Sasquatch Odyssey

• SO EP:616 The Night Hunters

  Over the span of five decades, from the remote forests of Washington State to the wilderness of Maine, six individuals had experiences that would forever change how they viewed the natural world. A hunter in 1987, a park ranger in 1974, a wilderness guide in 1965, a hiker in 1992, a search and rescue volunteer in 2003, and a backpacker in 2019—all encountered something that shouldn't exist.These are their stories, told in their own words. Six different people, separated by thousands of miles and decades of time, yet describing remarkably similar encounters with something large, intelligent, and undeniably real lurking in America's most remote wilderness areas.From the Olympic Peninsula's ancient rainforests to the volcanic landscape of Mount St. Helens, from the North Woods of Maine to the glacial wilderness of Minnesota, these witnesses share one thing in common: they came face to face with something that defied explanation and left them forever changed.No campfire tales. No internet legends. Just honest accounts from people who know the wilderness intimately—and discovered they weren't alone out there.Join Mireya's Explorer Society Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

• SO EP:614 The North American Ape

  In this episode, Brian  welcomes back Ryan Edwards, a Texas-based cryptozoologist and author, to discuss his latest book, 'Beyond Bigfoot: The Unrecognized Primates of North America.' Ryan explains the research process behind his book, delving into lesser-known cryptids such as Devil Monkeys, North American Apes, and the Gugwe. He emphasizes a scientific approach to cryptozoology, while distinguishing between flesh-and-blood cryptids and 'para-cryptids'—creatures that defy biological explanation. The conversation also explores the influence of media on cryptid sightings and the psychological aspects of cryptozoology. Lastly, Ryan shares some of his field research experiences and outlines his future projects in the realm of cryptids.Get Ryan's Books00:00 Welcome Back, Ryan Edwards! 00:18 Diving into 'Beyond Bigfoot' 01:15 Exploring Unknown Primates 02:12 Research Methods and Collaborations 02:59 The Devil Monkeys and Their Origins 04:12 The Gugwe: Face Eaters of the Northeast 05:30 North American Apes: More Than Just Bigfoot 08:52 Skepticism and the Dogman Phenomenon 10:57 Para Cryptids: Beyond Flesh and Blood 14:52 Mothman and Mass Hysteria 17:56 Cultural Influences on Cryptid Sightings 21:53 Misidentifications and Cryptid Confusions 24:32 The Influence of Media on Cryptid Sightings 26:15 Field Research and Personal Experiences 29:29 The Legend of Boggy Creek and Its Impact 36:01 Stick Structures and Bigfoot Behavior 43:28 Books and Future ProjectsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

• SO EP:616 The Cowboys Who Filmed Bigfoot

  Everyone’s seen the film. That brief, haunting footage shot in the woods of Bluff Creek, California in 1967—claimed by many to be the most compelling evidence of Bigfoot ever captured on camera.But the real story? It didn’t unfold in front of the lens. It happened behind it.In this episode, we go deeper than the grainy frames and legendary figure striding into the forest. We explore the lives of Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin—the two men who filmed it—and the toll that single day would take on both of them. Patterson, a true believer, would spend the rest of his short life chasing the unknown, building plans for expeditions he would never complete. Gimlin, the reluctant witness, was hounded into silence for decades before finally re-emerging as the last living link to that day.We also examine the conflicting claims, the so-called costume designer who came forward years later without receipts or replicas, and the enduring mystery that refuses to fade.Behind every famous event, there are the people who lived it. This is their story.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
