I welcome Ronnie to the show, and Ronnie writes, “I came from the city and moved in with my mother in law who lived out in the country. In this area of Washington State it is very remote. One night I heard a creature breathing outside of my window.
I assumed it was a bear until it walked past the window. It walked over to my mother in laws window which was next to mine. My mother in law snores like a chainsaw at night and the creature mimicked her snoring as I went to the window to get a look at this thing the floor creaked. The creature turned and looked at me and growled. It was huge, the largest thing I have ever seen. I fell backwards and stayed in the corner of the room until the sun came up.
Looking back now I know this thing was around the property, I would go out to feed the horses and the horses would be acting strange and I had a weird sense I was being watched. At night I would watch TV and always felt like something was watching me. I started closing the shades on the windows. After my encounter I know what it was and I moved out within 48 hours. I am telling you Wes this thing looked like a gorilla on steroids standing straight up”

Early! Cool!

Guess what I’ll be listening to while I’m painting…..Thanks Wes for making painting bearable…….
Andrew O
That’s exactly what I was doing when listening to this episode today!
Maynard w
Nothing like getting home from working the night shift and finding a new episode already posted. As always thanks Wes.
Christine J S
You sound so much better Wes…thanks for a great show.
YIKES Ronnie…too scary for words!
Waylon, so glad to hear your voice; lucky you hanging with Mr Bob; glad you took his advice and got outa’ Dodge when he saw 5 BF checking you out!
Did you say your neighbor was only 2 miles from your home? Sounds like you made a believer out of her; she needs to know so she can protect her kids! Holy crap…sounds like your in the middle of “squatch land”…be careful and stay safe!

Good show Wes. And good to hear you sounding more human again. For the 200th show, what about having a few different guests from older shows on to do a roundtable conversation? I think it would be interesting to hear how they are doing since their encounters, if they’ve gone back out in the woods since etc. and how each creature was similar or different between the different encounters. Just a thought. Thanks for the hard work, Wes.
Jannette A
Good one Wes,I would like to have Mr. Garret on for the 200 episode!
ben h
Hi Wes glad your over your fever mate, why don’t you use your 200th show to say all the insider stuff? Hell we are all waiting for it. Just a suggestion.
randolph w
Wow, couldn’t imagine feeling like a prisoner in your own home with that big guy roaming around outside.
Debbie C
Very good episode:)
Bruce D
Thanks Wes, Ronnie and Waylon..great show! Ronnie loved hearing your encounter..good advice to listen to your gut. Would love for 200th episode the “good ol boys and girls” Bob G, Coonbo, Bear, Brenda and Vic..just a few..just don’t want a “repeat” of the SC forums..love it, but can read that all the time. Just a suggestion…
Pat T
Good job Ronnie, loved the show, two good guests back to back, thanks Wes!
DonRay
Nice descriptions,,,, feel bad for him still goin through that………… good luck….Ciao
Mary W
Sounds like Wes needed to hear his story as much as he needed to tell it in a receptive venue . Ty 4 sharing
Robert F
I would also be outta there in 48 hrs. Sasquatchs are frightening enough, add the height, mass , strength, intelligence, mimicking, I don’t know what freaks me more. I know Wes is interested in the mimics alot. Awesome encounter….
Erwin A
Great shout out to that kid you bumped into listening to your show Wes. Now I’m going to listen to this episode.
Matt P
You want to talk to fans over someone who might know a thing or two? Have you read your forums or comment sections? This aint exactly MENSA Wes…
There were people screaming back in December how one of your guests was a Satanist, no joke, because they espoused Eastern Philosophies… I guess you’d rather chat with, as you put it, “the uncle that’s not invited to Thanksgiving cause they get drunk and make an ass of themselves”. You should really reconsider.
Linda G
I Got a kick out of your comments, especially since I do believe in eastern philosophy! Please remember how many people in the world believe in eastern philosophy! We are no minority. And to all those that believe we are possessed by Satan, I feel sorry for your ignorance.
Matt P
I wasn’t the one accusing the guest on that episode of being a Satanist for what he said, if I recall it was one woman and a man leading the charge, many followed, and I was in rebuttal. It was blatant xenophobia, and you should feel sorry for their ignorance. The “gentleman” even conceded that he doesn’t listen to this podcast to be taken out of his comfort zone… This is a BIGFOOT PODCAST… So that’s about the most ironic statement I’ve ever read in my life.
