Bigfoot Banging On The Cabin
Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back, and this time he's sharing a terrifying encounter that turned a peaceful anniversary getaway deep in the Alaskan wilderness into a fight to get out before something went terribly wrong. Benjamin and Sheila had been looking forward to a quiet weekend together at a remote cabin along the Deshka and Little Susitna River system in Alaska. The cabin belonged to friends, and with no roads leading in, the couple would have to make the trip by boat.
After getting a rundown of the river channels, the cabin's equipment, and the basics of staying safe in the wilderness, they headed out with supplies, a .45 pistol, and a 12-gauge shotgun for protection. What started as a relaxing escape quickly took a disturbing turn.As a late-fall storm rolled in, both Benjamin and Sheila began experiencing the unsettling feeling that something was watching them from the surrounding woods. Then a massive cottonwood tree came crashing down nearby. When they stepped outside to investigate, they spotted something neither could explain.
Deep in the darkness stood a tall, shadowy figure with eyes that appeared to change color, shifting from white to green and finally to red.They retreated inside, but whatever was outside didn't seem interested in leaving. Throughout the night, mysterious banging sounds moved around the cabin. Their satellite phone wasn't charging properly, the weather was getting worse, and the couple found themselves isolated in the Alaskan wilderness with no idea what might be lurking just beyond the walls. At first light, Benjamin spotted an enormous dark figure standing near the treeline.
That was enough. The couple grabbed their belongings and made a desperate run for their boat. But as they scrambled to escape, Sheila caught sight of something even more frightening: the figure moving silently through thick brush, keeping pace with their departure.They eventually made it safely downstream, but the story didn't end there. When they told the cabin's owners what had happened, they learned that Benjamin and Sheila weren't the first people to experience something strange on that remote stretch of river.
Join us for another chilling firsthand account from the remote wilderness of Alaska as Fred shares a story of strange eyes in the darkness, unexplained activity around an isolated cabin, and a mysterious creature that may have wanted two visitors to know they weren't welcome.
Sometimes the most frightening thing about being alone in the wilderness is realizing you might not be alone at all.

The Arrangement: Part Six
In the summer of 1962, a ten-year-old boy fishing alone in a remote north Georgia creek witnessed something that would change his life forever. Two enormous, hair-covered figures emerged from the woods and crossed the shallow water. One was an adult female. The other was a juvenile, roughly his own size, that stopped in the middle of the creek and stared directly at him.
Terrified, Jimmy ran home, leaving behind his fishing pole, bait can, and even one of his shoes. When he reached the farmhouse, his grandfather was waiting on the porch with four words that would stay with him for the rest of his life: "So you've seen one."
In Part Six of The Arrangement, the extraordinary Sasquatch story takes a dramatic turn. For the first time, Jimmy shares his own firsthand encounters with the mysterious creatures his family had quietly coexisted with for more than fifty years. Between the ages of ten and twelve, Jimmy begins learning the secrets passed down through four g enerations. His grandfather Thomas teaches him the strict rules governing their unusual arrangement, the meaning behind mysterious wood knocks and whistles, and why certain areas of their eighty-acre property are absolutely forbidden.
But as Jimmy becomes more comfortable with the activity surrounding the farmhouse, something unexpected happens. A young Sasquatch begins showing a particular interest in him. Strange encounters at his favorite fishing hole gradually escalate, from rocks thrown into the creek and mysteriously relocated belongings to enormous footprints appearing around the places he frequents. Then, a frightening accident leaves Jimmy injured and unconscious beside the creek.
When he awakens, an enormous gray-faced male Sasquatch is standing just twenty yards away, silently watching him. Was the creature simply curious, or was something more happening between Jimmy's family and the mysterious inhabitants of the mountain?As autumn arrives, the fragile understanding that has protected both families for decades begins to unravel.
Strange activity moves closer to the farmhouse. Familiar signals change. And one terrifying November night, Jimmy's grandfather orders everyone away from the windows, takes control of the family rifle, and delivers an ominous warning: "Something's gone wrong up there. "What had changed on the mountain?
And could a relationship built on generations of trust survive whatever was coming?

