Randal writes “It was summer of 1986. I was living outside of Seattle in a hotel for work, did not know anyone but being an adventurous guy from Missouri, I spent my weekends backpacking the Pacific NW. In my 20’s and in my physical prime, looked for challenges. Most of my backpack trips were throughout the Cascades and Olympic Mountains, by myself! Never feared much (until one nerve racking experience near Denali in Alaska but that’s another story).

I had driven up to Sunrise on the NE side of Mount Rainier to backpack to Frozen Lake at the base of Mount Fremont (7214‘ msl) on the flanks of Mt Rainier. I was standing next to my Ford Bronco II getting my pack ready and had a guy walk up to me and ask me if I was a caver. I told him yes. He ask me about my license plate that had the National Speleological Society (NSS) on it and bat stickers on my rear window. He said he was a caver originally from Indiana. I told him about the Cave I own in Arkansas (Ennis Cave, Stone County Arkansas), 7 miles long, 100’ waterfall, large chambers, underground rivers and lakes – very cool. We hit it off and he ask where I was going. His name was Randy as well and he was with his wife Laura and we were going to the same place and he ask me to join him. I said sure and the 3 of us headed out.

We were the only ones backpacking that area. We settled in above the lake (you must stay away from the lake to protect it). It was about midnight and my friend Randy told me him and Laura were going to sit at the lake and watch for wildlife. I tagged along. We sat leaning up against a large log at one end of the lake. There was a full moon and the reflection of Mt Rainier was beautifully displayed on the lake surface of the lake. We sat there quiet for about 30 minutes when a large, walking upright animal came out of the trees on the other end of the lake, walked down by the lake and stopped looking directly across the lake (~200 feet) at where we were sitting. No one said anything, we just stared and watch this thing standing quietly without moving for at least 10 minutes. No doubt in our mind we say a very large animal walking on 2 legs, lots of moonlight to display it. Could not tell details like if it was hairy or what color it was.

After it turned and walked back into the trees my friend Randy turned to me and said “do you know what that was”. Before I could say anything his wife Laura said “that was Sasquatch!” I felt the same way. We were still pretty speechless not knowing how to process what we just say. We decided to head to the tents and investigate in the morning. I did not sleep much that night, nor did Randy and Laura. Naturally we heard all kinds of noises and I was on edge. Woke up to the ground shaking around me thinking there was an earthquake in the mountain being it’s a dormant volcano – it was a heard of elk moving past us to the meadow to feed as the sun was coming up. What a beautiful sight.

After we ate breakfast, we went down to the lake to look around. We looked at the trees behind where it was standing to size it up – thinking it was 7-8 feet tall. Found no tracks and noticed the ground was such we weren’t leaving tracks either so no surprise. No evidence it had been there to me and I’m not an expert on such things.

In summary, I’m not sure what we saw. I do know it was NOT human, walked on 2 feet, around 7-9 feet tall, moves slow and methodically, and left no evidence except for 3 people seeing it from about 200’ away for 10 minutes so it wasn’t a flash by experience. No smells and not sure the direction of the wind or if any, no sound, just the full moon across a small lake showing the nonhuman creature in the moonlight. I know what I believe it was but have no other proof other than my experience.

I have several interesting stories at my cave in Arkansas. There have been dozens of witnesses seeing, hearing, other somehow connecting with unknowns. Orbs, red eyes in the woods, Sasquatch sites by the White River and behind a abandoned cabin by the cave. Rocks and sticks thrown at our cabin at night, loud guttural sounds outside but no sightings. Let me know if that story is of interest. It involves 40 years of me owning the cave in the remote woods of northern Arkansas.”

A listener writes “I listen to your podcast and finally have the courage to talk about this. I’m not an outspoken person about this incident due to people thinking I’m crazy but I figure now is the time to come out about it. My Three other friends who this happened to are still scarred until this day and refuse to speak on it.

