Part Four of Born Wild: Koda's Odyssey, Volume Two takes the alliance out of the meeting ground and into the dark, where good intentions stop counting for much and skill is the only thing that keeps you alive. It opens with Eli's first real night patrol, and the forest is not kind to him.Where Koda moves through the black between the trees like water around stone, Eli crashes through it like a wounded elk, learning the hard way that eyes are almost useless out there and that everything he thought he knew about the woods was daylight knowledge.Koda becomes his teacher, and the lessons are patient but unforgiving, because both of them understand that a single mistake in the wrong moment could expose everything they've built. This is where the fragile alliance stops being an idea and starts becoming real work.The humans have to earn their place, prove they can be an asset instead of a liability, and every close call out in the dark is a test of whether two species can truly watch each other's backs.But the forest holds more than lessons, and the deeper Koda and Eli push into the night, the clearer it becomes that neither the Dogmen nor the humans at the tree line have gone anywhere. The quiet is only ever borrowed, and the price of protecting something wild keeps climbing.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Brian welcomes Craig and Paul of Penn-Ohio Cryptid Research to share the experiences that pulled them into the world of Bigfoot investigation and the strange encounters that have kept them searching. Paul’s fascination began after watching The Legend of Boggy Creek in 1972, while Craig’s interest was sparked by the famous Patterson-Gimlin film.What began as curiosity eventually turned into hands-on field research across Pennsylvania and Ohio.Their investigations have produced some unsettling moments. During one of their first outings on private property, Craig and Paul spotted brilliant amber eyeshine near a creek before a large rock suddenly landed between them.They took the hint and left the area. On another investigation, they discovered a series of nearly 14-inch, five-toed footprints with an unusual deformity in the left foot and an estimated 54-inch stride. The tracks were found near a massive A-frame log structure positioned along a cliff, adding another layer of mystery to the site.Craig and Paul also discuss recordings they have collected in the field, including wood knocks, whoops, whistles, and a terrifying scream that appeared to come from the hillside above them. Other incidents include red eyeshine spotted high in a tree, repeated rock throwing, twisted saplings, a freshly snapped living tree, unexplained equipment failures, foul odors, unusual lights and silhouettes captured on trail cameras, and a strange phenomenon in which portions of the surrounding landscape appeared to glow.The conversation also explores several compelling eyewitness accounts, including a daytime sighting of a tall, brownish-gray figure in Pennsylvania’s Cook Forest, a hunter’s story of seeing what he believed was a Bigfoot carrying a deer, and eerie photographs showing unexplained shadows and what appear to be visible eyes. Craig and Paul even describe hearing distant giggling in the woods, raising the possibility that younger or juvenile Sasquatch could have been nearby.Despite the unusual nature of their experiences, Craig and Paul stress the importance of skepticism, careful investigation, and allowing the evidence to speak for itself. They also explain why they protect the exact locations of their research sites, both to respect private property and to reduce the possibility of hoaxing or contamination.To follow their investigations, evidence, and upcoming fieldwork, listeners can find Penn-Ohio Cryptid Research on Facebook.Penn Ohio Cryptid Research Facebook PageEmail BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back with two chilling sibling-reported encounters from remote Alaska, and both stories escalate far beyond a simple glimpse in the woods.The first account comes from Gabe and Rhonda, lifelong berry pickers in their 60s who were gathering berries in Alaska’s interior when Gabe dozed off while keeping watch for bears. He woke to something far more unsettling—a large, dark, hairy figure moving along the treeline. What began as a distant sighting quickly turned into a tense retreat as the group raced back on four-wheelers and became convinced the figure was shadowing them, circling through the surrounding woods and staying just out of clear view.Near the parking area, Rhonda fired a pistol shot as the encounter intensified. Then came one of the strangest moments of the night: from the nearby trees, something appeared to mimic a grunt Gabe had made earlier. An older relative with the group offered advice that was simple, eerie, and deeply rooted in experience—ignore it, stay calm, and “sing happy songs.”Fred’s second story comes from Tatiana and Nikolai near Yakutat, where the activity was even more aggressive. It