors, once opened, can never be closed again. This is the chilling account of Michael, a man forever marked by his family’s terrifying encounter with beings that shouldn’t exist, but do. In the summer of 1995, fourteen-year-old Michael and his family left suburban Cleveland for a decaying farmhouse in rural West Virginia, hoping for a fresh start. What they found at Black Hollow Farm defied reason. The forest seemed alive with intent, and pale figures with glowing eyes watched from the shadows. What began as strange sounds and footprints soon spiraled into a nightmare of ancestral debt and otherworldly bargaining. Michael’s first encounter with the Little People—the beings known to the Cherokee as the Yunwi Tsunsdi and to early settlers as the Moon-Eyed People—set in motion a chain of events that would unravel his family. These ancient, subterranean entities fed not on flesh but on human potential, their hunger stretching back thousands of years. As Michael uncovered his family’s dark history—tied to a century-old massacre—he realized the debt could only be paid through sacrifice. His search for answers led to an isolated library, an old librarian guarding forbidden knowledge, and a final descent into the caverns beneath the mountains. There, Michael made a desperate bargain: seven years of his life, scattered across his remaining decades, in exchange for his family’s safety. The cost bought their freedom—but bound him forever to the watchers in the dark. Today, Black Hollow Farm still stands, waiting for its next tenants, its next chapter.Michael’s story is more than a haunting; it’s a warning about the thin places in our world where realities blur, and ancient intelligences wait for us to forget the old protections.Because once you know the Little People are real—once you’ve seen their glowing eyes peering from the forest—you’ll never walk through the Appalachians the same way again.

In the spring of 1972, a man chasing gold and glory ventured deep into the Yukon wilderness, dreaming of striking it rich. But what began as a hopeful mining expedition soon unraveled into a two-month nightmare that would haunt him for the rest of his life. Fresh from Vietnam and toughened by work on the Alaska Pipeline, he believed no wilderness could break him. When he purchased the mineral rights to an abandoned 1950s claim—once owned by a prospector named Dutch Hanson who mysteriously vanished after a promising start—he ignored every red flag. Gold fever clouded his judgment, and soon he would realize the true cost of his ambition. After flying into a remote valley with a bush pilot, he built a cabin and began working his sluice box along a promising creek bend. The gold was there—steady and consistent, just as Hanson’s notes promised. But something was wrong. The forest was unnaturally quiet. No birds. No bears. No life at all.Then came the night screams. Unnatural wails echoed through the valley, rising and falling with a haunting, almost human cadence. The sounds were answered from multiple directions, as though the darkness itself were alive. He tried to rationalize it—wolves, perhaps—but deep down he knew better. Soon, massive spruce trees began snapping eight feet above the ground, sheared off with tremendous force. Then came the knocks—sharp, rhythmic wood-on-wood impacts echoing through the valley, back and forth, as if some unknown intelligence were communicating.One afternoon, while working the creek, he heard a rapid series of popping sounds surrounding him—mouth clicks, moving in a circle, coordinated and deliberate. Something was out there. Watching. Stalking. Thinking. The proof came in the form of tracks—eighteen inches long, five toes, a five-foot stride. Too human to be a bear, too large to belong to any known species. And then, the unthinkable: he turned at the water’s edge to find an eight-foot creature watching him from the treeline. Covered in dark, shaggy hair with a conical head and intelligent eyes, it showed no fear—only dominance. When it struck a nearby tree with a thunderous slap, others answered from the forest. He was surrounded. That night, the creatures attacked. Rocks rained down on his cabin for hours, splintering wood and shaking the structure. Multiple voices filled the night—the deep, resonant roar of the alpha male, the shrill screams of the female, and the higher-pitched cries of a juvenile.They circled his camp, making it clear he was not welcome. By dawn, his camp was destroyed. Tools twisted, the sluice box shattered, and every ounce of gold gone. The message was unmistakable: leave.He fled the valley, trailed by the creatures’ heavy knocks and distant cries. At the final creek crossing, the massive male appeared once more—silent, watchful, ensuring he never returned.He never did.Because some places aren’t meant for humans, some fortunes aren’t worth the price, and some legends should remain undisturbed in the wild.This is the story of one man’s hunt for Yukon gold… and the terrifying encounter that made him believe in something that shouldn’t exist.

Everyone who knows about the Van Meter Visitor knows about the five nights of terror in October 1903 when a winged creature with a light-emitting horn terrorized the small Iowa town. Credible witnesses. Contemporary documentation. Physical evidence. The whole town saw it, shot at it, and eventually sealed it in an abandoned coal mine. The story became legend.But what almost nobody knows is that the Van Meter Visitor came back.Eighty years later, in October 1983, a fifteen year old boy and his father went coon hunting in the woods near Van Meter and had an encounter that would haunt them for the rest of their lives. An encounter they never reported. An encounter they swore to keep secret. An encounter that proved the creature was never really trapped at all. This is the story of that night, told in the words of the man who lived through it. Now fifty-five years old and finally breaking his silence after his father's death, he recounts in terrifying detail what happened when they encountered something in those dark Iowa woods that shouldn't exist. Something that matched every description from 1903. Something that took their dog Buck and nearly killed their other dog Belle.Something that couldn't be stopped with bullets or courage or anything else they had. This isn't a vague sighting or a distant glimpse. This is a close encounter with one of America's most documented cryptids, told by someone who was there, who saw it clearly, who watched it fly away with his dog clutched in its talons. It's a story about the things that hunt in the darkness. About the creatures that exist outside our understanding of the natural world.About the price of seeing something impossible and having to carry that knowledge for forty years.The Van Meter Visitor is real. It never left. And this is the encounter that proves it.

In September 1903, the quiet farming town of Van Meter, Iowa became the stage for one of the most credible and terrifying cryptid encounters in American history. For five consecutive nights, townspeople reported a winged creatureunlike anything they’d ever seen — an enormous being with leathery bat-like wings and a glowing horn on its headthat emitted a blinding beam of light powerful enough to pierce the darkness.This wasn’t the tale of drunkards or overactive imaginations. The witnesses included the town doctor, the bank cashier who later became mayor, and multiple respected businessmen — credible, level-headed citizens with everything to lose and nothing to gain by reporting what they saw.The creature stood eight to nine feet tall, with smooth skin, a blunt horn, and glowing eyes, described consistently by multiple witnesses. Even more disturbing, it appeared immune to bullets. Dr. Alcott fired five shots at close range without effect. Clarence Dunn opened fire through a bank window. O.V. White shot at the creature while it perched atop a telephone pole. Nothing slowed it down. The confrontation reached its climax when an armed mob tracked the being to an abandoned coal mine at the edge of town. There, they discovered not one creature—but two.A larger and a smaller entity emerged from the shaft, seemingly impervious to the barrage of gunfire that followed. The townsfolk, terrified beyond reason, sealed the mine entrance with brick and mortar, entombing the unknown visitors deep underground.This episode examines every documented event from those five nights and explores the enduring mystery of the Van Meter Visitor — a creature that continues to defy explanation more than a century later. From pterosaurs and demonsto extraterrestrial beings and underground species, we dig into every theory — and why none can explain all the evidence.

In the summer of 1978, Minerva, Ohio became ground zero for one of the most credible Bigfoot encounters ever investigated — the now-legendary Minerva Monster case. The Cayton family’s reports of a large, hair-covered creature on their property drew law enforcement, journalists, and national attention that forever changed their quiet lives.But what most people don’t know is that the Caytons weren’t the only ones seeing something extraordinary that summer. Just two miles away, another family on Byard Road was living through their own nightmare — a series of encounters they never reported, never shared, and never wanted to relive.This is their story — told through the eyes of a twelve-year-old girl who watched the impossible unfold in the cornfield behind her home.While the world focused on the Caytons, this family locked their doors at sunset, fortified their windows, and prayed the shapes moving through the stalks wouldn’t come any closer. She spent her nights at her bedroom window, notebook in hand, documenting what she saw — towering, upright figures that moved with intelligence, communicated in low tones, and showed both power and something that felt unsettlingly human. Night after night, she recorded their behavior, trying to understand what her family was living through while the rest of the town looked the other way.As the visits continued, fear became routine. Her brother’s nightmares worsened, her parents grew more withdrawn, and the cornfield became a place no one dared to enter.When three of the creatures finally appeared together in the yard, everything changed — and silence was no longer enough to protect them.This is the story that was never told — the encounters that stayed off the record while the media swarmed the Cayton home. It’s a haunting, deeply human look at what happens when legends step out of the woods and into ordinary lives, and when a family’s quiet resilience is tested by something the world still struggles to explain.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our Sponsors

In the summer of 2005, six fourteen-year-old Boy Scouts from South Carolina set out to prove they were ready for anything. It was supposed to be their final challenge before aging out of the troop—a week-long wilderness survival test in the Francis Marion National Forest, just northeast of Charleston.Their scoutmaster dropped them at a remote trailhead with only the essentials: a map, a compass, and an emergency radio. No adults. No safety nets. Just a simple plan—hike eight miles into the backcountry, set up a primitive camp, and spend a week living off the skills they'd spent years developing. For the first day or so, everything went according to plan. The boys found a quiet clearing by a creek—secluded, serene, and perfect. They pitched their tents, made camp, and laughed about how easy this was going to be.Then came the second night. The woods fell silent—eerily silent. Then came the howls. Deep, resonant, impossible to place. What began as strange noises quickly escalated into something far more sinister. Over the next two nights, the scouts endured a terrifying series of events that shook their confidence and stripped away any sense of safety. Footsteps circled their tents after midnight—heavy, deliberate. Their food bag, strung high in a tree for bear safety, was ripped down like it was nothing. One tent was pushed in by something large enough to leave massive handprints in the fabric. Rocks the size of baseballs were hurled at them from the darkness with enough force to strip bark from nearby trees. A thick, musky odor hung in the air. And through it all, they saw them—huge, hair-covered figures moving just beyond the tree line.The breaking point came on the third night. Seven pairs of glowing eyes appeared around the campfire—eyes at least eight feet off the ground, unmoving, unblinking, and far too intelligent to be mistaken for animals. The message was clear: you don’t belong here.At first light, the boys made the call to leave—three days early. But getting out wasn’t simple. Whatever was out there followed them the entire hike back. One scout saw a massive figure standing in broad daylight in the middle of a creek—impossible to mistake or explain away. Later, their path was blocked entirely by the largest creature yet, forcing them to cut through dense brush to escape.This is a firsthand account from one of those scouts—now in his thirties—finally breaking the silence on an experience that’s haunted all six of them for nearly two decades. Officially, it was just another uneventful primitive campout. But unofficially? It was three days of something stalking them. Watching them. Controlling whether they left… or didn’t.They made a pact to keep it quiet, afraid of being laughed at or called liars. But now, for the first time, one of them is telling the truth about what really happened in those woods.This is the real story of what drove six confident Boy Scouts out of the forest—early, terrified, and forever changed.

Tonight on Backwoods Bigfoot Stories, we head deep into the haunted woods of rural Alabama — a place where family, legacy, and terror collide.In the summer of 1995, a struggling family inherited more than just forty acres of untouched woodland.After losing his job at the paper mill, a man packed up his wife, Sarah, and their twelve-year-old son, Tyler, and moved them into his late grandfather’s abandoned cabin, hoping for a fresh start far from mounting debts and dwindling opportunities. But as they soon discovered, some inheritances come with a terrible price — and some places should have been left empty forever.What began as small disturbances — mysterious rocks hitting the roof in the dead of night — quickly escalated into something beyond comprehension.The family found themselves under siege by massive, intelligent beings that had claimed those ancient woods long before humans ever set foot there.For nearly three decades, the man who lived through it kept his story buried. But now, after twenty-seven years of silence, he’s ready to tell what really happened during those horrifying weeks — when enormous hands slapped against the cabin walls, when red eyes watched from the darkness outside his son’s window, and when voices that no human throat could form whispered threats through the trees.This isn’t just another Bigfoot encounter. It’s a story of survival, of territory violated, and of ancient rules broken. Drawing from newspaper reports dating back to the 1950s and scattered local testimonies, we uncover why certain areas in the deep Alabama backwoods remain untouched by development — and why locals still speak in whispers about the old Tillman place. In this chilling episode, you’ll hear his testimony — a warning passed down through time to anyone who might inherit an old property in the woods. Because in those forgotten corners of Alabama’s wilderness, the Old Ones still walk. They still watch. And they still play their terrible games with anyone foolish enough to enter their domain. Some gifts are curses in disguise. Some monsters are patient enough to let you go — knowing they can always come back for you later.So settle in and listen close. This is “The Inheritance.”After hearing it, you’ll never look at the woods the same way again.

This episode dives into one of the world’s most enduring mysteries — the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. It begins in a small school library in Summerville, Georgia, where a seven-year-old boy discovers a grainy black-and-white photo of a long-necked creature rising from dark Scottish waters.That image ignites a lifelong fascination with the unknown.We explore the geological wonder of Loch Ness — a glacier-carved chasm holding more freshwater than all the lakes in England and Wales combined. Its depths plunge over seven hundred feet into near-total darkness, creating the perfect cradle for mystery. From ancient Pictish carvings and Highland folklore to the 7th-century account of Saint Columba’s “water beast,” the story traces centuries of myth and fear. When a new road opened along the loch in 1933, modern sightings erupted — transforming a quiet Scottish valley into a global phenomenon. The account of George Spicer and his wife encountering something vast on the road ignited headlines and speculation of surviving dinosaurs.At the center stands the infamous Surgeon’s Photograph — the elegant, serpentine silhouette that defined a legend for decades. We revisit its publication, its global fame, and the shocking revelation of the hoax behind it — a tale of revenge, ingenuity, and humanity’s craving for wonder.Across nine decades, scientists have scoured Loch Ness with sonar, cameras, and environmental DNA. From Tim Dinsdale’s footage to Operation Deepscan and the most recent DNA surveys, the evidence remains elusive — yet the witnesses persist. Lawyers, sailors, police officers, and scientists describe what they saw: something real, something unknown. We break down every major hypothesis — from plesiosaurs and eels to waves, logs, and psychological perception — exploring why no explanation fully satisfies. Beyond biology and science, Nessie’s legend endures as a cultural mirror, revealing our need for mystery and meaning.Ultimately, this episode isn’t just about what may lurk beneath those dark waters — it’s about why we look. It’s about wonder, belief, and the human hunger for the unexplained. The Loch Ness Monster may or may not exist, but its legend reminds us that the world is still vast, still strange, and still capable of mystery.

In this episode, we head down to the humid backroads of Bishopville, South Carolina — a small town that, in the summer of 1988, became the epicenter of one of America’s strangest and most terrifying cryptid encounters.It all began just after midnight on June 29, 1988. Seventeen-year-old Christopher Davis was driving home from work when a flat tire on a lonely stretch of road near Scape Ore Swamp changed his life forever.What he saw that night — a seven-foot-tall, red-eyed creature covered in scales — would ignite a media firestorm, terrify an entire community, and give birth to a legend that still haunts the South to this day.In this episode, we walk through the chilling events that followed Davis’s encounter — from cars found mauled and bitten through their metal panels to dozens of frightened residents reporting the same thing: something alive in the swamp that shouldn’t exist. You’ll hear about the Ford owned by Tom and Mary Waye, covered in claw marks and bite impressions that defied explanation, and how Sheriff Liston Truesdale’s investigation — including plaster casts of massive three-toed footprints — gave the mystery credibility it had never had before.We also dig into what came after. From the eerie silence that fell over Lee County in the years that followed, to the shocking 2008 attack on Bob and Dixie Rawson’s van that reignited local fears. Then, we fast-forward to 2015, when a supposed church sighting made international headlines — and the 2017 solar eclipse, when the Lizard Man “returned” to social media with his own tongue-in-cheek Twitter account.But this episode isn’t just about the headlines. We share never-before-heard witness accounts — from a nurse who stayed silent for thirty years, to a group of Marines whose encounter during night training was quietly buried by their commanding officers.We even touch on the tragic fate of Christopher Davis himself, whose 2009 murder left unanswered questions and an unsettling sense that the full truth of that night died with him.We’ll explore the theories too — from cryptozoologists who link the Lizard Man to prehistoric reptiles like Carnufex carolinensis, to skeptics who blame misidentifications, hoaxes, or even environmental contamination. You’ll hear from researchers, scientists, and folklorists who all offer their take on what really happened — and why this legend still holds power decades later.We also look at how the Lizard Man changed Bishopville forever.Once a quiet rural community, the town now proudly embraces its monster — from annual festivals and roadside attractions to a permanent exhibit in the South Carolina Cotton Museum. What started as fear became folklore, and eventually, a piece of Southern culture.T oday, the investigation continues with modern tools — from thermal drones to environmental DNA testing — as researchers try to solve a mystery that refuses to die. And with new sightings still being reported as recently as 2023, some wonder if the creature that terrorized Bishopville all those years ago never really left.This episode takes you into the heart of South Carolina’s most enduring monster mystery — one that’s part folklore, part fear, and part very real experience for those who lived through it.So, if you ever find yourself driving near Scape Ore Swamp after dark… remember Christopher Davis. Remember the red eyes in the darkness. And maybe, just maybe, change that tire in the daylight. Because once you hear this episode, you’ll never look at a swamp the same way again.

What happens when two seasoned hunters head deep into the north Georgia mountains looking for a problem bear—and stumble onto something they can’t explain? This story has been buried for more than forty years. Now, for the first time, one of the only two men who lived through it is ready to talk about what really happened in the fall of 1983.It all started in a quiet corner of north Georgia where dogs began disappearing, cattle were turning up dead, and the locals were convinced a rogue bear was to blame. But not everything lined up. There were strange howls echoing through the valleys at night, and tracks that looked almost like bear prints—but not quite. Even the livestock were acting nervous in ways old ranchers couldn’t make sense of. That’s when two lifelong friends decided enough was enough. They packed up their rifles and gear and hiked into the backcountry determined to find whatever was responsible. What they discovered on that October hunt would change them forever—and bind them to a secret they carried for decades. This story comes straight from one of those men. He’s in his seventies now, and after his hunting partner passed away in 2019, he decided it was finally time to talk. He’s not looking for fame or attention—he just wants to tell the truth before it dies with him.As he tells it, the deeper they pushed into the forest, the stranger things became. A deer carcass was wedged high in a tree—nearly twenty feet up—with its neck twisted completely backward. Enormous footprints appeared in soft mud, too wide and too deep to belong to any known animal. Trees were bent and splintered, clawed and gouged as if something massive had moved through. And then… came the moment that still haunts him to this day. The face-to-face encounter with something that, by all accounts, shouldn’t exist. What makes this account so gripping is its honesty. There’s no embellishment, no dramatics—just the plain words of a man who’s lived with the memory for over forty years. It’s a story about what happens when ordinary people come up against something extraordinary, and how that kind of truth can weigh on a person for the rest of their life.He doesn’t ask you to believe him. He just wants to tell you what he saw—and let you decide for yourself.So settle in. We’re heading back to the north Georgia wilderness, 1983. Two hunters went into the mountains looking for a bear. What they found was something much bigger—something that walked upright—and something that’s been hiding in those woods long before any of us ever set foot there. This is his story. This is what happened. And after more than four decades of silence, it’s finally being told.