So here’s what happened at Cuyahoga Valley national park. I was camping with some friends. There was 4 of us going up there to camp / hike and enjoy the outdoors. This happened sometime in July or August of 2019 but I can’t remember exactly what day it happened. Just as we set up camp we had the bright idea to go hiking. This was right about 7-8 pm at night when the park was closed but there was still daylight out.

We started hiking near the Cuyahoga river on the towpath trail. We were hiking for a good half or so down this path and all of a sudden we had something throwing sticks that slowly progressed to rocks at us. At first we thought it was teens playing tricks on us but the longer it progressed we started to smell something pungent and our hair stood straight up.

By this time the sun had gone completely dark and all we had was our phone lights to guide us. We all started running back to camp as quick as we could but whatever was tracking us was faster bigger and stronger. We eventually got winded then it all stopped. Dead silent the woods were extremely quiet and still and very eerie. Suddenly we heard the loudest growl we ever heard sort of like an angry wolf / bear.

A friend of mine who had a firearm on him shined the weapon mounted light into the tree line where we were and we all caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a giant man / humanoid around 7.5 feet tall and as shown as the light shined on it it retreated backwards and never to be seen again. We then gathered our breathe and ran back to the camp as quick as we could and got into our tents.

As we slept we heard multiple loud sounds outside our tent and sticks breaking. In the morning when we woke up our camp was destroyed and a pile of rocks was stacked up by the fire pit. We all agreed to never camp there again.”

NBC news reports “A police search is underway after 43 monkeys escaped from a research facility in South Carolina on Wednesday night.

Police in Yemassee, Beaufort County, said the Rhesus macaque primates escaped from Alpha Genesis, a business that provides “nonhuman primate products and bio-research services,” according to its website.

The monkeys were a group of “very young females” that have never been used for testing. An Alpha Genesis spokesperson confirmed to police that the animals “are too young to carry disease,” according to police statement.

“Alpha Genesis currently have eyes on the primates and are working to entice them with food,” police said Thursday afternoon.

Traps have also been set up and officers are using thermal imaging cameras in an attempt to recapture the animals, police said.

“Residents are strongly advised to keep doors and windows secured to prevent these animals from entering homes,” Yemassee Sheriff’s Department said in a statement. Anyone who finds a monkey should not interact with it but instead call 911, it said.

The company works with monkeys to carry out clinical trials, including on brain disease disorder treatments, and says it has “one of the largest and most comprehensive nonhuman primate facilities, designed specifically for monkeys, in the United States.”

Alpha Genesis did not immediately respond to an overnight request for comment from NBC News.

The company secured a federal contract to run a colony of 3,500 monkeys on Morgan Island off the coast of South Carolina, also known as Monkey Island.

The Post and Courier newspaper in Beaufort County reported that primate escapes have happened several times before in the area, including in May this year, and in 2016 when 19 evaded security at Alpha Genesis before they were recaptured six hours later.

In 2022, three monkeys escaped following a traffic accident in rural Pennsylvania.”

Danshee Mysteries writes “This write up is about a famous disappearance that has since become incorporated into Bigfoot lore. It covers the 1966 source that made the disappearance famous, followed by two contemporary 1950 newspaper articles that contain somewhat different details.

Ape Canyon is a gorge on the southeast portion of Mount St. Helens in the American state of Washington.

The canyon became so named when a group of miners alleged that “apemen” (aka BigFoot, Sasquatch) attacked their cabin one night in 1924 (detailed in the Slate article linked below).

The 1966 book entitled Do Abominable Snowmen of America Really Exist? by Roger Patterson published another story about Ape Canyon. It was a reprint of an August 1963 newspaper article from the Longview Times entitled Ape Canyon Holds Unsolved Mystery by staff writer Marge Davenport.

Summary of the 1966 reprint of the 1963 Article

Jim Carter, 32, was an experienced skier and mountaineer who disappeared from the slopes of Mount St. Helens in May of 1950. He was with a 20-member climbing party from Seattle.

