In this episode, I interview Quentin Smith from Marshall, Illinois—an area not commonly associated with Bigfoot activity, yet his experience tells a different story. What began as a routine trip to a makeshift shooting range in the woods quickly turned into a terrifying encounter. Quentin and his friend were suddenly overwhelmed by powerful vocalizations echoing through the forest—deep, aggressive, and unlike anything they had ever heard before. Moments later, something massive began moving through the woods around them.

They could hear trees and limbs snapping, heavy footfalls hitting the ground with force, and low growls and grunts that seemed to circle their position. Quentin describes the movement as calculated, almost as if the creature was repositioning itself around them. The sheer weight and power behind each step made it feel like the ground itself was reacting. After the encounter, both men began researching what they experienced—and everything pointed toward a Sasquatch.

What makes this even more unsettling is that Quentin’s neighbor claims his wife has seen a Bigfoot in the same area—twice. Quentin has also had other unexplained experiences in his life, including sightings of orbs, paranormal encounters, and even episodes of missing time in the woods. Was this creature reacting to the gunfire? Defending territory? Or is there something deeper going on in this region of Illinois?