In the winter of 1913, the remote settlement of Traverspine in Labrador’s Mealy Mountains became the stage for one of Canada’s most enduring mysteries. Families living on the edge of survival reported nightly visits from a towering, white-maned creature that left enormous footprints, rattled cabins, and fought sled dogs with terrifying strength.Known as the Traverspine Gorilla, it would haunt the region’s history for over a century. What makes this story remarkable is not just the fear it inspired, but the credibility of those who documented it. Doctors Harry Paddon and Wilfred Grenfell, wildlife biologist Bruce S. Wright, and later explorer Adam Shoalts all investigated, recording consistent testimony and baffling physical evidence. From bloodstained snow to 12-inch two-toed tracks, the case defied easy dismissal.In this episode, we relive the Michelin family’s terrifying encounters, the hunts and ambushes that failed to corner the beast, and the theories that followed—bear, moose, exotic animal, or something science has yet to name. We’ll explore how extreme isolation and brutal frontier life shaped perception, and why credible witnesses still insisted this was no ordinary animal.The Traverspine mystery has been retold in journals, memoirs, and books for over a hundred years. Even today, travelers to the Mealy Mountains speak of strange voices in the night and the unsettling feeling of being watched. The whisper lingers in the wilderness—reminding us that some places still hold secrets, and some stories refuse to die.

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. There are scenes of intense fear, bodily harm, and primal horror that may be deeply disturbing to some listeners. This content is absolutely not suitable for younger listeners. If you have children nearby, please use headphones or save this for another time.

This episode is all about the chilling deathbed confession of Clyde, an 82-year-old West Virginia mountain man who, after forty years of silence, reveals the night he crossed paths with something ancient—and deadly. In 1983, deep on Beartown Ridge, Clyde’s life became entangled with a wounded Sasquatch whose rage and desperation had turned it from a hidden legend into a relentless predator.Told through the lens of a lengthy, almost desperate email to a stranger, Clyde’s story weaves generations of Appalachian folklore with a harrowing first-hand account of survival. It begins with eerie tales passed down from his grandfather—stories of glowing-eyed creatures prowling the ridgelines since 1902—and builds to a terrifying truth: a bear hunter’s shot in 1981 didn’t just wound a Sasquatch, it unleashed a predator that stalked the hollows, perhaps even claiming the lives of missing children.Clyde’s account avoids the usual Bigfoot clichés. Instead, it paints a disturbing portrait of intelligence and intent—a creature limping from an old wound, calculating every move, and watching with an almost human hunger in its eyes. His final confrontation, where he was forced to fire again and again just to survive, left more than scars. It left a lifetime of guilt.But this is more than a survival tale. Clyde believes his actions shattered an unspoken balance between the Sasquatch and the mountain folk, triggering a wave of encounters and disappearances that still haunt the region.His confession is not just a warning but a reckoning—one that suggests the mountains remember every trespass, and that some wounds, once inflicted, can never truly heal.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AM

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.

Tonight journey into the heart of northeastern Utah's most enigmatic location, where for centuries the impossible has been commonplace. This comprehensive exploration of Skinwalker Ranch traces its mysterious history from ancient Native American warnings about cursed ground through to today's cutting-edge scientific investigations.We examine the terrifying experiences of the Sherman family whose encounters with bulletproof wolves and vanishing cattle brought modern attention to the ranch, and follow the multi-million dollar investigation launched by billionaire Robert Bigelow that documented phenomena defying our understanding of physics.We also get into how the ranch has become a focal point for government interest, including classified military programs studying its potential for breakthrough technologies and threats to national security. Under current owner Brandon Fugal's stewardship, new discoveries continue to challenge our fundamental assumptions about reality, from the detection of metamaterials with impossible properties to the documentation of portals opening to other dimensions.We explore the profound human cost of investigating these phenomena, including mysterious injuries, psychological impacts, and the disturbing "hitchhiker effect" that follows researchers home.This episode weaves together eyewitness accounts, scientific data, and indigenous knowledge to present the most complete picture yet of a place that exists at the intersection of science and the supernatural. Whether the phenomena represent interdimensional incursions, time anomalies, or something beyond our current ability to comprehend, Skinwalker Ranch stands as humanity's most confounding mystery and perhaps our gateway to understanding that we are not alone in a universe far stranger than we ever imagined.

In this haunting episode, we present a forty-year-old confession from an anonymous Marine who encountered something in the Northern California wilderness that changed his life forever. During a routine training exercise in the Marble Mountain Wilderness in 1983, six Marines came face to face with creatures that shouldn't exist, leading to a violent confrontation that would haunt the sole narrator for the rest of his days. His account, shared here for the first time since his death, details not just the encounter itself but the decades of guilt, nightmares, and questions that followed. From mysterious howls in the night to massive footprints around their camp, from the intelligence in the creature's eyes to the anguish of a mother holding her child while looking at her dead mate, this story challenges everything we think we know about what lives in our forests.The Marine's testimony doesn't end with that terrible day in California. Years later, during a hunting trip in Alaska, he would have another encounter, this one peaceful but no less profound, that would cement his belief that these beings deserve to be left alone. His plea from beyond the grave is simple but powerful: let them be. But the story doesn't end there. In an epilogue, a researcher who has spent almost forty years investigating these creatures and conducting nearly a thousand interviews reflects on receiving the Marine's account and what it means for those who seek the truth. Should the existence of these beings be proven to science, potentially dooming them to exploitation and extinction?Or should their secret be kept while their habitat disappears around them? The researcher's struggle with this impossible choice reveals that sometimes the most profound mysteries are not about finding answers, but about learning to live with the weight of questions that may have no right answer.This episode contains mature themes including violence, death, and explores the moral complexity of humanity's relationship with the unknown.

In the ancient mountains of Western North Carolina, where emeralds hide in weathered stone and mist cloaks valleys older than memory, something watches from the shadows. This episode explores the legend of the Boojum, a massive, hair-covered recluse that has haunted these hills since before the Cherokee walked the ridges.Part Bigfoot, part treasure guardian, and wholly mysterious, the Boojum collects gems with the eye of a connoisseur and the strength to tear trees from the ground.Our story begins with a shaken geologist stumbling into a Burnsville diner with an impossible tale, then reaches back through centuries of encounters.From Cherokee oral traditions that speak of Nun'Yunu'Wi's cousin who left garnets at the doors of newborns, to Civil War soldiers fleeing in terror from a creature that seemed to forbid violence in its domain, to modern-day scientists discovering inexplicable forest gardens tended by an unknown hand, we trace the evolution of a legend that refuses to fade.Drawing from historical accounts, family journals, and the testimony of a secret network of protectors known as the Keepers, we explore  what happens when ancient mystery collides with the modern world of GPS tracking and thermal drones.In an age where every square foot of earth can be photographed from space, the Boojum reminds us that some things are more valuable when they remain hidden, and that wonder itself might be worth protecting.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our Sponsors

In April 1977, four teenagers in the quiet town of Dover, Massachusetts encountered something that would haunt them for the rest of their lives. Over the course of just 26 hours, multiple witnesses independently reported seeing a bizarre creature with glowing eyes, a massive watermelon-shaped head, and long, tendril-like fingers crawling along the town's ancient stone walls.This isn't a legend from centuries past or a story passed down through generations—this happened within living memory, to credible witnesses whose testimonies have never wavered. Join us as we explore the terrifying encounters that began with seventeen-year-old Bill Bartlett's late-night drive down Farm Street and ended with Abby Brabham's screams of terror on Springdale Avenue. We'll examine the immediate investigation led by renowned cryptozoologist Loren Coleman, the theories that have attempted to explain these sightings, and the lasting impact on a community that learned that monsters might be more than just stories. From Dover's dark colonial history of devil sightings in the 1600s to its proximity to Massachusetts' paranormal hotspot known as the Bridgewater Triangle, we'll place these encounters in the broader context of New England's tradition of the unexplained. Through detailed witness accounts, investigator interviews, and expert analysis, we reconstruct those two terrifying nights when something impossible crawled out of the darkness and into the headlines.The Dover Demon has never been explained, never been debunked, and never been seen again—at least, not officially. But on quiet nights in Dover, when the moon is thin and the shadows grow long, locals still drive a little faster past those old stone walls, knowing that some mysteries are better left unsolved.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our Sponsors

In the shadow of the ancient Appalachian Mountains, where morning mist clings to valleys older than memory, something walks on two legs that shouldn't exist. Tonight's bone-chilling episode takes you deep into the heart of America's most enduring mystery, beginning with a terrifying encounter from 1879 when the Henderson family of Craig County, Virginia came face to face with an eight-foot-tall nightmare peering through their kitchen window.This was no bear, no trick of the light, but something with eyes that held an intelligence both ancient and terrible. We journey back through centuries of horror, starting with the Cherokee people who knew these mountains harbored Tsul'Kalu, the slant-eyed giant with seven fingers on each massive hand. Their legends speak not of a simple beast but of a being with disturbing intelligence, one that could take human brides and transform into the horrifying Raven Mocker, capable of stealing hearts from living victims without leaving a single mark. These weren't campfire stories but warnings passed down with the deadly seriousness of survival knowledge, including the haunting tale of a Cherokee woman whose mysterious suitor turned out to be something that had to fold itself to fit inside her dwelling, its head scraping the rafters while its feet touched the opposite wall. As European settlers pushed into the wilderness, they encountered their own nightmares. We reveal the suppressed military records from the Civil War, when both Union and Confederate soldiers witnessed a massive figure walking among the battlefield dead at Droop Mountain, tenderly checking bodies and carrying wounded soldiers to safety with inhuman strength. The lumber camps of the late 1800s became theaters of terror, particularly the 1909 incident at Spruce Knob where something systematically destroyed an entire logging operation with its bare hands, tearing apart steam engines and leaving a message written in twisted metal and shattered wood that couldn't be clearer: leave these mountains or die.The modern era brought no relief from the terror. In 1959, a one-room schoolhouse in Buchanan County became a prison of fear when something tried every door and window while eight children and their teacher huddled in terror, watching massive fingers with yellowed nails reach through a partially open window. The creature's face appeared at each window in turn, ancient and terrible, with glowing yellow eyes that showed an intelligence that made its interest in the children all the more horrifying.The creation of the Appalachian Trail opened a new chapter of encounters, with experienced hikers and military veterans reduced to cowering in their tents as something massive circled their camps, attempting to speak in sounds that almost formed words, as if desperately trying to communicate across an impossible divide. The 1976 case of former Marine David Carpenter, who abandoned his thru-hike after something rehung his food bag fifteen feet higher than humanly possible, demonstrates that even hardened soldiers found themselves outmatched by whatever walks these ridges.We explore the modern explosion of sightings, including the 2006 Hungry Mother State Park incidents witnessed by multiple families, where a creature showed particular interest in tents containing children, approaching with a curiosity that parents found more terrifying than any aggression. The narrative reaches into the digital age with thermal drone footage from 2023 showing multiple bipedal heat signatures moving through the forest canopy, communicating with each other using vocalizations that linguistic experts claim show patterns consistent with language structure.Throughout this journey into darkness, we hear from the witnesses themselves, from nineteenth-century German settlers who watched in horror as something lifted entire roof structures off cabins, to modern researchers like Jeff Carpenter who looked into the eyes of these creatures and saw an intelligence that challenged everything he thought he knew about the natural world. The West Virginia Bigfoot Museum's collection of over three hundred footprint casts shows anatomical features that experts say would be nearly impossible to fake consistently across decades of hoaxes. But perhaps most chilling are the habituation sites, where property owners claim to have established ongoing contact with these entities, revealing not mere animals but beings with family structures, moral codes, and a culture that predates human presence in these mountains. One retired biology professor's five-year study suggests these creatures possess an intelligence that may equal or exceed our own, watching us from the forest edge with patience that spans generations. As we reach our terrifying conclusion, we're left with the understanding that every night in the six-hundred-thousand square miles of Appalachia, someone experiences something that will haunt them forever. The mountains themselves seem complicit in hiding these creatures, keeping secrets in their shadowed valleys and mist-shrouded peaks.The Cherokee elders remind us that Tsul'Kalu never left; we simply stopped seeing him, existing as he does in the space between the physical and spirit worlds, appearing when he chooses to remind us that we are not the only intelligence walking these ancient paths.When you hear something outside your window tonight, when your dog refuses to go outside, when you glimpse movement in the forest that doesn't match any known animal, remember that in the darkest corners of Appalachia, the monsters are real, they are intelligent, and they are closer than you think.Sleep well, if you can, knowing that somewhere in those blue-ridged mountains tonight, ancient eyes are watching from the treeline, massive footprints are being pressed into the soft earth, and the thin veil between legend and reality grows thinner with each passing hour. The mountains remember what we choose to forget, and in that remembering, the terror endures, waiting for the moment when humanity is finally ready to accept that we were never alone in these hills.

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.

Welcome to a story that will make you question every creak, every shadow, and every whisper you hear in your own home after dark. Today we present "The Whispering Fields," a deeply personal account of supernatural terror that unfolds not in some distant, fictional realm, but in the familiar setting of a family trying to start fresh in a new home.This is Marcus Hartwell's story, told in his own words as an adult reflecting back on the summer he turned twelve—the summer his family moved to an old farmhouse in rural Tennessee that had been waiting patiently for just the right occupants to arrive.What begins as a typical tale of moving-day chaos and the adjustment period that comes with any old house quickly transforms into something far more sinister and personal.Marcus narrates his experience with the unflinching honesty of someone who has carried these memories for decades, someone who has had years to process what happened to him and his family during those terrifying weeks in 1985. His account reads like a confession, a testimony, and a warning all rolled into one.There are no embellishments here, no dramatic flourishes—just the stark recollection of a boy who found himself at the center of supernatural forces that had been building for over a century. The story takes us deep into the psychology of haunting, exploring how a house can choose its victims and systematically work to claim them.This isn't your typical ghost story filled with jump scares and rattling chains. Instead, it's a slow-burn psychological horror that examines what happens when something ancient and patient sets its sights on a child, and how that child must ultimately choose between surrendering to forces beyond his understanding or sacrificing something precious to save himself and his family.Set against the backdrop of rural Tennessee's rolling fields and forgotten histories, Marcus's account weaves together family dynamics, local folklore, and genuinely unsettling supernatural encounters.The Blackwood property carries secrets that stretch back to the 1800s, involving a reclusive man whose interests in the occult left a permanent mark on the land itself. Marcus discovers that some places hold onto their past with a grip so tight that the boundaries between what was and what is begin to blur.What makes this story particularly chilling is its intimate, first-person perspective. Marcus doesn't just tell us what happened—he makes us feel what it was like to be a twelve-year-old boy slowly realizing that his new home had been waiting specifically for him, that he possessed something rare and valuable that entities from spaces between worlds desperately needed. His voice carries the weight of someone who survived something that could have easily destroyed him, but who paid a price for that survival that he's still processing decades later.This is a story about choices—the ones we make and the ones that are made for us. It's about the price of sensitivity in a world where some things are better left unseen and unheard. It's about family bonds tested by circumstances beyond normal experience, and about the courage it takes to sacrifice a part of yourself for the greater good.Content advisory: This story contains supernatural themes, mild psychological terror, and situations involving a child in supernatural peril. While there is no graphic violence or explicit content, the story does deal with themes of possession and occult practices that some listeners may find disturbing. The horror is atmospheric and psychological rather than graphic, but it builds to genuinely unsettling encounters that may not be suitable for younger listeners or those particularly sensitive to supernatural content.As you listen to Marcus tell his story, you might find yourself checking the corners of your own room, wondering about the history of your own home, or questioning whether that sound you just heard was really just the house settling.That's exactly the kind of lasting unease that makes this tale so effective—it doesn't just entertain, it lingers, making you aware of all the sounds and shadows that surround you in your own daily life.So dim the lights, get comfortable, and prepare to step into Marcus Hartwell's world, where an old farmhouse holds secrets that span generations, where dreams and reality blur together in disturbing ways, and where a twelve-year-old boy must face a choice that will define the rest of his life.

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.

