Based on true events. In August of 1976, three teenagers driving an isolated road outside Whitehall, New York came face to face with a seven-foot creature with glowing red eyes. They did what no one in a monster story is supposed to do — they went straight to the police. And within days, the police saw it too. Trained officers. State troopers. Spotlights. Official reports. What happened on Abair Road turned a tiny Adirondack village into the Bigfoot Capital of the Northeast — a town that eventually passed a law making it illegal to harm the creature. But not everyone who met the Beast of Whitehall drove away with a story. Locals still speak of the ones the woods kept — and of a rifle found leaning against a tree, unfired. Join Carman Carrion for the true story of the Abair Road incident, thepolice officer who couldn't pull the trigger, and the town that chose toprotect its monster. #Whitehall #NewYork #Bigfoot #Sasquatch #AbairRoad #DestinationTerror #Cryptid #BigfootSighting #Adirondacks #BigfootCapital #BeastOfWhitehall #CryptidEncounters #TrueHorror #RealTerror #ParanormalPodcast #HorrorPodcast#DarkHistory #UnexplainedMysteries #CreepyHistory #Eeriecast #CarmanCarrion #TrueStories #Unexplained #MonsterSighting #PoliceReport #SasquatchFestival #HauntedNewYork #Folklore #ListenNow #Spooky EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT:Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folkloreCarman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terrorSUPPORT THE SHOW:Patreon (Ad-Free + Bonus Content): https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrionBuy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrionCONNECT WITH CARMAN:Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrionTwitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQYiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184Your support helps bring you moreterrifying tales.DISCOVER MORE HORROR:http://eeriecast.com/https://www.carman-carrion.com/THE CRYPT SHOP:https://the-crypt-shop-2.myshopify.com/MUSIC CREDITS:Music and sound effects provided by:CO.AG, Myuu, Jinglepunks, Epidemic Sound, Kevin MacLeod, Dark Music, andSoundstripe.  Learn more about your ad choices.
