Brian welcomes author and researcher Greg Long to Sasquatch Odyssey for a revealing conversation about his book, The Making of Bigfoot, and the investigation that led him to challenge the Patterson–Gimlin film.Greg traces his research through Yakima and Tampico, Washington, where interviews led him to Bob Heironimus—the man who told Greg he wore the Bigfoot suit.He shares accounts from Heironimus’s family and other witnesses who reported seeing the costume in a blue Buick, alongside recollections of Roger Patterson that describe a creative man whose honesty those witnesses questioned. The conversation tackles some of the film’s most disputed details: uncertainty surrounding the shooting date, questions about the rapid film-processing timeline, and costume claims involving Philip Morris.Greg also discusses Clint Patterson’s claim that the suit was later burned, newly discovered footage connected to Norm Johnson’s Boeing lab, and a possible link to Dave Johnson.With the documentary Capturing Bigfoot bringing these questions back into focus, Brian and Greg examine the testimony, competing accounts, and unresolved details behind one of the most famous pieces of footage ever recorded.Greg lays out his case for a hoax and encourages listeners to read his book, watch the documentary, and weigh the evidence for themselves.Get The Making Of Bigfoot 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 is back. This time, he shares the chilling account of Stanley, a pilot whose first solo visit to an inherited cabin became a terrifying ordeal at a remote Alaskan retreat he called Devil’s Lake. After landing his float-equipped Piper Super Cub, Stanley felt an overwhelming sense that he was being watched. Then came a sharp whoop—and a massive, dark figure he estimated at 12 feet tall shaking trees near the cabin. Stanley retreated inside, barricaded the door, and armed himself. A foul odor and another sighting added to his fear before nightfall.The following morning, the figure returned near his plane. Stanley describes it moving rapidly on all fours, shaking trees while vocalizing, and appearing to push the aircraft’s tail. Before finally escaping by air, he says he saw its face: wrinkled, charcoal-gray skin and bright golden-yellow eyes.Four years later, Stanley returned with friends and found the property peaceful. But his grandfather’s journals revealed an unsettling detail: references to a “hairy man” appeared only during the years when his grandfather’s health was declining.Those entries leave a lingering question about whether vulnerability played a role in the encounters—and what his grandfather experienced at Devil’s Lake.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?

In this two-part episode, I sit down with Capturing Bigfoot director Marq Evans, producer Tamir Ardon, and Roger Patterson’s son, Clint Patterson, before sharing my own conclusions about the documentary and its newly discovered footage.Part One: The InterviewMarq and Tamir discuss audience reactions, the newly discovered 40-second reel, and the questions surrounding when it was filmed. Clint recounts his mother telling him that Bob Heironimus was in the suit, the eight-year estrangement over his plans to write a book, and the answers he wishes his father had given him. The filmmakers also respond directly to Russell Acord’s recent claims about Clint, the footage, licensing, and Bob Gimlin’s interview. Clint closes with his hope of sitting down with Gimlin in Yakima.Part Two: My Reaction and AnalysisAfter attending the October 13 screening at New People Cinema in San Francisco, I walk through what I saw and why I’ve concluded the Patterson-Gimlin film was a hoax. I examine the witnesses’ identification of the horseman as Bob Gimlin, comparisons with the Bluff Creek footage, and the financial and licensing history behind the film.I also address the disputed dates, processing timeline, possibility of a later reenactment, anatomical arguments, and Gimlin’s on-camera reaction to seeing the reel.Along the way, I tackle the backlash to my position and acknowledge the unanswered questions and weak points in the case.I distinguish documented evidence, witness accounts, disputed claims, and my own conclusions. My position is my own, and I encourage you to watch the documentary, examine the evidence, and decide for yourself.Capturing Bigfoot is now streaming on Amazon Prime.

In the winter of 1950, Thomas finally crossed a boundary his father had warned him never to cross. Deep in the mountains of north Georgia, on a remote section of the family's 80-acre property, he ventured into an area Will had marked on an old map with three chilling words: DO NOT GO HERE.What Thomas discovered suggested the Sasquatch living on the mountain had a hidden place of their own. Massive footprints, twisted trees, carefully arranged stones, shattered bones, and a secluded shelter beneath a rocky overhang all pointed to something extraordinary. But when the forest suddenly fell silent and something enormous began moving through the laurel above him, Thomas realized he wasn't alone. Whatever lived on that ridge knew he was there—and it followed him all the way back down the mountain.Over the next several years, Thomas continued the uneasy arrangement his father had established with the mysterious creatures. But everything changed when three timber men arrived with frightening stories of something massive stalking their camp on the neighboring property. Then came a cold November night, a single rifle shot echoing through the mountains, and nearly a minute of terrifying screams unlike anything Thomas had ever heard. At daylight, Thomas followed a trail of evidence that would change everything: enormous tracks, blood on the mountainside, signs that something wounded had been dragged uphill, and a spent rifle casing. Someone had entered the mountain with a gun, and Thomas was determined to find out who.In Part Four of The Arrangement, we continue the remarkable account shared through emails by a mysterious man named Jimmy, whose family has owned this secluded north Georgia property for generations. Jimmy claims his grandfather first revealed these events to him when he was just nine years old.Today, he says he still possesses the original map, the rifle casing, and eleven handwritten pages documenting what happened.For decades, Jimmy's family protected a secret about the Sasquatch living on their land. But someone from outside the family had crossed a line, and the fragile peace established by his great-grandfather was about to unravel.Coming in Part Five: Thomas discovers who was responsible for the gunshot on the mountain—and what he decides to do about it could put his family and everything his father worked to protect at risk.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?

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&amp;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&amp;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?Join us for this revealing conversation and decide for yourself.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books <a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/SasquatchOdysseyPodcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer...

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?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.<br...

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.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 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.All Access Network YouTube Channel 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 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.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 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.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?