began with marble-sized rocks seemingly thrown from the woods, striking Robert and Nikolai. Soon afterward came a shrill sound, a dark figure appearing at a window, and the inexplicable disappearance of a generator. When the generator suddenly came flying back toward Nikolai, the situation took a much more dangerous turn.The encounters continued with a close sighting from the deck of a wrinkled, broad-nosed, hair-covered face staring back at them. Their dog, Roscoe, briefly disappeared. Their skiff was later found overturned. Even after leaving the property, the strange activity wasn’t finished. When they eventually returned with a friend, he too was struck by a thrown rock.That was enough. They ultimately sold the property, making sure the new owner knew exactly what had happened there.wo remote locations. Two families. And a series of encounters involving stalking behavior, vocal mimicry, thrown objects, close-range sightings, and something in the Alaskan wilderness that seemed determined to make its presence known.SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube ChannelEmail BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Part Three of Born Wild: Koda's Odyssey, Volume Two turns away from the battlefield and toward something far more dangerous. Trust.It starts with a note left under a stone. Eli's parents have learned the truth about Koda, and the boy who kept the secret for three years wants to arrange a meeting.Mira begs Koda to walk away, to move deeper into the forest the way the clans always have when humans get too close. But Koda has just watched sasquatch die to defend this territory, and he's done running. If contact with the human world is coming either way, he'd rather it come on his own terms, with people who already understand.So Koda makes a choice his father can barely stomach, and everything begins to change. What grows out of that first meeting is something no sasquatch alive has ever dared to build, a fragile alliance between two species who were never supposed to know each other, held together by a handful of humans willing to risk everything to protect something wild and hidden.This is the quiet heart of the book, where the story stops being about who wins a fight and starts being about who's brave enough to cross a line. But an alliance this young is a fragile thing, and the forest has never cared about fragile things.By the time this stretch of the road ends, a boy sits at his window looking out at the dark, and somewhere in that same darkness, Koda looks back.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

In this episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, Brian welcomes Carl from Maine, whose lifelong fascination with Bigfoot took a much darker turn after he moved from Hawaii to southwest Utah in 2017. Living near Dixie National Forest and becoming involved in local church leadership brought Carl into contact with people who had their own unsettling stories, including Bigfoot researcher Jack McCarty.Carl describes being shown unusual evidence from the area, including an enormous 24-inch track with an estimated 60-inch stride that appeared to cross a barbed-wire fence before abruptly ending in the middle of a snow-covered meadow. He also recalls seeing a massive handprint pressed into damp dust, complete with what appeared to be visible fingernails.Around the same time, he overheard local ranchers quietly discussing something killing calves during drought cycles and heard a trusted acquaintance from church describe a huge figure crossing Highway 18 near Dammeron.Then Carl had an encounter of his own. At dusk, he spotted two towering beings near the roadside with faces he describes as disturbingly human yet chimp-like. What stayed with him was not only what he saw, but the overwhelming fear that followed and an intrusive thought that seemed to enter his mind: “You’re not supposed to see me.”That experience forced Carl to reconsider everything he believed about Sasquatch. Rather than viewing the phenomenon as simply an undiscovered flesh-and-blood animal, he began questioning whether something stranger—and possibly malevolent—might be involved.His conclusions also brought new meaning to an earlier encounter experienced by his brother at a Scout camp, an event Carl believes profoundly changed the course of his brother’s life.