Bigfoot, Dogman & the Human Side of the UnknownWhat if the woods that once saved you… never stopped watching?This week on Untold Radio AM, hosts Doug Hajicek and Jeff Perrella sit down with Kay Gleaves—writer, storyteller, ordained chaplain, and Admin with a.k.a. Sasquatch—for a powerful, deeply personal conversation spanning more than five decades of unexplained encounters.Kay’s connection to the unknown began at age seven and has continued throughout her life with experiences she believes involved Bigfoot, Dogman, and possibly Wendigos. After years of ridicule and disbelief, she went silent. But in the last two years she has found her voice again. Growing up amid abuse and gang violence, the woods were once her only refuge—a place that eventually became filled with questions, encounters, faith, and purpose.Now 60, Kay supports expeditions, investigations, events, and the preservation of experiencers’ stories. With a background in chaplaincy, recovery ministry, coaching, and storytelling, she focuses on the human side of these encounters—giving people a place to speak without ridicule. She doesn’t claim to have the answers. She only has the determination to keep asking.If you’ve ever felt the woods looking back… this episode is for you.🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss the strange, the scientific, and the truly Untold.👕 Exclusive Untold Radio AM merch:https://hangar1publishing.com/collections/untold-radio-am-podcast-merch🌐 Follow the show: untoldradioam.com

Deep in the shadow of Mount Adams, on more than a million acres of Yakama Nation forest, something has been leaving 22-inch tracks — and the man whose job it is to walk that country has spent three decades trying to make sense of it.This week on Untold Radio AM, MonsterQuest producer Doug Hajicek and Jeff "The Big Ragu," joined by guest host Roger Williams, sit down with prominent Bigfoot researcher Mel Skahan. An enrolled Yakama tribal member and forestry expert, Mel has become the person people go to when they see something they can't explain out in the timber — and the reports have piled up into the hundreds.Mel takes us from the 1995 day he and a coworker cut timber and found footprints with a five-and-a-half-foot stride, to the 2006 sighting of something large, black, and glistening moving through the trees, to the rocks thrown out of the dark, the vocalizations, and the smell he still calls unforgettable.He also talks about the turn his research took after a tribal medicine man gave him some advice — trading thermal cameras and night vision for a far more respectful approach rooted in Yakama tradition.This one goes past footprints and into something older.⚠️ Some of these accounts are not for the faint of heart.WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODEThe 1995 timber-cruising encounter — 22-inch tracks, converging trails, and the feeling of being watched Mel's 2006 daylight sighting near Mount St. Helens country Rock throwing, tree knocks, howls, growls and whistles from the deep timber Why hundreds of reservation sighting reports rarely make it to the publicThe Native perspective: Sasquatch as a spiritual presence, not just an animalWhat a tribal medicine man told him — and why he put the trail cams awayDoug Hajicek on how these accounts line up with what he filmed during MonsterQuestABOUT OUR GUEST — MEL SKAHAN Mel Skahan is an enrolled member of the Yakama Nation and works in the tribe's Forest Management Section, helping oversee roughly 1.2 million acres of tribal land in Washington State. Over the years he's become the primary point of contact for Sasquatch reports on the reservation, personally collecting hundreds of firsthand accounts.