I was just listing one of many example of why this fan base isn’t one that should have a public forum for the 200th episode. You’ll either hear from someone like that or of the kind, or a sycophant telling Wes how amazing the show is with nothing else worth adding, not much to be gained from either one. I’d rather hear from someone who could contribute to the subject, like Duke, who’s not pretentious and has something to offer for the milestone worth listening to. But as usual I’m probably in the minority on that.
diana m
Terrific show, Wes! Great shares Ronnie & Jimmie John!… Thanks guys.
Rick B
It’s very believable. There are a few compelling details that make it so.
Laine N
Good show, man I wish I had the funds to go on a trip down there. Your sounding alot better hope you keep getting better. Thanks bud love your work!
Ray R
Great show Wes, Thank you
Craig B
Bring back WILL for the 200th episode
Matt P
That’s a good idea, he can mention being Rene Dahinden’s understudy for the 200th time, it’ll be a fun coincidence.
Gale R
Good show, so glad you are getting better.
Becky W
Holy crap. I LIVE THERE….RIGHT THERE….
Jane M
One of the best recent shows! All about the encounter!
scott p
Hey Wes. Definitely strange with those guys shootin shit up for as long as they did in such a secluded/private area. a bit excessive or what.May sound abit paranoid but considering what bob’s been thru perhaps somebody is wanting to sour the milk on bob and gang or just hoping for a research night gone very wrong as a result? now that this has happened and the gang of big guys have identified them it will prob really affect there future dealings with these guys in the areas for some time. even if they werent responsible. I think i would have just left when the shooting became ridiculous just to avoid mis-indentity. just sayin..
glad your feelin better!
Jane M
Waylon is awesome. Can’t wait to hear more about what they find at the woman’s home. Jeeze must be pretty bad when a lady paints windows white. So ugly. I don’t know many gals that would do that. I love this show!!!! Killer episode….. nice, believable, relevant to subject matter. Wonder who was shooting? Must have been on atv’s?! So sad that the SAS get terrorized. But then again, they seem to be able to take care of themselves. So far. If government really wanted them dead, I think it would have already happened…. Who knows. Thanks Wes!
Teresa V
Good show! I’d love to see the young boy’s face when he listens to this episode and realizes that he was actually talking to Wes in the grocery store. I hope Waylon can come back on and give us updates about what he found out after doing the investigation at his neighbor’s house.
Linda G
I would have been totally traumatized if I’d been through that!
Robin B
The light’s on???? Thank you Wes, Ronnie and Waylon!
Papa - Yeti
Great Show Wes, I do hope that you guys are going in down there with couple lit fused stick of ‘back up plans’ and ‘fused last resort sticks’. Fire and dynamite sound like the only equalizers against five angry Bull Squatches if it goes hostile.
-Dad always said if you can’t smoke them out, Burn m’ out!
I do hope Ronnie is recovering ok, it sounds like he has it bad, but needs to know he will recover.
mescha m
Turd in a punch bowl. . That’s funny
June P
Great guests! I loved how amped up the first guest was! He was definately reliving that encounter!
Yea, turd in a punch bowl was funny!!!!
David D
Ronnie’s encounter story was a good one. There’s probably a parable in there , somewhere. Something like, oh, maybe something about leaving your mother in law to fend herself against the Squatche’s. People used to write songs, and make joke about mother in laws; seriously! Any-hoot, it was a good encounter story. I’d like to talk to this guy. I guess, one of the things I would ask him is, at the time you were going out to feed the horses, was someone, someplace, praying for you? I know some folk’s think that we have certain instincts, and I would agree with some of that, but, when you get that still small voice-that ain’t necessarily your conscience. If you hear a voice in your head and heart telling you not to go somewhere, or to not do something, it just may be Someone else.
Eddie M
Yes Sir I agree David.
Eddie M
If Mr. Garrett said it was time to go…It was time to go. His instincts relative to these animals I would never question…I’d just be packing my Shiite and getting out of Dodge.
Jamie m
You should do question and answer show for 200 great show
Dave S
SASQUATCH ANONYMOUS. KEEP COMING!
David D
Now, I really can’t help myself; there really is humor to find in this Squatch stuff. Wes was talking about a seriously hacked-off female! Now, I’m guessing that the dude-squatche’s, more than likely had for the deep swampy areas when the girls get grumpy! (HA)! There’s a verse or proverb,,, something about dwelling in a very large house (something with a lot of rooms,) sometimes the guys just need to get the heck outa Dodge! Sorry, it’s just the way my mind doesn’t work.
