A listener writes “I recently visited a friend with 40 acres in the middle of nowhere on the Humboldt Trinity line in Northern California. I saw and heard the weirdest s—. I also have an experience from 2012. I saw them almost camo as the sun was going down.

About 40 ft down the hill in the tree line. I noticed a dark shape under a bent tree. I asked my friend if he sow it and by then it was halfway to the next tree but frozen till we looked away then gone. After that I saw a large arm holding onto the tree. It got dark so we went in the yurt to build a fire. My friend asked me if I’d seen a flash thinking it was a flashlight. I saw a slight glow. We went on the porch and could hear voices.

I was looking at the same tree and I saw an orange light, then about a foot higher I saw 2 orbs like eyes. Not eyeshine. I have a lot more and plan on going down there again with a flir cam and a parabolic mic. My friend said this all started a couple weeks ago. He had been working in so cal, so he hadn’t been there. Checked then next day and all his game came were gone.”

In episode 738: Warfare In The Second Heaven, Caleb steps forward to share his story—a life spent straddling two realities. From childhood encounters with shadow figures to direct confrontations with dark entities, he has been thrust into spiritual warfare that most never see. After nearly ending his own life, he made a desperate plea to God: If you’re real, you have to show me. What followed was a transformation that led him into the depths of the supernatural. He describes being pulled into the second heaven, where time moves erratically, the ground breathes, and unseen forces wage war. He has faced the Hat Man, battled the stag-headed god Cernunnos, and stood against forces that feed on fear and chaos.

But why him? And why are the occult obsessed with accessing this realm? If the second heaven is a battleground between light and darkness, how much of our world is shaped by what happens there?

Mysteries Unknown writes “In tonight’s episode I talk with Jay who had a very scary Class A Dogman encounter when he was in College . He was driving through West Virginia with his brother when a Dogman ran towards them on the highway and attacked his car.

Then later on in life he had an encounter with Bigfoot while he was with is family in Florida. This is a good one guys and you don’t want to miss it!”

Dogman Encounter From West Virginia

He Wears Nothing but Hair, Which Is Long and Curly.
Rome, Ohio, June 20, 1897

The wild man who created so much terror among the inhabitants near Rome, O., several weeks ago by his strange actions has again been seen. Charles Lukins and Bob Forner, while cutting timber a few miles from Rome, claim they encountered a wild man and after a severe struggle say they were able to drive the gorilla like object into his supposed retreat among the cliffs.

They describe the terror as being about six feet tall and his only covering, apparently, a mat of long, curly hair. From their description of the supposed wild man he is undoubtedly the same seen a number of times several weeks ago. Women and children are now more thoroughly frightened than ever and are afraid to venture from their homes lest they meet the wild creature. A posse of determined men will scour the country now until the terror is located and captured or killed. – Cleveland Plain Dealer

Note: This article which was in both the Marion Daily Star, Marion Ohio (June 10, 1897) and the Fresno Bee, California, repeats the information in the previous Plain Dealer entry (May 26. 1897) with the added information that the creature was “seen again.” It then shows the source as the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It appears obvious this newspaper originally carried the follow-up article.

Lake Minnewanka, Banff National Park, 1898 an unwelcome wild man got another taste of local hospitality last fall. A man fishing along the lakeshore reported he sighted the oddity from an estimated distance of 40 -50 yards.

The creature bared its teeth and growled at the fisherman who also had a rifle with him and immediately took aim and fired several times. The wild man ran from the area emitting “hair raising cries.”

It was believed he was hit by at least one of the bullets as spots of blood were found on some of the trees in the area. While the creature may have suffered a wound, it does not appear it was serious. In early winter two Irish wolfhounds were found dead just outside a small settlement. Footprints 19-inch long were seen in the area implicating our resident “wild man.” The settlers mounted a hunt for the creature, but nothing was found.

