Sasquatch Odyssey

Bigfoot, Red Eyes, and A Portal With Adam Davies

In this episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, Brian welcomes author, explorer, and cryptozoology researcher Adam Davies for a wide-ranging conversation about Bigfoot, strange creatures, and the deeper mysteries that may surround unexplained encounters in the wilderness. Adam shares how childhood loss, a serious leg injury, and a lifelong drive to explore the unknown pushed him toward cryptozoology and into some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth in search of creatures that science has yet to fully explain.Adam traces the beginning of his North American Bigfoot research to his work with Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum and discusses the investigations that followed across the United States, including powerful experiences in Washington State involving wood knocks, roars, unexplained laughter in the woods, and the controversial campfire photo that continues to spark debate. He also reflects on time spent in the field with researchers including Brian Sykes, Russell Acord, and Thomas Stewart, while offering a candid look at the strengths, weaknesses, and frustrations within modern Bigfoot research.The conversation takes a much stranger turn as Adam recounts a disturbing multi-night experience at Matthew Johnson’s habituation site, where he says he witnessed a beam of light, a red mist, and small black red-eyed entities that appeared to move through or emerge from something he could only interpret as interdimensional. Brian and Adam dig into the uneasy overlap between Bigfoot reports, portal claims, strange lights, red-eyed creatures, and the limits of what witnesses are willing to say publicly.Adam also challenges parts of the habituation community, especially claims that rely on extraordinary stories without hard evidence, while discussing cognitive priming, witness underreporting, and why many people stay silent after seeing something they cannot easily explain. He also shares updates on his work with Relic Films, including a dramatic Land Between the Lakes encounter, along with projects like The Vanished and The Awakened. The episode closes with a look at Adam’s books and his upcoming nonfiction release, Ghosts and Beasts, which explores the unsettling territory where cryptids, folklore, and paranormal experiences collide.This is a must-listen conversation for anyone interested in Bigfoot, cryptozoology, red-eyed entities, wilderness mysteries, portals, strange mist, and the cases that sit just beyond the edge of conventional explanation.Relic Films YouTube Channel Get Adam's Books Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch is back to share more stories from deep in the wilds of Alaska. In this episode, Fred returns with another firsthand look at life in one of the most remote and unforgiving places on earth, where the line between the known and the unknown can feel dangerously thin.From isolated stretches of wilderness to strange activity around remote cabins and camps, Fred brings listeners back into the vast Alaskan backcountry, where silence carries weight and every unexplained sound demands attention. His stories offer a rare glimpse into the experiences of those who live, work, and travel in places most people will never see, where encounters with something massive, intelligent, and elusive continue to raise unsettling questions.Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTubeEmail BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Bigfoot Conspiracy?