The Florida Skunk Ape
What would you do if you came face-to-face with an eight-foot-tall Bigfoot just 15 feet away? Or watched a mysterious, hair-covered creature drop from two legs to all fours and disappear into the Florida wilderness at incredible speed?
Brian welcomes returning guest Mike and first-time guest Christina from Squatch FL for an incredible conversation about their family's firsthand Bigfoot encounters, terrifying close calls, and remarkable discoveries in the swamps and forests of Florida.
Mike's journey began in 2017 near Homosassa, Florida, when a massive, cinnamon-colored Sasquatch walked directly across the road in front of his truck. That unforgettable sighting changed his life and launched years of boots-on-the-ground research.But that was only the beginning.
Mike recounts a terrifying nighttime encounter deep in Florida's Green Swamp, where he suddenly found himself standing just 15 feet from an enormous, black-haired creature. He describes its massive shoulders, unusual skin coloration, and the split-second reaction that sent him scrambling backward into the darkness.Then the conversation turns to the family's more recent experiences, including two extraordinary sightings just days apart.
During a nighttime Jeep excursion, Mike, Christina, and their children witnessed enormous glowing eyes approximately eight feet above the ground. Days later, while exploring the same remote area, Mike encountered a smaller, upright, hair-covered figure that did something he never expected: it dropped onto all fours and raced through the brush before returning to two legs.
The family also shares discoveries involving mysterious footprints, including massive tracks measuring nearly 19 inches long, unusual tree structures on a remote island in the Withlacoochee Forest, and a bizarre incident involving a missing fishing rod that somehow reappeared standing upright beside an offering of food.
Throughout the conversation, they explore possible Sasquatch behavior, the controversial reports of Bigfoot moving on all fours, and the challenges of interpreting physical evidence in the wilderness. Perhaps most importantly, Mike and Christina explain how sharing these experiences with their children has transformed Bigfoot research into a family adventure, creating memories and bonds that will last a lifetime.
Are Florida's remote swamps and forests hiding something extraordinary? And could these family's
experiences offer clues about the mysterious creatures people continue to report encountering?
Join us for an unforgettable episode filled with firsthand eyewitness testimony, incredible encounters, unexplained discoveries, and a few good laughs along the way.
Connect with Mike, Christina, and their team at Squatch FL on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram for field investigations, videos, photographs, and updates from their ongoing Florida Bigfoot research.

Bigfoot On The Seal Hunt
Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back with another terrifying firsthand account from the remote wilderness of Alaska. This time, he shares the harrowing experience of two young Inupiaq hunters whose routine seal hunt along Alaska’s western coastline turned into a desperate fight to escape what they believe were multiple Sasquatch creatures. Gabriel and his younger cousin Lenny were hunting seals along a remote stretch of coastline when a strange, overpowering odor caught their attention.
Moments later, Lenny spotted an enormous dark figure moving through grass nearly six feet tall. When the two investigated, they discovered what appeared to be a massive, human-shaped footprint estimated at more than 20 inches long. But that was only the beginning.After relocating and successfully harvesting a seal, the hunters suddenly found themselves face-to-face with a towering, hair-covered creature that unleashed a scream so powerful it left Gabriel temporarily frozen in fear.
As the terrified cousins fled, they discovered something even more disturbing: there wasn't just one creature. There were at least two, and they appeared to be working together.What followed was a terrifying pursuit through miles of dense coastal grass, complete with mysterious clicking sounds, bone-chilling screams, an accidental rifle discharge, and the horrifying realization that the creatures might be attempting to flank them and cut off their escape.
he encounter takes an even darker turn when a relative from a neighboring village reveals that the same stretch of coastline has a long history of alleged Hairy Man activity, including stories of people who mysteriously disappeared in the area.
Were these young hunters being stalked by a family of Sasquatch? Was the freshly harvested seal what attracted the creatures, or were Gabriel and Lenny themselves the intended targets?J
Join us for another chilling account of Alaska Bigfoot encounters, Indigenous Hairy Man legends, and the unexplained mysteries of the Alaskan wilderness, as Fred shares a story that raises disturbing questions about what may be lurking along one of North America's most isolated coastlines.