Robert writes “I’m an Army Veteran, a husband, father, and a great admirer of the outdoors. I have always loved hunting and fishing since I was a young kid going with my dad. I always had an interest in supernatural things my entire young life and have had a lot of different experiences growing up that showed me that things aren’t so cut and dry in the world that we inhabit.

That being said, I was never really a believer in the phenomena known as bigfoot or sasquatch growing up. I thought it was an interesting thing to read about and completely put it in the category of things that just could never exist in the real world. I thought that things like this were just stories that people made up and passed down to scare kids and keep them from wandering to far from home, or to keep them inside when the streetlights would come on. I spent a lot of time in the woods growing up building Tipi’s out of sticks, pretending to survive eating wild onions, and taking my BB gun out and making the local bird and squirrel population fear for their lives with friends. For as much time as we spent in the woods as kids, we never had any experiences that would have led me to believe there was such a thing like bigfoot in the world. In high school a couple of friends and I liked to go coyote hunting at night in the mountains above my friends’ home. We had gone multiple times and never had much action; we would usually go up just for the thrill of going if I’m going to be honest. There was something exciting about being so deep in the woods at night with only a flashlight and a gun. On one occasion three of us decided to try out a different location a little bit farther up the mountain on a trail we never really went up to hunt before, some guys that leased land off of my friend’s grandfather had an impromptu blind built out of old fallen timber and we thought it would be a perfect spot to drive his 4×4 mule up to sit and do some predator calls to see what we could do. We drove up the trail and parked about 30 yards from the blind and got all of our things situated. We maneuvered to the blind quietly and squeezed into the small makeshift structure. We decided that one person would face down the mountain and to his left side of the blind, the middle person would rotate between up the mountain and down and the person by the entrance (myself) would face up and to his left side of the blind. It was a pretty steep and rocky-ish area where we were located not so steep that you were looking straight up the mountain. It was almost perfect visibility that night, the moon was shining fairly bright enough that after your eyes adjusted you could see relatively well. We were waiting about 25 minutes after settling in to start using a distressed rabbit call and called on and off for about 5 minutes or so, we waited another 40 minutes in complete silence before my friend in the middle tapped me on the shoulder and whispered, “Hey man I see something.”

He pointed and I followed his finger up to a large tree with some vines hanging from it. It took me a second to make out anything strange he would be seeing but just when I was going to ask him what he saw I could see a large silhouette standing just off to the left of the large tree approx. 50-60 yards away from where we were standing. I stared at it for what seemed like forever, but it couldn’t have been more than 15 seconds. I couldn’t believe what I was looking at, I turned to tap my friend watching down the mountain on the shoulder to get him to look and see if I was seeing things I told him, “Hey, dude I see something by this tree up here take a look and tell me if you see it too.” by the time we all turned back to the tree there was nothing there.

We never even heard a sound. How could something that large not make a single sound? I was filled with this overwhelming feeling of dread at this moment and could just feel that something was off. I explained that I saw something standing by the tree that I didn’t know what it was, we all became very uncomfortable for about 10-15 minutes more before we decided to leave the spot and retreat back down the mountain. On the way down my first friend that tapped me on the shoulder asked exactly what I saw, he couldn’t quite make out what he was seeing but he felt that something was there. I was visibly shaken a bit but explained that what I saw was a dark figure accented against the backside of the mountain standing slightly off almost leaning around the tree staring straight at us. It had huge broad shoulders and very long arms I couldn’t quite make out the head exactly, but it barely had a neck. It was head, traps and shoulders straight down to arms. It’s right arm was hanging straight down, and I assume the left arm was behind the tree it was attempting to peek out from. There was some brush in front of the tree as well so past the right thigh-ish area I couldn’t make out through the undergrowth. It messed with me for days after and I wouldn’t really say anything to anyone. My mother noticed something was off with me and kept pressing me to talk, she finally had enough and asked me what the hell did I do?