2w ago00:52:27Tap to summarize

A man named Dale wrote to me with no subject line and one question: had I ever taken a statement I wasn't allowed to write down. Sixteen years on the job in Atlanta meant that question landed somewhere familiar, so I wrote him back, and what followed was three phone calls and thirty years of a retired ranger's private records read to me out of the drugstore notebooks he'd been keeping since his first season. Dale spent most of his career in the Great Smoky Mountains, with early seasons out west and a few eastern parks along the way.He started out a skeptic, a hunting-family kid who filed the Bigfoot stuff in the same drawer as ghost lights and panther screams. He agrees with me about ninety percent of the way. No men in black, no federal directive, no coordinated national cover-up. But he wanted to push back on the last ten percent with three decades of receipts, because in his experience reports do get buried, not by conspiracy but by omission, by a supervisor saying write it as a bear, by a busy man deciding a thing is easier to ignore than explain. This episode walks through what he saw and what he was told to do about it. The two backpackers and the rock-throwing at the shelter that got logged as bear activity.The hunter who watched something walk a ridgeline on two legs and got angry when Dale wouldn't hand him an easy answer. The through-hiker, the scout troop, and the experienced hunter named Pres who watched one work a timber edge through a spotting scope for ten minutes in good light. The screams, the whoops, the wood knocks, the jabbering that broke a grown man because of the pauses. The casts Dale still keeps in his garage, the one he turned in early on that disappeared, the structures and tree breaks and stacked stones he couldn't argue down.The colleagues who only ever floated it sideways in a truck at the end of a shift, and the one who sat on his own sighting for forty years because a supervisor in the seventies told him he'd finish his career cleaning vault toilets.And the last one. A gray morning, a downed tree across a gated roadbed, and something standing fifty yards up the track that looked back at him over its shoulder and folded into the laurel without a sound. Dale had plaster in the truck.He'd cast a dozen prints for other people on far less. He looked at the two impressions it left, turned around, and drove down the mountain, and he never told anyone at the Park Service. The man who kept thirty years of records because he couldn't stand watching the truth get left out went and left out his own, and he knew exactly what he was doing while he did it.I still don't believe in the grand conspiracy. Institutions leak, people talk, somebody always wants the credit or the book deal. But Dale moved me on the small version, because the small version isn't a theory. It's just how organizations work, and I watched the same machinery punch the same hole in the same kind of paperwork wearing a different uniform.The motive never had to be sinister for the record to come out crooked. If you want to know how something stays hidden in plain sight that long, you don't need an agency. You need the most honest man in the woods to decide on his own that some truths cost more than they're worth. He'll keep the secret better than any conspiracy could, for free.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Touched By Bigfoot

2w ago00:44:34Tap to summarize

In this episode, Brian welcomes Kyle back to the show for a raw, boots-on-the-ground conversation about Kyle’s new venture, Backcountry Bigfoot, a YouTube channel built around the real-life experience of Sasquatch research in the wild. Rather than presenting a polished, overly produced version of the subject, Kyle explains that his goal is to bring viewers directly into the backcountry with him, capturing the everyday reality of expeditions, campfire conversations, tree breaks, footprints, strange sounds, unexpected moments, and the humor, exhaustion, awe, and uncertainty that come with searching for Sasquatch in some of the most active wilderness areas he has worked.Kyle shares how Backcountry Bigfoot came together, including Brian’s role in helping him land on the name and shape the idea into something that could become more than just a channel. He talks about wanting to fully immerse himself in filming, editing, guiding, and documenting his research, even though it is all new territory for him. The heart of the project is authenticity: walking through the woods, talking through evidence as it is found, sitting around the fire after a long day, and giving viewers the kind of raw access that many people will never be able to experience in person.The conversation moves into Kyle’s research area near Radium, where Brian previously spent time in the field and had experiences that left a lasting impression. They discuss the remote journey into the area, the powerful feeling of being truly away from civilization, and the kind of activity reported there, including rock throwing, wood knocks, strange vocalizations, “samurai chatter,” trailer movement, eerie night walks, and multiple alleged Sasquatch sightings. Kyle also recounts several personal and witnessed encounters, including his father seeing a Sasquatch near camp and a guest watching one cross a trail just as darkness settled in.A major part of the discussion focuses on the evidence found throughout the area, especially the overwhelming number of tree breaks and the unusual footprints preserved in the thick mossy substrate. Kyle explains how the moss reacts to normal human traffic compared with the deep impressions he believes were left by extremely heavy beings, some lasting for years because the moss is crushed, torn, and effectively killed in the shape of a foot. Brian reflects on how difficult it is to appreciate the scale and strangeness of the tree breaks without seeing them firsthand, especially when they appear high off the ground, methodically broken, and far beyond what an average person could reproduce.Brian and Kyle also revisit some of the most memorable locations from the expedition, including the area known as Pinner Playground, a strange section of forest filled with unusual stick formations, teepee-like structures, possible trackways, and an energy that both men describe as hard to explain. They also discuss the discovery of a massive structure involving enormous trees placed against an ancient tree deep in an area where machinery could not realistically access, raising more questions than answers about how it could have been made.Back Country Bigfoot YouTube ChannelEmail BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Bigfoot In The Bush