This episode contains one of the most haunting encounter stories we've ever featured on the show. Fair warning: this isn't your typical campfire tale about mysterious footprints or distant howls in the night. This is a confession, carried in silence for thirty-seven years by a man named Frank, about what really happened on a hunting trip in October 1988 that destroyed four lives and left a trail of tragedy that echoes to this day.Frank and his three lifelong friends—Earl, Tommy, and Roy—had been running coons together every Friday night for over twenty years in the ridges above Copper Creek, Tennessee.They knew the local folklore, of course. Everyone did. Stories stretching back to the 1890s about hunting parties vanishing, about doors torn from cabins, about children glimpsing a "hairy man" by the water. The Carver family incident of 1952, where something too tall for the ceiling walked through their home. The two boys who disappeared in 1963, their trail going cold at the same clearing where searchers found bones arranged in patterns. Luther's claim that he'd shot one in 1985, only to watch it run away on two legs despite blood loss that should have killed anything.They knew these stories, laughed at them over beers, and kept hunting those ridges anyway. After all, they'd each had their own strange experiences up there—tracks that didn't make sense, deer cached impossibly high in trees, nests lined with pine branches and dark hair too long for any bear.But talking about those things would make them real, and it was easier to look away.That October night started like hundreds before it. Six dogs eager to run, four men who'd known each other since grade school, and a perfect autumn evening for hunting. For two hours, everything was normal. Then the dogs' voices changed from the musical baying of a chase to something else entirely—confused yelps escalating to screams before cutting off one by one like someone pulling plugs.What followed was an encounter that lasted perhaps ten minutes but destroyed four lives completely. Frank's account describes creatures that stood seven feet tall, covered in dark hair, with faces almost human but not quite. Hands with five fingers and opposable thumbs. Eyes that reflected yellow-green in the flashlight beams. And intelligence—clear, undeniable intelligence in how they moved, how they communicated with clicking sounds, how they herded the men toward a narrow trail where escape would be impossible.When the largest creature blocked their path—an old male with a twisted left leg from some ancient injury—Earl raised his rifle and fired.The bullet struck, blood flowed, but the creature didn't fall. Instead, it crossed twenty feet in two strides and swept Earl off the trail with one arm. The sound of Earl hitting trees on his way down the slope, then silence.In the chaos that followed, Frank and Tommy shot both creatures—the injured male and a female who charged when she saw him fall. But the female, Frank realized too late, had been nursing. Somewhere in those dark woods was an orphaned infant.They buried the bodies deep, concocted a story about Earl slipping in the dark, and carried their friend's broken body out at dawn. The lie held. The funeral was well-attended.Frank gave the eulogy, standing in his only suit and lying about how Earl died doing what he loved.But the real dying had just begun. Tommy crawled into a bottle and never climbed out, dead in a Memphis flophouse two years later at thirty-nine. Roy fell into religious mania, convinced they'd killed angels or demons, eventually disappearing into some compound in Idaho to wait for the end times.And Frank? Frank spent thirty-seven years researching, mapping sightings, understanding too late that what they'd killed weren't monsters but something parallel to us—intelligent beings with their own culture, their own families, their own art. He still keeps a river stone he found clutched in the female's hand, marked with deliberate patterns. A mother carrying something beautiful she'd made, perhaps for the baby she'd never see again.Frank's confession carries the weight of understanding that came too late. These creatures had names he'll never know, burial rituals that were interrupted, others who mourned them. The old male's sad eyes in that final moment before the killing shots—not angry anymore, just resigned to how it would always end between their kind and ours. Frank is seventy-nine now, hands too shaky for a rifle, knees too weak for mountain trails, but still hearing that roar of loss when the male saw his mate fall. Still knowing that somewhere out there, if it survived, is a creature his age who grew up without parents because of what happened that night on Copper Creek.The stories about that area have mostly stopped now. Development has pushed through with gas stations and subdivisions where ancient paths once ran. The young people don't know the history, and the old-timers who remembered are mostly gone. But Frank knows they're still out there in the spaces we haven't reached yet, teaching their young to fear us, to run rather than stand their ground. We won that night, he says, but what did we really win? The right to pretend we're alone? The comfort of not sharing the world with something that shows us what we might have been?This isn't a story that asks for forgiveness or understanding. It's a confession of something unforgivable, a truth that needed telling before it destroyed the last man carrying it. Earl didn't die in a hunting accident. Tommy didn't become a drunk for no reason. Roy didn't lose his mind from nothing.They killed two beings that might have been the last of their kind in those mountains, orphaned a baby, and covered it all up with lies that poisoned everything they touched afterward.Some encounters change you. This one destroyed four men as surely as those bullets destroyed two creatures who had the misfortune of crossing paths with humans on a dark mountain trail. It's a reminder that sometimes the real monsters in the woods carry rifles and flashlights, and the things we fear might have more reason to fear us.If you've had an encounter that's haunted you, whether for years or recently, reach out to Brian at paranormal world productions dot com.Every story adds another piece to the puzzle of what shares our world. Some stories thrill us, some mystify us, and some, like Frank's, remind us that contact between worlds doesn't always end with wonder—sometimes it ends with the kind of regret that follows you to the grave.

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.

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.

In this episode, Bill—a retired forest ranger—shares his full, unedited account of six encounters that changed the course of his 25-year career with the U.S. Forest Service. From 1994 to 2019, Bill worked in wildlife tracking and wilderness patrol, but early on, a senior ranger showed him a footprint and warned him about things they don’t put in reports. That moment marked the beginning of a quiet obsession. He  eventually left the job five years before qualifying for full pension. What drove him out was a long trail of unexplained phenomena—patterns he could no longer ignore, and stories the agency refused to acknowledge. His encounters span decades and locations, from Oregon to the Adirondacks, each one revealing signs of intelligence, curiosity, and restraint from something that doesn’t officially exist.

Tonight we venture into the deep wilderness of Northern California, where a family's simple vacation becomes a nightmare that challenges everything they thought they knew about the world. Tom and Sarah, along with their teenage sons Matt and Jake, were just trying to take a shortcut to their campground when they made a fateful turn onto an unmarked forest road that would change their lives forever.What begins as a minor navigation error quickly escalates into something far more sinister.The GPS fails, cell service vanishes, and most disturbing of all, the road they just traveled down seems to disappear entirely behind them. The forest itself appears to be closing in, trapping them in a place that shouldn't exist on any map. But the family isn't alone in these ancient woods. Something has been watching them since they first entered the treeline, something that moves just beyond the edge of vision and understands the forest in ways no human should. These aren't random wild animals or lost hikers gone feral. These are creatures that have evolved beyond humanity, adapting to survive in the deepest wilderness while never forgetting their hunger for what they once were.This story explores the thin line between civilization and savagery, between the world we think we know and the older, darker world that still exists in the forgotten places. It's about a family pushed to their absolute limits, forced to discover strength they never knew they had when faced with an enemy that defies all rational explanation. Tom finds himself wielding weapons he hoped he'd never need, while Sarah transforms from suburban mother to fierce protector. The boys, Matt and Jake, must grow up fast in an environment where childhood innocence becomes a luxury they can no longer afford. Together, they learn that sometimes survival isn't just about staying alive—it's about holding onto your humanity when everything around you has forgotten what that means.The creatures they encounter represent our deepest fears about what lurks in the spaces between the known world and the void beyond. They're intelligent, patient, and utterly alien in their understanding of human nature.They don't just hunt for food—they collect, they study, they adapt. And they've been doing it far longer than anyone realized.This episode examines themes of family bonds under extreme pressure, the price of knowledge that can never be unknown, and the question of what we're truly capable of when everything we hold dear is threatened. It's a story about ordinary people forced into extraordinary circumstances, and how they emerge forever changed by their encounter with something that should have remained hidden in the deep woods.The resolution brings both closure and wisdom, as we learn that some battles, once won, leave scars that serve as permanent reminders of how fragile our sense of safety really is. The family's ordeal becomes not just a tale of survival, but a transformation that redefines their understanding of strength, courage, and the unbreakable bonds that hold a family together when the world tries to tear them apart.Join us as we follow their journey from a simple wrong turn to a confrontation with ancient horrors, and discover how sometimes the most terrifying detours lead us exactly where we need to be to find out who we really are when everything else is stripped away.

In this  episode, we dive into one of the most harrowing Sasquatch encounters I've ever had the privilege to share. Our witness, David, reached out to me after years of listening to the podcast, drawn by my law enforcement background and approach to witness testimony. What he shared will stay with you long after the episode ends.The summer of 1976 was supposed to be a rite of passage for four thirteen-year-old boys from Troy, North Carolina. David, Tommy, Mark, and Joey had planned their first multi-day camping trip into the remote areas of Uwharrie National Forest, determined to prove they were old enough to handle real wilderness adventure. What started as an innocent camping expedition quickly became a fight for survival against something that shouldn't exist.David's account stands out for several reasons. First, the creature they encountered bore a distinctive injury - a severely damaged left arm that appeared to have healed incorrectly, creating a unique identifying characteristic that sets this sighting apart from others. This disability seemed to drive the creature's behavior, making it more desperate and willing to view the boys as potential prey rather than simply observing them from a distance.The intelligence displayed by these creatures is perhaps the most chilling aspect of David's story.What began as distant vocalizations quickly escalated into a coordinated siege that lasted an entire night. The boys found themselves under assault from multiple creatures using tools and tactics that demonstrated sophisticated planning and problem-solving abilities. Rocks became weapons, burning branches were turned against their own fire, and the attacks were timed to maximize psychological pressure.Mark's quick thinking with his grandfather's twenty-two rifle may have saved their lives, though the bullets that found their target only wounded and enraged the creature rather than stopping it. The boys spent a terrifying night feeding their fire and fighting off attacks from intelligent predators who understood that darkness and exhaustion would eventually work in their favor.David's narrative captures not just the terror of that encounter, but the profound way it shaped four young lives. Each boy processed the experience differently as they grew into adulthood. Tommy became obsessed with returning to find proof, a drive that may have contributed to his eventual military career and tragic death.Mark channeled his experience into scientific study, while Joey dedicated his life to protecting the very forests where they'd encountered the unknown. David himself found stability in numbers and logic, building a normal life while carrying the weight of extraordinary knowledge.What makes this account particularly compelling is David's measured, thoughtful approach to sharing his story. Nearly fifty years later, he can analyze the encounter with the wisdom of age while still conveying the raw terror of that night. His details about the creatures' tactical behavior, their apparent social structure, and their sophisticated understanding of human psychology paint a picture of beings far more complex and dangerous than the typical forest giant narrative.The Uwharrie Mountains have a long history of unexplained encounters, and David's story fits into a larger pattern of sightings in North Carolina's ancient hills. His correspondence with other witnesses and his ongoing relationship with Joey, who spent his career in forest management, provides ongoing context for understanding these creatures as part of a hidden ecosystem that most humans never glimpse.This episode also touches on the broader implications of such encounters.David discusses the government interest in the area over the years, the careful documentation of unexplained incidents by forest service personnel, and the consistent patterns that emerge when you look at these sightings objectively. His law enforcement appreciation for evidence and witness credibility adds weight to testimony that might otherwise be dismissed.Perhaps most importantly, David's story serves as a reminder that our understanding of the natural world remains incomplete. These aren't just campfire tales or folklore, but encounters with intelligent beings that have perfected the art of remaining hidden while maintaining complex social structures and sophisticated survival strategies.The episode concludes with David's reflections on how the encounter shaped his worldview, his parenting, and his approach to life's mysteries. His message isn't one of fear, but of respect for the unknown and the importance of approaching the wilderness with proper preparation and awareness.This is essential listening for anyone interested in serious cryptozoology research, unexplained encounters, or the ongoing mystery of what might still be hiding in America's deepest forests. David's story reminds us that sometimes the most extraordinary experiences happen to the most ordinary people, and that truth can indeed be stranger than fiction.

In this chilling episode, we share an anonymous account from Mike, a veteran search and rescue team leader with seventeen years of experience in the Colorado Rockies. What started as a routine missing hiker call three years ago became one of the most extraordinary and terrifying encounters ever documented by a SAR team. When twenty-eight-year-old Amy disappeared while attempting a solo hike in the treacherous Devil's Backbone area, Mike's team deployed their newly acquired drone to scan the deep ravines where traditional search methods would be too dangerous. The thermal imaging quickly located Amy on a narrow ledge two hundred feet down in the canyon, alive but trapped and clearly terrified.What the drone captured next defied all explanation. A massive, bipedal creature emerged from the shadows of the ravine, standing over seven feet tall with dark fur and unmistakably intelligent eyes. Rather than threatening Amy, the creature began making complex vocalizations that seemed designed to communicate with her. The team watched in stunned silence as this unknown being positioned itself protectively between Amy and some unseen threat deeper in the canyon.Mike's account details how the creature ultimately guided Amy to safety through treacherous terrain that would have challenged even experienced rock climbers, leading her along ancient routes through the ravine system that weren't marked on any map. When Amy was finally rescued, she described how the creature had been protecting her from other predatory sounds in the darkness and had used gentle vocalizations to calm her fears throughout the night.This encounter was just the beginning of Mike's journey into a hidden world that exists parallel to our own. As he reached out to other SAR teams across the country, a disturbing pattern emerged. Teams from Montana to California to Washington state had similar footage and encounters, all carefully covered up to protect professional credibility. Missing persons cases began clustering around areas where these creatures had been sighted, suggesting something far more complex than isolated incidents.Mike's investigation revealed what appears to be an entire ecosystem of intelligent cryptid species living in North American wilderness areas. Government documents allegedly classify these beings into three distinct categories: the Guardians who help lost humans, the Stalkers who view humans as prey, and the mysterious Watchers who seem to manage the delicate balance between the other two species.The account becomes increasingly urgent as Mike describes how this ancient balance is beginning to collapse.Climate change and human encroachment are forcing these creatures into smaller territories, making the predatory species more aggressive while driving the helpful ones deeper into hiding. The government's response has reportedly been to increase cover-up efforts rather than address the underlying crisis. Through drone footage, thermal imaging, and firsthand testimonies from experienced wilderness professionals, this episode presents compelling evidence that we share our wild spaces with intelligences that have been watching us, studying us, and in many cases protecting us for centuries. Mike's network has now documented over one hundred Guardian encounters that resulted in human lives being saved, while identifying dozens of disappearances that may be attributed to the more dangerous species.The implications extend far beyond individual encounters. If Mike's account is accurate, wilderness management policies may need fundamental revision to acknowledge relationships with species that possess intelligence, territorial behaviors, and the ability to either help or harm human visitors to their domains. The episode raises profound questions about what we truly know about the creatures that inhabit our most remote wilderness areas and whether the general public has a right to understand the risks and protections that may exist in these hidden ecosystems.Mike concludes his account with practical advice for wilderness travelers while calling for greater transparency from government agencies and wilderness management organizations.His message is clear: the truth is literally living in the shadows between the trees, and the time has come to acknowledge what SAR professionals have been quietly documenting for years. This episode contains authentic drone footage descriptions, thermal imaging analysis, and detailed documentation from multiple search and rescue operations across twelve states. Listener discretion is advised for those planning wilderness travel, as this account may fundamentally change how you view your next backcountry adventure.

In this episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories, we take a detour from the deep woods and follow a trail of glowing red eyes straight into the heart of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Between 1966 and 1967, something strange haunted the skies and backroads of this small town—something that defied logic and terrified everyone who laid eyes on it.They called it the Mothman.Described as a towering figure with massive wings and burning red eyes, this creature was more than just a strange sighting. For some, it was a warning. For others, it was a curse. And when the Silver Bridge collapsed in December of 1967, killing 46 people, many believed the Mothman had foretold the disaster—or even caused it.In this episode, we explore the origins of the Mothman legend, revisit the chilling eyewitness encounters that made headlines, and look at how fear, folklore, and tragedy fused into one of America’s most iconic cryptid mysteries. We also unpack the theories—ranging from secret government experiments to interdimensional visitors—and talk about how a small Appalachian town turned its nightmare into a lasting legend.Whether you think the Mothman is a paranormal prophet, a misunderstood creature, or just a case of mass hysteria, one thing’s for sure—once you hear the stories, you’ll never look at a dark country road the same way again.

In the early 1980s, a Florida family of four set out on a camping trip to the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area—and never returned. According to legend, they were attacked by a large, wolf-like creature. The father was found dead outside the RV, the mother mutilated nearby, one child torn apart inside the camper, and the other discovered high in a tree. No official reports confirm this event, but the story has taken root as one of the most unsettling pieces of American cryptid folklore.This episode explores one version of that story—possibly the most detailed account, but far from the only one. We retrace the history of Land Between the Lakes, starting with the forced removal of hundreds of families to make way for the recreation area.From there, we move into the eerie details of the alleged attack and the claims of a government cover-up that followed. Along the way, we examine decades of strange encounters, unexplained evidence, and witness accounts that continue to stir fear and fascination.The creature at the heart of the legend—often called the Beast of LBL, the Dogman, or simply the Monster—is described as a seven-foot-tall, muscular but lean figure with glowing red eyes and long claws. Stories about it stretch back over 200 years, with roots in Native American oral history. In this version, we look closely at the alleged victims: a family from Florida, including two children named Bradley and Megan, and the law enforcement officers who reportedly found the aftermath of something horrific.Some accounts mention that the case was reviewed by pathologists and examiners, but their findings were never officially released and were quickly classified. Reports speak of wounds that didn’t match any known animal, evidence that vanished into federal custody, and a rapid response that many believe suggests someone was expecting something exactly like this to happen.Even today, strange things are still reported in the northern parts of Land Between the Lakes: massive footprints, tufts of unidentified hair, signs of animal panic, and stories of electronic equipment suddenly failing.Those who spend time deep in the woods speak of an overwhelming sense of being watched—and sometimes, of seeing something that shouldn’t exist.Despite all of this, the U.S. Forest Service maintains that there is no verified evidence of any such creature. Official statements deny any knowledge, and the story is written off as urban legend.We don’t claim to offer proof. This episode is an exploration of a persistent and terrifying piece of American folklore. It's a story built on whispers, sightings, and the fear of what might be waiting just beyond the campfire’s glow.Whether it's myth, misremembered tragedy, or something far stranger, the tale of the Beast of Land Between the Lakes endures.This episode contains graphic descriptions of alleged violence, including harm to children. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

On September 12, 1952, a group of children in Braxton County, West Virginia, witnessed something that would shatter the quiet of their mountain town—a 10-foot-tall creature with glowing red eyes and a helmet-shaped head. What followed wasn’t folklore. It was one of the most thoroughly documented and chilling cryptid encounters in American history.In this episode, we unravel the full story of the Flatwoods Monster: a case supported not only by eyewitnesses, but by physical evidence, medical records, and official investigations. From the initial sighting of a fiery object streaking across the sky to two close encounters that left witnesses physically ill and investigators baffled, this wasn’t a hoax—it was a mystery that refused to fade. You’ll hear how a terrified group, led by a National Guardsman, came face-to-face with something that emitted toxic mist and moved in unnatural ways. We examine the physical traces left behind—radiation hotspots, metallic fragments, scorched vegetation—and the disturbing medical symptoms that followed. Despite explanations ranging from mass hysteria to barn owls, none have accounted for all the evidence.The Flatwoods case drew national media, Project Blue Book, and decades of scientific analysis. Modern experts have verified the trauma of the witnesses and found clues suggesting advanced technology far beyond what was available in the 1950s. To this day, the encounter remains unsolved—but not forgotten. Flatwoods now honors the event with a museum and festival, keeping alive the story of the night something not of this world may have crashed in the hills of West Virginia.

