Tonight I will be welcoming Waylon and Reno from Alberta, Canada. I will also be speaking to Angel from GA. Reno writes “Hey Wes, been a listener of your show for a while now and I had a strange encounter on Thanksgiving (Canadian thanksgiving Oct 14th). Been hesitant to contact you about it but I thought you might want to hear it.
I’m located in Northern Alberta. I’ll start from the absolute start, my brother and a family friend went hunting around two years ago a few miles from my family friends house down an overgrown cut line that turns very swampy. My brother and him are avid hunters. It rained the night before and the ground was very soft as they went in on ATVs so my brother got off to see how bad one spot was to cross and noticed large footprints in the ground spacing around 8 feet apart in a straight line. They both never seen anything like that before so after leaving my brother came back to the spot and casted the track (I can send photos of the tracks and the print he casted)
Fast forward to this Thanksgiving. Our family friend now lives in a different location, with a butcher living at that house. The butcher got a blood infection around a month before Thanksgiving and was in the hospital, so nobody was staying at that house for around a month. Me and my brother went to that place at around 11pm on the night before thanksgiving to use his smokehouse to smoke a biscuit for thanksgiving the next day. I stayed in my truck that was parked towards the overhead doors listening to music while it smoked while my brother stayed in the shop. I’m not very easily creeped out at all but the entire time I kept looking over my shoulder into the woods. I just had an eerie feeling the entire time sitting waiting for the meat to finish smoking. We finished up went back to my place in town and cooked it.
Fast forward to Thanksgiving day. Me and my brother went back at around 2pm in the afternoon to use the shops butcher equipment to cut and package the meat. While my brother was inside I went to my truck to charge my vape. Across the gravel road lies a run down yard where a farmer has a run down trailer without siding with white paper exposed half blowing off and a couple of old beat up trashed vehicles. As I looked up after plugging in my vape I noticed through an opening in the trees there was a black figure that resembled a head moving out from behind the trees looking at me and moving back in, doing this continuously. I only noticed it because the white siding paper was directly behind it so it really stood out and it was the only thing moving because there was no wind that day.
I stared at it for a few minutes trying to figure out what I was looking at and my brother eventually came looking for me and I pointed it out to him. We came to the conclusion that it was probably a person on a deck moving stuff in and out of the trailer. He went back inside and I kept looking at it and waved. About a minute after my brother went inside and after I waved this figure really started swaying fully into the opening and back behind the trees. I heard on your podcast of them doing this sort of thing but I blew it off thinking yeah right this has to be a person. I’m always teasing my brother about Bigfoot and now I’m seeing this from a yard that’s a 10 minute drive from town? I eventually went inside helped my brother pack the meat and we left. There was no vehicle parked on the road or in the yard when we drove by and there was no deck on the side of the trailer where I saw the figure. That creeped me right out.
We went back the next day to check out the yard and see if we could see if there was any evidence of something being there. We didn’t find anything but I dropped my brother off exactly where the opening was and went back to the same spot in the yard where I stood the previous day to gauge how tall this was (I thought there was a deck where it was because it was so high up). There was an old junk truck near the opening and my brother stood inside of the door and put his hand all the way in the air and I could see the bottom of his fingers through the opening. After seeing that I got chills man. My brother is 6’3’’ so whatever we saw was extremely tall.
Would love to come on the show and talk about it if you’d like, don’t want to use my actual name though. I feel like here in Northern Alberta Bigfoot encounters aren’t too uncommon, I’ve heard accounts from family friends and my grandfather had a man that worked for him with a strange encounter building a dam with a family of the workers work from the other side of the river.”
Angel writes “I writing to let you know of some encounters I have had over the years. My first encounter took place in Gordon County , Sugar Valley Ga near Johns Mountain in the early fall of 2013 when this encounter took place it was myself, my ex husband, my mother, and inlaws, we were in what they call the upper field checking on the pumpkins they had planted after my in laws got done checking on everything we were all standing around talking when all of sudden a tree falls, keep in mind we hadn’t had any rain in weeks and the ground was super dry, and no wind was blowing, I made the comment it’s weird the tree just falls and jokingly i said maybe its a bigfoot and my mother in law laughs it off and states trees fall all the time, I remember my father in law as well having to put scarecrows up to get animals out of the crops, i remember several times him saying the watermelons and pumpkins being spilt open in halves it appeared something had purposely spilt them open and were eating the inside , this property boarder’s the WMA .
the second incident happened in a different area of the same property, a few weeks after the tree fall, my ex husband and I had just pulled in our drive way when his cousin came running out of the house with his shotgun saying something tall and dark was trying to get the chickens , he had fired his shot gun towards the chicken coop, and the upright figure ran off, i asked him was it a bear and he said no a bear doesn’t run upright on 2 feet, i went into the house and came out a few minutes later to get something out of the car when i noticed a huge footprint, i called my ex husband and his cousin over to look at it and his cousin said thats no average foot print. keep in mind it had been raining and the footprint was very distinct that was the only noticeable foot print as the rest of the area was grassy. we guessimated the footprint was about 14 inches in length, and about 8 inches in width after noticing the footprint we just brushed it off an went back into the house, nothing else happened after that.
the final incident happened in the winter of 2013 in a little community in gordon county ga called nickelsville on hwy 136 , me and my niece had just left my parents house and it was right at dusk my niece was driving and had turned onto hwy 136 off of hwy 225 heading back towards Resaca when a large upright hair covered creature crossed the road in front of us the creature crossed from left to right and took 2 steps to completely cross the road, my niece freaked out slammed on breaks and stopped in the middle of the road and asked what fuck was that , we were both shocked and terrified at what we had just seen, my niece was so upset that i had to drive home. we guessimated it to be around 7 feet tall. it scared my niece so bad that she didnt wanna go on that road for a long time, keep in mind this about 20 miles from fort mtn where there has been numerous sasquatch encounters.”