The Arrangement: Part Five
For four generations, one family guarded a terrifying secret deep in the North Georgia mountains. But one man refused to believe—until something stepped into his headlights.
In Part Five, Jimmy's family history takes a chilling turn as his father, Robert, becomes the first person in generations to challenge everything his family believes about the creatures living on their land. After returning from military service in 1946, Robert dismisses the stories as mountain superstition.
That changes in October 1947, when he witnesses an enormous, humanlike figure walking upright through an abandoned logging cut in broad daylight. For months, he struggles to explain what he saw. Then, on a lonely mountain road in February 1948, something follows his truck through the darkness—and finally steps into the headlights.
The story then moves into the 1950s, when Jimmy is born and begins growing up on the family's isolated 80-acre property. Strange household rules, mysterious food disappearances, and his grandfather's secret trips into the woods raise questions nobody will answer.
But when seven-year-old Jimmy discovers enormous, five-toed footprints along a creek, the family's carefully guarded secret begins to unravel. And one moonlit night in August 1959, Jimmy looks out his bedroom window and sees something watching the house from beyond the garden.
What has this family been living alongside for nearly half a century? And why have they gone to such extraordinary lengths to keep it hidden?

The Making Of Bigfoot
Brian welcomes author and researcher Greg Long to Sasquatch Odyssey for a revealing conversation about his book, The Making of Bigfoot, and the investigation that led him to challenge the Patterson–Gimlin film.Greg traces his research through Yakima and Tampico, Washington, where interviews led him to Bob Heironimus—the man who told Greg he wore the Bigfoot suit.
He shares accounts from Heironimus’s family and other witnesses who reported seeing the costume in a blue Buick, alongside recollections of Roger Patterson that describe a creative man whose honesty those witnesses questioned. The conversation tackles some of the film’s most disputed details: uncertainty surrounding the shooting date, questions about the rapid film-processing timeline, and costume claims involving Philip Morris.
Greg also discusses Clint Patterson’s claim that the suit was later burned, newly discovered footage connected to Norm Johnson’s Boeing lab, and a possible link to Dave Johnson.
With the documentary Capturing Bigfoot bringing these questions back into focus, Brian and Greg examine the testimony, competing accounts, and unresolved details behind one of the most famous pieces of footage ever recorded.
Greg lays out his case for a hoax and encourages listeners to read his book, watch the documentary, and weigh the evidence for themselves.

Bigfoot At Devil's Lake
Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel is back. This time, he shares the chilling account of Stanley, a pilot whose first solo visit to an inherited cabin became a terrifying ordeal at a remote Alaskan retreat he called Devil’s Lake. After landing his float-equipped Piper Super Cub, Stanley felt an overwhelming sense that he was being watched.
Then came a sharp whoop—and a massive, dark figure he estimated at 12 feet tall shaking trees near the cabin. Stanley retreated inside, barricaded the door, and armed himself. A foul odor and another sighting added to his fear before nightfall.
The following morning, the figure returned near his plane. Stanley describes it moving rapidly on all fours, shaking trees while vocalizing, and appearing to push the aircraft’s tail. Before finally escaping by air, he says he saw its face: wrinkled, charcoal-gray skin and bright golden-yellow eyes.
Four years later, Stanley returned with friends and found the property peaceful. But his grandfather’s journals revealed an unsettling detail: references to a “hairy man” appeared only during the years when his grandfather’s health was declining.
Those entries leave a lingering question about whether vulnerability played a role in the encounters—and what his grandfather experienced at Devil’s Lake.

The Arrangement Part Four: Blood on the Mountain
In the winter of 1950, Thomas finally crossed a boundary his father had warned him never to cross. Deep in the mountains of north Georgia, on a remote section of the family's 80-acre property, he ventured into an area Will had marked on an old map with three chilling words: DO NOT GO HERE.
What Thomas discovered suggested the Sasquatch living on the mountain had a hidden place of their own. Massive footprints, twisted trees, carefully arranged stones, shattered bones, and a secluded shelter beneath a rocky overhang all pointed to something extraordinary. But when the forest suddenly fell silent and something enormous began moving through the laurel above him, Thomas realized he wasn't alone. Whatever lived on that ridge knew he was there—and it followed him all the way back down the mountain.
Over the next several years, Thomas continued the uneasy arrangement his father had established with the mysterious creatures. But everything changed when three timber men arrived with frightening stories of something massive stalking their camp on the neighboring property. Then came a cold November night, a single rifle shot echoing through the mountains, and nearly a minute of terrifying screams unlike anything Thomas had ever heard. At daylight, Thomas followed a trail of evidence that would change everything: enormous tracks, blood on the mountainside, signs that something wounded had been dragged uphill, and a spent rifle casing.
Someone had entered the mountain with a gun, and Thomas was determined to find out who.In Part Four of The Arrangement, we continue the remarkable account shared through emails by a mysterious man named Jimmy, whose family has owned this secluded north Georgia property for generations. Jimmy claims his grandfather first revealed these events to him when he was just nine years old.
Today, he says he still possesses the original map, the rifle casing, and eleven handwritten pages documenting what happened.For decades, Jimmy's family protected a secret about the Sasquatch living on their land. But someone from outside the family had crossed a line, and the fragile peace established by his great-grandfather was about to unravel.
Coming in Part Five: Thomas discovers who was responsible for the gunshot on the mountain—and what he decides to do about it could put his family and everything his father worked to protect at risk.