What begins as a quiet weekend camping trip for two off-duty Air Force servicemen spirals into one of the most disturbing and credible alien abduction accounts in modern history.In this episode, we explore the chilling true story of Terry Lovelace—an attorney, veteran, and former Assistant Attorney General—who has spent decades coming to terms with what happened to him in the summer of 1977 at Devil’s Den State Park.Terry and his friend had set up camp in a remote clearing, expecting nothing more than a peaceful night under the stars. But as darkness fell, the forest around them grew eerily silent—unnaturally so. Without warning, an enormous, black, triangular craft appeared overhead, hovering soundlessly above their campsite.That’s when time itself seemed to fracture. The next thing they knew, hours had passed, and they were back in their tent—terrified, confused, and unable to explain what had happened. Years later, under hypnosis, Terry would recall the horrifying details of that missing time: the pale, expressionless entities, the cold examination tables, and the overwhelming sense of powerlessness. Disturbingly, a routine medical X-ray would later reveal a mysterious implant in his leg—an object that doctors couldn’t explain, and which seemed to emit radio frequencies when scanned.This isn’t just a story of an abduction—it’s a story of trauma, buried memory, and the terrifying possibility that we are not only being watched… but taken. And if Terry Lovelace’s experience is to be believed, they may not have been the first… or the last.Whether you’re a staunch skeptic, a believer in the unexplained, or just someone fascinated by the dark fringes of reality, this is one story that will rattle your sense of what’s possible.🚨 Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of abduction, physical trauma, and psychological distress. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

A Vietnam War helicopter mechanic named Frank vanishes in 2024. Left behind: a handwritten account spanning 50 years. It starts with “foo fighters”—strange lights pacing U.S. aircraft in Vietnam—and ends in the Oregon wilderness, where similar lights appear at a remote fishing spot called Devil’s Elbow. Frank returns decades later with a drone enthusiast named Chris. They pick up disturbing electromagnetic readings. Then Chris disappears too. Frank’s technical eye and military background give weight to his account—he wasn’t imagining things. The question is: what’s watching us, and why?Story 2: The Hitchhiker Beyond the Truck StopAlong I-40, truckers keep seeing the same thing: hitchhikers who vanish without a trace. They look real, talk normal, give directions—and then disappear, often right outside a truck stop or gas station. The pattern spans states and decades. The most haunted stretch? Between New Mexico and Tennessee.Some think these phantoms are tied to sites of past trauma—accidents, lost towns, graveyards buried under asphalt. Others think something older is using the roads—and us—for something we don’t yet understand.

In this episode, we explore one of the most disturbing and unforgettable stories ever told on Coast to Coast AM. A man calling himself “Bugs” phoned in with a confession that sounded more like a campfire ghost story—except he claimed it really happened.Back in the early 1970s, Bugs and a fellow hunter were out spotlighting illegally in the dense woods of Texas when they spotted what they first thought were bears.But as the figures stepped into the light, it became clear they were looking at something else entirely: two tall, broad-shouldered creatures walking upright, covered in hair, with faces that looked eerily human. Without hesitation, the men opened fire.According to Bugs, they dragged the bodies away and buried them in a shallow grave—then vowed never to speak of it again. But decades later, the memory was still eating at him.He called in not for fame, but out of guilt, fear, and the need to unload a secret he’d carried for most of his life.We revisit the full account: the setting, the killing, the horrifying realization that these might not have been animals at all—and the eerie calm in Bugs’ voice as he recounts it. Along the way, we’ll look at how this story fits into the broader world of Bigfoot lore, the culture of poaching in that era, and the strange intersection of trauma and the paranormal.It’s a tale that raises uncomfortable questions about what we believe, what we suppress, and how far people go to bury the truth.If you’ve ever wondered what it would really feel like to kill a legend, this is the story that makes you think twice.

For years, mainstream researchers insisted Sasquatch existed—if at all—only in the Pacific Northwest. But the witnesses in this episode know better. From Georgia’s Blue Ridge to the Florida swamps, these firsthand encounters, spanning over fifty years, reveal a hidden population thriving in the American South.Tonight, you’ll hear stories of a hunter who faced down an eight-foot creature shaking his tree stand, a ginseng picker who stumbled into a remote valley where intelligent beings debated his fate, and a solo hiker systematically stalked through the Appalachian wilderness.You’ll also hear the chilling account of a veteran Florida sheriff’s deputy who, after years of dealing with gators and fugitives, came face-to-face with a massive creature emerging from the cypress swamp, making it clear who really owned the land.Then, a Kentucky poacher finds himself hunted by towering predators, and an Alabama homesteader forms an unlikely, year-long bond with something not entirely human. These aren’t blurry-photo stories or secondhand rumors.These are raw, detailed accounts from people who came far too close to something impossible.Join Mireya's Explorer Society Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AM

These aren't your typical Bigfoot stories.No grainy photos. No stomping footprints. No overpowering stench.These five encounters go deeper—into something far more unsettling: the intelligence behind the presence.Jake was driving home from the paper mill when his headlights caught a figure by the roadside. It didn’t flinch. Didn’t even look his way. It stood there, still and distant, like it belonged—and Jake didn’t.At a remote campsite, Sarah and her friends joked and laughed until something in the woods began echoing them with eerie precision.Each response came with a ten-second delay, as if it were learning—processing—before answering back.Dorothy had been feeding birds outside her kitchen for years. Then one night, something much larger than a raccoon started emptying her feeders. The moment she locked eyes with it through the window, she knew: it wasn’t just scavenging. It was curious. Watching. Thinking.Dave had hunted the same woods for decades. He knew the terrain like his own backyard—until he realized something was retracing his exact path, studying his scent trails and tree marks like it was collecting clues.And then there's Maria. Her midnight guest didn’t roar or threaten. It organized the tools on her porch, arranging them with a care that felt deliberate, almost helpful. It was as if it wanted to communicate—on its own terms.These aren't stories of fear—they're stories of awareness.Moments where people realized they weren't alone.Moments where the watcher became the watched.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AM

On Christmas Day, 1985, bestselling author Whitley Strieber was staying with his family at a secluded cabin in upstate New York. What happened to him that night would change his life—and ignite one of the most controversial and chilling conversations in modern American history.He claimed he was taken.By beings he could not describe.To a place he could not understand.In this episode of Disturbing History, Brian unpacks the story behind Communion, the book that launched a cultural obsession with alien abduction and introduced the world to the now-iconic image of the gray alien.Whether you believe he was visited by beings from another world, suffered a psychological event, or stumbled into something beyond current understanding—this is a story that forces us to confront the limits of what we call “reality.”Because sometimes, the most disturbing stories…Aren’t hidden in history books.They’re buried in memory.

In 1924, Albert Ostman set out to find gold in British Columbia’s rugged backcountry. What he found instead was something far stranger—and far more terrifying.Ostman, a hardened outdoorsman, claimed he was abducted in the night by a towering creature and carried miles into the wilderness. When he came to, he was trapped in a hidden mountain valley—face to face with a family of sasquatch.Over six days, he studied them.They weren’t animals. They had structure, language, even hospitality. But that strange kindness came with a darker purpose: Albert suspected he’d been taken as a mate for the family’s daughter.Armed with only his wits and a tin of tobacco, he plotted a wild escape through some of the harshest terrain in North America. He kept the story to himself for over three decades, fearing ridicule—until guilt and age finally pushed him to speak out.In this episode, we explore one of the most bizarre and detailed Bigfoot encounters ever recorded—before the creature hit pop culture, before there was a name for what he saw. Whether you think it’s truth, hoax, or something in between, this story will stay with you.

Welcome to another spine-chilling episode where we delve deep into one of America's most enduring supernatural legends. Tonight, we explore the terrifying tale of the Jersey Devil, a creature born from desperation, blasphemy, and a mother's curse that echoes through nearly three centuries of American folklore.Our story begins in the winter of 1735, deep within New Jersey's Pine Barrens, a vast wilderness that has always been different from other forests. The Lenape Native Americans spoke of this place in hushed tones, calling it a land of shadows where spirits dwelt in the deepest groves.When European settlers arrived, they found the forest resistant to civilization itself, as if the very soil rejected their attempts at taming the wild.In this primordial landscape lived the Leeds family, existing on the margins of colonial society in a ramshackle cabin that seemed to exhale malevolence. Deborah Leeds, weathered by hardship and twisted by bitterness, had already borne twelve children to her weak-willed husband Daniel. As she felt the stirrings of her thirteenth child, the crushing weight of poverty and desperation drove her to make a bargain that would damn not just her own soul, but unleash upon the world a creature so terrible that its very existence would become woven into the fabric of American folklore.On the night of January 13th, 1735, as an unnatural storm raged outside their cursed cabin, Mother Leeds spoke words of blasphemy that would forever change the Pine Barrens. In her fury at God's apparent abandonment, she cursed her unborn child, asking that it be born not as a blessing but as the very Devil himself. Her desperate plea was answered in ways she could never have imagined.What emerged from that supernatural birth was no ordinary child, but a creature that defied every law of nature and sanity. Before the horrified eyes of the Leeds family, the infant underwent a transformation so violent and complete that it became something altogether inhuman. With a horse-like head, leathery wings, burning red eyes, and an intelligence both ancient and malevolent, the Jersey Devil was born into a world unprepared for its terrible presence.Our tale follows the creature's first night of freedom as it discovered the intoxicating rush of inspiring fear itself. The Jersey Devil's early encounters with isolated farming families like the Whitmores revealed not just a monster, but an entity that could think, plan, and choose to be cruel with calculating precision. These weren't random acts of violence, but carefully orchestrated campaigns of terror designed to feed on the very essence of human fear. As word of the creature's rampage spread through the Pine Barrens, colonial authorities took notice.Captain Jeremiah Stockton's military expedition into the forest resulted in a confrontation that demonstrated the Jersey Devil's power to reshape reality itself, turning the very environment into a weapon against those who would challenge its dominion. The creature's victory over organized opposition established it not merely as a local threat, but as a force that could defy the authority of kings and governors.The Jersey Devil's influence expanded beyond simple terrorism as it learned to manipulate the psychological landscape of entire communities.The fishing village of Tuckerton became the stage for a supernatural siege that tested the limits of human faith against otherworldly malice. When the creature made its dramatic appearance in the village church, it sought to destroy not just bodies but souls, exposing the secret sins and hidden shames of the congregation.Yet in this confrontation, the Jersey Devil encountered something unexpected—resistance that could not be overcome through terror alone. The simple faith of ordinary people, led by the courage of an elderly sexton named Samuel Hartwell, proved that even the darkest powers had limits. This defeat marked a turning point in the creature's understanding of its own nature and the true complexity of human resistance.Driven by rage and a hunger for revenge, the Jersey Devil employed more subtle methods of warfare, infiltrating the dreams and subconscious minds of Tuckerton's residents. Through sustained psychological pressure, it accomplished what brute force could not, turning the community against itself until neighbor betrayed neighbor and the bonds of trust dissolved into paranoia and violence. The destruction of Tuckerton demonstrated that even the strongest faith could be eroded by doubt, fear, and the gradual corruption of human relationships.Our exploration extends beyond the creature's origins to trace how the Jersey Devil legend evolved through American history. From academic investigations by colonial scholars to mass sightings during the famous "Phenomenal Week" of 1909, the creature adapted to changing times while maintaining its essential mystery. Environmental challenges, industrial development, and modern skepticism all shaped how each generation encountered and interpreted the legend.The Jersey Devil's story reveals deeper truths about the nature of folklore and its function in human society. In an age of increasing scientific understanding and technological advancement, the creature represents something more profound than simple superstition. It embodies the enduring human need for mystery, the recognition that some experiences transcend rational explanation, and the acknowledgment that there are still places in the world where the known and unknown coexist in uneasy tension.The Pine Barrens themselves remain largely unchanged despite centuries of human habitation, their ancient forests still holding secrets that may never be fully revealed. Whether the phenomena reported by travelers represent encounters with the Jersey Devil itself or manifestations of collective expectation and cultural memory is perhaps less important than their continued occurrence. The legend persists because it serves essential functions that transcend entertainment or historical curiosity.Tonight's tale reminds us that the most powerful stories are often those that can never be definitively proven true or false. The Jersey Devil stands as a testament to the enduring power of the unexplained, a bridge between older ways of understanding the world and our modern attempts to categorize and quantify every aspect of existence. In a universe that science seeks to map with ever-increasing precision, some truths remain forever beyond the reach of equations and databases.As we conclude this journey into the heart of American supernatural folklore, remember that the Jersey Devil continues to soar through the darkness on leathery wings, its red eyes burning like coals in the infinite night.The legend lives on, waiting in the depths of the Pine Barrens for the next traveler brave enough to venture into its domain and discover whether it represents merely a story told to frighten children, or something far more profound and dangerous than any rational mind dares to consider .The thirteenth child of Mother Leeds has achieved an immortality that transcends the physical world, dwelling forever in the realm of imagination where it will continue to evolve for as long as human beings gather to share tales of the wonderful and terrible things that lurk just beyond the edges of our understanding.

In this gripping and unnerving episode, Brian shares a story from a 63-year-old. A lifelong resident of rural Louisiana, who recounts a chilling chapter from his childhood that has haunted him ever since. The summer of 1972, when he was just ten, brought an unimaginable horror to his small community outside Marksville—a season when an unknown predator seemed to rise from the swamps and target the people living on the fringes of civilization. What began as bizarre livestock mutilations—a few chickens torn apart, their wire enclosures twisted unnaturally—soon spiraled into a full-blown crisis. Massive, unidentifiable tracks appeared in the muddy soil around the Thibodaux property. A 200-pound pig was found hurled against a barn wall with such force that the wood splintered. This was no ordinary animal. It was calculating, deliberate, and disturbingly intelligent. As the weeks passed, the phenomenon spread. Families miles apart began reporting similar attacks. Glowing yellow and red eyes were seen watching from the woods. At night, strange sounds echoed through the darkness: baby cries that weren’t human, voices of loved ones long dead. Even hardened hunters were shaken. The Broussard family's German Shepherd, Rex, a dog known for his fierce loyalty and fearlessness, was found cowering, irreparably broken by whatever he had witnessed.The entire community was on edge. People began sleeping with weapons close at hand. Parents refused to let their children play outside. Marie Landry was followed for half a mile by an unseen presence on her walk home from church. The Thibodaux twins, Bobby included, heard the unmistakable voice of their deceased grandmother calling to them from the treeline. Sleep became a rare luxury for children too afraid to close their eyes.Then came the disappearance of Boudreaux Tate, a seasoned hunter who had gone out to track the creature. His camp was found abandoned, signs of a violent struggle left in the dirt.His body was never recovered. Fear turned to panic.In the end, seven men from the community, pushed to their limits, armed themselves and headed deep into the swamps. What they found defied logic—an eight-foot-tall bipedal creature with wolf-like features and disturbingly human hands, hiding in a remote cave system. A violent confrontation ensued. The men returned with no trophy, no photographs—only their word and a promise that the creature was buried where it fell. His story is more than just a tale of terror—it’s a portrait of a community grappling with something it couldn’t understand, something that left lasting scars on everyone who survived that haunted summer. This is an  unforgettable firsthand account of survival, mystery, and the darkness that once stalked the Louisiana bayou.

Before there was Bigfoot, before the screams in the woods and things that go bump in the night… there was history. In this special episode, Brian shares a sneak peek into his brand-new podcast, Disturbing History—a show that explores the dark, strange, and forgotten corners of our past. From government coverups to lost civilizations, haunted obsessions to unexplained crashes, Disturbing History is where the stories they hoped we’d forget finally get unearthed. And as a little holiday bonus, Brian is sharing one of the most talked-about episodes from the new series—The Roswell UFO Mystery.On July 8, 1947, the U.S. military made an explosive claim: they had recovered a “flying disc” from a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. Hours later, they took it all back. What followed was decades of silence, contradiction, and coverup.This episode explores:The discovery of strange debris by rancher Mac BrazelThe military’s original press release—and sudden retractionTestimony from Major Jesse Marcel, who broke the silenceEyewitness reports of unusual wreckage, sealed caskets, and bodiesThe evolution of the official story—from weather balloon to Project MogulAnd the lingering questions no one has fully answeredIf you enjoy strange truths, historical mysteries, and stories that blur the line between fact and folklore, you're going to love Disturbing History.📲 Click the link Listen To Disturbing History to listen to more episodes.Follow.

National Park Nightmares – Volume 11: “The Vanished” In this episode, we examine two disappearances—separated by 78 years—that continue to confound families, search teams, and anyone who tries to make sense of what happened.It was a typical summer day in the Colorado wilderness when 4-year-old Alfred Beilhartz disappeared during a family outing. He was walking just behind his parents along a trail near a stream—then suddenly, he wasn’t. What followed was one of the first large-scale search efforts in the park’s history, involving over 150 people, bloodhounds, and aerial surveillance. But no trace of Alfred was ever found. Witnesses later reported seeing a boy matching his description on a remote cliffside ledge. Searchers scrambled to reach the spot—only to find nothing. No boy. No tracks. No clues. Just silence.Floyd Roberts wasn’t a first-timer in the canyon. His connection to the place stretched back to 1992, when his friend Ned Bryant first invited him out. Roberts became a devoted hiker, returning year after year with Bryant. By 2016, the two were seasoned and well-prepared, setting out once again—this time with Bryant’s daughter along for the trip. On June 17th, deep in the remote Kelly Tanks area, the trio chose to split momentarily: the Bryants taking a route over a hill before the trailhead, Roberts choosing to walk around it and meet them on the other side. He never arrived. The Bryants waited, circled back the way Roberts went, then returned to camp and marked the area with visible gear to guide him. Still, nothing. This wasn’t a man likely to panic or get lost. Roberts was highly intelligent—he’d worked at NASA and taught programming and game design. He had food, water, and a map marked with their routes. But after six days of searching with helicopters, drones, and canine units—no sign. No gear. No footprints. No remains. Despite the unforgiving terrain and triple-digit heat, Roberts’ experience and preparation should have given him a fighting chance. And yet, five years have passed, countless hikers have passed through the region, and not a single clue has surfaced. Why did Floyd veer off alone? Why couldn’t the others hear a call for help if something went wrong just on the other side of a hill? And how does someone—someone this equipped, this smart, this familiar with the terrain—vanish without leaving behind a trace?🔦 Two cases. Two different centuries. Two national parks. No answers.