2w ago00:34:42Tap to summarize

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel is back with two more amazing encounters from the wilds of Alaska.In the first account, Fred shares a chilling story from the early 1960s along the Nushagak River near Bristol Bay.Siblings “Agnes” and “Dean” were out scouting berry patches and looking for signs of moose when they heard deep, guttural bellowing coming from the dense brush. What followed was a terrifying encounter with an enormous, humanlike figure moving through the vegetation, pulling brush aside as it advanced.As the siblings tried to retreat toward their skiff, Dean fired at what appeared to be an approaching hand. Moments later, they spotted an even larger figure near the riverbank, this one described as having long, groomed-looking hair, before they escaped by boat.The second encounter takes us east of Day Harbor, where “Bill,” “Brad,” and “Connie” came face-to-face with something massive hidden in the brush. At first, they saw what looked like a huge black-haired head with dark skin staring back at them. Then it stood up.The group fled downhill, only to later discover a large log that appeared to have been thrown down the slope. Bill fired and believed he struck the creature in the leg, but the encounter escalated when a spinning piece of wood was hurled in his direction. Loud whistles echoed through the area, forcing the group to escape by dinghy. Fred also shares his appreciation for the witnesses who came forward, noting that names and map locations have been adjusted to protect their identities. These two unsettling Alaska encounters are packed with fear, mystery, and the kind of remote wilderness detail that makes Sasquatch reports from the far north so compelling.Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube ChannelEmail BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Is Bigfoot Guilty?

3w ago01:02:48Tap to summarize

Can we convict Sasquatch in a court of law? Brian takes the single question that earned its own chapter in his first book, Sasquatch Unleashed: The Truth Behind the Legend, and puts the big fella on trial under the same rules that decide real cases.Drawing on sixteen years carrying a badge, including time with the Atlanta Police Department, and close to forty years chasing this animal in the field, Brian builds the Sasquatch case the way a working investigator builds any case, brick by brick, and then tears it apart on cross-examination so you hear the strongest version of both sides before you render a verdict.This is a working tour through the five kinds of evidence that show up in nearly every American courtroom, and how the Bigfoot question performs against each one. Real evidence, the physical proof, gets weighed against the footprint casts, the dermal ridges, the alleged hair and the chain-of-custody problems that would sink half of it before trial.Documentary evidence, demonstrative evidence, and the famous Patterson-Gimlin film all face the same scrutiny, with an honest look at the costume claims, the hoaxers who confessed, and why a piece of footage shot at Bluff Creek in nineteen sixty-seven still resists explanation more than half a century later. Testimonial evidence, the tens of thousands of eyewitness accounts from police officers, wildlife biologists, soldiers, hunters and truckers, gets prosecuted hard and then cross-examined just as hard, because eyewitness memory is the most fragile thing in the entire courtroom.And digital evidence, the trail-camera photos, thermal clips and cell-phone video, runs straight into the deepfake era, where better technology has somehow made the case harder to prove rather than easier.Along the way the episode walks through the real material that defines this subject, from the Bossburg Cripplefoot tracks and the work of Grover Krantz and Jeff Meldrum to the Oxford DNA study led by Bryan Sykes, the Melba Ketchum results, the new-species precedents of the mountain gorilla, the coelacanth and the saola, and the body-shaped hole at the center of the whole question.Brian lays out the difference between the preponderance standard and proof beyond a reasonable doubt, explains exactly why a circumstantial case can still convict, and then does the thing most people in this field never have the nerve to do. He hands you the verdict. He also puts his own card on the table, including the daylight sighting he had in Washington State in twenty twenty-four, and explains why, as an atheist and a rigor-first researcher with no patience for the woo, he still argues that his own eyewitness account has no business moving the jury.If you care about Bigfoot evidence, Sasquatch research, cryptid investigation done with actual standards, and the honest question of what it would really take to confirm an unknown North American primate, this one is built for you. You are the jury.

