  • Bigfoot Down: A Soldiers Story

    Bigfoot Down: A Soldiers Story
    Mar 29 2026
    In this episode, Brian shares an email from a military veteran who served multiple combat tours in Afghanistan and wants the world to hear a story that's been buried for three decades. Matt, as he asks to be called, writes in about a confession made to him by a fellow soldier he calls Joe during a night of drinking while the two were stateside between deployments. Joe revealed that in the mid nineteen nineties, long before the war on terror, he was part of a small specialized team dispatched into an unnamed national park after two hikers went missing.

    The male hiker's body was found twenty five feet up in a tree with his neck broken. The female hiker was never found. What search teams did find were massive humanoid footprints ranging from sixteen inches to nearly twenty three inches long pressed deep into the soil along a remote creek drainage. Joe's team was briefed by an unnamed civilian and given a single objective: locate and eliminate the creatures responsible.

    What followed was a harrowing two day hunt through old growth forest that culminated in the killing of four creatures, including a female, a juvenile estimated at around five feet tall, and a massive adult male standing over eight feet tall that charged the team and injured two soldiers before being brought down. Within hours of the kills, an unmarked black helicopter arrived carrying a civilian recovery team that bagged the bodies and flew them out to an unknown location. The soldiers were debriefed, told the mission never happened, and ordered to never speak of it again. Matt believes every word Joe told him that night, and he wants you to hear it.

  • Bigfoot In The Land Between The Lakes

    Bigfoot In The Land Between The Lakes
    Mar 27 2026
    In this episode, Brian welcomes Melissa from Georgia to the show for a conversation that blends travel memories, Bigfoot research, and some of the strangest encounters she has ever experienced. They kick things off by reflecting on their recent trip to England for the red carpet premiere of My Bigfoot Life, sharing thoughts on the beauty of the UK countryside, the enchanting forests of Somerset, and how surprisingly similar the landscape felt to both Appalachia and the Pacific Northwest.

    Melissa then dives into her lifelong fascination with Bigfoot, tracing it back to childhood memories with her father, old television specials, and early expeditions with the BFRO. What began as a fun curiosity eventually became something much deeper after a powerful nighttime encounter in West Virginia convinced her that something real was out there. From that point on, her journey expanded into investigations, expeditions across the country, media projects, and her well-known presence in the Bigfoot community.

    The heart of the episode centers on Melissa’s most compelling personal experiences, including a little-known encounter in North Georgia involving a mysterious moving light she now believes may have been an orb, and a series of intense, unsettling events during filming at Land Between the Lakes.

    She shares stories of strange sounds, overwhelming physical sensations, possible telepathic impressions, shadowy entities, missing camera footage, and a terrifying moment involving what she and others believe may have been a rake-like creature. Throughout the conversation, Brian and Melissa explore the growing overlap between Bigfoot research and high strangeness, asking whether the phenomenon may be far more complex than either of them once believed.

    They close with a thoughtful discussion about discovery, whether Sasquatch truly needs human recognition, and what revealing the species to the world might actually mean. Melissa also shares where listeners can follow her work with Relic Films and on social media.

  • PG Film Hoax? Bill Munns on Capturing Bigfoot

    PG Film Hoax? Bill Munns on Capturing Bigfoot
    Mar 25 2026
    In this episode, Brian sits down with makeup and special-effects artist, filmmaker, and longtime Patterson–Gimlin film researcher Bill Munns for a deep discussion about the enduring controversy surrounding the PGF. Drawing on decades of study and an archive of numerous scanned film copies, Munns explains how he works to separate authentic image details from artifacts introduced through duplication and degradation over time.

    Munns shares that one of the key details that first compelled him to take the film seriously was the smooth continuity visible along the figure’s back and neck, something he argues would have been extraordinarily difficult, if not impossible, to achieve with 1967-era suit technology. That observation became the starting point for his long-running technical analysis of the footage.The conversation also explores the documentary Capturing Bigfoot and the heavily debated approximately 40 second clip that appears to recreate action associated with the Patterson–Gimlin film. After personally examining the physical film, Munns says he identified it as a Kodachrome II camera original bearing a 1966 manufacture date code and believes it was likely shot on a Kodak K-100.

    At the same time, he emphasizes that a date code alone does not establish when the footage was actually filmed.Based on his analysis, Munns concludes that the clip is best understood as an after-the-fact replica rather than a pre-PGF rehearsal. He points to specific visual details, including what he describes as unnaturally white feet, as evidence supporting that conclusion.