Capturing Bigfoot Live Q&A
What if everything you thought you knew about the most famous Bigfoot film ever recorded was only part of the story?
In this special episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, we're taking you inside an exclusive audience Q&A following a screening of the groundbreaking documentary Capturing Bigfoot. Filmmaker Marq Evans, producer Tamir Ardon, and Roger Patterson's son, Clint Patterson, pull back the curtain on the making of the film, revealing family secrets, previously unseen footage, behind-the-scenes conflicts, and explosive allegations surrounding the legendary 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film.
The story begins in June 2022, when Teresa Brooks contacted filmmaker Marq Evans about a mysterious 16mm film reel discovered in her late father's safe. What initially seemed like an intriguing piece of forgotten Bigfoot history quickly became the starting point for a years-long investigation into Roger Patterson, the people surrounding him, and the complicated legacy of the most scrutinized cryptid footage in history.
The filmmakers explain how they uncovered rare archival material, gained access to more than 100 hours of interviews collected by author Greg Long, and tracked down individuals who had spent decades avoiding questions about Patterson and the famous film. But perhaps their most significant breakthrough came when they earned the trust of Clint Patterson, Roger's son, whose involvement would ultimately transform the direction of the documentary.
For Clint, participating in Capturing Bigfoot was about much more than revisiting an old controversy. He speaks candidly about growing up in the shadow of his father's legacy, the anger he carried for decades, and how the filmmaking process helped him repair his relationship with his mother. He also addresses his decision to share his version of the truth, knowing it could spark considerable backlash within the Bigfoot community.
The discussion also explores the mysterious connections involving Al DeAtley, Dave Johnson, Chinook Press, and Boeing, along with the filmmakers' efforts to investigate the historical record. They reveal how interference from Al DeAtley's estate complicated production, why extraordinary secrecy surrounded the project, and how original 8mm and 16mm film elements were restored and scanned in 4K to bring decades-old evidence back to life. And then there's the question that has haunted Bigfoot researchers for nearly sixty years: If the Patterson-Gimlin film was a hoax, what happened to the suit? Clint offers his thoughts on that mystery, including the possibility that it was deliberately destroyed.
Throughout the Q&A, the filmmakers discuss the challenges of separating documented history from speculation, the importance of forensic film analysis, and the surprising discoveries that emerged during production. They also reveal details about the mysterious 40-second film reel that helped launch the entire investigation.
Whether you believe the Patterson-Gimlin film captured a real Sasquatch or the greatest hoax in cryptozoological history, this conversation offers a fascinating look at the people, family relationships, and unanswered questions behind one of the most enduring mysteries of the twentieth century.
Did Roger Patterson capture a creature unknown to science, or is there another story behind the legendary footage?

Bigfoot The Alaskan Hairy Man
Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel is back with two terrifying accounts of alleged encounters with Alaska's legendary Hairy Man. From a remote cabin along the Nushagak River to an isolated village where something stalked a woman's home for days, these stories reveal just how frightening life in the Alaskan wilderness can become when something unknown decides you're not welcome.
The episode begins with the chilling conclusion to a family reunion that took a horrifying turn along the Nushagak River. Douglas, his wife, and his brother Thomas are forced to return to a remote cabin less than 72 hours after leaving when they realize Douglas's wife, who is battling cancer, has accidentally left behind her irreplaceable medications. An older relative agrees to accompany them, but he comes armed and issues a disturbing warning: the area has a long history of aggressive Hairy Man encounters.
When they arrive, they immediately realize something isn't right. Their belongings have been moved outside, and a freshly killed, soaking-wet beaver has been left on the cabin floor. As they search for the missing medication bag near the dark treeline, an ear-piercing scream erupts from the woods, sending their armed escort into action. What happens next turns their desperate trip into a fight to escape. Something hidden in the darkness hurls a dead beaver with such force that it strikes Douglas, while gunshots ring out and a large, unseen presence retreats into the forest.
Then Fred shares another disturbing account from a remote Alaskan village, where two men named Tyler and Jacob agree to help a woman named Sophie prepare her isolated home for the brutal winter ahead.
What begins as a routine job quickly becomes a nightmare. Doors appear to have been forced and warped, enormous handprints are discovered high above the ground, and an overpowering stench surrounds the property. Soon, something begins pounding on the walls, and Sophie reports seeing a massive figure outside her home. As the activity intensifies, the men arm themselves and attempt to escape on four-wheelers. But whatever has been lurking around the property doesn't seem ready to let them leave.
Glowing red eyes appear in the darkness, a towering figure emerges from the shadows, and strange chittering and clicking sounds echo through the night. Even after the immediate confrontation, the unexplained banging continues for days, finally subsiding as heavy winter snow begins to blanket the village.
Were these encounters with Alaska's legendary Hairy Man, or something even more disturbing? Why would something deliberately move belongings, leave dead animals behind, and repeatedly terrorize an isolated home? And what happens when the creatures people have whispered about for generations stop avoiding humans and begin confronting them?