On October 20, 1967, two cowboys rode into a remote California creek bed and emerged with 59.5 seconds of film that would divide science, captivate the world, and spawn a mystery that endures to this day. Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin claimed they encountered and filmed a massive, hair-covered, bipedal creature that would become known as Bigfoot.Their brief, shaky footage—particularly the iconic Frame 352 showing the creature looking back over its shoulder—has become the most analyzed, debated, and controversial piece of film in cryptozoological history.In this deep dive into one of America's most enduring mysteries, we explore the complete story of the Patterson-Gimlin Film. From Roger Patterson's obsessive quest to find Bigfoot to his desperate final expedition when he could least afford it, from the moment of the encounter to the media frenzy that followed, we unravel the human drama behind the footage.We meet Patterson, the dreamer and artist who spent his life chasing shadows in the Pacific Northwest, and Bob Gimlin, the practical horseman who found himself at the center of a controversy he never sought.The narrative takes us through the film's explosive impact on popular culture, the scientific community's struggle to explain or dismiss it, and the decades of analysis that have followed. We examine the compelling evidence that supporters say proves the film's authenticity—from the creature's anatomically consistent proportions to its distinctive compliant gait, from the dermal ridges in its footprints to the muscle movement visible beneath its fur.We also confront the skeptics' arguments—the convenient timing of Patterson's success, the possibility of a sophisticated hoax, and the troubling absence of corroborating physical evidence despite decades of searching.Through exclusive insights into the personal costs borne by both men, we see how the film transformed their lives. Patterson would die just five years later, still defending his footage, while Gimlin would spend decades living with the burden of being either a witness to history or the victim of an elaborate deception. We explore the confessions of alleged hoaxers, the modern digital analysis that has both supported and challenged the film's authenticity, and the psychological reasons why this particular piece of footage continues to captivate us more than half a century later.As we journey from that October afternoon to the present day, we discover that the Patterson-Gimlin Film is more than just potential evidence of an unknown primate. It's a mirror reflecting our relationship with the unknown, our need for mystery in an increasingly mapped world, and our eternal hope that somewhere in the shrinking wilderness, wonders still wait to be discovered.Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or simply curious about one of the great unsolved mysteries of our time, this episode offers the most comprehensive exploration of the film that made Bigfoot a household name and turned a brief encounter at Bluff Creek into an enduring enigma.Join us for a journey into the heart of American folklore, where the line between myth and reality blurs, where two men's afternoon ride became a cultural phenomenon, and where 59.5 seconds of film continue to challenge our understanding of what might be possible in the vast forests of the Pacific Northwest.

In this special 100th episode, we delve into six first-hand accounts from individuals who experienced something extraordinary in the remote forests of the Pacific Northwest.Each story disturbing features encounters with an intelligence that seems to exist at the periphery of our understanding, observing us from the shadows between the trees. What makes these accounts uniquely compelling isn't just what was seen, but the unsettling patterns of behavior described by witnesses from completely different backgrounds and professions. From security guards to scientists, photographers to surveyors, these individuals share a common thread: the deep conviction that something intelligent was studying them with purpose and awareness.We begin with a night security guard at an isolated lumber mill who captures strange footage on security cameras and discovers massive footprints in the morning frost. From there, we hear from a wildlife photographer whose remote campsite becomes the focus of nocturnal investigation during a documentary project in a fire-damaged forest.A veteran logging truck driver shares his face-to-face encounter on a mountain road, while a meteorologist stationed at a remote weather monitoring facility in the North Cascades details weeks of escalating interactions with something that seemed increasingly curious about his equipment and routines.An experienced angler describes how his fishing equipment was methodically rearranged during a backcountry trip, and finally, a land surveyor working in old-growth forest reveals how his survey markers were systematically studied and how he witnessed apparent communication between multiple unknown entities.These aren't typical Bigfoot stories of brief sightings or distant figures. Instead, they document a pattern of intelligence, curiosity, and deliberate interaction that suggests something far more complex than a simple undiscovered animal. No witness ever felt threatened, but all came away with the profound sense that they had been allowed a glimpse into a world that exists alongside our own, watching and waiting in the darkness between the trees.

Tonight we explore two mysterious disappearances in America's most challenging wilderness areas—two men who ventured into remote landscapes and vanished without a trace, leaving behind only questions and abandoned vehicles.Case 1: Walther H. Reinhard - Lost in YosemiteThe Basics:Walther H. ReinhardDisappeared: September 30, 2002Location: Yosemite National Park, CaliforniaNo additional details available in public recordsWhat Happened: On September 30, 2002, Walther H. Reinhard disappeared in Yosemite National Park. Beyond this basic information, details about his case remain limited in publicly available records. Like many who vanish in Yosemite's vast wilderness, Walther simply disappeared, joining the park's long list of unsolved missing person cases.Yosemite encompasses nearly 1,200 square miles of granite cliffs, deep valleys, waterfalls, and wilderness areas. The park's extreme terrain and unpredictable weather conditions make it particularly dangerous for unprepared visitors. From fatal falls to hypothermia, the park's beauty masks significant hazards that have claimed many lives over the decades.Current Status: Case remains unsolved, listed among missing persons cases from America's national parks.Case 2: Adam Clayton Lyle Jones - Vanished at Grand CanyonThe Basics:Adam Clayton Lyle Jones, 23 years oldLast seen: March 31, 2011 (Gulf Breeze, Florida)Car found: May 5, 2011 (Grand Canyon South Rim)5'7", 140 lbs, blue eyes, light brown hairNamUs Case: MP11063The Journey: Adam left Gulf Breeze, Florida on March 31, 2011, in his light blue Oldsmobile Delta 88. He took only his laptop—no cell phone, minimal belongings. His debit card tracked him through Louisiana and Texas before the trail went cold.Over a month later, a park ranger found his abandoned car at Grand Canyon's South Rim Visitor Center. Inside: an itinerary listing Denver and California cities as destinations. Adam was nowhere to be found.The Mystery: His family hadn't reported him missing—they learned of his disappearance when rangers called about the car. Despite extensive searches of trails, viewpoints, and remote areas, no trace of Adam was ever found.Theories:Hiking accident in the canyon's dangerous terrainVoluntary disappearance to start freshFoul play in the park's remote areasEnvironmental hazards unique to the Grand CanyonThe Context: Grand Canyon averages 17 deaths annually and over 1,000 missing person reports. The park's 1.2 million acres can hide evidence indefinitely.Current Status: Cold case with National Park Service after 13 years.The ConnectionBoth cases highlight wilderness disappearances' unique challenges: vast search areas, harsh environments, and landscapes that can conceal evidence forever. For families, these represent ongoing nightmares—the terrible uncertainty of not knowing, the impossible hope that becomes harder to maintain each year.In America's wild places, people can still vanish completely, swallowed by landscapes that predate civilization and care nothing for human presence. Some mysteries may never be solved.

What happens when curiosity becomes obsession—and the wild starts watching back? In this episode, we journey deep into the heart of cryptozoological mystery, where strange creatures aren’t the only things lurking in the dark. From remote mountain ranges to disaster zones veiled in smoke and secrecy, we follow the breadcrumbs left by researchers, explorers, and locals who claim to have seen the impossible—and sometimes paid the price for speaking out.You’ll hear accounts that defy easy explanation: humanoid figures glimpsed in fog-draped valleys, fieldwork that ends in silence and blood, and eerie patterns of vanishing evidence. As the line blurs between folklore and field science, one question echoes through every story: what aren’t we supposed to find out? This isn’t just a tour of cryptid lore—it’s a confrontation with the hidden cost of seeking the truth in places the world forgot. Expect shadowy encounters, vanished research, and the uncomfortable possibility that some legends are protected by more than just disbelief. Because in the world of cryptids, it’s not always the creature you need to fear—it’s what happens after you find it.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AM

In this bone-chilling first-person story, an experienced hunter heads into the remote wilderness, eager to test out his pricey new thermal scope. But what starts as a night of solo adventure quickly spirals into something far more sinister.As he scans the tree line, excitement turns to unease. The forest goes unnaturally still. Something is out there—watching. Then, from the darkness, a voice calls for help. It sounds human, but wrong. Off. And it doesn't match the movements of the shadowy figure now pacing the edge of the clearing.What follows is a heart-pounding chase through pitch-black woods. The hunter, now the hunted, realizes he’s up against something that isn’t bound by the rules of the natural world. When the creature finally steps into the light, the truth is more disturbing than he could have imagined.Even after escaping the forest, the fear doesn’t leave him. Something followed him home—or maybe it never left. This story is a terrifying reminder that deep in the wild, we are not always the apex predator. Sometimes, something out there is watching. And waiting.

National Park Nightmares: "The Vanishing at White Wolf"Peter Jackson was 74 years old the day he disappeared without a trace in Yosemite National Park. A veteran hiker in excellent physical condition, Peter had spent decades exploring America's wilderness areas with methodical precision. He never took unnecessary risks. He never strayed from his planned routes. And he never, ever failed to return when expected.September 17, 2016. Peter sends a simple text to his son: "On my way to Yosemite." It would be the last anyone ever heard from him.He checks into campsite #58 at White Wolf Campground, a remote facility at 8,000 feet elevation, paying for five nights through September 21st. His car, a well-maintained sedan, sits at the edge of a forest of lodgepole pines and white firs. His tent is pitched with military precision. Everything is exactly as it should be. Except Peter packed his royal blue Outdoor Products daypack and set off on what should have been a routine day hike. He never came back.When park rangers conduct their end-of-stay check on September 21st, they find Peter's campsite exactly as he'd left it four days earlier. His car is still parked at the site. His gear is neatly organized. But Peter is gone, and so is his blue backpack.This triggers one of the most extensive search operations in recent Yosemite history. Over 50 personnel from multiple agencies spend nearly two weeks combing through 50 square miles of wilderness. Search dogs follow scent trails that lead nowhere. Helicopters equipped with infrared technology scan dense forest canopy. Ground teams rappel into ravines and search areas so remote they haven't seen human footprints in years. They find nothing. Not a single trace of Peter Jackson.By October 2nd, with autumn storms rolling in and temperatures dropping, the inevitable decision comes. Peter's case is downgraded to "limited continuous" status. The active search ends. Park officials maintain that any new evidence will be followed up on, but the reality sets in for Peter's family: he's simply vanished into the vast wilderness of Yosemite National Park. For nearly three years, Peter Jackson becomes another statistic in Yosemite's growing list of unsolved disappearances. His case joins approximately 30 other active missing persons files, each representing someone who entered the park and never returned. The wilderness keeps its secrets well.Then, in August 2019, a trail maintenance crew working on erosion control in a remote area between Aspen Valley and Smith Peak makes a startling discovery. Hidden under a fallen tree, they find a weathered royal blue backpack. It's Peter Jackson's daypack, confirmed by serial numbers and distinctive wear patterns. But the location makes no sense. The pack was discovered approximately seven to eight miles from White Wolf Campground—far beyond Peter's typical five-mile hiking range. Even following established trails, reaching this spot would require a trek of over ten miles through challenging terrain.The discovery creates more questions than answers. What was Peter doing so far from his campsite? How did an experienced hiker end up in terrain he'd never ventured to before? And perhaps most intriguingly, the pack was found in Ackerson Meadow—an area that had only been officially added to Yosemite National Park in September 2016, the same month Peter disappeared.The formal announcement came just ten days before his final visit. Was Peter attempting to explore this newly protected land?Park rangers immediately organize a detailed search of the area where the backpack was found. For a week, specialized teams scour the terrain using metal detectors, ground-penetrating radar, and search dogs trained to find human remains. They cover two square miles of challenging wilderness, checking every fallen tree, rock crevice, and hidden ravine. They find nothing.The backpack itself yields few clues. It contains the standard gear of a day hiker: a partially empty water bottle, a weathered trail map, a small first aid kit, an emergency whistle, a weatherproof jacket, and several expired energy bars. What's missing speaks volumes—no cell phone, no GPS device, no camera. Nothing that might tell investigators where Peter intended to go or what happened to him.Theories abound but none can fully explain the mystery. Did Peter suffer a sudden medical emergency—a heart attack or stroke—in this remote location, somehow becoming separated from his pack? Did he encounter dangerous terrain, suffering a fatal fall while his pack remained behind? Was he exploring the newly added Ackerson Meadow when something went wrong? Or did environmental factors—sudden weather changes or disorientation—lead to a tragic end?Today, Peter Jackson's case remains open. His disappearance stands as a reminder of the wilderness's enduring mysteries and the limitations of even the most advanced search techniques. Park rangers continue to learn from his case, emphasizing the importance of detailed hiking plans and emergency communication devices. But most of all, Peter's story serves as a sobering reminder that in places of extraordinary beauty lurk equally extraordinary dangers.The last text message Peter sent still haunts those who knew him: "On my way to Yosemite." Three simple words that marked the beginning of a journey with no end, a mystery with no solution, and a wilderness that still keeps its secrets. Somewhere in Yosemite's vast expanse, answers may still lie waiting to be discovered. Until then, the question remains: what happened to Peter Jackson on that September day in 2016?If you have any information about Peter Jackson's disappearance, please contact Yosemite National Park at 209-379-1926 during business hours, or 209-379-1992 after hours. In the wilderness, we are all responsible for each other's safety. Stay aware, stay prepared, and most importantly, let someone know where you're going. Because the difference between a successful hike and a missing persons case can be as simple as a few words shared before you head into the wild.

Tonight I share  five extraordinary encounters with unexplained forest beings across five decades and thousands of miles of American wilderness, told by witnesses who never met yet describe remarkably similar experiences.Olympic Peninsula, Washington - 1968 & 1973 A fire lookout witnesses a massive bipedal creature investigating a log in the remote Olympics. The witness describes intelligence in the being's eyes and the sensation of being observed. Years later, while hunting, he encounters multiple creatures communicating through wood knocks and territory marking with strategically broken trees.Adirondack Mountains, New York - 1976 & 1988 A biology graduate student conducting acid rain research experiences terrifying vocalizations and heavy bipedal footsteps circling her camp. Twelve years later, while camping with her husband, they both witness the same wood-knocking communication and glimpse a large, hair-covered figure—validating her earlier encounter and challenging her scientific understanding.Ozark Mountains, Arkansas - 1985 & 1997 An experienced hunter describes a creature methodically untying a rope supporting their game—showing dexterity and problem-solving unlike any known wildlife. Despite having a clear shot, he chooses not to fire after recognizing intelligence in the creature's eyes. His second encounter while hunting with his teenage son reveals territorial behavior through wood knocks and stone throwing.Great Smoky Mountains, North Carolina - 2002 & 2005 A pastor on a solitary retreat encounters unusual branch arrangements and "offerings." He describes the creatures' apparent response to prayer, adding a spiritual dimension to the encounter. Years later, with his young nephew, they witness coordinated movement around their camp and discover a precisely arranged pile of pinecones topped with a wild strawberry.Humboldt County, California - 2019 & 2022 A wildlife biologist in California's redwood forests provides our most technical account, describing coordinated group behavior, tool use, and possible communication attempts. Her scientific training allows detailed analysis of vocalizations with infrasonic components and footprints suggesting creatures weighing 600-700 pounds moving with bipedal locomotion unlike any known mammal. What makes these accounts compelling is the consistent behavioral patterns described by witnesses separated by thousands of miles and decades: the same wood knocking communication, branch breaking patterns, gift exchanges, and sense of being observed by something intelligent yet non-human.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AM

Tonight week on Backwoods Bigfoot Stories, I share five compelling firsthand accounts from professionals who encountered something unexplained in America's remote wilderness areas.From a National Park ranger in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains to a hunter in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a search and rescue coordinator in Oregon's Cascades to a wildlife photographer in California's redwoods, and finally an environmental scientist in New Hampshire's White Mountains - each witness describes encounters with intelligent, bipedal beings that demonstrated complex communication patterns, territorial awareness, and deliberate avoidance of documentation.Most striking are the consistent elements across these independent accounts: rhythmic wood knocks in three-two-one patterns, gift exchanges, manipulation of human equipment, and apparent concern for lost humans - suggesting something unknown but intelligent shares our most isolated forests.Listen to discover what happens when trained observers with professional reputations at stake encounter something that defies conventional explanation.

Vanished in the Sierra - The Mysterious Disappearances of Sandra Johnsen Hughes and Joel ThomazinIn this haunting eighth installment of National Park Nightmares, we delve into two perplexing disappearances that occurred just fourteen months apart in the rugged wilderness of California's Sierra Nevada mountains. Join your host as we explore the baffling circumstances surrounding Sandra Johnsen Hughes and Joel Thomazin, two experienced outdoor enthusiasts who entered the wilderness and seemingly vanished without a trace.Our journey begins in the summer of 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when 54-year-old Sandra Johnsen Hughes sought solace in the pristine wilderness of Sierra National Forest. A former Hawaii resident with college training as a park ranger, Sandra was no novice to the outdoors. We trace her final known movements from her last contact with family on June 26th through the mysterious discovery of her abandoned campsite on July 2nd—found in complete disarray, a state that contradicted her meticulously organized nature. The mystery deepens as we examine the puzzling sequence of events: her silver Saab crashed at suspiciously low speed, a barefoot sighting with an unexplained bruise on her face, her sleeping bag discovered miles away just inside Yosemite National Park's boundary, and the most baffling element—a reported sighting by hunters over a month after her disappearance. Could Sandra have survived alone in the wilderness for weeks without supplies? And what are we to make of the eerie account from a three-year-old boy who, a year later, claimed to see a woman matching Sandra's description lying face down in a meadow, insisting she was "already dead"?Our episode continues with 31-year-old Joel Thomazin, a U.S. Army reservist and father to a two-year-old son, who set out on what should have been a routine solo hiking and fishing trip in September 2021. With his distinctive bright red inflatable kayak and vintage 1918 Army steel cup, Joel planned a straightforward route from Hetch Hetchy Reservoir to Lake Eleanor—a journey of approximately nine miles each way.Last seen by a park ranger on the afternoon of September 6th crossing above O'Shaughnessy Dam, Joel never returned on his scheduled date of September 9th. Despite extensive searches involving teams from multiple agencies, not a single trace of Joel or his distinctive equipment was ever found. We share the heartbreaking words of his wife Amanda, who asked for prayers that Joel would know "he is not alone out there," and examine the painful reality of how families cope with ambiguous loss when no closure is possible.As we conclude this episode, we reflect on the cruel paradox of these cases—how the very wilderness that draws us with its beauty and promise of solitude can also swallow us without witness or explanation. The disappearances of Sandra Johnsen Hughes and Joel Thomazin remain unsolved, joining over thirty cold cases in Yosemite's troubling history. Whether their fates were sealed by tragic accidents, deliberate choices, foul play, or something more mysterious, their stories remind us of the wilderness's power and our ultimate vulnerability within it.If you have any information about either of these cases, please contact the Madera County Sheriff's Office at (559) 675-7770 regarding Sandra Johnsen Hughes or Yosemite Search and Rescue at (209) 238-7046 regarding Joel Thomazin.

