From The Shadows writes “Land Between The Lakes: What started out as a thermal camera demonstration for a friend may have turned into some of the most compelling footage ever recorded of a Dogman. Pat and Joe join us to share some very interesting thermal footage of a bipedal creature in the Land Between the Lakes area in Kentucky.”

The Confessionals writes “On this episode of Slingshot Nation, Nick shares an encounter that still doesn’t make sense. It started with a strange light in the sky. Then came missing time. Not long after, something large and bipedal was seen moving through the trees. The sounds weren’t normal. The atmosphere wasn’t normal. And the experience didn’t seem to end that night.

Since then, Nick says there have been ongoing synchronicities, strange moments, and a growing feeling that whatever happened may not have been random. Was he simply in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or was something positioning him there for a reason?”

Stacy writes “If you’re serious about Bigfoot research — or just getting started — the right equipment makes all the difference. In this episode of The Bigfoot Underground, I break down the five essential tools every real investigator should have in the field to turn encounters into evidence.
From capturing unexplained sounds to tracking movement through dense forests, these are the same tools used by experienced researchers to document patterns, locate hotspots, and investigate sightings the right way.
👣 In this video we cover:
• Why audio recorders are more important than cameras
• How trail cameras help reveal movement and patterns
• Why thermal is a game-changer at night
• How footprint casting creates physical evidence
• How GPS mapping turns stories into real data
Whether you’re new to Bigfoot research or you’ve been investigating for years, this guide will help you avoid common mistakes and focus on what actually works in the field.”

Strange Familiars writes “Ross tells about a horrid-looking, tall, pale being which hung around his boyhood home, beckoning him from the trees. After making a deal with a faun-like entity to get rid of the pale thing, it later returned, perhaps drawn by occult practice.”

The people of Seward, Alaska saw some strange things happening over 30 years ago when a big spaceship circled their town for hours with intense lights.

A listener writes “On August 17th, 2023, I was camping with a close friend In Stephen’s state forest in south central Iowa, not far from the Missouri border. It is very remote for the Midwest in that area. There are no electrical lines in this particular forest, so no lights.

My friend and I got into the forest at dusk and set up camp. We saw no vehicles as we drove through the forest and the campsite we stayed at was completely empty.

Twenty minutes or so after setting up camp, we heard an incredibly loud sound from the northwest corner of the camp. It was so loud it made us both jump and all of my hair immediately stood on end. The sound was like a howler monkey whooping, but it sounded like it was the size of a minivan.

Immediately after this, about 150 feet south of us in the tree line, another noise happened. It sounded like Babe Ruth was in the forest slamming a bat against a tree. There were 6 whacks or knocks. They came in 3 successions of twos. Knock knock. Knock knock. Knock knock.

That night we got chased out of the campsite by 3 or 4 of these creatures. It kept me out of the woods for a long time.

I would love to tell you the whole experience.”

The Confessionals writes “In this harrowing episode, Tony speaks with Hope Beryl-Green, survivor who was born into MKUltra programming, ritual abuse, and organized trafficking hidden behind the appearance of a normal American childhood.

Hope describes being tortured in secret hospital settings, trafficked through churches, and psychologically programmed to believe she was evil and beyond redemption. She shares chilling details about astral trafficking, spiritual meetings held beyond the physical realm, and her abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, including why her testimony was excluded from official narratives.

As the conversation unfolds, Hope explains how the system infiltrates churches, schools, and families in order to weaponize victims against truth. The episode turns toward hope as she recounts her rescue through believers who refused to give up, years of deprogramming, and the healing power of Jesus Christ. Today, Hope leads HBG International, a ministry dedicated to helping survivors find freedom and exposing the darkness that thrives on silence.”

A listener writes “This took place in June of 2025, around the Appalachia trail. It’s very important to me that I keep my personal identity private. My job has me working with local law enforcement.

