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.

Trucker Sees Bigfoot
This week on Sasquatch Odyssey, Brian welcomes Matt from Texas for the first installment of a two-part interview about an encounter that completely changed the direction of his life.
On the morning of May 20, 2019, Matt was driving an 18-wheeler loaded with fuel south on Highway 84 between Abilene and Coleman, Texas. Severe storms and tornadoes had torn through the area two days earlier, and as Matt approached the small community of Silver Valley, his attention was focused on the damage along the highway.
Then he noticed what he first thought was a black bull near the road.A second look made him think it was an enormous hog. Then it stood and began walking.As Matt closed the distance, he realized he was looking at something unlike anything he had ever seen before: an enormous, jet-black, muscular figure moving upright through the bright green grass toward the tree line.
Matt estimates the creature stood between seven and a half and eight feet tall, with massive shoulders, extraordinarily thick arms and legs, and a body he believes could have weighed close to a thousand pounds.
For nearly a minute, Matt watched from the cab of his truck as the figure moved across the open ground. At his closest point, he estimates he was only about 50 to 75 yards away. Then it reached the woods and seemed to disappear into the darkness.
But the encounter didn't end there. After delivering his load in Coleman, Matt immediately headed back toward the location.
As he approached the area again, he encountered multiple sheriff's vehicles slowly driving the shoulders of the highway, appearing to search the same stretch of road where he had seen the creature. Matt has always wondered whether another motorist—or possibly a nearby road crew—had seen something that morning and called law enforcement. The experience sent Matt into a research journey that has now lasted more than seven years.
He returned to the encounter site, began studying reports from across Texas, attended the Texas Bigfoot Conference, and eventually had several personal conversations with the late Dr. Jeff Meldrum, whose advice to “never stop looking” became a guiding principle in Matt's search.
In Part One, Matt takes us through the sighting in remarkable detail—the creature's size, movement, muscle structure, unusual behavior, and the exact moments that transformed Bigfoot from something he barely thought about into something he says he knows is real. And this was only the beginning.
In Part Two, Matt's story moves beyond that first highway encounter and into seven years of boots-on-the-ground research, tracks, possible evidence, close-range activity, and another sighting in the Texas woods.

Bigfoot Killed The Sled Dogs
Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel is back with two disturbing “hairy man” accounts from remote Alaska. The first takes us to the Yukon River in 1986–87, where brothers Charles and Jacob were running skiffs for a guided hunting operation.
Near a remote transfer point, they spotted an enormous, unusually colored figure standing roughly 150 to 200 yards away. Covered in thick hair and far taller than any man, it suddenly stood and began moving rapidly in their direction.
The brothers ran for their boats. As Charles fought to restart a flooded outboard, Jacob fired a rifle shot in an attempt to scare the figure off. Their boss quickly came over the VHF, warning them to stop discussing what they had seen where hunting clients could hear.Later, back at camp, one of those clients quietly admitted that he had seen the same figure near the transfer area.
Fred also shares several shorter reports from around Ruby before turning to an even more unsettling story from the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta.
In 1958, a young winter caretaker named George was alone at a remote camp when his sled dogs suddenly became terrified. Over the following hours, three dogs disappeared, one was violently thrown onto the roof of the cabin, and George’s sled was torn apart.
Then something appeared at the window.George described a massive, heavily built creature with an intelligent, almost human expression staring back at him through the glass. Realizing he could no longer remain at the camp, he gathered the surviving dogs and escaped into the winter darkness by dogsled.
Two encounters separated by nearly thirty years, both from some of the most isolated country in Alaska, and both describing something far larger—and far more deliberate—than any ordinary animal.

Born Wild: Koda's Odyssey Vol 2 Part 7
Part Seven brings Born Wild: Koda’s Odyssey, Volume Two to a close while quietly opening the door to everything that comes next.
The story returns to the clearing where so much of Koda and Eli’s journey began, the same place where a frightened human boy once left gifts for a curious young sasquatch.
One year later, the two sit together and look back on everything they have built: the alliance, the sacrifices, the dangers, and a friendship that should never have been possible in the first place.
As Eli faces a choice between the life he has known and the one he is beginning to understand, the final chapter settles into a quieter, more reflective moment. It is an ending built around trust, connection, and the possibility that fear does not have to decide what happens when two very different worlds finally meet.
But Volume Two does not end there.
Once the main story closes, Part Seven shifts into an extended preview of Volume Three and reveals that someone believed to be dead is still alive. Far to the west, beneath the desert at a secret installation known as Site Seven, Adanowa has spent the last year imprisoned, cataloged, cut open, tested, and studied as if he were nothing more than a specimen.
Then, in the darkness beneath the facility, he finds something he never expected: an ally. Skull is a Dogman born in captivity, hardened by the only world he has ever known. Somehow, two creatures who should have every reason to distrust one another become the unlikeliest of friends.
Together, they find a way out.Their escape changes everything. Adanowa is now heading east, back toward the clans that once believed him lost, with Skull walking beside him. And that means he is returning home alongside the very kind of creature his people are already at war with.
The friendship forged beneath Site Seven is about to collide with old loyalties, old hatred, and a conflict that is far from over.
This is the end of Volume Two.It is also the beginning of the next chapter.