James (Waylon) Johnson
Thanks for listening guys and gals, and thank you for you comments. We hope to see all of you down here someday : )
Crypto Zulu
Great show Wes. Thanks for providing a forum for people to express their feelings after an encounter.
James D
It was those dirtbags who showed up and messed up the destroyed campsite who were trying to get the squatch pissed off enough to attack you guys. Luckily they are smarter than they think they are-not so easily fooled-they knew it wasn’t you guys
Beth F
Open phone lines !!!
Kim L
Thank you Wes, those were truly scary stories!
How bout’ for #200, you take the night off, and let us put together a surprise show for you?
You know, we’ll look up all your old girlfriends, old school pals, relatives, cops, anyone who might relate a funny “Wes story”?
Actually, there are some really talented folks here, do take the night off, and have them do a serious show for you, and us.
Why couldn’t my mom and dad name me “Waylon”? Coolest name ever! Why kim? huh mom? huh dad?
James (Waylon) Johnson
Thank you : ) It’s actually tribal Whalen which means “son of the wolf” but my mother preferred the English spelling Waylon because she was a fan of the country singer and also because she didn’t want the Whale in her only sons name. Go figure.
Leah G
Good one. Ronnie’s outcome could have easily gone the other way had he not listened to a voice advising him to back-off/turn around. Interesting how our “modern” culture generally dispels and often chides what is termed ‘woman’s intuition’ as malarkey; if you can’t see it or point to a scientifically-proven stimulus that elicits the correct response, it’s silly or unfathomable. Doesn’t that sound familiar regarding the general public reaction to hearing about the existence of Sasquatch, Dogman, etc.,?
Gavin deBecker examines this topic in his book “The Gift of Fear,” a great read.
Charles R
100 percent correct WES. This was not the first time this Forest Giant had come around. I am certain it was a regular visitor and had taken a deep and keen interest in Ronnie’s Mother in law. It may even considered itself her protector, and I guarantee you it was no threat to her. When it opened its mouth and made that strange sound, that was infra sound designed to neutralize Ronnie and it worked very well. That is why Ronnie was so discombobulated and went down as he described.
Just to bad this freaked you out so bad Ronnie as staying there may have may have led to more encounters, who knows. I am not one who subscribes to the theory these creatures are out to get us, otherwise it would happen all the time and it would be very easy for them to do so. Especially around human property. Out in the woods which is their home they may be more unpredictable,

It’s absolutely increadible and frightening to think a creature like this, of this size, is out there, just beyond where we can see, and knowbody knows it.
Stan B
I seen 3 of my buddies blown to pieces i suffered from PTSD, i get a bit miffed how this phrase is so easily used & banded about everytime someone sees a sasquatch. They got scared, nervous, sweaty i agree with that. But I’m not having they suffered PTSD lets put it into perspective please.
I tried ending my life with this illness not heard one experiencer yet whose said he’s tried to take their life over it.. Its an insult to our soldiers how this phrase is just so thrown around so god damn easy, sorry but I’m pissed off about it. I Really can’t see how you forget you have a gun in your hand, i really can’t… Especially when it’s the only life saver you have!
Stan B
I have so much doubt about Mr Garrett, all these supposed encounters and yet not one jot of evidence come on please Bob you may fool many with your stories but I’m yet to be convinced. Bob the night you took Wes & Shannon i know for a fact 100% soldiers were on exercise in your area, i think Bob knew this and used it to his advantage! Anyone who disagrees with me on the soldiers on exercise duty, well I’m afraid you know nothing about that evening, I DO! it’s a fact it happened.
Seems very strange that it has never been mentioned by any of the group, Shannon knew the score i know her very well & she don’t lie. I would trust that girl with my life. Everyone seems to hang on to every whim & word Garrett speaks, it’s as though he’s lauded as some sort of god.
People need to take step back and have along hard think about Garrett and his actions & stories!!
Oh and for your information I’m not a troll far from it infact i have a very strong opinion and know one will ever change it.
Charles W
Did anybody else catch the question in his voice when he states “I was lucky, seeing this.”?
Mike R
Cool encounter. I don’t think Sasquatch is here to hurt anyone but they want you to get away from them, maybe from past experiences. I definitely think they’re here to learn from us. Or to see if we could coincide for that matter. They’re smarter and faster than us if they wanted us they would get us
