From The Shadows writes “North Carolina Woman Captures Something Mysterious On Camera — Amy joins us from the middle of North Carolina to share her pictures and video of something mysterious in the skies above a shopping center. These objects were not visible to the naked eye! She also shares one of the best paranormal dating stories ever!”
A listener writes “I saw two, what I believe were Bigfoot, the weekend of October 4th, 2024, on the Meanders in McCall, Idaho. The Meanders connect Payette Lake to Upper Payette Lake. It’s roughly a three mile stretch of slack water that is crystal clear, slow moving and makes for just an enjoyable time on the water in the outdoors.
During the summer it is very popular with Paddle boarders, Kayakers and campers. People line the Meanders sandbars and “beaches,” but during the autumn months the campgrounds close and the Meanders are relatively empty.
My wife and I had reservations for a cabin on the shores of Payette Lake in Ponderosa State Park. We had arrived early before check in and we were unable to check into the cabin but they let us drop off our Mountain bikes. So, we decided to go to our drop in spot on the river, unloaded our Paddle boards and we would tool around until we could check in. We were out on the river for about three hours and only saw four other Kayakers before my sighting.
It was overcast, about 72 degrees, a little chilly but occasionally the sun would peek through and warm us up. We had paddled upriver for a good distance and were just fooling around.
I had recently purchased a cheap Go Pro knock off and was having fun filming underwater and into the forest around us. I had stopped on a sandbar and my wife had stopped about 20 yards upriver from me. I had the Go Pro out and had just completed filming 360 degrees around me. I stopped, set the Go Pro down and looked up into the woods across from me and saw 2 figures standing in a group of trees, roughly 70 yards, across the river. I know it was at least 70 yards because I was just at a shooting range participating in pistols quals for the place I work. Quals were evaluated at every 25 yards, and I had that distance still ingrained in my head. I think the 70 yards is really accurate. The figures were enormous, but I don’t have a reference to judge their size but at 70 yards they were huge, just two hulking figures standing, solemnly in the woods. Two dark figures, standing side by side just staring at me. I hadn’t caught them mid stride or anything, they were standing side by side just watching me.
The figure on the left was a head shorter than the right one. Their arms hung down to their sides, almost what to I guess what might have been down to their knees. The details are sketchy, it was dark in the trees but just enough sun poked through the clouds that it highlighted the prominent features of their faces, the bridge of their noses and brow ridges.
I struggle to put the description of their faces into words. They both looked like they were wearing cheap ugly gorilla masks crossed with what I would describe as features of a Neanderthal or Cro-Magnon man. Gorillas crossed with a really old man. They had conical heads, no shoulders. Where their eyes would have been were lost in shadow. Very broad shoulders. I can’t say if they were covered in hair or fur. I want to say hair because if memory serves me it was long hair, like a Ghillie suit. We just stared at each other. I don’t feel like I surprised them. I feel like they let me see them. They just stood there like, ‘What is this guy doing or maybe how judgmental parents would look at you.’ Seconds felt like a lifetime. I know it was just seconds but seriously felt like a lifetime.
I realized I had the Go Pro next to me and quickly picked it up and tried to film them. Honestly my excitement ruined my sighting and I regret this decision every day. I thought I could catch them on film. This knock off Go Pro has the power button on the front of it, not on the top. I think I pressed the top button, which is the record button. I don’t leave the power on because the battery power is really short. I panned the camera back to the woods in front of me. When I looked back at them, they were gone. Just empty space in the trees. No video of this was recorded.
I called out to my wife, who had gotten back on her Paddle board and was paddling back up to my position. “I saw them. I saw them!” “What, what?”, she said. “What did you see?” “I saw two bigfoot,” I responded. “They were just standing out there watching me. Right there.” At his point I was just about to cry. The emotion I was feeling was unexplainable. I’m a 54 year old man who has believed in Bigfoot since I was eight years old. I had just had the most perfect sighting. The sighting I had always hoped for, and I blew it trying to record them. My wife panicked. “What where? What? I can feel them watching me!” She took off. She just paddled off and left me there standing on the sand bar.