Bob Lee, a well known Portland mountaineer and member of the Seattle Mountain Search and Rescue, said, “Dr. Otto Trott, Lee Stark and I finally came to the conclusion that the apes got him.” (Note: the 1966 book uses the term apes but some online sources I found use the term mountain devils).

Lee described the search for Carter as “the most eerie experience I have ever had.” Every time Lee found himself alone, he felt that he was being watched.

“I could feel the hair on my neck standing up,” Lee said. “It was eerie. I was unarmed, except for my ice ax and, believe me, I never let go of that.”

Carter and his party had climbed Mount St. Helens. On their way back down, Carter skied to a landmark named Dog’s Head with the intention of photographing the rest of the group as they skied down to the timberline. Dog’s Head was situated at about 8000 feet altitude and was destroyed when Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980.

Carter was never seen again.

His discarded film box was found where he had taken a picture. From that point, Lee says that Carter appears to have skied down the mountain in a great panic, “taking chances that no skier of his caliber would take, unless something was terribly wrong or he was being pursued.”

“He jumped over two or three large crevasses and evidently was going like the devil.”

Carter’s tracks reached the side of Ape Canyon but they didn’t find him at the bottom at all. As many as 75 persons spent the next five days searching the canyon, but no trace of Carter was ever found. The search was called off after two weeks.

If Lee saw large footprints near Carter’s ski tracks then that detail was missing from the article.

Summary of the 1950 Articles

I found two articles from May 1950 in the California Digital Newspaper Collection about the disappearance of a Joe Carter who disappeared while skiing at Mount St. Helens.

Both of these articles were published while the search was still ongoing. The Madera Tribune of May 23rd says that Carter was 18 and that a helicopter was to be dispatched to search for him. The San Bernardino Sun article of May 25th says that Carter was 32 (agreeing with the Patterson reprint) and that he was diabetic. This detail isn’t in the Patterson reprint.

This article also says that “Carter’s tracks near Ape canyon tonight indicated he had turned into total wilderness during the last 24 hours.” There’s nothing in this article to indicate if Carter was or wasn’t fleeing something. It sounds like he just entered the tree-line in a calm and deliberate manner.

The article also says, “Carter apparently abandoned his skis late Sunday or early Monday. Stanger and Don Rascom traced the man’s tracks by plane again this afternoon towards the Eagle Crick ranger station before they disappeared into complete wilderness.”

The article ends by mentioning the “apemen” that were believed by some indigenous peoples to inhabit the valley, and also refers to the 1924 incident which gave the canyon its name.

Neither of the 1950 articles mentioned Lee (of course, there were as many as 75 people involved in the search)

BGR.com reports “What if scientists could take cells from both living and dead organisms and turn them into entirely new organisms beyond life and death? While it might sound completely out of this world—something you’d expect to see in a science fiction novel—that’s precisely what scientists have done, going so far as to create a “third state” of existence.

This groundbreaking accomplishment is highlighted in a new study review published in the journal Physiology , with the researchers showcasing the methods they used to achieve it. In an essay published in The Conversation , biologists Peter Noble and Alex Pozhitkov—co-authors of the new review—say that this new “third state” will challenge how all scientists understand cell behavior.

But it isn’t just this new third state beyond life and death that excites so many. See, organisms have long been known to change in ways that we don’t fully understand. As such, it is more impressive that the biobots developed by these scientists have entirely new functions that really set them apart from other organisms.

Overeating sugary foods and drinks could be linked to depression

Some organisms make unexpected changes, like caterpillars, which metamorphose into butterflies. While these radical changes are part of a predetermined path for the cells, the biobots allow the researchers to create something that does things beyond what it was originally engineered and programmed to do—like repair damaged neuron cells in a nearby petri dish.

These kinds of radical movements are what make these organisms beyond life and death so exciting—and so interesting to learn about. There’s still a lot we don’t know about them, and more research will hopefully help us determine how to create other organisms in that mysterious third state.