Step into the ancient forests of the Olympic Mountains as we present a riveting first-person account that will challenge everything you thought you knew about the natural world. In this episode, we follow Mike Calloway, an experienced hunter whose annual elk hunting trip with his father transforms into something extraordinary—an encounter with an intelligence not recognized by science.Mike's journey begins with the familiar ritual of preparation—checking gear, studying maps, and making the long drive into increasingly remote territory.Having hunted these woods for fifteen years alongside his father Jack, a former Forest Service ranger, Mike knows the Olympic Peninsula intimately. Or at least, he thought he did.Their hunt starts routinely enough, with father and son separating at first light to cover more ground. It's during Mike's solitary trek along a promising ridge that the familiar rhythms of the forest are broken by something unexpected—three distinct knocks against wood, delivered with unmistakable purpose. What follows draws Mike deeper into the wilderness, the knocking seemingly tracking his movements, responding to his presence in ways that defy natural explanation.The culmination of this strange pursuit is a moment that will forever divide Mike's life into before and after: face-to-face with a creature standing eight feet tall, covered in reddish-brown hair, with hands—not paws—and eyes conveying an intelligence that stops his breath. Most astonishing is the deliberate communication, as the creature demonstrates it has been the source of the knocking, even responding to Mike's own tentative attempt at reply.That night brings even greater wonders and terrors when multiple creatures surround their camp, communicating through complex knocking patterns and haunting vocalizations that echo through the mountains.Objects are tossed into their campsite—not as threats, but seemingly as attempts at interaction. By morning, both Mike and his father have glimpsed something that shouldn't exist, something that challenges their understanding of reality itself. The aftermath of this encounter plunges Mike into a crisis of understanding. He tries drinking it away at first, then turns to obsessive research, finding reports of similar experiences spanning decades. A conversation with his father brings partial comfort—at least they share the burden of knowing—but no real answers. The world is bigger, stranger, more mysterious than they've been taught, and perhaps that's not such a terrible thing to discover.Months later, drawn by an irresistible need for understanding, Mike returns to the forest alone. This time, he brings not weapons but tools for communication—recording equipment, and small gifts that might interest creatures possessing obvious intelligence but no exposure to human technology. Over three days, he establishes increasingly complex communication through knocking patterns and receives an extraordinary response—his offered mirror is taken, replaced with a piece of bark polished to create a reflective surface, evidence of tool use and symbolic thinking that transcends mere animal behavior.he story culminates in a deeply personal decision. After witnessing his son's transformation and unable to fully rationalize their shared experience, Mike's father joins him on subsequent trips to the forest. Together over three years, they forge a fragile connection with these beings, learning enough of their percussive language to announce their presence and convey peaceful intentions. They choose to keep their discovery private, protecting these creatures from a world that would inevitably seek to study, categorize, and perhaps destroy what it cannot understand. This profound narrative invites us to consider what other intelligences might share our planet, moving silently at the edges of our awareness, and what responsibilities come with such knowledge. As Mike and his father continue their twice-yearly pilgrimages into the ancient woods, they carry a secret that has fundamentally changed them—a glimpse behind the veil of what we think we know about the world, and the humbling recognition that we are not alone.

In this week's bone-chilling episode, we explore a multi-generational encounter with the unknown deep in the backwoods of Limestone County, Alabama. Our story follows young James Earl Wilkins, who at age 12 in the summer of 1976, experienced a series of terrifying encounters with what locals referred to as "the forest folk" or "wild men" on his family's 80-acre farm.The saga unfolds through James' now 62-year-old perspective as he recounts how his peaceful rural childhood was forever changed when strange howls began echoing from the nearby Cypress Bottom—a foreboding stretch of swampland that locals had long avoided. What began with missing livestock escalated to face-to-face encounters with towering, fur-covered creatures that seemed to possess an uncanny intelligence. His story continues as the family's increasing terror as these beings grew bolder—stealing chickens, appearing at windows in the night, and eventually prompting a community hunting expedition that ended in unexpected confrontation. Most disturbing are the implications that these weren't random encounters, but part of a long-standing and complex relationship between the creatures and the Wilkins family dating back generations.He also explains that historical connections revealed through family stories and county records—including a shocking encounter his grandfather had in the 1930s, and a mysterious clause in the original 1868 property deed requiring seasonal offerings to "previous inhabitants of the land." These revelations suggest an ancient pact that was broken and later unconsciously renewed through his father's annual ritual of leaving deer carcasses at the forest's edge. If you've had an experince and would like to share it on the show email brian@paranormalworldproductions.com

On April 12, 1966, a family picnic in America's first national park turned into one of the most baffling missing persons cases in American history. Eight-year-old Dennis Johnson was visiting Yellowstone with his parents William and Betty and his three sisters when his seven-year-old sister Mary wandered off. Dennis and his father split up to search for her. William found Mary quickly, but when he returned to the Cascade Picnic Area, Dennis had vanished without a trace.What followed was one of the most intensive search operations in Yellowstone's history – spanning 100 square miles, employing helicopters, bloodhounds, and dozens of searchers. Despite three weeks of exhaustive efforts costing over $14,000 (equivalent to more than $100,000 today), not a single clue was found. No footprints. No clothing. No evidence whatsoever. Fifty-eight years later, Dennis Johnson remains missing, his fate unknown.In This EpisodeThe detailed timeline of April 12, 1966, and how a moment's separation led to decades of mysteryWhy the search for Dennis was particularly challenging, and the technical aspects of a 1960s-era wilderness searchThe baffling behavior of bloodhounds that couldn't pick up any scent trailFive leading theories of what might have happened to Dennis, and why none can fully explain his complete disappearanceHow the Johnson family turned to a psychic in their desperate search for answersWhat makes wilderness disappearances unique, and the concept of "ambiguous loss"The statistical context: how rare cases like Dennis's are compared to millions of safe Yellowstone visitsHow the case has informed modern search and rescue techniques and park safety protocols

Tonight, Brian shares the never-before-told story of Thomas, a fur trapper whose life was forever changed after a terrifying encounter with sasquatch in the remote Canadian wilderness during February 1987.This first-hand account challenges everything we think we know about these mysterious creatures. What Mercer experienced reveals them to be intelligent, communicative, and potentially dangerous beings with complex social structures and territorial behaviors. His haunting experience raises profound questions about what these creatures truly are and our responsibility toward them.The story begins as Thomas, a third-generation fur trapper, flies his bush plane to his remote family cabin in the Northwest Territories to begin his winter trapping season. Almost immediately upon arrival, Mercer discovers massive, human-like footprints circling his cabin—nearly 20 inches long with a stride length twice that of a human.Over the following days, Mercer encounters increasingly bizarre evidence: traps carefully disarmed with ritualistic arrangements of objects nearby, complex vocal communications between multiple creatures echoing through the forest, and deliberate attempts to test his cabin's defenses through systematic tapping and probing of the structure.Most chilling of all, the creatures attempt direct communication.First through arrangements of natural objects in geometric patterns, then through mimicked human speech—even speaking Mercer's name and referring to his deceased father. In broken English, they suggest they need an "alliance" against other humans hunting them, hinting at a government or private organization aware of their existence.When Mercer attempts to escape in his plane, he's forced to shoot one of the creatures that charges him from behind. In a moment that has haunted him for decades, the wounded sasquatch looks him in the eye and asks simply, "Why?"In the thirty years since this encounter, Mercer has dedicated his life to sasquatch research, building one of the most comprehensive private databases of encounters in North America.Through his research, he discovered another harrowing account from the Olympic Peninsula, where a logging crew's encounter ended in a gruesome death—evidence that these beings aren't always the gentle forest giants of popular imagination.We should note that this episode contains descriptions of violence and disturbing content that may not be suitable for all listeners. Discretion is advised.Thomas Mercer, whose name has been changed at his request, was 25 years old during his encounter in 1987. Now in his sixties, he's spent decades researching similar encounters while maintaining his anonymity. This marks the first time he's shared his complete story publicly.

In this episode, Brian shares encounters with mysterious creatures and unexplained phenomena from remote wilderness areas. From Whisper Creek in Montana's Glacier National Park, Iron Ridge ghost town, and Dead Man's Hollow in Kentucky to Black Hollow and Widow's Crag, each story recounts experiences with eerie sounds, inexplicable footprints, and terrifying sightings of Bigfoot-like creatures. These tales serve as haunting reminders that some places are meant to be left alone and that not everyone who ventures into the unknown makes it back the same.

In today's special storytelling episode, I'm thrilled to share an original tale I've created called "The Unlikely Guardians:  Bigfoot Saves Easter. This heartwarming adventure follows Bartholomew, the last Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest, whose carefully isolated life is upended when he discovers a set of unusual footprints in the late winter snow. Following them leads to an encounter with none other than Edmund Cottontail, the Easter Bunny himself, who is in desperate need of help. The magical Egg of Renewal has been stolen by Jack Frost, threatening to trap the world in endless winter and prevent Easter from happening at all.What follows is a journey across magical landscapes as these natural opposites—a reclusive wilderness dweller and the embodiment of spring celebration—form an unlikely alliance. Their adventure takes them through ancient forests, across frozen plains, and eventually to the edge of reality itself as they confront not just Jack Frost but the shadowy powers manipulating him. Throughout their quest, Bart and Edmund discover that their differences actually create a perfect harmony when combined with Jack's winter magic, forming a balanced force capable of restoring nature's cycles.The story explores how friendship can emerge in the most unexpected places, and how the balance between wilderness, winter, and renewal is essential for the natural world to flourish. We witness Bart's transformation from a solitary observer who has hidden from the world for centuries into someone who finds purpose in connection and community. It's a modern fairy tale about how isolation ends when we open ourselves to new possibilities and how seemingly opposite forces can unite for a greater purpose.

In this haunting episode, we delve into one of Yellowstone National Park's most perplexing cold cases — the 1991 disappearance of Dan Campbell and his loyal dog Freckles. Our journey begins with Dan Campbell, a 42-year-old Montana man whose life had reached a crossroads by the spring of 1991. Living in Big Timber and struggling with mounting financial troubles, Campbell was looking for a way out. Standing 5'8" and weighing about 165 pounds, with the weathered face of someone comfortable in the outdoors, he had recently begun making plans to relocate to White Sulphur Springs, but needed money to finance the move.According to his brother Billy, Dan had started "running with some pretty shady characters" who introduced him to the lucrative world of illegal shed hunting — a dangerous underground economy that would ultimately lead to his disappearance.The dark underbelly of shed hunting in Yellowstone had evolved into what insiders called "the antler wars" by the early 1990s. With elk antlers selling for up to $15 per pound on the black market, what began as an innocent springtime hobby had transformed into a fiercely competitive criminal enterprise. Reports from the time suggest that certain areas of the park had been carved up into informal territories by competing groups of poachers, some allegedly carrying semiautomatic weapons to guard their claimed hunting grounds. Into this dangerous world stepped Dan Campbell, desperately seeking quick cash.On April 4, 1991, Campbell set off with his Australian shepherd-heeler mix named Freckles from the Hellroaring trailhead, planning a four-day trek to exit near Jardine, Montana, where his girlfriend Tracy Erb would pick him up on April 8. Dressed in blue Levi's jeans and a blue coat, he carried basic survival supplies in his backpack, along with the expectation of returning with valuable shed antlers. What he couldn't have anticipated was the treacherous journey that awaited him.The Hellroaring Trail itself presents a formidable challenge even to experienced hikers. Beginning with a steep 600-foot descent over switchbacks to reach a suspension bridge spanning the Yellowstone River, the trail then traverses an expansive sagebrush plateau before dropping down to Hellroaring Creek. As Campbell navigated this difficult terrain, a powerful spring storm moved in on April 5th, dumping up to a foot of fresh snow across portions of the park and sending temperatures plummeting.This sudden weather change would not only challenge Campbell's wilderness skills but would later severely hamper search efforts.When April 8 arrived with no sign of Campbell at the designated pickup location, Tracy Erb reported him missing. Park rangers immediately launched what's known in search and rescue terminology as a "bastard search" — checking obvious locations to confirm he wasn't simply elsewhere — before initiating a full-scale operation. Ground teams and, when weather permitted, aerial search units scoured Campbell's planned route, battling the aftermath of the snowstorm that had left up to a foot of fresh snow obscuring any tracks or evidence.Despite weeks of intensive searching across multiple locations, not a single trace of Campbell or his dog was ever found — no backpack, no clothing, no equipment, and perhaps most tellingly, not even Freckles.This complete absence of evidence pushed Campbell's brothers to consider darker possibilities. As the search transitioned to an investigation, Rod and Bill Campbell, along with their third brother, transformed from grieving family members into relentless advocates. Bill's own investigation uncovered that there had reportedly been 14 other horn hunters in the area on the day Dan went missing, and one of them claimed to have heard two gunshots. This discovery aligned with the family's growing suspicion that Dan had been murdered by rival shed hunters protecting their territory. The Campbell brothers' frustration with official efforts peaked in July 1991 when they filed a lawsuit against Park County Montana Sheriff Charlie Johnson, seeking $100,000 each for what they claimed was a botched investigation. They were particularly outraged by the sheriff's decision to return potential evidence — ammunition and spent cartridges confiscated from two horn hunters legally camping outside the park's northern boundaries — without subjecting these items to forensic testing. "If Dan's in the park, he's buried," Rod Campbell told reporters, reflecting their conviction that their brother met with foul play rather than a wilderness accident.As investigators weighed the evidence, three main theories emerged about Campbell's fate. The natural causes theory suggested he might have succumbed to hypothermia during the snowstorm, suffered a fatal injury on the rugged terrain, or encountered a grizzly bear emerging hungry from hibernation. The voluntary disappearance theory, which law enforcement initially considered due to Campbell's financial troubles, proposed that he might have staged his own disappearance to escape mounting debts. The foul play theory, championed by Campbell's family, posited that he had been murdered by rival shed hunters, with the snowstorm providing ideal cover for the crime and hampering subsequent searches.Each theory had strengths and weaknesses. The natural causes explanation failed to account for the complete absence of any trace, including the dog. The voluntary disappearance scenario seemed unlikely given Campbell's attachment to Freckles and his concrete plans for the future.The foul play theory addressed many puzzling aspects of the case but lacked definitive evidence. This ambiguity has allowed the mystery to persist for more than three decades, making it one of Yellowstone's most enduring cold cases.Today, Campbell's disappearance stands as a sobering reminder of both the wilderness dangers and human hazards that persist in Yellowstone. The illegal shed antler trade continues, with recent cases demonstrating its evolution and the ongoing risks it presents. In 2023, an Idaho man was charged with attempting to transport and sell more than 1,000 pounds of poached antlers valued at approximately $18,000, resulting in substantial fines and a hunting ban. While regulations have tightened and enforcement has improved since Campbell's day, the fundamental dynamics that may have contributed to his disappearance remain: valuable natural resources, limited oversight capacity, and the human willingness to risk legal penalties for financial gain.For those who venture into Yellowstone's backcountry today, Campbell's story serves as a haunting reminder that beneath the park's spectacular beauty lies a landscape that can still harbor both natural perils and human darkness. As we conclude our exploration of this mysterious disappearance, we're left with the same questions that have troubled investigators and family members for decades: What really happened to Dan Campbell and Freckles on that April journey in 1991? And will we ever know the truth?Our research for this episode draws on extensive sources, including original search and rescue reports, interviews with former park rangers, newspaper archives from the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, Freedom of Information Act documents released by the Department of Interior, Campbell family statements, and expert analysis on Yellowstone terrain, weather patterns, and wildlife behavior. Yet despite this wealth of information, Dan Campbell's fate remains one of the park's most persistent mysteries — a story that continues to fascinate and disturb more than thirty years after he vanished without a trace.

In this chilling episode, we dive deep into the mysterious Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, where moonshine and monsters collide in a story that spans generations. Join us as we unravel the tale of Jim, a master moonshiner whose knowledge of the mountains led to prosperity—and ultimately, his mysterious disappearance in 1972.This haunting narrative, told from the perspective of his grandson, explores how Jim used the feared presence of Sasquatch creatures to keep revenue agents and competitors away from his illegal stills in an area locals called "Booger Holler." But as we'll discover, nature always collects its debts, and some territories should never be trespassed—no matter how profitable they might be.This haunting tale explores themes of territory, respect for nature, and the price of hubris. The Appalachian Mountains have long been home to tales of strange creatures and unexplained phenomena, with "Booger" being a common mountain term for ghost or monster. While science may not acknowledge the existence of Sasquatch, many mountain communities have their own stories of encounters with something not quite human that protects the deepest, most isolated hollows.Moonshining itself has a rich history in the Appalachians, where distilling skills were passed down through generations and became both an economic necessity and a point of cultural pride for many families. The tension between moonshiners and "revenuers" (federal agents) created a perfect environment for legends to thrive—especially those that kept strangers away from secret still locations.Listener DiscretionThis episode contains descriptions of implied violence and intense situations that may not be suitable for younger listeners. While not graphically depicted, the story suggests the fate of those who venture too far into territories they aren't welcome in.What did you think of this episode?

In this bone-chilling episode of "Into the Unknown," Brian narrates the extraordinary firsthand account of a man who survived multiple encounters with Sasquatch in the remote Alaskan wilderness. Brian brings to life the story of a former architect who abandoned city life in Anchorage to build his dream home on a hundred-acre property in the Kenai Peninsula, only to discover he had unwittingly entered territory claimed by creatures most believe exist only in legend. Through meticulous research and exclusive interviews with the survivor, Brian reconstructs this harrowing tale of territorial conflict and survival. Listeners will hear how the man's experience began with mysterious knocking sounds in the forest and quickly escalated to an orchestrated campaign of intimidation—rocks hurled at his trailer, destruction of construction equipment, and ultimately, coordinated attacks by multiple Sasquatch displaying disturbing levels of intelligence and strategic thinking. The narrative details the physical characteristics of these massive bipedal beings, their communication methods, and their apparent ability to remember specific humans and hold grudges against those who intrude on their territory. The survivor's account of narrowly escaping death during a night-long siege provides some of the most credible and detailed testimony ever documented about Sasquatch behavior. This hidden conflict has remained largely unknown to the public due to skepticism, misclassification of deaths as wilderness accidents, and potentially even governmental reluctance to acknowledge the existence of another intelligent species with territorial claims to North American lands. The episode concludes with sobering reflections on what these encounters suggest about humanity's place in the wilderness—that in certain remote regions, we may not be the apex predators we believe ourselves to be, but rather intruders in territories long claimed by something more ancient and unwilling to share. Whether you're fascinated by cryptid phenomena or a committed skeptic, this meticulously researched account will make you reconsider what might really be watching from the shadows when you venture into the deep wilderness. Content warning: This episode contains descriptions of violence and situations that some listeners may find disturbing.

