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?

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.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?

n 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.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 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.SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch 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?

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.Capturing Bigfoot WebsiteEmail 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 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.SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch 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 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.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?

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.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 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.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 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.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?