This new pill can mimic the effects of a workout while you sit on the couch

For now, though, we can at least look forward to seeing what these scientists do next. These developments could help us further develop other living robots, like biobots and xenobots, which can accomplish tasks that scientists wouldn’t expect.”

Electrochemical storage technologies are essential to modern life, fueling everything from smartphones to sustainable transportation. Yet, the roots of this technology extend deep into antiquity, far beyond today’s lithium-ion marvels. The so-called Baghdad Battery is among the most mysterious artifacts in the annals of ancient technology.

Unearthed in 1936 near the ruins of Ctesiphon, this assembly of a ceramic pot, copper tube, and iron rod presents a puzzle that has baffled the scientific community for nearly a century.

Was it an ancient tool for electrochemical energy storage, or does its significance lie elsewhere? The debate continues, as does the quest to unlock the secrets of our electrochemical past.

Exploring the Baghdad Battery’s archaeological context

The Baghdad Battery was discovered in 1936 at Khujut Rabu, near Baghdad, Iraq, not far from the historical metropolis of Ctesiphon, the capital city during both the Parthian (150 BC – 223 AD) and Sasanian (224–650 AD) empires.

The artifact consists of a ceramic pot about 140 mm tall, a copper tube created from a rolled copper sheet, and an iron rod centrally positioned within the copper tube. This unusual assembly has led to significant debate regarding its purpose and origins.

Initial hypothesis by Wilhelm König
In 1938, Wilhelm König, then the director of the National Museum of Iraq, posited a theory that captured the imagination of many. He suggested that these artifacts could be remnants of a galvanic cell, potentially used for electroplating or electrotherapy. This hypothesis was inspired by the object’s design and materials, which are conducive to creating a galvanic reaction when an acidic or electrolytic solution is added.

Archaeological context

• Discovery Circumstances : The artifacts were discovered while constructing a railway line, exposing several ancient graves and their contents. Such incidental discoveries often provide a rare glimpse into the past, though they can sometimes lead to less systematic recovery of artifacts.
• Cultural and Temporal Relation : The artifacts were located in an area rich with history, once ruled by the Parthian empire from 150 BC to 223 AD and subsequently by the Sasanian empire from 224 to 650 AD. The ceramic style and the construction technique of the metal components suggest a Sasanian origin.
• Comparable Finds : Similar artifacts were found in nearby regions such as Seleucia and Ctesiphon. Some of these artifacts, found under controlled archaeological conditions, included clay jars with copper cylinders and iron rods, resembling the components of the Baghdad Battery. These jars were often sealed with bitumen, indicating that they might have held papyrus scrolls, possibly hinting at ceremonial or storage uses.

From myth to science: Investigating the Baghdad Battery’s true purpose

The Baghdad Battery continues to spark diverse theories regarding its purpose, ranging from practical to spiritual applications, reflecting the enigmatic nature of its design and construction.

Electroplating theory

Some scholars suggest that the Baghdad Battery may have been used to electroplate precious metals like gold or silver onto less valuable objects. However, no known electroplated objects from the same period exist.

The use of asphalt as a sealant and evidence of corrosive properties inside the jar indicates that it may have contained an acidic substance, such as vinegar or wine, which could have served as the electrolytic solution needed for electroplating.

Medical use

The potential medical applications of the Baghdad Battery include electrotherapy, which might have been used for pain relief and other treatments. This theory gains support from the discovery of bronze and iron needles alongside the batteries in Seleucia, suggesting they could have been used for acupuncture practices known in China at the time.

Additionally, historical records indicate that ancient Greeks and Romans may have used electric fish to treat ailments such as headaches and gout, indicating familiarity with electrical treatments.

Spiritual use

Another intriguing possibility is that the Baghdad Battery was employed in religious or spiritual rituals. One hypothesis posits that it was used to electrify religious idols, creating a shocking experience when touched, thereby imbuing the object with a sense of divine or supernatural power.

However, if the battery had been intended to store and preserve sacred scrolls, the presence of an electrolytic liquid would have made document preservation unsuitable, complicating this theory.