Deep in the shadows of Mount St. Helens, five gold prospectors experienced a night of terror that would forever mark their lives and give birth to one of America's most enduring wilderness mysteries.In this episode, we transport you to July 1924, when Fred Beck, the steady leader of a small mining operation, fired three shots at a strange, towering figure glimpsed across a canyon. Little did he know that as darkness fell, his cabin would become a fortress under siege.Join us as we follow Fred, Gabe Lefever, John Peterson, Marion Smith, and his son Roy through their harrowing ordeal—rocks and massive objects raining down on their roof, glimpses of seven-foot creatures moving through moonlit shadows, and the heart-stopping moment when a massive, hair-covered arm reached through their window.As dawn broke over Mount St. Helens, the men discovered fourteen-inch footprints surrounding their cabin, evidence of something science couldn't explain.Their story would reach The Oregonian newspaper under the headline "Ape Men Sought," and a remote gorge would forever be known as "Ape Canyon. "Ninety-nine years later, we examine what really happened during that midsummer night and why Fred Beck maintained the truth of their encounter until his death, insisting they had confronted something unknown in the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest.Share your own wilderness encounter: brian@paranormalworldproductions.com

This week, we journey into the heart of two of America's most magnificent national parks to unravel mysteries that have confounded investigators for decades. Two young men, four years apart, both vanished without a trace while hiking alone on well-established trails. Their disappearances share disturbing similarities that suggest these weren't simply cases of lost hikers, but perhaps something far more inexplicable.The Story of Timothy Barnes takes us to the crystalline waters of Tenaya Lake in Yosemite National Park. On July 5, 1988, 25-year-old Timothy "Tim" Barnes set out on what should have been a routine day hike. Standing 6'3" with shoulder-length dark brown hair, Tim was an experienced outdoorsman who had hiked Yosemite's trails many times before.At 9:00 AM, he was spotted by a family from Michigan, walking north from the Murphy Creek Trailhead toward Poly Domes. Tim exchanged pleasant greetings with them, appearing relaxed and confident in his white t-shirt with a distinctive red anti-fascism symbol, gray sweatpants, and yellow daypack. This would be the last confirmed sighting of Timothy Barnes. When Tim failed to return, one of the most comprehensive search operations in Yosemite's history was launched. For weeks, professional search and rescue teams with trained dogs scoured the landscape. Helicopters swept the terrain from above while technical climbing teams explored every crevice of the granite domes.Yet they found nothing. No backpack, no clothing, no signs of struggle or injury. Tim had seemingly evaporated into the wilderness.As we explore in this episode, the Barnes case is riddled with bizarre elements that defy conventional explanation:Search dogs exhibited unusual behavior, becoming agitated and confused in certain areasMultiple hikers reported compass malfunctions and static electricity phenomena on the day Tim disappearedTwo search teams heard what sounded like distant calls for help coming from areas that had already been thoroughly searchedHikers described strange, localized fog banks that formed and dissipated rapidly against prevailing windsThree months after his disappearance, a fragment of yellow fabric resembling Tim's backpack was discovered in an area that had been meticulously searched multiple timesPerhaps most chilling were the revelations from Tim's mother that in the weeks before his hike, Tim had experienced unusually vivid dreams about being lost in a landscape where "the geography kept shifting" and had developed a sudden, intense interest in the geological formations of Poly Domes.The David Morrison mystery then takes us to the spectacular alpine scenery of Glacier National Park, Montana. On October 12, 1992, 26-year-old David Morrison parked his rental car at Logan Pass Visitor Center and began hiking the famous Highline Trail. Like Timothy Barnes, Morrison was physically fit, experienced in wilderness navigation, and hiking alone. He had checked in with rangers that morning and planned to return before sunset. He, too, would never be seen again.The parallels between the Morrison and Barnes cases are uncanny:Both men were in their mid-twenties with athletic buildsBoth disappeared in the morning hours from well-marked trailsBoth had clearly intended to return the same dayBoth cases featured a complete absence of physical evidence despite extensive searchesBoth searches encountered unexplained phenomena with search dogsBoth disappearances coincided with reports of unusual, localized weather anomaliesThe most perplexing development came thirteen months after Morrison's disappearance, when a distinctive pendant he had been wearing was discovered by a hiker on a trail more than twelve miles from his last known location—an area that had been thoroughly searched during the initial investigation.The Unsettling PatternIn this episode, I delve into how these cases connect to a larger pattern of similar disappearances across North America's wilderness areas. We examine:The profile of those who vanish—predominantly young, physically fit menThe geographical clustering of these incidents in certain national parks and wilderness areasThe consistent lack of physical evidence despite modern search techniquesThe repeated reports of unusual weather phenomena, equipment malfunctions, and strange behavior of search animalsWhile this episode explores the strange circumstances surrounding these disappearances, it also serves as a reminder of the very real dangers of solo hiking. We discuss:The importance of filing detailed hiking plans with park rangers or trusted contactsWhy carrying emergency communication devices can be lifesavingHow to prepare for unexpected weather changes in alpine environmentsWhy even experienced hikers should approach unfamiliar trails with cautionGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AM

Today, Brian brings you the chilling first-person account of Jack, a former farm owner whose family experienced a series of terrifying encounters with what can only be described as a Dogman.Jack describes how the encounters began with mysterious livestock disappearances and strange predator tracks that were "too big for a wolf, shaped wrong for a bear"The family's increasing terror as the creature progresses from killing animals to stalking their home, including a hair-raising incident where it was seen looking through their 10-year-old son's second-story windowVivid descriptions of the entity: standing 7-8 feet tall with canine features, possessing disturbing intelligence, and displaying unnaturally long limbs with hand-like appendagesThe terrifying escalation when the creature attempts to prevent the family from leaving their property, leading to a violent confrontation on a rural roadThe heartbreaking loss of Bill Thompson, an elderly neighbor who believed in Jack's accounts and ultimately sacrificed himself helping the family escapeThe family's desperate flight across country, only to discover the creature might have abilities beyond what they imagined, including possible shapeshiftingJack's current life in coastal Oregon, where he's connected with others who've had similar experiences and tracks missing persons cases that match the Dogman's hunting patternsLISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED This episode contains graphic descriptions of animal deaths, human injury, and psychological trauma. Not recommended for younger listeners or those sensitive to content involving threats to children.What was the creature's unusual fixation on Jack's son Ethan?Could these entities be interdimensional beings rather than flesh-and-blood creatures?Why do they seem to be increasing in number according to witness accounts?.#DogmanEncounters #CryptidCreatures #SupernaturalSightings #MonstersAreReal

In this episode Brian shares a remarkable story from a man named Dale who had an extraordinary encounter in the North Georgia mountains back in 1983. As teenagers, Dale and his friend Brad embarked on what they thought would be a routine fishing and camping trip down the Chattooga River, only to experience something that would change their lives forever.Episode Highlights:Dale recounts how he and Brad, just 14 years old, set out on a seven-day journey down the Chattooga River in a flat-bottom aluminum boatThe boys' initial encounters with strange sounds and wood knocking that couldn't be explained by known wildlifeThe discovery of massive, unexplainable footprints along the riverbankA terrifying moment when an unknown creature tears apart their steel mesh fish basket to steal their prized catfishMultiple nighttime encounters with what appears to be a group of Sasquatch creaturesHow these beings seemed not to threaten the boys, but rather to warn them away from continuing downstreamDale's reflection on the experience forty years later, and why he and Brad chose to keep their story private until nowDale's firsthand account provides a unique perspective on Sasquatch encounters - not as the menacing creatures often portrayed in popular culture, but as territorial yet protective beings. The story raises fascinating questions about what might exist in the most remote corners of our wilderness and why these creatures might choose to interact with humans in rare circumstances.Whether you're a believer in cryptids or a skeptic, this riveting tale of two boys' unexpected adventure offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the mysteries that may still lurk in our forests.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AM

Welcome back to National Park Nightmares, the podcast that explores real-life disappearances, survival stories, and unexplained events from deep within America's most iconic wilderness areas. In Volume 4, we dive into some of the most chilling—and unforgettable—cases yet. We begin with a rare story of survival. Christy Perry, a seasoned hiker, vanished in Big Bend National Park in Texas in November 2023. For eight days, she endured freezing temperatures, rain, and isolation with no food and only rainwater to drink. Most feared the worst.Then, against all odds, she was found alive. Her story is a reminder that sometimes, hope really does make the difference. But not every story has a happy ending.Next, we explore the mysterious disappearance of Eric Robinson, a veteran adventurer who set out to solo-hike Utah’s High Uintas in 2011—and never made it back. Years passed with no trace until, in 2016, a group of hikers stumbled on his remains in one of the most rugged areas of the park. What happened in those final days remains unclear, but the discovery offered long-awaited answers.Then there’s Morgan Heimer—a young river guide who vanished in broad daylight in the Grand Canyon in 2015. One moment he was assisting guests at the water’s edge… the next, he was gone. No struggle. No sound. No trace.Despite an extensive search, his case remains one of the canyon’s most baffling mysteries.We also revisit the strange disappearance of George Penca, who was hiking with his church group on Yosemite’s popular Upper Yosemite Falls Trail in 2011. It was a busy day, surrounded by people. And yet, George simply disappeared. Search efforts came up empty. The trail gave no clues. And like Morgan, George was just… gone.Michael Ficery’s case takes us deeper into Yosemite’s backcountry. In 2005, the experienced solo backpacker set out from Hetch Hetchy and was never seen again. His backpack was found along a trail—but nothing else. No remains. No other belongings. Just a pack, sitting in silence, in the middle of nowhere.And finally, not every mystery is about a disappearance.In 2005, in Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, 44-year-old Arman B. Johnson was found murdered just off the highway. A single gunshot wound. No suspects. No clear motive. A life taken violently in a place known for its beauty—and still, no justice.Some of the people in this episode came back. Some didn’t. Some are still missing. And in every case, one thing is clear: even in the most beautiful places on earth, the wild doesn’t play by our rules.These stories aren’t just about mystery. They’re about real people. And if you know anything about the cases of Morgan Heimer, George Penca, Michael Ficery, or Arman Johnson, we urge you to contact authorities.

Five people. Five remote regions. Five encounters that leave more questions than answers. In this chilling episode, we dive deep into the raw, first-person accounts of individuals who came face-to-face with something impossible—and survived to tell the story.From a veteran park ranger in Olympic National Park who locked eyes with a towering, silent figure by a remote creek, to a hiker in northern Minnesota who stumbled across an eerie structure and felt something watching from just beyond the trees… these aren't blurry photos or secondhand stories. These are firsthand moments where fear met something real in the woods.We’ll take you through the Blue Ridge Mountains with a seasoned deputy who followed the trail of a missing hunter and found only silence—and massive, barefoot tracks. Then we head into the dense, oppressive swamps of the Florida Everglades, where a wildlife officer encounters stacked stones, peeled trees, and heavy footfalls around his tent.But the episode ends with a story that still gives us chills.An experienced solo hiker heads into the Cascade Mountains for what should’ve been a quiet weekend off the grid. By the third day, the forest falls silent. Claw marks too high for any known animal, giant human-like prints, and a primitive shelter lead to a direct encounter with an eight-foot-tall creature communicating through knocks and strange calls.What follows is a relentless, three-day pursuit—an intelligent, calculated display by multiple creatures working together in the deep woods. And though they had every opportunity to take him, they didn’t. Instead, they left a message: his lost gear, neatly displayed where he couldn’t miss it. A warning. Or maybe… a test.This episode isn’t about belief. It’s about the people who went into the woods and came back changed.

In this gripping episode, we explore four true stories of seasoned hunters whose lives were changed forever deep in the wilderness. These are men who spent their entire lives in the woods, men who knew every sound, every shadow, and every sign the forest had to offer. They were confident, experienced, and prepared for anything—until the day they weren’t.From the dark pine forests of northern Minnesota to the remote wilderness of central Oregon… from the dense hollows of northern Alabama to the endless thickets of East Texas… each of these men came face-to-face with something they couldn’t explain. Something that didn’t belong. Something that took everything they thought they knew about the woods—and shattered it.In these powerful first-hand accounts, you’ll hear:A quiet Minnesota bowhunt turned life-changing encounter.A remote Oregon camping trip that ended with terrifying screams and glowing eyes.A desperate Alabama hunter’s three-day solo trip that became a fight for survival.An East Texas deer hunter’s close encounter that made him hang up his rifle for good.These are stories that will make you question what’s really out there. And by the end, you might just change your tune about what’s possible in the deep, wild places of North America.Seeing is believing.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AM

In this chilling episode of National Park Nightmares, we explore two of the most unsettling disappearances in America’s wild places—stories where the line between accident and something darker blurs beyond recognition.First, we return to 1958 and the shadowy slopes of Mount Meeker in Colorado. Ten-year-old Bobby Bizup vanished from Camp St. Malo, a Catholic boys' camp near Rocky Mountain National Park. Deaf, trusting, and familiar with the camp, Bobby was last seen leaving a fishing spot alone. Despite an exhaustive search, his remains weren’t found until a year later—by a counselor who was also one of the last people to see him alive. Decades later, shocking revelations surfaced: that same counselor, Neil Hewitt, along with other clergy members from the camp, were later exposed as prolific abusers. Federal investigators are now reopening Bobby’s case, fueled by new evidence—including the discovery of Bobby’s missing skull in the possession of a Colorado family tied to the camp’s leadership. What really happened to Bobby Bizup? And why did the people meant to protect him fail him so completely?Then we move to Yosemite National Park, 1981. Fourteen-year-old Stacey Ann Arras disappears during a short walk from Sunrise High Sierra Camp. Last seen standing on a rock near camp, she simply vanished. Despite an intensive search, not a single clue was found. No tracks. No belongings. Nothing. How does a teenager disappear in plain sight on a sunny afternoon? Forty years later, we still don’t have answers.These are stories of innocence lost in America’s most beautiful—and unforgiving—places. Stories where nature’s silence speaks volumes, and where the wilderness may hide more than we can imagine.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMVisit HIMS.COM

In tonight’s episode, we’re heading into the dark corners of the British countryside, where more than a few people have come face to face with something they can’t explain. These aren’t tall tales from deep in the American wilderness. These are stories from people in Scotland, Derbyshire, Oldham… places where folklore runs deep and the forests seem to hold their breath after dark.We start with an eerie pair of encounters near Cairnpapple Hill in the Bathgate Hills of Scotland. A young driver and his friends stumble upon a dark figure racing towards their car. Years later, he returns—only to find that something still waits for him in the snow, following his every move.Next, we travel to the winding Carrick Hills of Ayrshire, where a family drive turns into something much darker. A father, not known for fear, sees something out on the hills he refuses to talk about for the rest of his life. He never takes his family that way again.From there, we move to British Aerospace at Monkton in 1999. A young woman walking alone at dawn sees something that should not exist. Standing seven feet tall, it watches her from just a few meters away, standing on two legs, growling low. After that day, she’s never quite the same—and she never walks alone again.Then we hear the story of a welder in Oldham who decides to work late and sleep overnight at the factory. What follows is a terrifying series of events as he’s stalked through the streets by something that looks more beast than man. He makes it to the train station—but only just.And finally, we share an anonymous email submission from “Paul,” a forestry worker who stayed behind one night near Glen Clova. He thought he was alone—until he realized something was following him through the silent woods. What stepped out of the darkness that night changed him forever.Five stories. Five encounters. And one unsettling possibility: that there’s something ancient and unknown still out there. And it might be closer than you think. Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMVisit HIMS.COM

In the deep, mist-covered swamps of Louisiana and the shadowed bottomlands of Arkansas, something has been seen. Something big. Something wild. And for decades, the stories have haunted locals and fueled whispered warnings: Don’t go out there after dark.In this episode, we travel first to the murky waters of Honey Island Swamp. Since the early 1960s, there have been sightings of a hulking, hair-covered creature said to stand over seven feet tall. It’s known for its piercing yellow eyes, webbed footprints, and the foul stench it leaves behind. Some say it’s an undiscovered primate. Others say it’s something far older, something tied to the ancient legends of the land.Then we head north, across the state line, to the town of Fouke, Arkansas. In 1971, a quiet rural community was shaken by a terrifying encounter that left a family fleeing their home and sparked one of America’s most enduring monster legends. The creature became known as the Fouke Monster—or the Boggy Creek Monster. Witnesses describe a towering figure with glowing red eyes and long arms that swing like a great ape.The stories are chilling, the evidence mysterious, and the legend refuses to die.Finally, we follow a trail that may tie these two legends together. A story that crosses swamps, rivers, and state lines. A story of men who went looking for the truth—and may have found it. Or maybe something found them. Are these two creatures part of the same mystery? Separate beasts haunting different landscapes? Or is it all just folklore—old stories to keep people from wandering too far into the dark? You decide. But remember, some legends are more than just stories.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMVisit HIMS.COM

This episode takes you deep into the wilds and waters of North Carolina, where folklore and fear go hand in hand.We kick things off in the murky lowlands of Scape Ore Swamp, home to one of the strangest cryptid encounters on record. Known as the Lizard Man, this creature first terrorized the small town of Bishopville in the late 1980s. With glowing red eyes, scaly skin, and a towering frame, witnesses described something straight out of a nightmare. But some say this wasn’t a one-time visitor. Could the Scape Ore Swamp Monster be part of something bigger—another link in North Carolina’s long history of Bigfoot sightings?From there, we head into the dense forests and remote backroads, where encounters with Bigfoot have spanned generations. Hunters, hikers, and locals tell stories of hulking, hair-covered figures crossing highways in the dead of night, of eerie howls that send shivers down your spine, and of something massive lurking just beyond the tree line. These aren’t just isolated incidents—they’re part of a pattern stretching across the state, from the Uwharrie National Forest to the Blue Ridge Mountains.But the mysteries don’t stop in the woods. Off the coast, the Outer Banks are known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic, where more than 2,000 ships have met their end. Some of them, according to legend, never left. We explore the chilling stories of North Carolina’s ghost ships, like the Carroll A. Deering, found run aground in 1921 with its entire crew vanished. And then there’s the Flaming Ship of Ocracoke, a phantom vessel said to appear in flames before vanishing into thin air.Then come the booms. Along these same shores, locals have heard thunderous explosions for centuries—sounds that rattle homes, shake the ground, and leave no physical trace. They call them the Seneca Guns. Are they earthquakes? Underwater landslides? Something stranger? No one knows. But the booms keep coming.And just when you think it can’t get any stranger, we dig into North Carolina’s werewolf legends. From the colonial era to the present day, there are stories of shapeshifters, half-human beasts, and howls that don’t belong to any known predator. Whether they’re European legends brought over by settlers or something older and native to these lands, the werewolves of North Carolina still haunt the edges of local lore.From swamp monsters and Sasquatch to ghost ships, phantom booms, and werewolves—this is North Carolina like you’ve never heard it before.If you’re loving these stories, here’s what to do next:Follow and subscribe to the show.Turn on auto-downloads so you never miss an episode.Leave a rating and review—it helps more people find us, and we appreciate it.Most importantly, tell your friends, family, and co-workers.