Bigfoot In Broad Daylight
Brian welcomes Linda from California and longtime Bigfoot researcher David Raygoza for a firsthand encounter and the investigation that followed.Linda shares how the Patterson-Gimlin film first sparked her interest in Bigfoot before strange experiences in the forests around Shasta and the Trinity Alps made the subject much more personal.
Then, on June 28 near the Shaver Lake area, she saw something she couldn't explain.Standing roughly 50 yards away in a meadow near power lines was an enormous, long-haired figure she estimated at 8 to 10 feet tall. Broad, muscular, and completely motionless, the creature remained in full daylight long enough for Linda to get a clear look.
When Linda later returned to the area, she connected with researcher David Raygoza. A former science teacher and high school principal with more than 25 years of Bigfoot research experience, including work with the BFRO, David investigated the site and discovered several barefoot tracks measuring approximately 12 to 15 inches long, some showing only four toes.
David also shares several of his own encounters from decades in the field, including a remarkable 15-minute observation, an encounter with a massive individual he describes as an “old man,” a younger Sasquatch filmed near an apple, and a small juvenile.
He also recounts a strange investigation near Henry Cowell State Park involving a movie director, unexplained nighttime activity, and mysterious footprints.
For Linda, the experience wasn't terrifying. It left her even more curious—and more willing to trust the inner voice that sometimes tells her when it's time to leave the woods.

Bigfoot and the Lost Hours
Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel is back with one of the strangest and most unsettling wilderness stories he has shared yet. Curtis, James, and their friend Mike had spent years saving for the chance to fly into a remote stretch of Alaska near the Kuskokwim River.
What was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime quickly turned into something none of them could explain. Soon after arriving, Curtis heard Mike and James talking outside the tent, only to discover neither man was there.
From that point forward, the trip became increasingly bizarre. The three men experienced an unexplained lapse in time, confusion over what they had been doing, boots that seemed to have been switched, Mike’s boots disappearing entirely, and rifles turning up in places where no one remembered leaving them.
Then came the sounds. Powerful screams carried through the wilderness. Strange whistles circled the camp. Something repeatedly swiped at the tent with what sounded like a large hand. In the darkness, the men spotted distant eye shine that appeared green before shifting to red.
Gear continued to disappear, including their camp stove, while Mike began waking up away from the others on a nearby game trail with no memory of how he had gotten there.
The group eventually moved camp, but whatever had been following them seemed to move with them. Mike’s missing boots were suddenly thrown back into camp, and later a large, dark, hairy figure briefly grabbed the tent and pulled at it before disappearing into the darkness.
By the time their pilot returned, Curtis, James, and Mike were desperate to leave. But the story did not end when the plane arrived. The pilot also spotted a large dark figure near the camp and made an even more disturbing admission: this was not the first time people flying into that area had reported seeing something unusual.
Missing time. Stolen gear. Mimicked voices. Strange lights in the darkness. And something large moving just beyond the edge of camp.
This is a remote Alaska trip that went wrong in ways none of them were prepared for.

Born Wild: Koda's Odyssey Vol 2 Part 6
Part Six of Born Wild: Koda's Odyssey, Volume Two settles into the hardest work in the whole story, and there isn't a single punch thrown in it.
The emergency council runs deep past midnight, and for the first time sasquatch, Dog men, and humans are all in the same clearing trying to build something instead of tearing it down.
The immediate crisis has passed. Dask's offer of cooperation has been met, cautiously, and now comes the part nobody's good at.
The details. Where the boundaries fall, what counts as a violation, who answers for it when someone crosses a line. None of these peoples has ever trusted the others, and every one of them has a reason not to start now.
Into that standoff steps an unlikely figure. Eli, the boy with no rank and no claws and no official standing, turns out to be the one voice all three sides can hear, precisely because he threatens none of them. What he offers isn't strength. It's a different way of looking at a problem the older ones have been too angry, or too proud, to solve.
This is the quiet center of the book, where the story stops asking who can win a fight and starts asking whether old enemies can actually choose something better.
The answer doesn't come easy, and it doesn't come clean, and the forest beyond the firelight hasn't stopped being dangerous just because a few of them decided to talk.
What gets built here is fragile. Whether it holds is a question for the road still ahead.