I explained the whole story to her and to my relief she actually believed me. I was so scared to even talk about it for a long time because of the ridicule that people get for these types of things. To this day I rarely hunt alone, and I am very vigilant when I enter the forest. For years after the incident, I wouldn’t even go into the woods. I don’t know what I saw in the woods that night, but what I can tell you is that it was very large, broad, 7-8-foot-tall bipedal creature that was staring straight at me, and it shook me to my core.”

Eric writes “I came across your show probably about 3 or 4 weeks ago and have been binge listening through episodes almost daily.

I had an encounter with what I believe may have been a Sasquatch in 2014 in East Tennessee when I almost hit one with my car, forcing me to slam on my brakes to not do so. I have only told 3 or 4 people about this because I can’t really explain what happened and through nervousness of sounding crazy.

In listening to the show, I’ve heard continuously how safe of a space it is to share these stories. I’d enjoy being able to tell you what happened to at least tell the story to someone who has heard and is open to everything, even if it isn’t something long or enamoring enough to be told on the show.”

Paranormal Portal writes “Tonight, on the #Paranormal Portal, we are diving into the Saturday Show. I am joined by “Ullrson” who comes to share stories of a location in Texas that has come to known as “Dogman Ranch”. With encounters from Bigfoot, Dogman and other strange creatures, this location seems to be a focal point of the strange and unusual! Join us and we’ll take you on a safari of the mind into the depths of the Paranormal Portal.”

A listener writes “I’m from a small town in east Texas born and raised here and I grew up around sasquatch my dad did a lot of research in a group he was a part of called Texla research over my lifetime.

I have had 4 separate encounters or at least potential encounters one being when I was a little boy fishing with my dad I remember feeling like something was watching and I kept turning around and I had ended up seeing something I believe it had been a sasquatch.

It was super long distance a second my dad my brother and I were doing just like a little one night research thing in a WMA near his house and we got bluff charged and whatever had done that circled the area where we had parked and made my dad kind of panic and he got us out of there a third was actually near that same area I was with my father on a group trip with his group and we had gone down a pipeline clear-cut about a mile from where that incident happened.

We sat out and listened a part of the group had stayed in the parking area to call blast at which point we heard something responding we believe to the call blast that was maybe 200 yards away from us and a fourth one was in Arkansas. In the Fouke area we were on a little atv trail type road my dad was also present for this one. We were in a T intersection in this road my dad was doing manual calls and after a few calls he did where he mimicked a chimpanzee we heard a tree get knocked over in the woods about 100 yards away.

Then whatever had done that came basically to the edge of the trees where it then began to shake a tree that was a good 5 feet into the tree line now I have had some other experiences that could be something but it could be any number of things and I have heard numerous stories from this area that are absolutely mind blowing if you’d like to talk id love to hear from you thank you.”

Mysteries Unknown writes “For centuries, witnesses have reported sightings of a massive, hairy, bipedal creature lurking in the dense forests of Arizona’s Mogollon Rim. From eerie red eyes and spine-chilling howls to massive footprints and terrifying encounters, this could be Arizona’s very own Bigfoot”

Mysteries Unknown: The Mogollon Monster From Arizona

A listener writes “My daughter may have seen a Bigfoot. Back in January my daughter wanted to go on a walk after dinner. She wanted to walk down to the water not far from our house. I reluctantly agreed. The reason I was reluctant was up to that point I’ve had a few experiences that led me to believe Sasquatch may live in or travel through this area. These experiences ultimately are what led me to discover your show.

So my daughter and I along with my small dog headed out on our walk. My daughter and I wore headlamps to light our way. The road to the water is unlit and travels through a protected wetland that dead ends at the river. The first thing that happened that in hindsight was a red flag was my dog did not want to walk down that road. Several times she stopped and tried to pull back.