I was determined to see them. I mean I was on the verge of tears, so emotional. I was so excited. I had just seen not one but two bigfoot looking at me like I was something they were surprised to see. I shocked them that I was there. The experience was overwhelming.
The witness writes “Everything happened in September and October of 2024. Let me preface by saying that I’m an outdoorsman and a misanthrope; I spend most of my time alone and have been on many “dark to dark” hunts on my own, even when I was young, so I don’t get spooked easily.
I only have 8 acres in PA but my land is very secluded and is in the mix with a huge amount of wooded acreage.
The strangeness started when I was noticing that the woods behind my house were quiet every night, when I’d leave for work, while the woods across the road were ‘normal’ with the usual sounds. There’s an old logging road at the corner of my yard that goes back onto mine and others property’s and my attention kept getting drawn there; not necessarily ‘being watched’ but more like ‘something is there’. I had been noticing this for about a week or so before I was talking to my son on the phone one night, he’s 24 and is the only person who lives with me, and he commented that he had been taking the shotgun out every night when he would take the dogs out to potty.
I of course inquired as to why because of my recent “feelings” and he basically told me the same thing that the woods behind the house were too quiet and he felt like something was off and he even commented on the old logging road being the center of this feeling.
I drive truck and my hours are different every day but the next week I switched shift and was returning home at night instead of leaving; I backed into the detached garage and started to walk towards the house and heard movement from that road so I sat everything down and started to walk down there.
It was a moonless night so I couldn’t move fast but I know the road and I’m the type that goes in hunting at dark with no flashlight so I’m fairly skilled.
Whatever was back there that night was definitely bipedal and was purposely keeping the same distance from me; if I’d stop it would stop and when I’d move it would move.
I didn’t press the situation more than 100 yards as the old road degrades the farther you go.
There are 2 massive pipes buried under that road for water drainage and I do my best every spring and fall to keep them clear of debris; that following weekend I was down in the dip clearing those pipes, this was early morning around 8am, and I heard an incredibly loud and huge sounding tree break; it sounded like something as big as a 4×4 or 6×6 piece of lumber just snapping. I walked up out of the dip and moved in the direction of the noise, 50-60 yards away in a grapevine thicket I saw something huge and black moving away. I couldn’t discern anything at all except big and black so it is possible to have been a black bear.
Later that day, in the afternoon, my son and I were down at the pipes; we were taking in some quick Crete to shore up the hill side and channel water. I was using a spade shovel to stab/chop at young briar plants growing in the area and I noticed him staring in the same direction as the grapes; I asked him “what” and he said “nope, not a thing”. Of course I pressed and he said “I heard a knock, at first I thought it was the shovel echoing but it was only once and wasn’t in rhythm with you.”
During the next week I arrived home one night and had to hop out of the truck to urinate before backing into the garage and heard 3 loud knocks in succession. A few days later we had a fog bank come in at night, it was roughly 2am and I had to take my dogs out, this was thick enough that you couldn’t see more than probably 20 yards, this may sound like nothing but it was strange at the time, the whole forest was quiet except 5-6 song birds(idk what species) that seemed to be surrounding the yard and all ‘singing’ back and forth to each other. Nothing else happened, I just went in for the night.
Everything so far is easy to write off as nothing really but the last 2 events aren’t.
Days after the fog I was walking back from taking the garbage to the road and an aircraft caught my eye, I see a huge amount of aircraft where I live. This craft didn’t have any blinker lights, it was just 1 pulsing white light, the whole thing pulsed not blinked. I’m not sure about altitude and the shape seemed to be an oval. As the craft traveled across the sky I watched it do a ‘zigzag’ pattern once and right before it left sight I saw it stop and ‘hover’ for about 3 seconds before it continued away.
2 days later the last part of my string of events happened. I had to switch shifts so I came home and had to basically take just a few hour nap and go back out.
It was 2am, I awoke to take the dogs out and as I walked off my porch a red light in the woods caught my eye, I turned to focus on it to see that it was 2 red dots/lights, I kept walking and heard myself say out loud “nope….that is not what it looks like; it can’t be what it looks like”. I kept watching the dogs but checking on the red dots; the dots never changed or moved. I let the dogs in and grabbed a flashlight/laser combo for rifles that wasn’t mounted to anything yet. I went back out and moved towards the edge of the yard where the red dots were; distances can be difficult at night but i estimated them to be 35-40 yards aways and roughly 7’off the ground.
