Looking back years later, he believes it may have been the very same female Sasquatch that intervened and saved his life once again. Could one mysterious creature have been watching over him all along?As if that weren't enough, Ray reveals additional encounters from his younger years that have only strengthened his belief that these elusive beings are far more intelligent—and far more compassionate—than most people could ever imagine.Is this one of the most remarkable Bigfoot encounters ever told?

Something was Pacing Us
Something was Pacing Us Deep in the Arkansas wilderness, Amanda and Phillip from Offbeat Paranormal set out with their investigation team in search of answers—but what they experienced left them questioning everything they thought they knew. Throughout the weekend, the group was seemingly shadowed by something massive. They heard deep growls, eerie laughter echoing through the forest, thunderous stomps, and the unmistakable sound of heavy branches being thrown, all while signs suggested something was pacing them just beyond the tree line.One of the most intriguing moments came when the team discovered six carefully placed stones arranged on a large, flat rock—one for each member of their investigation party. The following morning, after one person had left camp, the remaining investigators awoke to find five stones neatly placed at the head of their tent overnight—again, one stone for each person still there. Was it an incredible coincidence, a deliberate message, or evidence that something intelligent had been quietly observing the group and keeping count of every member?Join Dan "Dano" Hamilton as Amanda and Phillip recount this unforgettable Arkansas expedition and reveal even more strange encounters from the same weekend, including unexplained activity that continued long after the sun went down. If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be watched deep in the woods, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Tune in now and decide for yourself. Have you ever seen something?