One of the first things my wife said to me when I told her the story which I completely understand. Was that telling people about this would threaten my credibility in my professional career.

Which I ultimately agree with. Honestly, I don’t know how to go about this, I’m going to kind of try to keep my story short. That way I don’t end up sending you an entire novel. But I can of course elaborate if need be. Overall this was nearly my entire day.

A little bit about me that pertains to this story. I’ve worked outdoors quite a bit, one of my first jobs had me working with large reptiles and other non-indigenous species. I would catch and relocate. I’ve also done a lot of private security, and like I mentioned currently work with my local law enforcement. In my personal time, love to go hiking and do what’s called Bushcraft and or primitive camping.

For the actual event in question. I have been dropped off by my wife, I do this all the time. The idea is I’ll get dropped off on one day. Spend a couple of days in the woods. Do some Bushcraft do some hiking, and at a secondary location be picked up. I always set up an emergency rendezvous, should anything happen. Since in these situations cell service is almost never an option.

So on this day I had gone out, pretty moderate weather for the time of year. I had hiked out until I found an area that I felt like I wanted to set up camp. So I threw my tarp, started to collect my firewood. And I wanted to go ahead and make sure I had enough water. Since boiling does take some time. So I walked out to this this Little River, the water was running fairly rough. There was even a nice little waterfall.

While I was crouched down next to the river collecting my water and this is where everything actually happens. I heard a sound that I can only describe as a scream mixed with a roar I’ve never heard anything like that before, and I am very familiar with the animals that I would encounter in that area. It sounds fairly absurd, but the sound was so intense that it physically resonated with me. As if I could feel it pierce my very body. My initial reaction was to fall backwards, which happened without me Even thinking about it. It was as if I got pushed.

Because the sound made no sense to me in any rational manner. My immediate instinct was that it was somebody making a joke of me, which of course makes no sense, it was way too isolated for anybody to do that. Not to mention the sound could not be made by a person without technology. So I screamed back in a very threatening manner. The Scream repeated itself and I started to hear banging as well. I’m not sure if that was trees or rocks or what. But the scream was in tandem with extremely loud banging.

So at this point I started to realize I was in a situation that I did not have control over. But I proceeded as though I was being threatened by an animal. Which I suppose I technically was. So I started to walk backwards facing the scream, that was relatively on repeat. Once I had some distance from the river and was sort of back inside the trees, that’s when I sprinted back to my campsite. I gave myself a minute to collect my thoughts, and figure out what I was going to do.

Here is where I first start to feel scared or nervous. Which I’m not ashamed to say, but not to sound arrogant. That’s not really something that comes easy to me, feeling that way. I quickly became overly aware of how quiet it was, and I felt extremely exposed. And the only reason I noticed how quiet it was, was because I could hear walking. I’m trained enough to know what two feet sounds like, and I heard two feet walking in the woods. Again from my life experience I was also able to tell that whatever was walking was pretty big.

I unholstered my sidearm, that I always bring with me when I go into the bush. Just in case I ever need to scare off a bear or a big cat. I grabbed my backpack, kicked out my fire and left the rest of my gear and started to Make my way down the mountain. Again. I’m trying not to drag this out and type an entire novel to you. But the entire way down I could still hear these noises. Walking, grunting, banging, etc.

I had hours to walk before I had cell signal to contact my wife to drive out and get me. So I had nothing but time to think, and other than thinking about the actual experience itself. It had me questioning everything else I’ve ever heard in the woods. Your audience probably won’t like this, but I’m not a believer, I’m pretty skeptical on the matter. But this experience really made me question the matter.

And it made me think of two other experiences that I had in the woods. One years ago. Honestly, I can’t even remember what the year was, I must have been in my early twenties, I’m about 35 now. When I was working a security site up in Alabama, we heard some pretty crazy noises in the woods. And then another time when I was canoeing in the Ocala national Forest, this one my wife was a part of. And we heard something that I can only describe as a freight train going through the woods, and killing a hog.”