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel returns with two unsettling encounter reports from the Alaskan wilderness. The first story follows Jeanette and Ross as they hike a well-traveled trail leading from the highway toward the North Kenai River and Skilak Lake area. What begins with strange whispering in the woods quickly escalates into loud, unintelligible gibberish coming from somewhere nearby.Then, without warning, an explosive scream erupts from behind them with enough force to make both hikers buckle.Ross immediately reaches for bear spray, but there is nothing visible to confront. As the couple begins retreating, the activity continues. A large log appears to shift as though something has pushed it, more screams echo through the area, and Ross catches a brief glimpse of a large, dark figure near the trail with a bulky build and distinctly human-like shoulders.The encounter becomes even more disturbing when they meet another group on the trail who also heard the scream and strange vocalizations and ultimately help escort Jeanette and Ross out of the area.Fred then shares an anonymous account involving two active-duty military hunters near Alaska’s Gulkana River.During their trip, the men notice what appears to be a strange fire made from spruce boughs and decide to investigate. As they approach, they encounter extremely tall figures in the darkness and begin hearing unusual deep chirping sounds.At least one of the figures is described as roughly ten feet tall, covered in black, and unlike anything the hunters expected to find in the wilderness. The situation becomes tense enough that warning shots are fired. Soon afterward, the men discover a snowmachine overturned and later pursue a remarkably fast-moving figure traveling across deep snow with apparent ease.What initially seems connected to the disappearance of their friends takes another unexpected turn when the missing men are eventually located drinking in town, leaving the hunters with even more questions about exactly what they encountered along the Gulkana River.Two remote areas. Multiple witnesses. Strange vocalizations, towering figures, and behavior that does not easily fit any familiar animal. Were these encounters with Sasquatch, misidentified wildlife, or something even harder to explain?SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube ChannelEmail BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Part Two of Born Wild: Koda's Odyssey, Volume Two opens in the strange quiet that follows a fight nobody really won.Kabota and his envoy come home from the clearing alive, and to the younger sasquatch that alone feels like a victory.They faced the Dogmen, they drew blood, they sent the pack running. But Kabota has led long enough to know the difference between surviving a fight and winning a war, and he understands what the celebration in the caves does not.The Dogmen will be back. Next time they'll be ready.So the war drums begin. Both sides retreat to lick their wounds and sharpen their strategy, and the forest that once felt like home to Koda hardens into something closer to a battlefield with borders. Patrols double. Boundaries are drawn. Every scent on the wind carries a new weight, and the elders find themselves split between the ones who counsel patience and the ones who can already taste the coming blood.Caught in the middle of it is Koda, fifteen years old and carrying the memory of everything the last three years cost him, still hearing his father's warning that violence should be the last choice and never the first. He's beginning to see how thin the line is between defending a home and starting a war, and how few of the sasquatch around him seem willing to walk it.And out past the tree line, the thing the humans are building keeps growing, indifferent to which side wins.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Brian sits down with Doug from Washington State, a lifelong resident of Pend Oreille County in the far northeastern corner of the state, for a conversation that starts with one winter night on a county road and opens out into thirty years of reports from the same block of mountains.Doug and his wife were driving home from her job after dark, deep in the middle of winter, when something crossed in front of them in two strides. Not walking. Running, hunched forward the way a man runs when he's moving as hard as he can. Doug puts it at eight feet tall and somewhere around six or seven hundred pounds, covered head to toe in dark gray hair, moving through three and a half to four feet of snow at a speed no person on snowshoes could match. He went home and got an ax and intended to go back out after it, and his wife talked him out of it, which he now concedes was the better reasoning of the two of them.What follows is the kind of interview I like best, because Doug isn't selling anything. He was aware of the subject before it happened to him, he'd seen the Patterson-Gimlin film, and he still describes himself as somebody who simply hadn't seen it for himself yet. He talks about his great uncle Lou, a World War One veteran who worked the woods as a surveyor and spent time in the Civilian Conservation Corps camps during the Depression, and who called the thing he and his wife ran into out huckleberry picking the Skookum Man, and who got shut down by his wife Alsa before he could tell the boys any more about it.He talks about the military survival trainer who came into his family's bar and mentioned the instruction given to men training above Cusick, Washington, near Tacoma Creek, which was not to engage bipedal creatures in the woods. He talks about why he thinks these