SO EP:661 The Others
In this chilling episode, we share six first-hand encounters that go far beyond blurry photos or footprints. These are raw, emotional testimonies from ordinary people forever changed by what they witnessed in North America’s wild places.
A wildlife biologist loses drones and trail cameras to unseen figures in the Cascades. A school bus driver quits after decades on the road when children begin sketching the same figure they all saw in the fog.
A teenager finds strange comfort from a massive presence during a family crisis. A retiree in West Virginia is driven from her land by relentless harassment and towering shapes. A Tennessee hunter discovers hidden valleys guarded by something ancient. And a seasoned camper uncovers chilling evidence of mimicry deep in the Boundary Waters.
These stories reveal patterns of intelligence, intent, and an ancient presence watching us from the shadows. Some people are merely observed, others warned, and some are forced to leave. Each account challenges our belief that the wilderness is fully known and mapped.
This isn’t about proving Bigfoot exists—it’s about listening to those whose lives were altered by the impossible.
Whether you believe or doubt, these encounters will make you rethink that primal feeling of being watched in the woods.
Turn off the lights, put on your headphones, and prepare to confront the unknown.

SO EP:658 Bigfoot Encounters from America's Midwest
Tonight, we head into the Midwest—where cornfields meet deep forests, and something on two legs walks where it shouldn’t exist. From Illinois’ Big Muddy Monster and the Cole Hollow Road Monster, to Michigan’s Dogman and countless Bigfoot sightings, the heartland has proven just as strange as any swamp or mountain.We’ll revisit the chilling Beast of Bray Road, the eerie Van Meter Visitor with its glowing horn, and the Lockridge Monster’s unsettling appetite.
From Wendigo legends in Minnesota to a Missouri sheriff’s secret 1998 encounter in the Mark Twain National Forest, the stories are as bizarre as they are unforgettable.Along the way, we examine the physical evidence, the role of new technologies like eDNA, and the lasting impact these encounters have on communities.
Are these creatures real, misunderstood, or something else entirely? One thing is certain: somewhere in the Midwest tonight, something is walking through the fields and forests—and it doesn’t match anything science can explain.

SO EP:655 Bigfoot In The Southern Woods
Growing up in the north Georgia mountains in the 1980s, I had an encounter that changed everything I thought I knew about the world. Something massive, walking on two legs, chased me out of the woods when I was twelve years old. That terrifying experience sent me down a decades-long rabbit hole, researching and collecting stories from across the American Southeast.
In this episode, I share my personal encounter along with the haunting story of Mr. Brown, a Summerville carpenter who came face-to-face with an injured eight-foot-tall creature while hunting ginseng in 1986. We explore the hidden history of Sasquatch sightings throughout Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and the Carolinas, from ancient Cherokee legends of Tsul 'Kalu to modern-day encounters captured on police dash cams.
Despite what skeptics claim about the Southeast being too developed for unknown primates to exist, the evidence tells a different story. We examine compelling accounts from the Minnehaha Falls incident, the Florida Skunk Ape photographs, Tennessee's Flintville Monster siege, and hundreds of other documented encounters that mainstream science refuses to acknowledge. From the vast wilderness of the Great Smoky Mountains to the impenetrable Everglades, these creatures have been seen by thousands of credible witnesses over centuries.
This isn't about proving anything to anybody. This is about the truth of what people have experienced in the shadows of the Southern woods, and why these ancient mysteries deserve our respect, not our ridicule.
Because sometimes, in those quiet moments when the fog rolls through the hollows and the modern world feels far away, we're reminded that we don't know everything about the forests we call home.

SO EP:649 Not All Bigfoot Are Alike
Tonight, we bring you six firsthand encounters that challenge everything you think you know about Sasquatch stories. No howling in the night, no massive footprints, no blurry photographs. Instead, these accounts from timber workers, truck drivers, and Forest Service employees reveal something far more unsettling: evidence of intelligence, curiosity, and perhaps even attempts at communication from something that shouldn't exist.We begin in the timber lands of Coos County, Oregon, where a harvester operator discovered bent trees that defied physics and later found unexplainable hair wrapped in his equipment. From there, we travel Highway 97 through central Oregon with a truck driver who encountered something that walked like a man but stood eight feet tall and could keep pace with his moving vehicle.
The third account takes us to a remote Forest Service monitoring station that was dragged thirty feet from its foundation by something strong enough to dent quarter-inch steel with what appeared to be handprints.The stories grow progressively stranger as we hear from a fisherman on the Klamath River who woke to find river rocks stacked in perfect spirals around his camp, followed by a ski patroller who tracked something walking upright through deep snow at angles that should have been impossible to climb.
Our final and perhaps most disturbing account comes from a man who inherited his grandfather's remote cabin, along with forty years of journals documenting an ongoing attempt at communication with something that was learning to speak human words.These aren't the Bigfoot stories you've heard before.
There's no dramatic monster reveal, no chase through the woods, no triumphant evidence collected. Instead, these are quiet accounts of boundaries crossed, of intelligence observed, and of evidence that conveniently disappears whenever proof might threaten the carefully maintained secret of something living alongside us in the vast forests of the Pacific Northwest. Each storyteller was forever changed by their experience, left with questions that have no comfortable answers and knowledge they can't quite reconcile with the ordinary world.
A word of caution: these stories were selected specifically because they don't fit the usual narrative. They suggest something more complex than a hidden primate, something that watches us with the same intensity we search for it. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, these accounts will leave you reconsidering what might be out there in the darkness between the trees.

SO EP:646 Into The Darkness
Tonight's story comes from a mother named Sarah who reached out to me through a mutual acquaintance after years of keeping silent about what happened to her family in the remote forests of Alabama. When she first contacted me, she could barely get through the telling without breaking down, especially when describing the night she heard her own voice calling her youngest son into the darkness—while she was standing right beside him.
Sarah and her two boys, ages ten and twelve, fled to an inherited cabin in the Bankhead National Forest to escape an abusive relationship. What should have been a healing retreat in nature became a two-month ordeal that defies conventional explanation. The creatures that stalked her family didn't just throw rocks or make strange vocalizations—they learned. They studied. They mimicked the family's voices with perfect accuracy, always trying to lure one of them outside.
What makes Sarah's account particularly disturbing is the apparent intelligence behind these encounters. These weren't random animal behaviors but calculated attempts to separate and take her youngest son, Ben. The female creature that Sarah describes seemed to be mourning a lost child of her own, leading to questions about what these beings actually are and what they truly wanted with a human boy. The historical pattern Sarah uncovered in old newspaper archives—children vanishing in that exact area for decades—adds another layer of horror to her experience.
Each disappearance left behind the same massive footprints that were always dismissed by authorities. Some reports even describe tall, hair-covered figures seen with smaller companions that looked almost, but not quite, human. Three years later, Ben still dreams about the "forest mommy" who called to him.
At sixteen, he's drawn to wooded areas in ways that terrify his mother, and during a recent camping trip, teachers found him standing at the forest's edge at 3 AM, fully awake, listening to something only he could hear calling from the darkness.Sarah's story raises uncomfortable questions about the nature of these beings and their interest in our children.
Are they simply animals operating on instinct? Or are they something more complex—intelligent enough to plan, patient enough to wait, and alien enough that we may never understand their true intentions?As always, I leave it to you to decide what you believe. But Sarah's warning bears repeating: if you ever hear a familiar voice calling from the darkness, especially if it sounds like someone you know is standing right beside you, don't answer. Some things that watch us from the forests have learned our voices, and they're very, very patient.

SO EP:643 The Ginseng Hunters Confession
This epiosde 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.