The Arrangement: Part Three
In October of 1938, Jimmy's grandfather Thomas walked around the back corner of the barn before daylight and found something eating out of the crushed cane pile behind the sorghum mill. When he described it at breakfast, his father Will asked about the color across its shoulders and the way its left foot traveled, and then told him which one it was. The family had called it the boy since it was young, and nobody on the place had seen it in more than 10 years.
Part Three of Jimmy's account covers the years when the north Georgia farm passed from Will to Thomas. Through the late 1930s and early 1940s, Thomas met the boy again and again, at the apple stump, at the top field, and across thirty feet of water at the spring branch, and it never once let him close the distance. In those same years he learned to tell the animals on the mountain apart by build, color, face, and the way each one walked, and he later taught that to his son and to Jimmy.
In 1943 Thomas took his family to Marietta for war work at the Bell bomber plant, and Will stayed on the land alone. When Thomas came home in the fall of 1945, the fences were down, the orchard was broken up, and his father told him it wasn't like it had been. A year later, Thomas walked in on two of them feeding in the upper hollow, and one of them followed him half a mile down the mountain, breaking timber and throwing rocks.
This episode also covers the timber cruiser who came down off the ridge in November of 1947 talking about a wild man, the men who showed up with hounds and rifles, and the night Will sat the family down at the kitchen table. It ends with Will's last sighting from the porch in October of 1949, and with what Thomas found in the bottom of his father's trunk a few months later.

Skunk Apes & Shape Shifters
Brian welcomes Latriana Brown, to share two unusual experiences from her childhood in Florida.Lee says she grew up around animal-language research in the 1970s, spending years listening to, studying, and imitating animal calls. During a camping trip near Silver Springs and the Ocala National Forest, that curiosity led to an encounter she has never forgotten. After practicing different calls outside the family camper, Lee noticed a small hand press against the window screen. Believing it belonged to a juvenile Skunk Ape, she reached out and touched it.
The young creature continued returning to the window as if it wanted to play. But when Lee's mother saw what was happening and screamed, the encounter changed instantly. Lee says the juvenile began shaking the camper and trying the door, forcing the family to hide inside the tiny bathroom.
Then something even larger arrived.Lee describes what she believes was the juvenile's mother appearing outside, scolding the younger creature before physically subduing it and dragging it back into the darkness.
When the family later inspected the camper, Lee says they found hair and blood caught on the exterior.
Lee also recounts a very different childhood experience involving a Seminole chief who took her to meet a mysterious man with an overpowering, dirty, almost canine odor. The man refused to make eye contact, behaved strangely, and left Lee with the unsettling impression that there was somehow "more than one spirit" inside him.
She was told the man had committed horrific acts and was spiritually damned.
For Lee, the encounter became part of a much larger question about Native traditions, shapeshifters, and whether some of the strange beings reported in the wilderness may be something far more complicated than undiscovered animals.