    Rather than asking audiences to accept one interpretation outright, he encourages careful, critical comparison of both possibilities and argues that the most important question is not chain of custody, but how the footage itself compares to the original PGF.Munns also discusses his belief that separate “ape suit” footage may have existed, which could help explain long-circulating stories about a burned suit without necessarily proving that the Patterson–Gimlin film itself was a hoax. He closes by revealing that he is currently writing a follow-up book that will further address the controversy and expand on his findings.

  • Patterson Gimlin Film A Hoax?

    Patterson Gimlin Film A Hoax?
    Mar 23 2026
    It's been a while since I've written a newsletter entry, but something happened on March 12, 2026 that demanded a response. A new documentary called Capturing Bigfoot, directed by Marq Evans, premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, and the shockwaves have been reverberating through the Bigfoot community ever since.

    The film presents newly discovered sixteen-millimeter Kodachrome footage allegedly shot in 1966, a full year before the famous Patterson-Gimlin Film was recorded at Bluff Creek, California. According to the documentary, Clint Patterson, the youngest son of Roger Patterson, has gone on camera to reveal what he says is the truth about the most famous piece of Bigfoot footage ever captured.

    The claims are significant, the evidence appears to be serious, and the community is divided in ways it hasn't been in decades.In this special episode, I read the latest edition of my free newsletter in its entirety, walking listeners through everything that's been reported about the documentary, the newly discovered footage, and the firestorm of reaction that has followed.

    I share details from my own direct conversations with key figures in the Bigfoot research community, including Emmy-winning filmmaker and MonsterQuest creator Doug Hajicek, who offers a compelling alternative interpretation of the footage, and Bill Munns, widely regarded as the leading authority on the Patterson-Gimlin Film, who has physically examined the so-called smoking gun clip and reached a very different conclusion than the one the documentary is selling. I also discuss Eric Palacios's reaction after attending a screening of the film, my outreach to director Marq Evans for a potential interview and advance screening, and my ongoing efforts to secure a statement from Bob Gimlin himself. Most importantly, I make the case I've been making for years — one that matters now more than ever.

    The Patterson-Gimlin Film can be fake and Sasquatch can still be real. Drawing on nearly forty years of personal research, sixteen years of law enforcement experience, my own encounters including a sighting from approximately ten feet away in Washington State in 2024 while filming the My Bigfoot Life documentary, and hundreds of conversations with credible eyewitnesses from across the continent, I argue that the Sasquatch phenomenon has never depended on a single piece of film and never should have.

    I encourage listeners to withhold judgment until they've examined the evidence for themselves and to resist the temptation to let someone else — filmmaker, skeptic, or true believer — tell them what to think.If you're not already subscribed to the Paranormal World Productions newsletter, now is the time.

  • Bigfoot At Trappers Creek

    Bigfoot At Trappers Creek
    Mar 22 2026
    Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back, and this episode is packed with eerie wilderness encounters and hard-earned perspective. Be sure to check the show notes for a link to Fred’s channel and head over to subscribe for more of his incredible content.Fred opens with a heartfelt reminder about the importance of valuing the people we love, then dives into two chilling stories from the Alaskan backcountry.

    The first goes back about twenty years, when longtime partners Brian, a licensed pilot, and Casey, who owned a Piper Cub, flew into the Chugach Range to check their winter trap lines. What started as a routine trip quickly turned unsettling when they spotted a fast-moving, humanlike figure in the wilderness. As they continued, they found traps sprung, missing, or disturbed in ways that made no sense. The unease only deepened when they came across foul-smelling hair and began hearing repeated screams and the sound of something large moving through the area. Both men were overcome by the terrifying sense that they were being watched—and worse, intensely hated. After firing shots and making a desperate retreat toward the plane, Brian became physically sick as an even larger creature seemed to move in on them.

    They managed to escape by air, but not before realizing later that the creature had taken Brian’s snowshoe. The experience left such a deep mark that it strained their friendship for years, until they recently reconnected and finally spoke about what happened.

    Fred’s second story follows Chad, a cyclist traveling north of Trapper Creek, whose night in the wild took a disturbing turn. He discovered that his hammock strap had been ripped loose and that some of his gear had been moved into a tree, as though something had been deliberately toying with him.

    Things escalated when he encountered a dark-faced figure that let out a scream so powerful and unnatural it sent him fleeing. In a chilling twist, another cyclist miles away also heard the scream and decided to get out of the area as well.

  • White Baby Bigfoot?

    White Baby Bigfoot?
    Mar 20 2026
    Brian welcomes Joey from Maryland, whose connection to the episode begins with a heartfelt voicemail about Bigfoot Country. Joey shares how deeply he related to the book’s themes of childhood, solitude, and finding refuge in the woods, explaining that his own upbringing followed a similar path.