Welcome to first episode in a series of National Park Nightmares, a deep dive into some of the most mysterious disappearances that have taken place in America’s vast and often unforgiving national parks. In this first episode of the series, we explore four baffling cases of individuals who vanished under strange and unexplained circumstances: Dennis Martin, Thelma Pauline Melton, Bessie and Glen Hyde, and Trenny Gibson. Each of these cases presents unique and unsettling elements that leave us questioning what forces might be at play in the depths of the wilderness. These are not merely stories of people getting lost. Many of these cases involve eerie coincidences, missing evidence, and witnesses reporting odd details that defy conventional explanations. As we embark on this series, we aim to investigate the facts while respecting the families of the missing, acknowledging the pain they have endured, and ensuring that these individuals are not forgotten. Some speculate that unknown elements—whether natural, human, or even cryptid—may be involved in these disappearances. While we are not here to promote any particular theory, we cannot ignore that fact is sometimes stranger than fiction.Cases Covered in This Episode: 🔹 Dennis Martin (1969) – Great Smoky Mountains National Park A six-year-old boy vanishes without a trace during a family camping trip. Hundreds of searchers, including the Green Berets, comb the area, but no trace of him is ever found. Was Dennis simply lost, or was there something more sinister at play? 🔹 Thelma Pauline Melton (1981) – Great Smoky Mountains National Park An experienced hiker disappears in broad daylight on a well-traveled trail she had walked countless times before. No signs of struggle, no logical explanation—just gone. 🔹 Bessie and Glen Hyde (1928) – Grand Canyon National Park A newlywed couple sets off on a daring honeymoon adventure down the Colorado River but never reaches their destination. Their boat is found intact with all their supplies, yet the Hydes themselves have vanished. Did they drown, or is there another explanation? 🔹 Trenny Gibson (1976) – Great Smoky Mountains National Park A sixteen-year-old high school student on a school field trip steps off a trail for mere moments and is never seen again. Her disappearance raises many questions, especially considering her proximity to other students and the strange behavior of some individuals in the group.Join the Discussion: Do you have thoughts on these cases?

The woods and backroads at night hold more than just the familiar legends of Sasquatch or the terrifying Dogman. Some encounters defy classification—leaving behind nothing but questions and an eerie sense that reality is far stranger than we think. In this episode, we dive into some chilling experiences:A police officer witnesses an otherworldly figure lurking in the shadows—something small, gray, and watching him with enormous black eyes. The encounter leaves him frozen in place until the creature raises its arm, revealing a strange metallic bracelet. A moment later, everything goes dark, and he wakes up on the ground, disoriented and haunted by what he saw.A woman mowing her pasture spots an unusual being—grayish-white, moving in an unnatural, bouncing gait. Later, whispers in her mind seem to acknowledge her routine, and she begins to suspect she is being watched. Her unease grows when strange lights appear in the sky, and her security system goes unchecked on the very night something stirs outside her home.Another witness, out for an evening walk, sees a glowing shape hovering just above the treetops. As he nears the forest’s edge, he notices an eerie blue light shining through the trees. Then, he sees it—something not human, something observing him in complete silence. What happens next is a blackout he can’t explain, leaving him shaken to this day.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMVisit HIMS.COMAre these beings visitors from somewhere else?

For centuries, people have whispered about creatures that lurk just beyond the edges of our understanding—beings that live in the shadows, in the forests, beneath the waves. Some dismiss them as folklore, others claim to have seen them with their own eyes. And then, there are those who say they’ve lived among them.Tonight, we explore three incredible stories—each more unbelievable than the last.First, we journey to Tennessee, where the Carter family claimed to have lived alongside a clan of Sasquatch for decades. At the heart of this astonishing story is Fox, a massive, intelligent male Bigfoot who supposedly learned to understand English and even spoke in broken phrases. Was this a case of true interspecies communication, or one of the most elaborate hoaxes in Bigfoot history?  Then, we dive deep—literally—into the legend of mermaid-like fish people, humanoid creatures spotted in remote waters across the world. From ancient sailor accounts to modern-day reports, there have been eerie descriptions of beings that seem half human, half fish—but are they truly mermaids, or something far stranger? Some stories tell of intelligent water-dwelling entities who avoid human contact, while others suggest something more sinister lurking beneath the surface.And finally, we venture to the dense jungles of India, where generations have told of the Monkey Man—a creature said to be part human, part primate, seen leaping across rooftops and vanishing into the night. Some believe it’s an undiscovered species, while others insist it’s something supernatural, a being that exists in the space between reality and myth. But in 2001, panic swept through the city of Delhi when multiple reports surfaced of a terrifying humanoid figure attacking people in the dead of night.Was this mass hysteria, or something much more real?This episode is a journey through the unbelievable, the unexplained, and the outright bizarre. From the deep forests of Tennessee to the waters where legends of mermaids refuse to die, to the mysterious figure haunting the streets of India—these are stories that defy explanation.So, what do you believe? Are these just myths, or is there something out there, hiding in the spaces we refuse to look? Support the Show! If you love exploring the unknown with me, I need your help!

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of the unexplained, where reality and myth blur into one. From terrifying roadside encounters to years of unexplained abductions, tonight’s stories will leave you questioning just how much of the unknown is lurking right outside our doorsteps.Story 1: The Werewolf on the HighwayOur journey into the strange begins with a late-night drive home, where a logistics worker encounters something he can’t explain. At first, he thinks it's a moose or a bear lying in the road, but as he slows down, he realizes it’s something else entirely. Its sickly yellow eyes, patchy wet fur, and unnatural, almost human-like legs haunt him for weeks. Was it just a wolf struck by a passing truck, or did he come face-to-face with something straight out of legend—a werewolf?Story 2: A Woman’s Harrowing Abductions by SasquatchFor one Ohio woman, strange encounters weren’t just fleeting moments of terror—they were a lifelong nightmare. She claims that a group of Bigfoots repeatedly visited her family, even abducting her and holding her captive in a cave as a child. Over the years, her memories of these experiences were repressed, only to resurface later, bringing with them chilling details of her time among the creatures. Were they simply observing her, or did they have a deeper purpose?Story 3: Adele’s Backyard VisitorSometimes, encounters with the unknown come when we least expect them. For Adele, it was a quiet spring morning in her backyard, where she often fed local wildlife. As she sat watching the animals, she noticed something unusual—long, flowing blonde hair moving toward the feeding station. At first, she thought it was a dog, but as the creature got closer, she realized it wasn’t. With dark, leathery hands and feet and intelligent eyes, this being defied everything she knew. When it stood up on two legs and sprinted away at impossible speed, she knew her life would never be the same.Story 4: The Wolfman of Cinder RoadOur final story comes from a prominent local government official who wishes to remain anonymous. Late one night, while driving down a backroad near Bendon, Michigan, he spotted a pair of glowing eyes in his headlights. Expecting a deer, he slowed down—only to realize that the creature before him was no ordinary animal. Standing on two legs near a road-killed deer was a massive, wolf-like figure covered in dark fur. He brought his truck to a complete stop, staring in shock as it stared right back. Just as he began to doubt his own eyes, the creature dropped to all fours and sprinted across the road into the woods. Shaken but determined to prove what he had seen, he stepped out and photographed massive paw prints in the soft dirt. If not for those pictures, he admits, he might have convinced himself it was all in his imagination.Final Thoughts: What Lurks in the Shadows?Each of these stories leaves us with a sense of unease—a reminder that sometimes, the world is far stranger than we’d like to believe. Were these encounters simply misidentified animals, tricks of the mind, or proof that creatures of legend still walk among us?That’s for you to decide.But if one day you find yourself alone on a dark highway, standing in your backyard at dawn, or venturing into the woods at dusk, take a moment to listen.

War leaves scars—some you can see, some you can’t. And some remain hidden in the deep, dark jungles where the rules of reality seem to shift.In tonight’s episode, we dive into an extraordinary email from a Vietnam veteran named Roger M., a loyal listener who has carried a secret for decades. He was there. He fought in the war. And he encountered something the military told him to forget—something that wasn’t human. Roger’s story isn’t just another Bigfoot sighting. His unit faced a terrifying presence in the jungle: the Rock Apes of Vietnam. Described as bipedal, muscular, and fiercely territorial, these creatures weren’t just watching. They were fighting back. With chilling details of rock-throwing attacks, eerie vocalizations, and silent, unnatural moments deep in enemy territory, Roger’s experience raises one unsettling question—what exactly was out there with them?But Roger’s story isn’t the only one. As we peel back the layers of history and folklore, we’ll look at similar reports from the other side of the war. Vietnamese soldiers, too, whispered about the “Người Rừng” or “Forest People”—hairy, humanoid beings that didn’t seem to take sides but weren’t afraid to show their presence. Were the Rock Apes simply an undiscovered species? Or was something even more mysterious at play in the jungles of Southeast Asia?From the war-torn forests of Vietnam, we travel to the remote hills of India, where another legend lurks in the shadows—the Mande Barung. Often called “India’s Bigfoot,” this creature has been reported by locals for generations, described as a massive, upright ape-like being that roams the dense rainforests of Meghalaya. What makes the Mande Barung so fascinating? Could it be related to the creatures Roger and his fellow soldiers encountered? And why do reports of these beings appear in so many of the world’s most isolated regions?And finally, we journey into the frozen Himalayas to confront the most famous of them all—the Yeti. For centuries, stories of this towering, elusive creature have captivated explorers, monks, and mountaineers alike. From ancient Buddhist texts to modern-day footprint discoveries, the Yeti remains one of the greatest mysteries in cryptozoology. Could the legends of the Yeti and the Mande Barung connect to the Rock Apes of Vietnam? Are we looking at scattered remnants of a species that once roamed the Earth freely?Tonight, we’re unraveling the threads of a mystery that stretches across continents and centuries. A mystery that suggests the creatures of legend might not just be myths after all.Tune in—because sometimes, the truth hides in the jungle, the mountains, and the darkness of war itself.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMVisit HIMS.COM

Tonight’s episode takes us deep into the unknown, exploring eerie encounters that span continents and generations. We begin with the ancient legends of cryptids—Bigfoot, the Yeti, the Yowie, and the Yeren—beings that have lurked in folklore for centuries. These creatures, often described as massive, hairy, and elusive, have fascinated and frightened those who have claimed to see them. But as time has passed, our stories have evolved, and with them, the beings themselves.What if these legendary creatures were only the beginning? Our journey shifts to modern accounts of humanoid entities that stretch beyond the realm of cryptids. A hunter in Montgomery, New York, experiences an unshakable terror before witnessing a strange figure and vehicles that defy explanation. A night watchman in Cerro Borrego, Mexico, captures photos of a winged humanoid, only to find the images inexplicably erased the next day. Across the globe, from England to Australia, people report encounters with towering faceless figures, glowing-eyed beings, and entities that defy the laws of physics.But it doesn’t stop there. Some of these encounters suggest something more than just momentary sightings. People speak of missing time, physical ailments, and inexplicable changes in their bodies following these experiences. What was once thought to be creatures of the wilderness now appears to have a deeper, more mysterious connection to something beyond our world. Are these beings extraterrestrial? Interdimensional? Or are they something else entirely—something we have yet to comprehend?As we close this chapter, the mystery remains unsolved. What do all these sightings mean? Are they all separate phenomena, or do they connect in ways we have yet to understand? One thing is certain: these stories come from real people, and they leave us with more questions than answers. But perhaps that is the true nature of the unknown—it is not meant to be solved, only explored.Thank you for joining us on this journey into the shadows.

In this chilling episode, we dive deep into two of the most harrowing Bigfoot encounter cases ever documented—the infamous Siege at Honobia and the mysterious Kentucky Bigfoot Encounters. These terrifying accounts of aggressive and persistent Sasquatch activity will leave you questioning just how close we are to the unknown.We start with the Siege at Honobia, where a rural Oklahoma family found themselves under relentless attack by an unknown entity lurking in the darkness. Over two years, the disturbances escalated from strange noises and stolen food to violent attempts to enter their home. After a fateful night when the family patriarch fired at the creature, the investigation took an even darker turn. The case drew the attention of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO), who documented chilling evidence that something massive, intelligent, and possibly territorial was lurking in the remote Kiamichi Mountains.Then, we travel to Kentucky, another Bigfoot hotspot, where multiple encounters paint a hauntingly similar picture. From deep Appalachian forests to isolated farmlands, witnesses describe massive bipedal creatures with glowing red eyes, eerie vocalizations, and unsettling persistence. In some cases, creatures were seen stalking homes, peering through windows, and even physically shaking buildings. What makes Kentucky such a magnet for these encounters, and what patterns emerge when comparing these reports to the events at Honobia?Are these beings simply curious, or is something far more sinister at play?

As the sun sets and they begin their trek home, a sound in the brush sends them sprinting for safety.

Welcome to another thrilling episode where we dive into the strange, the unexplained, and the downright terrifying. Tonight, we journey to the untamed wilderness of Alaska—a land of vast tundras, towering mountains, and icy waters—where legendary creatures lurk in the shadows. Our stories come straight from those who have seen the impossible and lived to tell the tale. Strap in as we explore three chilling encounters with Alaska’s mystery beasts—from an eerie roadside meeting with a Dogman, to the looming presence of the Urayuli, and the deep, dark waters where a sea monster may still be hiding.Story #1: The Dogman of Matanuska Valley Our first story takes place on a lonely Alaskan highway late one October night in 1998. A woman named Melissa H. was driving home through the icy wilderness when she spotted something unusual in her headlights. At first, she thought it was a moose—common enough in these parts—but as she slowed down, she realized this was no ordinary animal. Standing tall on two legs, a wolf-like creature with massive claws and “spiked” fur loomed at the roadside. Its intelligent, glowing eyes locked onto her, and in that brief moment, she knew with absolute certainty—this thing was alive. Not a Halloween prop. Not a bear. Something else. Terrified, she gunned the gas, fishtailing on the ice, but never looking back. Was it a Dogman? A shapeshifter? Or just an exhausted mind playing tricks? Whatever she saw that night, she never forgot it.Story #2: The Urayuli—Alaska’s Own Bigfoot Deep in the southwest corner of the state, near Lake Iliamna, another legend lurks. Called by many names—Arulataq, Bushman, Nant’ina—but most commonly known as the Urayuli, this towering figure is said to be 7 to 14 feet tall, covered in shaggy hair, and armed with freakishly long arms that nearly reach its ankles. Local stories speak of it stealing livestock, raiding campsites, and even swimming through the icy Alaskan waters. While similar to the classic Sasquatch, its eerie glowing red eyes and its ability to vanish without a trace set it apart. In 1982, a hunting guide snapped a blurry photograph of a massive humanoid silhouette standing atop a ridge near Dillingham. Could it have been the Urayuli, watching the land it has called home for centuries? Story #3: The Kodiak Island Sea Monster Alaska’s mysteries don’t just walk the land—they also swim beneath its frigid waves. In 1969, a fishing crew scanning the ocean floor off Kodiak Island made a shocking discovery—a sonar reading of a 200-foot-long creature lying at the bottom of the sea. Its shape? Unmistakably dinosaur-like, with a long neck and fins. Then, in the summer of 1971, a group of fishermen reported seeing a grayish, 30-foot-long beast with a horse-like head swimming near their skiff. One crew member fired a rifle at it, but the creature dived beneath their boat and resurfaced on the other side. And in 2002, a fishing vessel in Uganik Bay had a terrifying close encounter when a massive neck and head emerged from the depths, only to disappear moments later. The following summer, something rammed their boat from below with enough force to nearly knock a man overboard. No whales were in the area. Whatever it was, it was big.Are these encounters proof of ancient creatures, cryptid legends, or something more supernatural? From the shadows of the forests to the icy depths of the sea, Alaska holds mysteries as old as time itself. One thing is certain—when you venture into the wild unknown, you never know what might be watching you.🎙 Join the Discussion!What do you think?

In this episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories, we journey deep into the wilderness to uncover tales of terrifying encounters with creatures that seem to exist just beyond the edge of reason. From the remote foothills of Montana to the dense forests of Washington State and the mysterious islands of Lac La Martre, these firsthand accounts are as chilling as they are thought-provoking. We begin with a horseback hunting trip in Montana that takes a terrifying turn when a group of young riders stumbles upon a towering, hairy figure in the brush. The encounter not only spooks their horses but also leaves them with lingering questions as they discover broken branches and massive footprints along their trail. Next, we move to the North Cascades in Washington State, where two friends hiking near Diablo Lake are confronted by a bloodcurdling roar unlike anything they’ve ever heard. What begins as a peaceful day in nature turns into a heart-pounding escape from an unseen creature that may have been following them. Heather’s camping story takes us deeper into the woods, where strange smells, eerie sounds, and an otherworldly figure disrupt what should have been a simple getaway. When a shadow in the trees echoes her hum, her experience transforms into a nightmarish encounter with a being that seems to defy logic. We then explore the haunting account of Tony Williah, who spent two days alone in the wilderness after capsizing his canoe on Lac La Martre. Stranded on a remote island, Tony came face-to-face with what the Tlicho people call nàhgą, or the bushman. His harrowing story connects to the rich lore of the Tlicho region, where these silent, human-like creatures are said to possess powerful magic and a history of abducting people and animals. Finally, we delve into the legend of the nàhgą through the stories of Tlicho elders, who have passed down these chilling tales for generations. From their mysterious abilities to their role in shaping the culture’s relationship with the wilderness, the nàhgą remain an enduring part of Tlicho lore and a source of fear for those who encounter them.

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.