Bigfoot In North Carolina
In this episode, Brian welcomes two guests with remarkable Bigfoot encounters that span decades and stretch from the mountains of North Carolina to the swamps of Connecticut.
First, North Carolina truck driver Dwayne shares a startling daylight sighting along Highway 18 near Kings Creek School. Traveling the familiar two-lane road in late April roughly two years ago, Dwayne watched an estimated eight-foot-tall, black, powerfully built creature cross the highway directly in front of him.
In only five or six enormous strides, it covered the road, stepped over a roughly three-foot guardrail without breaking pace, and disappeared into the thick woods on the opposite side. The encounter sent Dwayne searching through local Bigfoot reports, Appalachian folklore, and stories passed down through families around the Linville Gorge, Watauga County, and the surrounding North Carolina mountains.
That search leads Brian into the historical record and an old newspaper story Dwayne remembered as dating to 1888. While investigating the claim, Brian uncovers a verified December 14, 1877, account from the Charlotte Daily Observer, reprinted from the Statesville Landmark, describing a mysterious “Wild Man” reportedly seen prospecting in the Globe Valley near Blowing Rock.
Witnesses described a hairy figure beating its chest and retreating toward a cave, offering a fascinating glimpse into Appalachian wild-man traditions decades before the term “Bigfoot” entered the American vocabulary.
Brian also examines how seriously these nineteenth-century reports should be taken in an era when sensational newspaper stories and outright hoaxes were common. From there, the conversation explores Daniel Boone’s famous late-life story of encountering and killing what he reportedly called a “Yahoo,” the heavily publicized 1978 and 1979 sightings of the creature known as “Nobby” near Carpenter’s Knob, and a much more recent 911 report from 2010.
Then Brian welcomes Steve, now living in North Carolina, who takes the story back to 1986 and one of the closest encounters ever shared on the show. While stationed at a submarine facility in Connecticut, Steve went squirrel hunting before daylight in the Assetunk Swamp. As morning arrived, he heard something moving through the woods and initially assumed it was a deer.
Instead, an enormous hairy figure stepped across the trail less than thirty feet away. Steve estimates the creature stood at least nine feet tall, with dark skin, heavy hair, and a surprisingly human-looking face. Rather than immediately retreating, Steve moved closer, eventually getting within roughly fifteen feet before the creature looked down at him and exploded through the woods with enough force to sound, in his words, like a bulldozer.
When Steve circled ahead and unknowingly cut off its path, the encounter changed. The creature unleashed a deep growl powerful enough that Steve says he could feel it throughout his body. Armed only with a sixteen-gauge double-barrel shotgun, he decided it was time to back away.Steve continued hunting the area afterward without another direct confrontation, but his experiences did not end in Connecticut.
Since returning to North Carolina, he describes unexplained tree movements, possible vocalizations, strange nighttime sounds, unusual activity around his property, and other incidents that have kept him interested in the mystery.
His approach, however, remains skeptical. Steve prefers going into the woods without assuming Bigfoot is responsible for every unexplained sound or broken branch, looking instead for evidence and conventional explanations first.
Brian and Steve also discuss one of the biggest divisions within modern Bigfoot research: whether these creatures are undiscovered biological animals or something far stranger.
Both remain skeptical of claims involving portals, cloaking, interdimensional travel, and extraterrestrial connections without physical evidence to support them. The conversation turns to the continuing absence of a confirmed body or scientifically accepted DNA sample, and the frustration that comes from decades of extraordinary eyewitness testimony without the definitive physical evidence needed to settle the question.
From an eight-foot figure crossing a North Carolina highway in broad daylight to a nine-foot creature standing only yards from a hunter in a Connecticut swamp, this episode connects modern encounters with more than a century of Appalachian stories about wild men, hairy giants, and unexplained creatures lurking just beyond the tree line.

Alaska Hairy Man
Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch channel returns with two unsettling “hairy man” encounters from the Alaska wilderness, separated by more than three decades but carrying some striking similarities.
The first comes from Doug, a retired guide pilot who recalls a hunting trip roughly 35 years ago near Bear Creek in the Rampart Mountains. After one of his clients spotted what appeared to be a dead bear below a ridge, the couple insisted on hiking in for photographs. What they found instead was a strong, overpowering odor, signs that something large had been lying in the brush, and eventually a massive, dark-faced, long-haired humanoid crouched below them.
When the woman accidentally dropped her camera toward the creature, it responded by throwing a rock back in their direction before disappearing through the terrain.
The encounter did not end there. As the terrified couple rushed back toward Doug’s Piper Cub, the creature reportedly reappeared near the aircraft and was seen running alongside the plane as Doug accelerated for takeoff.
By the time they were airborne, the couple wanted nothing more to do with the hunt and demanded to leave Alaska altogether.
Fred then shares a much more recent account from Krista and Mike, who were e-biking along the Denali Highway near Cantwell and the Montague Flats when the atmosphere around them suddenly changed. Both began feeling as though they were being watched before spotting a large, grizzled figure covered in reddish-brown and gray hair standing in the brush. The figure grunted, moved toward them, and appeared to pursue them as they rode away.
Farther down the trail, they saw it again crossing ahead of them and watching from a distance. Then came the sound neither of them could easily explain: a powerful rising scream they compared to an air-raid siren echoing across the Alaska backcountry.
Two encounters. Two generations of witnesses. And two stories from some of the most remote country in North America where something large, intelligent, and very much alive may still be moving through the wilderness.
