Last weekend, I was back in one of my favorite places, Bantam Lake, in Litchfield, Connecticut. We were there to go to Robin Hood's Medieval Faire in Harwinton, and to camp at Point Folly. But anytime I'm in Bantam, my thoughts always turn to UFO sightings in the area, and the infamous UFO crash at Bantam Lake in 2012. I've discussed my own strange sightings there in previous episodes, but this week I'm looking at other UFO sightings in the area, as well as recounting some personal stories from members of my audience, all of whom witnessed the Bantam UFO firsthand, as it happened.

While many Bigfoot sightings can make for very compelling witness testimony, there are always alleged encounters with the creature that are much less so. Sometimes the Sasquatch is seen at a great distance, sometimes it closely resembles a bear, and on rare occasions, a case can be made for it simply being a man in a gorilla suit. For our 200th episode, I'm examining some Bigfoot sightings that probably weren't actually Bigfoot. I look at a collection of stories from Maine, West Virginia, New Jersey, Georgia, Missouri, and Ohio, where the creature that was seen doesn't really resemble the Bigfoot we all know and love. And one story that may surprise you, so stick around till the end! Bigfoot? Bear? Man in a suit?

Maine has a long history of Bigfoot sightings, but locals tend to stay tight-lipped about their experiences. So this week I'm collecting stories from all over the state, including York, Hancock, Androscoggin, and Penobscot counties! And we have lots of roadside stories this week: Two sisters see Sasquatch standing on the side of the road near Bucksport; a man collecting firewood on his grandmother's property is startled by Bigfoot standing behind him; two men driving near Poland spot Bigfoot in some bushes near an intersection; friends driving to a club on night in Turner see a Bigfoot trying to cross the road; and a woman driving near Bangor sees a Bigfoot crossing the highway.

I just got back from a trip to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where we stayed at the historic Rose Farm. This site, comprised of the farm, the legendary Wheatfield, and Rose Woods, saw some of the fiercest fighting of the battle on July 2nd, 1863. Thousands of men were wounded and died here, and hundreds were buried on the Wheatfield, Rose Farm, and even right outside the Rose House itself. After the battle, the house remained a field hospital for wounded soldiers. Due to all the death and tragedy that happened there, many people believe the area to be haunted by the spirits of the soldiers who lost their lives there. In this episode, I recount some of my own spooky encounters at Gettysburg, including experiences at the Rose Farm, some stories related to me by other visitors, and accounts of paranormal activity people have reported online.

The Pine Barrens of New Jersey are home to one of cryptozoology's most famous cryptids, the Jersey Devil. But the Pinelands are also home to many other creepy legends and folklore, including ghost stories, UFO sightings, and of course, Bigfoot. So this week I'm taking a look at some Bigfoot sightings in Ocean County! A couple has a daytime sighting near Brown Mills; two men see a gray Bigfoot chasing deer as they drive to work; two teens spot Bigfoot near a streetlamp in their Brick neighborhood; teenagers come across a red-eyed Bigfoot at night; and a boy riding his bike sees a gray Bigfoot in Manahawkin. Plus I discuss our recent trip to the Smithville Renaissance Faire, a prelude to the New Jersey Ren Faire, where I got some sweet Jersey Devil merch!Chapters:0:00 - Intro2:24 - The Pine Barrens, The Jersey Devil, and Historic Smithville7:23 - Woman and her husband see Sasquatch in the rearview mirror 18:11 - Two men driving to work see Bigfoot chasing deer26:27 - Teens watch Bigfoot stand up under a streetlamp34:21 - Teens in Jackson spot a Bigfoot with red eyes41:43 - A boy biking through the Pine Barrens is stared down by Bigfoot46:44 - Final Thoughts: The different types of Bigfoot in the Pine Barrens?#bigfoot #pinebarrens #newjersey Links!Follow us on Social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oddanduntold/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oddanduntoldWebsite: https://www.oddanduntold.comEmail me! : [email protected] Jersey Devil | Contemporary SightingsBigfoot Researcher Mike FamilantBigfoot Sightings in New Jersey | Burlington CountyBFRO Ocean County, NJCheck out Riversend, the band behind "Moonlight," our awesome theme music!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1yIwfeu2cH1kDZaMYxKOUe?si=NIUijnmsQe6LNWOsfZ2jPwRiversend Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RiversendbandRiversend Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riversendband/

I'm extending my stay in Central New York this week as I take a look at some Bigfoot sightings in Otsego and Chenango counties! Plus I share a personal story about a strange thumping sound Josh and I heard while camping in Basswood Pond State Forest a few weeks back. But we have some really weird Bigfoot sightings this week! A woman sees Bigfoot passing by her bedroom window on a sunny morning; a man and his two younger brothers hear weird howls and see a dark figure while camping; a boy and his dog watch a Sasquatch walking up a hill behind their home; and three friends see a tall Bigfoot walking down a road near their home one evening.