About 3/4 of the way down there was a tire track in the dirt road that had frozen over. My seven year old could not resist immediately jumping on the ice. It made a loud hollow crumble noise as the ice exploded beneath her feet. Almost immediately after she did this there was a very heavy thud on the ground off to the left about 50 feet into the woods. I immediately stopped my daughter from making noise and listened for about 45 seconds or so. I heard nothing. We continued on.

We reached the water turned around and started to head back without incident. We made it about 90% back to the end of the road when we came upon another frozen tire track that apparently my daughter had overlooked on the way down. Curious, I asked my daughter to jump on the ice like she did the first time. She did so and this time almost immediately after the ice broke, off to the left of the road (the opposite side as the first time) there were strange somewhat high pitched whoops that were crossed with a chatter at the end that went on for several seconds. I could tell there were two noises coming from the same area in the woods because the vocals would overlap at times. We froze immediately.

We stood still for several minutes after these strange noises were heard. During this time I was slowly panning my headlamp all around looking to see if I could see anything. As I was looking back down the trail towards the water my daughter suddenly ran into me from behind and latched onto to me. As she did this she said “daddy a man! There’s a man up there!” I asked her where. She pointed in the opposite direction (the way we were headed) and said he crossed the road up there. I kept searching that area up ahead but I couldn’t see anything. We cautiously continued on.

She let me know where she saw the man cross the road as we approached the area. There was no evidence of anything having crossed there. We stood there for a few minutes to look and listen. Nothing was observed.

Back at the house I asked her what the man looked like. All she could describe was that he was big and black and that it walked across the road up in front of us and she could tell it was looking at us. We went for a walk a few days later down the same road at about the same time with no issue. My dog didn’t pull away like she did the first time.”

Huge “Beast-Man” Shot Near Pistolet Bay: Pistolet Bay, Newfoundland, Winter 1890s William Decker, who lives in one of the small settlements on the Newfoundland side of the Strait of Belle Isle, reported a horrific encounter with some kind of animal-man while hunting and fishing near Pistolet Bay. One frosty morning he took his muzzle-loader and headed back into the country.

As he reached a marsh, about 300 yards across, he heard a loud and frightening roar. He turned and what he saw made him almost faint in his tracks. A huge animal, or huge man, a giant creature anyway, was coming at him in gigantic leaps. Decker had already charged his gun with plenty of powder and shot. He knelt down and took steady aim and waited till the creature was very close, too close for comfort. Then he fired. The weight of the charge brought the beast-man to his knees; but it was up again very quickly. But Decker was ready with a second volley and the creature fell the second time letting out a bellow that could be heard for miles. Taking no chances, he reloaded and fired a third volley.

The creature did not stir again. Decker measured the crea￾ture; it was ten to twelve feet tall, with an outstretched arm-span of fourteen feet. Its feet left tracks in the snow that Decker’s snowshoes couldn’t cover. The body, he said, was covered with long hair. He figured the creature weighed about one thousand pounds!”

Comment: As far as we know, Decker simply left the carcass where it lay. This would be understandable for that time period, and we might reason that he wanted to get out of the area as quickly as he could.

The Confessionals writes “In episode 736: The Power Of Arche, Daniel Duval, from episode 522: Uncovering CIA Satanic Ritual Abuse, returns to expose the spiritual battleground most never see. From his work deprogramming survivors of deep occult systems to uncovering supernatural realms hidden within Scripture, Daniel shares staggering revelations. He details the Arche, a personal spiritual domain granted by God, capable of warfare, intercession, and even collapsing demonic strongholds. But as he unlocked its potential, the kingdom of darkness fought back.

Daniel dives into the shocking reality of angels wounded in battle, spiritual devices used against believers, and secret trades happening between dark entities and human leaders. What happens when technology is acquired not through science, but through soul sacrifices? This isn’t just theory, it’s an urgent call to arms. If everything we’ve been told about spiritual warfare is incomplete, what else has been hidden from us? And more importantly, how do we fight back?”
