Bigfoot Society

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of David, a Navy veteran and lifelong outdoorsman whose encounters span from the high elevations of Colorado to a secluded property in the foothills of the Catskills in upstate New York. During a late-summer backpacking trip near the Maroon Bells and Snowmass Lake, David describes coming face to face with towering glowing eyes in the darkness, followed by a night filled with deliberate wood knocks, strange vocalizations, and massive footprints pressed deep into mountain soil.

Years later, after purchasing a remote cabin surrounded by dense forest and protected land, the activity begins again. What starts as distant knocking and whoops gradually moves closer to the house, bringing unexplained odors, enormous tracks in deep snow with an impossible stride, violent pounding on a nearby structure, and a daylight sighting that leaves no room for doubt. As the months unfold, the experiences build in intensity, culminating in a moment that still echoes in David’s memory.

David shares his story with clarity and composure, offering detailed observations shaped by a lifetime spent outdoors. His account paints a compelling picture of activity across two very different regions of the country, raising questions about movement, territory, and long-term presence. Join us as we explore David’s gripping journey and the unsettling patterns that followed him from the Rockies to the mountains of New York.

In this episode, we sit down with Aleks Petakov of Small Town Monsters to explore years of boots-on-the-ground Bigfoot investigations stretching from the remote coastline of Alaska to the dense forests of Kentucky and beyond. Aleks shares what it is really like to spend extended time in isolated wilderness where help is miles away and unusual activity unfolds long after midnight.

On Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, Aleks recounts late-night wood knocks cutting through the rainforest, rocks striking shoreline waters in the early morning hours, and heavy stomping sounds moving near camp. He describes the discovery of a primate-like handprint on a remote cabin, large impressions pressed deep into moss, and a strange rock-scraping sound heard from across a creek that has never been fully explained.

The conversation moves to a cold November night in Kentucky, where a distinct wood knock was followed by a large thermal heat signature on a hillside that disappeared within minutes. Aleks reflects on the challenge of documenting fleeting moments like these, the weight of credible eyewitness testimony, and what long-term fieldwork teaches you about patience, risk, and uncertainty.

We also discuss his upcoming Journey to Ape Island project on Vancouver Island, an area layered with Indigenous history, generations of Sasquatch lore, and some of the most rugged terrain in North America.

Join us for a grounded, field-driven conversation that brings you into the reality of modern Bigfoot investigation and leaves you thinking long after the episode ends.

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Mike, whose encounters span from the rugged wildfire zones of Southern Oregon to the wooded creek lines of Southern Maine. Growing up near one of the most well-known Bigfoot locations in the Pacific Northwest, Mike never gave the subject much thought—until a grueling 2011 fire season placed him deep in remote wilderness where he discovered a series of massive barefoot tracks pressed into thick redwood duff, miles from the nearest structure.

Years later, after relocating across the country, activity began unfolding behind his own home in Maine. What started as subtle disturbances soon escalated into whistling from the treeline, objects striking the house with force, unexplained silence in the surrounding woods, and an encounter involving glowing eyes that left a lasting impact. Multiple witnesses were present during key events, adding weight to what was experienced.

Mike’s background as a hunter and wildland firefighter gives his account a grounded, practical perspective shaped by years spent in unforgiving terrain. From firelines in the Emerald Triangle to quiet New England backyards, this episode explores how encounters can follow patterns across geography, terrain, and time.

Join us as we navigate Mike’s compelling journey and examine the presence that revealed itself in some of the most unexpected places.

In this members-only episode, we bring you a preview of multiple firsthand encounters that stretch from the swamps of Florida to the forests of Oregon and the mountains of Idaho.

A routine fishing trip in a remote Florida wildlife management area turns into a ground-shaking charge through thick brush… followed by a chilling clap that receives a deliberate response from deep within the swamp. A late-night drive in that same area ends with a snapped branch striking a vehicle and heavy footsteps closing in fast.

We also hear about a towering figure discovered near a strange backwoods structure in Oregon, massive birds seen during wildfire season, eerie vocalizations near Hoodoo Mountain, and unexplained lights in the sky witnessed while living off-grid.

These are raw, unfiltered accounts shared directly by the witnesses. The full conversations, deeper details, and everything that didn’t make this preview are available exclusively to members.

Gary Allen from the Bigfoot Research Project returns to recount a harrowing series of events at Lolo Pass that culminated in a moment where his girlfriend and her horse came dangerously close to losing their lives during an encounter deep in the Mount Hood wilderness. What began as a familiar ride in a place they knew well escalated into something far more serious as the terrain, the animals, and the forest itself seemed to turn against them.

Join us as Gary shares what happened on that mountainside, how it changed his understanding of these encounters, and why some places can never be approached the same way again once the stakes become this high.