Central New York state is no stranger to UFO sightings, and this week I'm looking at reports from the Mohawk Valley Region and Ostego County. The Mohawk River cuts in between the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains, and Ostego County sits just south of the river. In this episode, I examine a video of a white orb and a Christmas Eve sighting in Burlington Flats, as well as numerous red, orange, and amber-colored lights from the Cooperstown area. What are people seeing in the skies of the Leatherstocking Region of New York?Chapters:0:21 - Intro: Nick Pope and UFOs of New York2:16 - Ostego County, Cooperstown, & Burlington Flats4:31 - White Orb UFO seen in Burlington Flats11:10 - Seven UFOs seen on Christmas Eve15:01 - Rectangle craft seen over Ostego Lake17:47 - Red light moving fast over Cooperstown21:56 - Orange light reverses course23:38 - Scientists say shooting star behaves oddly29:11 - Final Thoughts: Reddish-orange lights over the Mohawk Valley#ufo #newyork #ostegoLinks!Follow us on Social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oddanduntold/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oddanduntoldWebsite: https://www.oddanduntold.comEmail me! : [email protected] Encounter in the Mohawk Valley, New YorkHigh Strangeness at Bantam LakeBigfoot Sightings Around ChristmasBigfoot Sightings Around ThanksgivingParanormal Campfire Chat: Basswood PondBurlington Flats UFO VideoCheck out Riversend, the band behind "Moonlight," our awesome theme music!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1yIwfeu2cH1kDZaMYxKOUe?si=NIUijnmsQe6LNWOsfZ2jPwRiversend Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RiversendbandRiversend Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riversendband/

It's time for another paranormal campfire chat! This trip, Josh and I camped at Basswood Pond State Forest in Otsego County, New York. Part of the Mohawk Valley region of New York State, Basswood Pond is a small, man-made body of water in a secluded park. While not as wild or remote as some of our past trips to the Adirondacks, we were still pretty isolated from the dreaded civilization. While there have been Bigfoot sightings in Otsego County, we start this episode off by discussing some alleged Bigfoot howls that were recorded around the pond in 1976. And as with all of our campfire chats, we end up discussing a whole range of topics: out-of-place animals, spooky sounds in the woods, atheism and how it's tied to paranormal skepticism, the current Patterson-Gimlin film controversy, conspiracy theories, and much more! Plus we hear a strange sound that's caught on audio while we were recording! So grab your favorite drink and enjoy the crackle of the campfire, some spooky stories, and the fact that you are far warmer (and safer) than we were while recording this episode!Chapters:1:13 - Bigfoot howls at Basswood Pond8:47 - A gray wolf shot near Cooperstown14:32 - Spooky sounds in the woods and why they are so creepy21:40 - Our weird find near the day use area23:20 - The wildlife at Basswood Pond: beavers, deer, ticks, and more27:20 - Atheism, skepticism, and changing one's opinion41:06 - Rethinking the Patterson-Gimlin footage43:48 - Strange splash in the pond just feet from us45:25 - Conspiracy theories and circular reasoning#bigfoot #camping #basswoodpondLinks!Follow us on Social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oddanduntold/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oddanduntoldWebsite: https://www.oddanduntold.comEmail me! : [email protected] Campfire Chat with Josh Diaz | Bigfoot Encounter at Good Luck Lake & MoreBigfoot Encounters While CampingPatterson-Gimlin Film ControversyBigfoot Sightings in New York | Lewis, Oneida, and Madison CountiesOfficials confirm wild wolf killed in Otsego County1976, Basswood Pond State Forest, New York: Bigfoot Captured on TapeCheck out Riversend, the band behind "Moonlight," our awesome theme music!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1yIwfeu2cH1kDZaMYxKOUe?si=NIUijnmsQe6LNWOsfZ2jPwRiversend Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RiversendbandRiversend Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riversendband/

Camping can be a fun, leisurely activity for people and families, but many Bigfoot encounters happen while people are simply camping and trying to enjoy the great outdoors. This week I'm taking a look at 4 spooky encounters with Sasquatch while people were out camping. Stories include two men camping at the Upper Chattahoochee Wildlife Management area who have a large branch thrown at their campfire, moments before they see the creature; two cousins in their pickup truck see Bigfoot in their headlights standing behind a tent in Powell Park on Lake Sam Rayburn; a couple has a strange visitor touching them through the walls of their tent in Albee Creek Campground, California; and a group camping in the Wind River Work Center in Skamania County hear strange calls and then see Bigfoot near their camp.

This week I'm taking a look at some UFO sightings in a place that is near and dear to my heart, Litchfield County in Connecticut! I've been camping summers at Bantam Lake my entire life, and my buddy Shawn is from the Torrington & Harwinton area, so I decided to focus on some UFO sightings in those towns. Shawn is a talented artist who makes fly fishing lures but also creates cryptid and paranormal artwork, even detailing his own UFO encounter in Connecticut. Strange craft are frequently seen in the skies of the Constitution State, and a large portion of them seem to be the black triangle variety. What do you think is going on in the skies of Connecticut?Chapters:3:06 - Torrington & Harwinton4:54 - Astronomer spots strange red UFO over Torrington, similar to what I saw over Bantam Lake12:18 - Triangle UFO with 3 white lights18:09 - Woman in Harwinton spots huge triangle craft over her house22:54 - Oval UFO spotted by driver25:49 - Triangular craft with very bright lights29:32 - Triangle UFO flying fast over the tree line 33:47 - Final thoughts: Why so many UFOs in Litchfield County?#ufosightings #connecticut #uapLinks!Follow us on Social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oddanduntold/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oddanduntoldWebsite: https://www.oddanduntold.comEmail me! : [email protected] Crash at Bantam Lake?Black Triangle UFO Over BrooklynInvestigating the Bantam Lake UFOHigh Strangeness at Bantam LakeConnecticut Bigfoot Sightings | Litchfield CountyFind and follow Shawn on Instagram!https://www.instagram.com/bootrout/https://www.instagram.com/themystifiedmonk/NUFORC Torrington ReportsNUFORC Harwinton ReportsCheck out Riversend, the band behind "Moonlight," our awesome theme music!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1yIwfeu2cH1kDZaMYxKOUe?si=NIUijnmsQe6LNWOsfZ2jPwRiversend Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RiversendbandRiversend Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riversendband/