Bigfoot At Monkey Creek

3w ago01:04:01Tap to summarize

In this episode, Brian welcomes Doug from Oregon for an intense and deeply detailed account of a roadside Sasquatch encounter that took place in February 2006 along Highway 199 between Grants Pass, Oregon, and Crescent City, California.Doug explains how a late-night drive home through the dark, winding canyon near the Collier Tunnel and The Narrows turned into one of the most unforgettable moments of his life when his headlights and orange truck lights revealed a massive upright figure walking along the road.Doug describes the creature as unlike the classic bulky depictions many people imagine. Instead, he saw something towering, lean, powerful, and athletic, with the build of an enormous basketball player.He estimates it stood somewhere around ten feet tall or more, with long arms, massive shoulders, a narrow waist, pronounced musculature, pale gray skin, dark charcoal-gray hair, and orange-red eyes that appeared to catch the light as Doug passed in his 1995 Chevy dually. The creature did not run, panic, or react aggressively. It simply kept walking, calm and natural, as Doug drove by close enough to see its face, body structure, stride, hands, feet, and skin in startling detail.The conversation moves beyond the sighting itself into the emotional aftermath of seeing something so rare and impossible to easily explain. Doug talks about the shock, excitement, fear, and frustration that followed, especially after sharing the story with people who dismissed him or made him feel ridiculed. Over time, encouragement from his wife and conversations with Native friends, outdoorsmen, hunters, and other witnesses helped him become more open about what he saw.He also shares related local accounts from the same region, including sightings near Siskiyou Forks Road, Bluff Creek, Bald Hills Road, the Klamath River, Monkey Creek, and other deeply remote parts of Northern California and Southern Oregon.Brian and Doug also dig into one of the biggest questions surrounding roadside Sasquatch encounters: why would such an elusive creature be seen walking near or on a road? Brian offers the possibility that, like other animals, Sasquatch may sometimes use roads as the path of least resistance while moving from one area to another.Doug adds his own thoughts about the rugged terrain, river corridors, steep granite slopes, and hidden access points in the area where his encounter occurred. The discussion touches on Native traditions, flesh-and-blood theories, spiritual questions, government secrecy, missing people, wilderness fear, and the strange mix of curiosity and danger that seems to follow this phenomenon.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Bigfoot Throws A Caribou Head!

3w ago00:44:02Tap to summarize

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back, and this time he brings two encounters rooted deep in the Copper River Valley and the gold country of Alaska's interior. The first comes from a man we'll call Travis, an Ahtna man with family ties down the Copper River Valley who saved for years to carve out a small homestead on a five-acre piece of native allotment land.Three years ago, on the third morning of an early trip with his wife, the couple's coffee was interrupted by a grunt and then a growl that seemed to come from every direction. What Travis first took for a bear turned out to be something far stranger, peering over ten-foot alders from twenty-five yards out. His wife saw it clearly first, describing a caveman-like figure with dark grayish-black skin, black eyes, a broad flat nose with downward-facing nostrils, and a strange blondish-red coat of hair.What followed was a two-day siege, with multiple creatures circling the cabin, jiggling the door handle, throwing rocks onto the roof, and fixating on Travis's wife, who reported hearing one of them telling her to come over in her own head. Rifle shots, a near-decision to burn the tree line, a sleepless night, and a tense armed extraction with friends the next morning all play out before they finally reach their ATVs and escape. Travis has returned since, learning from the previous owners that activity reliably picked up twice a year, every spring and fall.The second story reaches back to the spring of 1946 and comes from an Ahtna elder we'll call Tyler, passed down across a lifetime from his father, Tyler Senior. Set in the gold country near what would later become the Taylor Highway at Mosquito Creek, in an area then known as Forty Mile, the account follows Tyler Senior and two cousins working a small claim. After days with no wildlife stirring, the harassment began with strange whoops, whistles, and pigeon-like cooing from the tree line, then escalated to rocks thrown with painful accuracy, a wrung-off caribou head and a stripped hindquarter lobbed into camp, and a black silhouette swaying at the edge of the firelight. Heavily armed with old-school large-bore rifles, the men fired volley after volley at a creature that ran through their fire, scattered the embers, and seemed to vanish each time they shot. By the time multiple siren-like screams answered one another up and down the valley before dawn, the men packed up and abandoned the operation for good.The lesson Tyler Senior carried and passed down was simple and consistent: you never engage the bushman, you leave, because if you don't, it doesn't stop.Visit Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube ChannelEmail BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

