Former Texas law-enforcement officer Matt Parrish uprooted his family and moved to Washington’s Olympic Peninsula—never imagining he would spend the next four and a half years living alongside something he once dismissed as legend.
He recalls the night everything changed: eerie whistles drifting in through the window, massive footprints pressed into the soil around the house, objects striking the exterior walls, and a Ring camera clip that erased any lingering doubt.
Over time, Matt describes an uneasy but evolving relationship with the beings the local Quinault people call the Siatco—a progression from fear and confusion to an uncanny form of coexistence on an isolated property bordered by rivers, elk trails, and dense rainforest. His account includes gifting interactions, hair impressions, window encounters, and even a close, face-to-face moment with a pair of glowing red eyes at three in the morning.

I’m not sure how you can hear them speaking to each other using language
and at the same time think they are not smart.

A basket ball size boulder on a table seems to me like a threat.
Almost like a mugger who lifts his shirt and has a gun in his belt.

A Flash of Beauty is easily the best sasquatch movie that I’ve seen. Thanks to the guest and thank you Wes.

How could them staying away from cameras be related to smell, yet when the power was out, they’d come around? Smell was still there, yet they knew cameras weren’t operating. It’s more complicated than smell

hope you are feeling better Wes!

They’re actually is a what to do if you encounter a Sasquatch protocol it’s with the The United States army they give it to all of their men on base when they , Tactical two weeks survival course training they absolutely go into some short depth at the very last animal on several basis what to do if you’re confronted with a Big Foot do their two week survival course anyone goes online and they pull that up. It’s gotta be worded right but it’s there they added it to it about two years ago as far as I know, it’s only the army , but it’s on there so for the world with this naïve about the government wanting their own men when you’re out there in your willingness, two weeks survival course there is protocol on what to do if you’re confronted with one of our bipedal hominoid buddies I don’t know how much more evidence people need

Very interesting Wes. I wonder if the other people in the neighborhood had experiences too. Personally I think he was playing with fire but guess you’d have to be there. His father was from East Texas he must have been familiar with some of those horror stories. Maybe they are just different in different areas. Happy Thanksgiving from Maine. 🦃

He should test his theory about cameras giving off a scent and in case a camera in a glass box to eliminate the chemical scent from being detected!
James G
It was tested inadvertently, they lost power and they came back around, signaling it’s not the scent it’s functioning cameras

Why does that picture have the flash of beauty logo on it?

Arla, from a Flash of Beauty – full interviews, mentioned that anyone can carry a gun, it’s all in the intention of the person.
Matt, can carry a gun around them, I’m sure of it…they know he won’t shoot at them.
Wes can also carry a gun around them…they know he shoots for food and protection! They know to keep their distance and not to make any harsh movements around him…they just freak him out with a spider crawl…for him to bring awareness to the world…& it’s working!!

Hey Matt, I live 30 mins or so from there along a river
Can relate to some of this, not the gifting . You moved away?
Alejandro V
Wow that detail about how dogs can smell cameras was amazing!!! That’s a revelation
Charles R
They do like blueberry muffins. Very interesting take by Mel on leaving enough for your family Matt. Great that your visitors had an encounter and were brave enough to stay the night. Great interview Matt. Also shows how darn hard it is to film or take pictures of Bigfoots. I would like to have these kind of experiences with them, not possible where I live even though we are out in the country a bit. I would think that large boulder could just be a gift and hoping you would put out more food. That river stone could be a gift to you also. And Wes is right. Whatever happens is always on their terms. I do wonder what it is about a camera that keeps them away – very strange.
Have you thought about going back to the property to see if the new owners are having experiences? This is definitely one of the great habituations.

As a Canadian, I would like to wish all of my American friends a happy Thanksgiving the ties that bond our two countries together are far stronger and greater than a temporary hiccup in relations.
Canada loves it’s American family….

Great episode Wes. You asked the question I was thinking. No way would I bring them in when I have two little girls and a wife on the property. Protect your family always!