Grassman58 writes “It’s been a very mild winter. Spent this January leaving audio recorders out in a few different locations.”

Beyond Bigfoot & Beyond writes “In this special episode from the “Beyond Bigfoot & Beyond” archives, Cliff Barackman, James “Bobo” Fay, and Matt Pruitt welcome their significant others to the podcast to answer questions from the membership! Originally released as a members-only episode in 2024, this conversation with Melissa, Carita, and Emily was the first of an annual Valentine’s Day tradition highlighting the ladies behind the scenes of the podcast!”

Tonight we will be speaking to Jane. Jane sent me an email talking about this incident that happened to her and her family over 50 years ago in Colorado while on a family trip. Jane’s mother moved around a lot when Jane was a child.

They moved to Washington State into a trailer in the middle of the forest. She describes something large pushing on their trailer trying to get the family dog. Jane said “We all heard it, it was talking or mumbling like a person but it wasn’t a person.

We will be discussing a series of events in her life, she has been reflecting on including this very recent strange event with her daughter while in California. It wasn’t a Sasquatch encounter but it was strange.

A listener writes “Dear Wes, I’ve been a fan of your show for years, and it’s honestly helped me make sense of a number of strange experiences that, at the time, felt like isolated and unrelated events. Listening to your show later on was what finally allowed the pieces to click.

The first incident happened when we owned a property on Vancouver Island in an area called Fanny Bay. Our land backed onto a large estuary, separated by only a thin strip of forest. One night, after putting our daughter to bed, my wife and I were sitting on the back deck enjoying a glass of wine. In the middle of a comfortable silence, the woods suddenly exploded with movement. One moment everything was completely still; the next, it sounded like a bulldozer tearing through the forest at full speed. Trees were crashing and snapping, and then it abruptly stopped.

What followed was a sound I can only describe as the lion’s roar from the old MGM movies except amplified through a massive rock concert sound system. It was so loud I felt it in my gut. We both dropped our wine glasses and ran inside, shaking and white as ghosts. At the time, we explained it away as a cougar taking down a deer. Years later, after finding your show and hearing so many similar accounts, I looked into it more deeply and learned that cougars can’t actually roar they purr. That realization really stuck with me.

The next event occurred after we sold that property and bought 2.5 acres on Denman Island, directly across the water from Fanny Bay. The land backed onto nearly 100 acres of protected forest. During the first phase of building, we were sleeping together in a yurt the main living space. If you’ve ever been in a yurt, you know it’s essentially a heavy duty tent, and you hear everything outside very clearly.

One night around 3 a.m., in the middle of January, it was absolutely pouring rain. My wife and daughter wore earplugs because of the rain pounding on the roof, but I never did I didn’t like the idea of being unable to hear in an emergency. I woke up to the sound of something hitting the tree right outside the yurt with unbelievable force. It sounded like the world’s strongest man vaporizing a baseball bat against the trunk. No human could have made that sound. It was so loud I felt it in my bones.

At that point, I had some awareness of tree knocks from other sources, but I hadn’t discovered your show yet. About 10–15 seconds later, I heard another tree knock this one much farther away, deep in the forest reserve. After that, nothing. I stayed awake until sunrise.

Two years passed with no further incidents, and I more or less forgot about it. We eventually built an addition onto the yurt with bedrooms and a bathroom. Our bedroom had two large windows beside the bed on my side, and a sliding glass door at the foot of the bed.

One evening in April or May, just before full dark, I was sitting on the bed meditating when I was jolted out of it by a very clear sound: knuckles rapping on glass. Knock. Knock. Knock. Right next to my head. I turned and could see the dark woods silhouetted against the dim sky and a darker shape blocking out much of that view.

The shape was unmistakable. It looked exactly like your show’s logo a large head tapering into two shoulders, with no visible neck. It stood there for 15 to 30 seconds, then turned 90 degrees and glided smoothly past the first window, then the second, then around the corner of the addition and past the sliding door, and was gone.