I’ve always thought when they sway back and forth..it’s building itself up for a confrontation. 🤷🏻♀️

Wow, Wes!! Thanks for the AI intro. People are up to all kinds of cons these days. I know of a couple of cons going on in the lives of some innocent folks right now. You can’t be too careful! Also, really love the Christmas music you’re playing on the episodes. Wishing you and your family a great Christmas! Thanks for all your hard work over the years!

Hey Wes I have a theory that Sasquatch may be deaf or hard of hearing. I believe it matches up with a lot of the behavior, sounds, knocks, they wouldn’t need good hearing those huge eyes. Also their ears are almost non-existent. The way the sound when they call people’s names, ECT..
Tara W
That’s a cool theory.
Scrolling down to be “that guy”, it’s etc. because it stands for “et cetera” which means “and the rest” in Latin, so the expression translates to ‘and the rest (of such things)” [Wikipedia].
Etymology is my jam. And, yes, I’m super fun at parties…why do you ask? haha. Have a great day!

The Tony voiceover was *chef’s kiss. haha all the merch, all the time. He’s so good at marketing and he’s sincere enough about everything that it’s not annoying.
I love how Tony expresses his appreciate for Wes. A great example of “there’s enough success out there for everyone”. Share the knowledge, share the love!
Wes
Haha….I tried to capture his spirit..
“My dog died last night. My wife was upset, my children were crying…friends don’t forget there is still time for that perfect Christmas gift, go to the confessionals and get yourself something nice….It was a long night friends, I’m pretty upset.”
Haha he is the greatest. Love that guy
G.O.A.T

I forgot the reason I was initially going to comment, so a friend of mine actually had a catfish situation that used AI. He used a stolen picture of a little known politician and friend requested her on FB. Then he said he was working in some war zone type of place in a secure military facility and couldn’t really talk much, and they had a few face time calls where he got “cut off”.
The AI was used for the actual face time calls. So creepy! Be safe out there, friends. From CeO to lonely divorced lady we are all at risk.
Tara W
Maybe AI is why the Tinder guy wanted the lady to “say potato”

Also can we get a Tony & Wes episode about AI? But not a Tony Member episode b/c I’m not a member.