things are seen crossing roads so often when they're otherwise almost impossible to find, why he lands on a single species rather than five or six subspecies, and why he thinks the strangeness that clings to this subject may say more about our own government than it does about the animal. He also brings the Vietnam rock ape accounts he heard from his brothers and their Marine friends, and his answer to skeptics, which is that being skeptical is perfectly fine and he isn't going to beg anybody for anything.Partway through, I stop the interview and take a long detour, because Doug mentioned sightings up around Sullivan Lake and Priest Lake and I'd spent the previous few weeks going through the actual case files out of that country. What's on the record there is more substantial than most people realize A woman kayaking on Sullivan Lake in August of two thousand two who floated within fifteen yards of what she first took for a very tall old man in gray, sitting on a stump with his legs crossed and his hands folded over his knee, and who learned that evening that her niece had seen the same thing from her own boat. Two fishermen four months earlier on the south end of that same lake, run out of their tent at night by crashes, a musty smell, and a gray shape seven to nine feet tall through the mesh window.Two bear hunters northwest of Ione in September of nineteen ninety-eight who found three sets of tracks traveling together at eighteen inches, fifteen to sixteen inches, and thirteen inches, and who made a cast so poor the man freely admitted he had no idea what he was doing. A motorist outside Ione in nineteen ninety-one who stopped his car for something in the headlights and then wrote, in his own report, that he never said he saw Bigfoot, only that he saw something strange on the road and doesn't know what it was.Then the interlude crosses the state line, because the line is a survey mark and nothing more. Priest Lake sits in Bonner County, Idaho, which carries more reports than any other county in that state, and between the two lakes is the Salmo-Priest Wilderness and...

Volume Two of Born Wild: Koda's Odyssey begins here, and it opens on the other side of the fight. A Dog man called Vorn moves his starving pack south out of the picked-over northern hunting grounds and straight into territory the sasquatch clans have held for generations.The moment those two worlds catch each other's scent, the countdown starts.Three years have passed since the clans fled the Olympic Peninsula. Three years since Adanowa was taken and everything Koda knew came apart.Now a scout named Raksha has vanished into the dark, with nothing left behind but blood and a stranger's smell.In this first stretch you'll meet both sides of the coming war, the pack and the clans alike, and watch Kabota gamble on words over teeth by sending an envoy to a creature who only respects strength. You already know how a gamble like that tends to end.What you don't yet know is who pays for it. This is the world Koda came up in, changed and crowded and closing in, and it's only going to get darker from here.Settle in, because we've got a long road ahead, and it starts with first blood.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch is back with a disturbing report of increased activity across the Kenai Peninsula before turning to a recent encounter involving Marty and her grandson, Doug, near Alaska’s remote McCarthy Road.The trouble began when electrical problems forced their RV off the dirt road near an old single-lane bridge dating back to 1910. While Marty remained inside the vehicle, Doug walked toward the bridge to record the scenery with his new iPhone. The forest suddenly went completely silent. Moments later, an explosive scream tore through the valley with enough force to make Doug drop the phone into a steep ravine.Looking toward a nearby bluff, Doug spotted an enormous humanoid figure standing above the road. He estimated it was more than ten feet tall.As the figure began moving in the direction of the stranded RV, Doug rushed back to warn his grandmother.Marty had already begun hearing pebbles and larger rocks striking the outside of the camper. Overcome by an intense sense of danger, she looked outside and saw a massive dark figure near the vehicle.Fearing it was preparing to attack, she loaded a shotgun and waited inside while the impacts continued. A local family eventually arrived and confirmed that they had also seen what they believed was a Bigfoot. As they attempted to help Marty and Doug leave the area, rocks were thrown into the bed of their truck.During the escape, Marty caught another glimpse of the figure shaking trees and unleashing powerful vocalizations from the timber. What began as a routine mechanical problem had left them stranded beside an isolated Alaskan bridge with something enormous closing in from the wilderness.Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube ChannelEmail BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?