Understand that I’m standing there in shoes, a t-shirt, and my boxer briefs so I wasn’t ready to be going off into the woods.
I shined the light on the red dots and the light did me no good, it was like the light just stopped working so far out so I tried the laser, this was a green laser; idk if you know the difference but green laser you can see the whole beam in the air; I couldn’t see what the beam was hitting but I could definitely see the beam hitting something and stopping on whatever it was. I don’t know why but I moved the green beam up to one of the red dots and both moved, together, down and to my right away from the beam.
I didn’t freak out but I did say out loud “oh fuck me”; when I said that the dots “twinkled”. I turned the light laser off and said “you just want me to know that you’re there”, they twinkled again. I then said “Okay, I’m good, I’m going in now but if you’re there when I’m dressed then I’m coming in”. I never felt like I was in danger during any of this just really unnerved.
A half hour later I came out dressed for work and the red lights were gone. I have had absolutely nothing even remotely weird happen since. I don’t know if this was sasquatch activity or not but I know that something was there.
Strange Familiars writes “Trisha shares stories of her grandfather’s encounters with a possible bigfoot and a UFO/alien; as well as her own stories of meeting an unhuman or possible angel, disembodied voices, and more. Then we hear a recording of Trisha’s grandfather telling a story about a bear encounter.”
Salish Sasquatch writes “We camp with our friends Missy and Alan Martinson in the Cascades, along with a family that has had encounters with Sasquatch for decades.”
A Walk to Remember writes “Goff Elementary School in Moses Lake, Washington, went viral for an unforgettable wildlife scare. On a seemingly normal Tuesday morning, reports of a mountain lion near the school led officials to impose an immediate lockdown to protect students and staff.
However, the alleged predator turned out to be something far less dangerous—a fat cat feasting on a rat.
Washington’s diverse landscapes make it a natural home for mountain lions, so the school took no chances when the sighting was reported. As Claren McLaughlin, the school’s communications officer, noted, this was the first report of its kind, and they acted swiftly to ensure everyone’s safety. After confirming the “mountain lion” was just a plump cat, the lockdown was lifted, and classes resumed, leaving the community with a mix of relief and laughter.
Social media couldn’t get enough of the story, with comments ranging from disbelief that an overweight cat could catch a rat to wild jokes about the cat defeating the mountain lion.
One parent shared that their kids found the incident hilarious, while another commenter recounted a similar childhood experience where wolves turned out to be a golden retriever.”
Stanford University and Google’s DeepMind have released a new research paper showing how they taught an AI model to imitate how people behave. The Generative Agent Simulations of 1,000 People research created digital replicas of real people that can imitate their personalities with 85% accuracy after just a two-hour interview. A couple of hours of chat with an AI, and it’ll learn to simulate your reactions well enough to seem like it’s thinking like you.
The slightly more than a thousand participants in the study started by reading the opening lines of The Great Gatsby to the AI. Apparently, this was the AI equivalent of stretching before a workout. After that, a 2D character asked them questions about their lives, beliefs, jobs, families, and more. With about two hours and an average of 6,491 words, the AI had all it needed to build a digital clone.
The clones seemed to know what they were doing, too. When asked to answer questions from personality tests or general surveys, the AI agents gave answers that matched their real-world counterparts about 85% of the time. Close enough to order for you at a restaurant, with maybe the wrong side dish.
The researchers put these AI clones to the test with economic games like the Prisoner’s Dilemma and the Dictator Game, where participants make choices about cooperation, trust, and sharing resources. While the AI only matched the real person’s decisions around 60% of the time, that’s still more than could be attributed to chance.
The AI might not fool your spouse or closest friend, but from just that short interview, it’s pretty impressive. The AI could imitate decision-making patterns, opinions, and even personality quirks. Think about it: you spend years figuring out who you are, and this AI figures it out in an afternoon. It’s astounding and just a little bit creepy, like all good AI demonstrations.