Cool to hear fron Waylon and Reno from our way up North Canadians. Sasquatches if around are drawn to smoke houses. That aroma whaffs out for a great distance and entices the taste buds. Sarah Brown has a 30 minute video of native tirbes in Washington that has an incredible story of this tribes interaction with the Teo Teks (I may be way off on the spelling) that had been stealing their smoke house fish they needed for the winter, and much worth watching. Also that is a well casted foot print, very similar in size to Pattys.
Steve N
AI Assisted” Real Sasquatch stories” that will take your breath away , every episode more adrenaline provoking than the last!! starving in February 2025 the stories are real they just AI assisted and you won’t believe what people are coming forward saying :, You can find them on Apple or Google. A lot of people are now coming forward with the help with AI. Wait see you here. What’s really out there?
Ron S
Steve N says this isn’t the real Steve N. I’m definitely not buying into this advertisement now. Sounds like bs that ai will fabricate to make people believe things a certain way regarding Sasquatch. Real cute how “starting” was changed to “starving”, that’s dark.
Ron S
Just popped over to see if today’s wordle message would be another synchronicity that SC would open the door for again. At first glance of seeing a holiday and an Angel in this description it was obvious. Wordle spoiler alert!
NEEDS
SNOWY
SAINT
SAUNA
This refers to our “needs” of the “snowy saint” Nicholas. A need is a necessity and not just a want or desire. The “sauna” refers to the opposing of this, the winter wonderland and everything surrounding this holiday and what it means. Global warming, climate control?… IDK.
Here’s some info on St. Nicholas:
* “Known for: Saint Nicholas is known for his kindness and generosity, and is said to have performed miracles for the poor and unhappy. He is the patron saint of children, sailors, orphans, the poor, unmarried women, slaves, and students.
Legend: According to legend, on the eve of St. Nicholas Day, Saint Nicholas delivers small gifts to children in their shoes or stockings. Children are encouraged to share their gifts with others.”
Even if you choose not to believe me or any anything mentioned above it’s still your choice. But even if you think the word to my intuition of a word, to wordle message doesn’t hold weight, I’m still right even if I’m wrong. I still gave you something for Christmas, you took part in the celebration, even if all you thought I gave you was just candy and “nuts”. You’d be wise to give to others now. Merry Christmas!
Ron S
Btw “gifts” doesn’t have to mean packages with objects inside. It can mean sharing the best qualities of yourself, it can mean blessings. Sharing anything to others with good intentions are gifts, and they don’t have to cost anything.
Darin H
HI ET, CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME REESES PIECES PLEASE?? LOL
Steve N
hey!!! that wasn’t me !! OML
Ron S
Did you just get doppelgängered Steve N? It happens.
When I tried posting my message today as soon as I hit “post” the server disabled… imagine that. Had to rewrite the whole thing over.
Steve N, I’d suggest you take the tint off your profile window and make a unique avatar… A bot might steal your name, but they ain’t got the snowballs to steal your uniqueness.
Brent S
You can’t listen and post at the same time. It always kicks you out. Glitch.
Darin H
EEK BRZ BLIP UK BZZ …. WATCH OUT FOR ET AND THE ORBS
Dana J
Thank you so much for the AI “lesson”! I can only imagine that many people can and will be tricked including myself. You helped expose what to listen for. Seriously thank you!
Happy Holidays!!!!

Thanks Wes! And merry Christmas!! I appreciate the heads up on the AI schooling. No pun intended.
Wes
Yeah man.
Christina B
Wes, holy cow…Just finished listening to the opening – your fantastic informative look into the dark side of AI… I just want to say THANK YOU for always trying your best to inform and look out for those around you. No apology needed on it being lengthy in my humble opinion. I not only enjoyed and appreciated it, I thought you provided excellent insight into what is being done in a nefarious manner with AI, as well as clear ways to identify it. It’s scary and sad but it’s kind individuals like yourself with integrity that give me hope for humanity. God bless you and Merry Christmas from western NC.
Wes
Thanks Chirstina
Wes
If anyone becomes a victim of this AI scam send me the audio, It will take me 2 min or less to take it apart. Over 12 years of looking at wave files day in and day out..haha
The fake AI principle is batting practice. Bring me someone who knows what they are doing I promise you I will take it apart

Supply of racism continues to fail to meet demand. Hence the never ending stream of hoaxes. See Juicy Smollett ; )
Nancy C
Hey Wes Happy New Year! I’m a librarian and i have been messing around with AI (chatgpt) to create reports, charts and spreadsheets of information take from the audio interviews on SC Chronicles. I’d be happy to send you a sample of what I’ve been doing if you are interested. Thanks, Nancy in Arkansas
Steve J
Your coworkers are not your friends. They are there to get ahead. They’ll do it at your expense as fast as opportunity presents.

Season’s Greetings to you, Wes.
So much interesting material at your site.
Maybe fix typo at start of description where it says Albert.
Cheers
Laura K
Happy Holidays!
Rachelle S
Hey guys could you tell me the episode where a guy was working iside a drum and was being beat on? I believe it was in California
Great episode!!! To this day I cannot recall what I did with my cigarette!
Gary G
What’s the awesome outro music Wes? Merry Christmas Happy New Year
Nolebez
Holidays got me off track. Catching up on my Sasquatch Chronicles & what is Wes talking about Hun? Good Ol Baldie-more… Rosedale no less exactly where I am from. Wes I think we’re all going to be wearing voice modulators, face feature manipulators & specific secret identifiers. So that AI can’t be used to frame you. I even think keeping a secret second cell phone could be good. So that they can’t hack yours and manipulate your activity. Or maybe we all just need to delete all our socialist media accounts & leave the phones at home.
Janice K
I love Sasquatch Chronicles. ❤️
Brenda D
Great show! Great intro! Happy New Year, Wes!!!