The Arrangement: Part Two
In January of 1918, Will and Ada left their 80-acre mountain property for one night to attend a wedding in the valley, and when they came back there were two sets of tracks in fresh snow leading from the tree line straight to their cabin, a handprint on the window glass higher than Will could reach, and the shed door standing open. Will wrote one sentence about it on the inside cover of his first notebook, and nobody in his family left that house empty overnight again for the next 23 years.
Part two of Jimmy's story covers the 20 years that followed, from 1918 through the mid-1930s, and it's the stretch where the family stopped finding things out and started learning how to live with what they knew. Jimmy's grandfather Thomas, who was 14 when the snow came, grows up on the mountain, sees a young Sasquatch looking around a chestnut tree at the upper spring, follows its tracks one winter morning and finds out it's been walking beside him the whole time, and watches his father confront it at the chicken coop by lantern light before something in the tree line puts a stop to that.
He marries a girl from the valley, builds the house Jimmy still lives in, and raises Jimmy's father in it.In November of 1924, Will writes out seven rules on a sheet of lined paper and hands them to his son. Don't follow them. Don't shoot unless it's your life. Don't go near the young ones. Don't leave food near the house. Don't bring strangers up here looking for them. Don't go past the upper spring after dark. If the woods go quiet, leave. That sheet hangs in a frame in Jimmy's hallway today.
The Depression brings hungry men with rifles into the woods, a brother-in-law loses a hunting dog on the north ridge and never asks what happened to it, and a man from the valley named Lester spends a night sitting against a tree with something standing 40 feet off in the dark, and comes down at daylight without his rifle. Will tells him it was a bear. In May of 1934, Will and Thomas find a torn-up gravel bar along the creek with hair, blood, and a drag mark leading into the rocks, and for four nights the mountain fills with a low pulsing call nobody in the family had heard before.
It ends in October of 1936, with Thomas coming down from the upper spring at dusk and finding his father standing at the creek bank without his rifle, looking across the water at the enormous gray-headed male on the far bank, and understanding for the first time how many evenings his father had been doing exactly that.
Part three begins with Will's death in the fall of 1941.

Bigfoot In The Berry Patch
Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back with two more frightening encounters from the Alaskan bush. The first takes us to western Alaska, where Iñupiaq couple Gus and Sophie head out on four-wheelers with their adult son and young niece to gather berries.
Almost immediately, the niece senses something is wrong. Strange birdlike sounds begin coming from the brush, and then she spots it—a massive, dark-gray, wrinkled face staring at them from deep inside the alders. Moments later, the creature crashes away through the brush and unleashes a powerful whoop. The family decides to leave, but the encounter is only beginning.
Crossing the open tundra, they spot one figure moving low across the landscape. Then another enormous black humanoid appears near a distant tree line and begins moving in their direction. As the family reaches a creek, more whoops erupt around them. Gus fires warning shots from his .357 while Sophie raises her shotgun.
Then a siren-like scream rolls across the tundra—a sound later heard by other people in the village. A neighbor warns them that what they encountered could be a bad omen. Even more unsettling, the niece claims she heard a voice inside her mind telling her to bring berries.Fred then begins another disturbing account from the Bristol Bay region along the Nushagak River.
Brothers Douglas and Thomas are staying at a remote cabin with Doug's wife when they see a massive "hairy man" near the outhouse. Thomas fires his weapon, and the group scrambles to escape.
But before they can leave, the creature reportedly hurls the outhouse toward them. Doug fires as the figure disappears into the wilderness in bizarre, frog-like leaps.Then another scream erupts nearby—louder and seemingly coming from something even closer.
They race for the skiff and escape downriver, but the story isn't over. More from this terrifying Nushagak River encounter is still to come.

Bigfoot Orbs & Glowing Eyes In Idaho
In this episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, Brian welcomes Rob from Idaho, whose journey into the world of Bigfoot began with skepticism and eventually led him into field research, BFRO expeditions, unexplained encounters, and questions he never expected to be asking. Rob shares how his perspective began to change after attending BFRO outings, where he encountered unusual evidence that included track casts, a thermal image of something apparently swaying between trees near Bunking Lake, and strange red orbs seen hovering above his vehicle.
One of his most unsettling experiences came during a night at Loon Lake in Idaho’s Payette National Forest.
Rob and a friend noticed a faint yellow light moving low to the ground before catching a brief glimpse of what appeared to be a tall, reddish figure. Soon afterward, a powerful vocalization resembling the famous “Ohio howl” echoed through the area for hours. As the night continued, both men were left with the disturbing feeling that something was following them through the forest.
The conversation also explores other reported Idaho encounters, including sightings around Loon Lake, Priest Lake, Highway 12, and the Payette River Meanders, where witnesses in 2024 reported seeing two large upright figures in broad daylight. Other accounts involve screams, whistles, thrown rocks, unexplained tracks, and activity deep in remote wilderness.
Rob also recounts a trip into the Sawtooth Mountains near Redfish Lake and the surrounding bench lakes, where he witnessed a pulsating ball of light, saw what he describes as a dark brown figure with green eyes near camp, and later heard a distinct whoop from the surrounding forest.
The episode closes with a deeper discussion about one of the biggest divides in Bigfoot research: whether Sasquatch is simply an undiscovered flesh-and-blood primate, possibly connected to something like Gigantopithecus, or whether the stranger reports involving glowing eyes, orbs, portals, and other so-called “woo” phenomena suggest there may be more to the mystery.
Rob also talks about his experience appearing on Finding Bigfoot and how years in the field transformed him from a skeptic into someone convinced that something unexplained is living in the forests of Idaho.