Stanford and DeepMind see this AI as a way to advance human behavior studies. It’s also a glimpse into how AI can simulate collective human behavior. Want to know how a community might react to a new health policy? Spin up some generative agents. Curious how customers might respond to a bold product redesign? Ask the AI clones. Essentially, it could be an eternal focus group.
Of course, if an AI can learn to mimic you this well after a single interview, what happens when it has access to years’ worth of data? Social media posts, online shopping habits, and even your Spotify playlists could all help teach the AI to be you or at least cater to your preferences, even the ones you didn’t know you had.
There’s plenty of potnetila for misuse by scammers and other malicious actors, but for now, this technology is in the hands of researchers, and the focus is on learning how to make it useful for fields like sociology, psychology, and economics. And it is somewhat inevitable that the technology would move in this direction. There’s nothing more human than creating something that tries so hard to be just like us.
A metal Sasquatch has spurred a buzz in Aldergrove with commuters on 264 Street wondering just who created the 10 ft. tall sculpture. That person is Dan Owens, Langley-born and longtime Aldergrove resident fabricator. Owens began welding at five years old, taught by his father who worked as a steamfitter.
“He taught me to stick weld. We were always in the shop, it was his version of babysitting,” he laughed. Throughout his life, Owens has always been building something. “I build constantly, I don’t go on vacation,” he shared.
Owens’ career includes working in fabrication shops and on various high-end projects, like handrails and steel staircases for houses in North Vancouver, but he said most of his skill was self-taught.
He’s always built signs, tables, or other such items to sell, but came across drawings online that he wanted to build a couple years ago, and ever since has been purchasing designs he liked to build himself.
“I’m not an artist. I get the parts cut, bend them to the right angles… my talent is the welding and the finishing,” he said.
For the Sasquatch, he always planned to put it in his front yard between the trees.
“When you’re driving down the highway, not everybody looks that far off the road. So it’s kind of like, ‘did I just see what I think I saw?’ And I figured it would catch people’s attention,” he told The Star.
It’s made of mild steel and weighs about 800 lbs, Owens said.
He also put a 10 ft. post in the ground and an additional four feet into the the sculpture that it’s mounted on. “He’s so well balanced, he stood on his own in the shop,” Owens added. “I’m sure that’s part of the design.” The Sasquatch will remain on display at his family farm for passersby to enjoy at a distance, he said.
If anyone is interested inquiring with Owens for a metalwork project, be it a sculpture or weld repair, he can be reached at owenscustoms32@gmail.com.
Bob Gymlan writes “This viewer submission occurred in 2018, in Virginia. A man was walking through the woods with a sinister intention when, directly above him in a tree, he noticed a very small bear cub, gripping the tree trunk for dear life. The cub was so close, he could nearly touch it. Moments later, he heard the adult bear moaning and stomping. He about decided that this was the end, when what many call “bigfoot” intervened.
The witness claims that he would not be alive today were it not for this creature, in not one, but two ways. At the time, the man was in a state of extreme mental duress, and according to him, the bigfoot changed that.”
A listener writes “After being denied Ice Skating on Upper Twin Lake by Bridgeport Ca, we decided to hike into Buckeye Canyon. Driving to the trailhead my friend spotted these in the road. We stopped on way home, and I just couldn’t believe how big these were! I didn’t have a tape measure and should’ve put my tiny foot next to it for comparison, but didn’t.
I did however slip on the boiler plate ice and busted my ass for some scale 😂 I’m 5’5”” and about 155 lbs. I just wanted to hear your thoughts? Melted huge bear prints? Snowshoe? Sasquatch? Dog man? They were bipedal unless the other tracks were in the hard ice part of road.
I went back a week later to take video and measurements and they were melted and gone.

Tonight I will be speaking to Jessica and her husband Shane. We will wrap up with Don from Florida.
Jessica writes “My husband and I were pig hunting one night. We hadn’t been at our spot very long when my husband, who is 6’6 and not scared of anything, screamed at me to get in the truck. The fear in his voice unnerved me, but I couldn’t stop staring at what I was seeing… Approximately 60 yards from where I was positioned, I could see the grass parting like something tall and fast was coming towards me, but there was nothing there that I could see.