Experimental replications

Researchers have attempted to replicate the Baghdad Battery to understand its functionality and potential uses:

Willard Gray : Following World War II, Gray conducted experiments showing that when filled with grape juice, a reconstruction of the Baghdad Battery could produce an electric current, lending some credence to the theory of its use as a galvanic cell.

Arne Eggebrecht, 1978 : Eggebrecht attempted to use a reconstruction of the Baghdad Battery to electroplate gold onto a small statue. Although the experiment reportedly succeeded, no direct records (photographic or written) of the procedure or results exist, which has led to skepticism among the scientific community.

Modern scientific opinion

The interpretation of the Baghdad Battery has seen varied opinions, from enthusiastic support of its capabilities to staunch skepticism:

Scholarly Consensus : The archaeological community remains predominantly skeptical of the battery theory. Many experts argue that the artifacts were likely used for more conventional purposes, such as storage vessels for sacred scrolls, based on similar findings at nearby sites and the cultural context of the time. The electroplating theory is particularly disputed due to the lack of definitive archaeological evidence supporting the existence of electroplating knowledge during the Baghdad Battery’s era.

MythBusters, 2005 : The popular science show built replicas of the jars, using lemon juice as an electrolyte, and demonstrated that they could produce about 4 volts of electricity when connected in series. This setup was capable of minor electroplating and electrostimulation but not strong enough to deliver a significant electric shock.

Recent analyses

• Examination of Galvanic Cell Properties : Studies have compared the properties of the Baghdad Battery’s materials and construction to ancient and modern electrochemical cells. These analyses aim to understand whether the assembly could function as a battery and under what conditions it might have been effective.
• Comparative Technological Assessments : Comparisons with other known ancient technologies suggest that while the Baghdad Battery might have been technologically feasible, using such devices for electroplating or medical therapy remains highly speculative without further concrete evidence.

The evolution of battery Technology

From speculative ancient devices like the Baghdad Battery to today’s sophisticated systems, the evolution of battery technology reflects a continual push towards more efficient, safe, and high-capacity energy storage solutions.

The journey to modern battery technology began with Alessandro Volta’s invention of the Voltaic Pile in 1791. This device, which produced about 1V from zinc and copper plates separated by brine-soaked paper, marked the first true battery and set the stage for future developments in electrochemical storage.

The 19th century saw the introduction of the lead-acid battery, the first rechargeable battery to be widely used, particularly in automobiles. Despite its drawbacks—significant weight and a limited lifespan—it was a pivotal development. The early 20th century brought Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries, offering improved energy density and longer cycle life but accompanied by environmental and health concerns.

A major advancement occurred in 1991 with Sony’s commercialization of lithium-ion batteries, which achieved energy densities up to 275 Wh/kg by 2020. These batteries revolutionized portable electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and relative lightness.

Looking ahead, solid-state batteries using non-flammable solid lithium conductors are on the horizon. These promise even higher energy densities, exceeding 600 Wh/kg, and enhanced safety. While still under development, solid-state technology aims to address many limitations of current lithium-ion batteries, potentially transforming energy storage for a wide range of applications.

The Confessionals writes “In episode 702: Surviving A Doomsday Cult, Jon, from The 21CD Podcast, and his brother AJ revisit a haunting chapter of their past; a childhood on remote land under the influence of a mystifying figure who seemed determined to shape their family’s beliefs. Isolated from the outside world, they found themselves woven into strange rituals and kept under strict rules that made their lives feel increasingly unreal. Now, they reveal what it was like to grow up in a hidden cult and share stories that have never been told before. The experience changed them, but their search for answers didn’t end there.

Years later, a journey to Iceland brought them face-to-face with something that was so shocking, they couldn’t believe it. During a late-night hike through an ancient landscape, shadowy figures moved on the cliffs above them, blending folklore with bone-chilling reality. In this episode, they share their tales of life on the edge of two worlds, the real and the supernatural.”