The Arrangement: Part One
In December of 2025, an email came into the Sasquatch Odyssey inbox from a man named Jimmy. He's in his seventies, he's fighting cancer, and he's the last living person who knows the whole story of an 80-acre piece of mountain ground in north Georgia that's been in his family since 1913.
He never married and never had children, and he doesn't know who'll own the property when he's gone. So over the past ten months, in more than fifty emails, he's been telling me what happened on that land across four generations, and this is the first of ten parts. Jimmy won't come on the show, won't give his last name, and won't name the county, because he still lives on the property and still says there's activity there.
I've never spoken to him. Everything you'll hear has been reorganized from his emails into a story I can narrate, with his details left exactly as he gave them. Part one begins with Jimmy's great-grandfather Will, a cotton-mill worker who bought cheap mountain land in the fall of 1913 and moved his wife and three children into a cabin the previous family had walked away from. Within weeks, food was disappearing, the dogs refused to cross the creek, and something was striking the cabin walls at night.
In April of 1914, after three days of rain, Will found a line of 17-inch barefoot tracks along his creek and wrote in a store ledger that somebody was on his place. A month later he stood across that creek with a rifle sighted on the chest of the thing that had made them, and he didn't fire.
What followed over the next four years, from Will's own notebook and from the stories his son Thomas told Jimmy decades later, is a cautious, dangerous, and mostly silent coexistence between one family in a cabin and another family on the mountain. There's food left on a rock above the spring and a white quartz stone that appeared in its place. There's a bluff charge on the north ridge that nearly ended everything.
There's a fence built along a creek for a reason nobody would say out loud, and a set of rules that were still being repeated in that family fifty years later, starting with five words Will wrote under a list of what he'd paid for nails.
They were here before me.
The first notebook ends in January of 1918 with one sentence on the inside of the back cover, and that sentence is where part two begins.

Bigfoot In The Bush
Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel is back with two more amazing encounters from the remote Alaska wilderness—both involving terrifying close-range experiences with what witnesses describe as the legendary Hairy Man.
In the first account, experienced bush pilot Randy is flying a friend’s Super Cub near Wood-Tikchik State Park when worsening winds and a dropping ceiling force him to land on a remote knoll for the night. After securing the plane, strange moans and heavy breathing begin outside in the darkness. Then Randy sees a pair of large yellow-gold eyes staring through the plexiglass.
Whatever is outside begins circling the aircraft, banging against it and rocking the Super Cub hard enough that Randy fears it could be tipped over. Later, the creature starts rummaging beneath the plane—until it apparently gets a nose full of cayenne and Cajun seasoning and erupts with a piercing scream before disappearing into the night. At first light, Randy gets airborne and later discovers torn material on the aircraft’s tail.
Fred then shares Jonathan’s recent encounter between Wasilla and Willow. While hauling Costco supplies to his remote cabin after dark, Jonathan realizes something large is keeping pace with him from the trees. Bright white eye shine appears beside the trail as deep, powerful breathing follows him through the darkness.Jonathan fires warning shots and briefly sees the outline of a tall humanoid figure.
When he finally reaches safety, he discovers that toilet paper from his supplies has been taken and scattered behind him. The experience leaves him so shaken that once the danger has passed, the fear finally catches up with him.