The next day I inspected the area carefully. The ground was dry and firm, and there were no tracks or impressions of any kind. What really bothered me was the height the center of those windows, where the top of the shape had been, is eight feet off the ground. Even more unsettling was how it moved. There was no up-and-down motion, no bobbing like you’d expect from a human or even a primate. It just glided. At the time, my mind went straight to something paranormal.

Only after listening to your show hearing so many people describe the gliding movement and the same lion like roar did I finally connect all of these experiences.

So thank you. Your show helped me understand things that had stuck with me for years without context. I really appreciate the entertainment, the education, and your thoughtful approach to what I consider the apex of high strangeness.

I hope this finds you well, and thanks again for everything you do.”

Rocky Mountain Sasquatch writes “A Michigan woman shares a chilling firsthand Bigfoot encounter, describing the night she watched a 7–8 ft Sasquatch cross the road just two miles from her home. In this video, she breaks down exactly what she saw, why it wasn’t a bear, and how the experience changed her sense of safety forever.

From missing animals and protected forest land to dismissed reports and lingering fear.”

From The Shadows writes “UAPs and ghost encounters from Mt. Airy, North Carolina are on Brandon’s mind and we think you will enjoy his experiences. He shares some amazing pictures he took of a UFO he witnessed from his backyard and his ghost encounters happened while he was working at an assisted living facility. Hang on for this wild ride of paranormal activity that takes place right in the heart of Appalachia.”

A listener writes “I recently moved to a new property with my girlfriend to help care for my grandfather as he gets older, and I’ve started noticing some strange activity around the property. I’m mainly looking for insight into what this could be.

It began with an odd sixth sense feeling like I was being watched. I work a swing shift, so I get home late, and I’d often feel uneasy when pulling into the driveway. At first, I brushed it off as nerves from being in a new place. Then the noises started.

The first incident happened while I was at work. My girlfriend called me, shaken, saying that something was walking outside the house and breathing heavily. I told her it was probably a buck looking for a doe since it was mating season, which seemed reasonable at the time.

Not long after, one weekend night, we were both woken up by chattering sounds coming from two different directions. We just lay there frozen in bed, listening. Another incident involved tapping on the side of the house, which I was able to record.

What finally pushed me to write this is the frequent sight of distant red eye shine. I can never clearly make out what it is whether it’s a cougar or something else that worries me more. I’m just hoping for some insight into what might be going on. Thank you for taking the time to read this.”

A listener shared their experience: “My twin brother and I had an intense encounter with a group of three Sasquatches back in the summer of 1983.” After speaking with the eyewitness, he explained that in 1983, he and five other kids were playing in the woods, pretending to be in a war game.

He recalled that three large creatures emerged from behind the school, stepping out from the tree line. The creatures walked right past him, his twin brother, and their friends. At first, he mistook the creatures for his brother and friends, but upon a closer look, It wasn’t his brother.

He said they weren’t as big as he had initially imagined they were nothing like the giant figures typically described or even like Patty.”

Strange Familiars writes “Luke returns to Strange Familiars to share more experiences: a UFO encounter leads to a missing distance experience, while several outings searching for bigfoot led to handprints, footprints, tree structures, mystery lights, and the same kind of audio interference we talked about last episode.”

Paranormal Portal writes “Reports of “little people” have been shared across cultures for centuries, often dismissed as folklore or superstition. But modern witness encounters, unsettling historical cases, and even claims of physical remains complicate that assumption.

In this episode of Paranormal Portal, we explore firsthand accounts, regional traditions, and the strange behavioral patterns that surround these elusive beings — from fleeting sightings and unexplained activity to one of the most controversial discoveries ever reported. Are these encounters cultural echoes, something biological, or something that exists just at the edge of our understanding of reality? Tonight, we examine the evidence, the patterns, and the questions that refuse to settle.”