I could hear it coming, I could see the grass parting, and tree branches breaking and snapping back, but there was NOTHING visible. I just stood there, frozen, right till the last second. My husband broke the spell by opening my door and yelling for me to get inside the vehicle. He was just in time, too, because whatever it was hit the car and circled us while scraping it’s claws into the sides of our vehicle. When we finally gained the courage to get out and look at our car, the claw marks were clearly visible and tree branches were scattered everywhere. We left!
The next day, when the sun was up, we returned to look for tracks, but what we found was far more intriguing. The tops of the trees had been ripped out and arranged in a perfect circle where our vehicle had been parked.
I’ve never shared this in writing, so forgive any grammatical errors.”
Don writes “It was 2004 and happened after I moved from southern California to Florida in a newly built neighborhood that was previously very rural. I couldn’t get to my neighborhood without running over hundreds of snakes and frogs and this that, and the other just to get there after it was built.
It’s where all the locals used to talk about going to the woods. They used to go out to do 4×4, what they call mudding. Two other people were with me when the encounter happened. When I got back, my wife at the time rolled her eyes, but this was very real. The boys I was with thought it was a grinch because it was tall and skinny that can only compare it to that at the time, so they called it the Gray Grinch (a very scary version)
I knew exactly what it was, so when I was asked by the family what it was, I said it was a SMOKED OUT BIGFOOT meaning it looked like it was sasquatch smoking crack or something because it looked very skinny and gray… I even tried to make it light hearted when trying to tell people by joking about its appearance, but in fact it really scared the crap out of us.
Mysteries Unknown writes “In tonight’s podcast I talk with Ron who has had several encounters with Bigfoot in the state of Oklahoma. He has had these creatures use mind speak with him and has had a Class A Encounter with a bigfoot creature crossing the road while out exploring with a Native American Tribe.”

We have been experiencing cold temperatures. I don’t think that is the cause but I woke up this morning to a broken water pipe. I had to turn the water off at the street. I am trying to get a plumber to come out but I can’t get a hold of anyone today. I am going to try to get to it and fix it myself. I will post the member show tomorrow. I apologize to everyone for the inconvenience.
Gene writes “I was around 13 or 14. It was about the third weekend of November. I know this because I was deer hunting. We were on land belonging to Peabody coal company in Muhlenberg county. At that time was 62,000 acres of reclaimed coal land.
It was around 4 pm. I was standing in a field looking north, my father had went down a holler to the west of me. I heard my father shoot three times. This was strange because he always shot once and a deer was down. I then moved to the mouth of the holler to see if any deer would be running my direction. I then started to hear people talking, I could not understand what was being said, but I could hear it. I thought well dad is talking to someone and has killed a deer. I proceeded to head down the holler to help him.The holler was open hard woods and you could see a long ways, except for right at the bottom where a intermediate stream was.
I got about 50 yards from the brush when two animals busted out of it running straight at me. They were covered with long reddish brown hair about three inches long and were knuckle walking like a great ape. They were about four feet at the shoulder and their hips were lower than their shoulders and knees. Their faces were flat and I saw no ears.They were chattering to each other or something else and that was the voices I heard “talking”. While at this time in my life I did believe in Bigfoot, since my father was a long haul truck driver and another truck driver had claimed a Bigfoot had run behind my dads truck near the Kentucky-Tennessee line, but for me Bigfoot was single creature that walked up right. Anyway, these two animals are running straight at the 13/14 year old me and I do not know what they are.I yank my 30:06 rifle up and fire. I do not think I even aimed, just shot towards them. When I did this there was a big noise behind me and I remember thinking “ they have me surrounded” I spun around to defend myself and saw a squirrel running up a hickory tree right beside me. I spun back around to the threat I knew and they had already crossed the brush bottom and was halfway up the ridge on the other side and I shot at them once more as they run off. They very fast.
Once I meet up with my father, he confirmed that he had also shot at these creatures, but was shook up enough to have missed three times. We tried to convince ourselves that these were some sort of wolf and lived under that delusion for many years, until I began studying primates on an academic level, did I let myself believe what I know to be true all along.One thing that scares me to this day is the thought of were they chattering to each other or to mom or dad that was near by that I never saw. I have hunted that area since I was 12 and I just turned 50 this year and I have never set foot in that holler again.”