Capturing Bigfoot: When Roger Faked Patty?
Brian welcomes filmmaker Marq Evans, director of the new documentary Capturing Bigfoot, for a deep dive into the film, the newly discovered footage at the center of it, and the questions it raises about one of the most famous pieces of Bigfoot history.
The story began in June 2022, when Evans received an email from Teresa Brooks about a 16mm film reel her late father, Norm Johnson, had kept locked in a safe since the 1960s. At first, there was hope the reel might contain unknown Patterson-Gimlin material. But after the film was professionally scanned, Evans discovered something different: camera-original footage that became one of the central mysteries explored in the documentary.
Marq explains the extensive research behind the project, including hundreds of hours spent digging through books, archival material, and more than 130 Greg Long interview tapes. He also discusses conversations with key figures including Bob Gimlin, Jeff Meldrum, Bill Munns, Iva DeAtley, and Bob Heironimus, along with the connections between Norm and Dave Johnson, Roger Patterson, Boeing, and Chinook Press.
Brian and Marq also get into the controversy surrounding the footage, what it could mean for the history of the Patterson-Gimlin Film, and the rumors surrounding encounters at the Yakima Bigfoot Conference.
Marq explains what actually happened, how those moments were handled during production, and what he hopes viewers take away from Capturing Bigfoot.
The documentary is scheduled for release on Amazon Prime Video on October 20, along with select theatrical screenings and filmmaker Q&A events.

Bigfoot Mimicry At Troublesome Creek
Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back with two more amazing encounter stories from the Alaska wilderness—both involving strange behavior, vocal mimicry, thrown objects, and creatures that seemed to know exactly how to keep their witnesses off balance.
The first account takes us to Troublesome Creek near the Susitna River, where Jenna and Mark began hearing something in the brush perfectly imitate Jenna’s laugh and Mark saying, “Stop that.” Mark soon caught sight of a broad, hunched, gray-white-haired humanoid moving through the trees and repeating Jenna’s giggle.
Then things escalated. Jenna spotted three smaller figures racing past them. A stick came flying from the brush, prompting her to fire her handgun, and the couple made a desperate retreat across the creek. As they tried to get away, Mark was struck squarely in the chest by a precisely thrown rock. Moments later, a powerful siren-like scream rolled through the valley.
Fred also shares the story of Rick, who traveled into the backcountry north of Tanana in late August to scatter his mother’s ashes. What began as a deeply personal trip turned frightening when something appeared to smother his campfire, watched him from behind a tree, and began tossing pinecones into the flames.
As the encounter continued, Rick became convinced that something was manipulating his route through the wilderness. After firing warning shots, he abandoned the trip and retreated to his pickup point, where he spent a long night listening to disturbing sounds in the darkness before catching an early flight out.
Two remote Alaska encounters. Two witnesses pushed to the breaking point. And two more stories suggesting that whatever people are encountering in the wilderness may be far more intelligent—and unpredictable—than expected.

Trucker Sees Bigfoot: Part Two
In Part Two of Brian’s conversation with Matt from Texas, the story moves from the highway encounter that changed his life to what happened when he began actively searching for answers.
Matt takes us onto a secluded 500-acre property along a Central Texas river, where he says the activity has continued throughout 2026. He has documented unusual tracks, broken limbs, possible tree structures, repeated wood knocks, and strange vocalizations—and some of his most compelling experiences have happened when he tried interacting with whatever may be out there.
On September 6, Matt heard a tree snap near the same area where he had encountered a powerful, unexplained odor months earlier. He moved toward the location while filming and says he was met with several seconds of an unmistakable growl, followed by roughly fifteen seconds of heavy breathing. He also describes experiments involving alleged Bigfoot recordings, including an “angry Bigfoot” vocalization and a strange humming sound.
Playing them into the woods appeared to trigger responses ranging from wood knocks to what Matt believed were heavy, bipedal footsteps moving nearby. Those experiences have also made him question whether attempting to provoke a reaction could damage the trust he believes he has slowly developed with the creatures on the property. Matt discusses tracks of noticeably different sizes that have led him to suspect there may be an adult female and a younger individual using the area.
He also recounts a May 17 sighting of a light reddish or copper-colored figure and a remarkable series of tree knocks recorded during the same outing.Then there is the evidence he discovered on his truck.On April 19, Matt found what appeared to be a large handprint on the vehicle. He carefully lifted the print with tape and later had it photographed and examined with assistance from local law enforcement.
He is now working with Doug Hajicek to explore whether material from the print could potentially be tested for DNA or skin oils.
From unexplained tracks and vocal responses to a fleeting sighting and a physical print that may still hold answers, Part Two follows Matt deeper into a mystery that began with one unforgettable Bigfoot encounter on a Texas highway—and has only become stranger since.