No Bigfoot Easy Button

4w ago00:55:38Tap to summarize

In this latest installment of The Bigfoot Inquiry, Brian and Dr. Hogan Sherrow dive into one of the most important conversations in modern Sasquatch research: Occam’s Razor, parsimony, and the need for critical thinking when evaluating Bigfoot evidence.Using Brian’s recent newsletter topic as the foundation, the discussion explores how the scientific method can help researchers, enthusiasts, and witnesses examine claims without immediately jumping to the most extraordinary conclusion. Brian reflects on campout experiences where people interpreted blurry shapes, broken sticks, unusual trees, possible footprints, and so-called structures as evidence of Sasquatch activity. He explains his diplomatic response of “that’s weird” while also emphasizing the importance of considering simpler explanations first, including pareidolia, human activity, environmental conditions, animal behavior, and confirmation bias.Brian and Dr. Hogan also address the growing divide within the Bigfoot community between open-minded inquiry and uncritical belief. They discuss how explanations involving portals, mind speak, and other “woo” concepts can sometimes add unnecessary layers of mystery instead of bringing researchers closer to answers. While both remain open to possibilities, they stress that extraordinary claims require careful evaluation and that the strongest path forward is one rooted in evidence, humility, and intellectual honesty.The conversation also touches on how artificial intelligence has made photographs and videos less reliable than ever, increasing the need for biological evidence, field discipline, and objective analysis. From debates surrounding the Patterson-Gimlin film to modern programs like Capturing Bigfoot, Brian and Dr. Hogan examine how ego, gullibility, infighting, and overinterpretation can weaken the search for truth.At its core, this episode is a reminder that critical thinking is not the enemy of belief. It is what gives the search for Sasquatch credibility.Brian and Dr. Hogan encourage listeners to stay curious, get outside, investigate responsibly, question assumptions, and evaluate every claim with both an open mind and a grounded perspective.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Bigfoot Eye Shine

4w ago00:53:06Tap to summarize

Brian welcomes back North Carolina BFRO researcher Rick for a wide-ranging conversation filled with field reports, strange activity, and thoughtful discussion about the ever-evolving world of Bigfoot research. Rick begins by revisiting his own 2010 road-crossing encounter before taking listeners into recent BFRO expeditions in southeastern Tennessee and South Carolina’s Sumter National Forest, where investigators experienced a series of intense and unexplained nighttime events.During these outings, Rick describes loud impacts against a metal building, rocks being thrown near the group, unusual eye shine or glowing eyes appearing 7 to 9 feet off the ground, and colors that seemed to shift between red, yellow-green, and white. He also discusses reports of “zapping” sensations, aggressive bull rushes when participants moved too close, and a large tree or log being thrown through the woods with enough force to convince the group it was time to leave the area.The conversation also explores the stranger edges of field research, including occasional paranormal claims connected to investigation sites, such as reports of a “white lady” entity and voice-box messages that appeared to describe what participants were wearing.Brian and Rick discuss how to balance open-minded investigation with healthy skepticism, the importance of Occam’s razor, and the challenge of separating compelling field experiences from overactive interpretation.Rick also shares his thoughts on managing enthusiastic participants, keeping expedition groups small, using trained and skeptical leaders, and conducting honest debriefs after high-strangeness events.The episode closes with a broader conversation about technology, social media, and how the modern “Bigfoot narrative” is being shaped, challenged, and sometimes distorted by online culture.Rick also talks about his field guide on stick structures, his I Know Squatch merchandise, upcoming appearances including Squatchapalooza on June 6 at Mills River Brewing, other festival events, and his music under the name Just Rick.Visit I Know Squatch Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?