A listener writes “I have been somewhat reluctant to talk about what I believe to be two possible back to back bigfoot encounters on opposite ends of the country within about two months of one another. I have always been a fan of bigfoot, and grew up on the classic TV shows, but I always assumed it was simply part of mythology. After graduating from college with a focus in Anthropology, I was convinced Sasquatch wasn’t real. My mind was recently blown when I was on vacation in the redwoods with my wife in June.

We stayed at an Air Bnb just outside Mckinleyville, CA. I am a huge fly fisherman and I brought my rod along to see if I could land a few trout on our trip. There was a pull off on the roadside just down the hill from where we were staying with a trail that led to the river. I saw an older man pulled over there one of the days and asked if I was allowed to use that trail to get to the river or if it was private property. He said it was public so my wife and I walked down there to check it out.

I fished for about an hour and the sun started to set and we didn’t want to be trapped out there in the dark without a flashlight so we packed up and headed back down the trail to the car. The trail was significantly longer than either of us had thought because it wound along the side of the river for a while. We were chatting about what we wanted to do for dinner and were glad to have had such a nice day on vacation.

Just as we were about to take the final corner that would take us up a small incline to our rental car, I heard this ungodly yell and it made my blood run cold. It was the loudest noise that I have ever heard in the woods. It was like a death metal singer yelling right in my face at full volume but louder than that. I don’t know how else to describe it. My wife and I have both Thru-hiked the Appalachian trail and I shoot wildlife documentaries all over the country and I can tell you for a fact that it was NOT a bear because bears don’t sound like death metal singers yelling in your face. It wasn’t like an elk, or any sound I’ve ever heard from North American wildlife.

We calmly walked back to the car acting as if it were a bear and remaining calm and walking slowly. We got in and headed back to the air bnb. I stayed up until about 2 am listening to every sound I could think of on youtube that It could possibly have been but I couldn’t find anything that sounded like it. Within the following days the sound lingered in my mind, but as I got back from vacation the memory faded and I wrote it off as “probably a homeless person hiding in the woods.” All of my “bigfoot friends” said it was DEFINITELY a bigfoot, but any time I’ve been in the woods with them they said that EVERYTHING was a bigfoot so I didn’t take what they told me with any heed.

Two months later I was visiting my friend who owns a fly fishing and custom fly rod building shop on Lake Toledo Bend in Texas. He flew me out from Ohio to take some photos and videos for his website and to do some fishing. My friend Chester Moore picked me up from the airport and we drove out to my friend’s house. We got in late and had to be up early to leave on the boat to get sunrise photos so we exchanged greetings and went to bed.

We were standing on the boat ramp at 5 am waiting for the captain to get everything ready. His property is surrounded fully on all sides by the Sabine National Forest. Chester and I were standing at the boat, and the captain ran inside the house to grab something he forgot. As we stood on the shoreline, the most classic sounding WHOOOOOOOOP rang out from deep in the woods. I looked at Chester and said “You’ve got to be f****** kidding me” and 5 seconds later we heard a response, a short whoop from a completely different direction in the woods.

The captain came back out all cheer and ready for the day and we went out and got the work done we needed to do. My head was spinning all day but neither Chester nor I wanted to bring it up with our friend in the boat. When we got back on land, Chester pulled out his phone and played the whoop sound from Legend Meets Science (I think). It was the exact same sound.

Hearing something once is easy to write off. Hearing something 2x in a short window has left me confused and questioning everything I believe.

I’ve listened to Sasquatch Chronicles for many years because I enjoy the stories but they’ve taken on a whole different perspective for me now.

I am also the creator of the Wildman of the Woods Documentaries which you have been sharing and I appreciate that very much. I started making them for my dad because he said “They don’t make any bigfoot movies anymore like they used to” and I just kept making them for fun.

I wanted to share my encounters with you since I have been listening to everyone on your show for years and it has really helped me to come to terms with the reality shattering moments over the last few months.”