    That conversation opens the door to one of Joey’s earliest and most unforgettable encounters. As a child in the mid-to-late 1980s, he was near a local creek when he spotted something extraordinary: a tiny white creature, roughly two feet tall, descending a tree. He describes it as chimp-like, juvenile in appearance, and unlike anything he had ever seen before. The moment became even more unsettling when the creature locked eyes with him, then vanished as it moved around the trunk.

    Years later, after developing a deeper interest in Bigfoot, Joey began experiencing other strange events in the same general area. After playing the Sierra Sounds near the creek, his dogs later refused to leave the porch while he heard eerie, chimp-like vocal responses coming from the darkness. About a week later, the activity escalated when loud, forceful tree knocks erupted near his home, sounding like a bat striking wood. Even his highly trained protection dogs were visibly shaken. Each time Joey tried to record the sounds, they stopped, only to begin again farther away.

    Joey also reflects on other unsettling experiences over the years, including being seemingly followed by dueling owls near the Potomac and, more recently in 2025, spotting an unusually large canine crossing the road. Throughout the conversation, Brian explores the rarity of juvenile, chimp-like Sasquatch descriptions and offers thoughtful caution about using the Sierra Sounds in the field.

    He shares experiences of his own involving multiple unexplained phenomena and suggests that these moments may heighten awareness rather than “mark” a person in any permanent way.

    He also points to dogs’ behavior as one of the most telling indicators that something unusual may be happening nearby.

    The episode closes with updates on several ongoing projects, including a limited Sierra Sounds vinyl release with Ron Morehead, along with work on The Sheriff of Bigfoot Country, Koda’s Odyssey, and The Bigfoot Journals.

  • The Sheriff Of Bigfoot Country: Part Nine

    The Sheriff Of Bigfoot Country: Part Nine
    Mar 18 2026
    Part Nine brings Bigfoot Country to its climax, and it does so by circling back to where every great investigation begins — with the people who lived it.After years of building this platform, the floodgates finally opened. Witnesses who had been listening from the shadows for months, sometimes years, started stepping forward. People like Patricia Ann Holloway, a seventy-one-year-old retired librarian from Pennsylvania who had carried a secret since 1973 — the summer she was nineteen years old and working at a Baptist church camp in the Allegheny National Forest.

    What she saw standing at the tree line that night, seven feet tall with eyes reflecting her flashlight beam, changed her forever. She kept quiet for nearly fifty years. When the only other witness — a twelve-year-old camper named Susan — passed away from cancer, Patricia decided she wasn't going to take that secret to her grave too.Her story opened the door for dozens more. A ninety-year-old former logger from Vermont who remembered the creatures the old timers simply called the Wild Men. A woman from Mississippi passing down her grandmother's encounter from the nineteen twenties. A retired park ranger from California who had spent forty years documenting things he could never put in an official report.

    But the witnesses were only half the story. Researchers started coming forward too — scientists and academics who had sacrificed careers and reputations to study something the mainstream refused to acknowledge. A primatologist who recognized authentic dermal ridges on a footprint cast. A geneticist with hair samples that matched no known species. An anthropologist who had collected indigenous oral histories from around the world and found an undeniable pattern running through all of them.Then came the most dangerous interview of all.

    A former military intelligence officer, speaking through an encrypted line, revealed the existence of government programs spanning six decades. Programs designed not just to suppress evidence, but to study these creatures — and exploit them. He couldn't say everything. He said enough.The tension ratcheted up from there. Physical confrontations on mountain roads.

    Men in dark suits offering deals and making threats. And a manila folder full of classified documents that blew the lid off everything — project names like Titan Watch, Forest Shadow, and Mind Bridge, detailing decades of monitoring, containment, and experimentation on captured creatures.Through all of it, Brian wrestled with the personal weight of the mission. Late night conversations with his mother, who carried her own encounters with the unexplainable. Quiet moments on the porch with Daniel.

    A faith that had evolved far beyond the Baptist church of his childhood into something broader and harder to name — a belief that the universe held mysteries worth chasing, no matter the cost.

    The final expedition into the Pisgah wilderness brought everything full circle. Days of waiting. Thermal signatures circling in the dark. Vocalizations echoing through old-growth timber. And on the last night, alone at the edge of camp under a full moon, a moment of silent recognition between two species that have shared this land far longer than anyone wants to admit.

    Part Nine is about what happens when the dam finally cracks. When the witnesses refuse to stay silent. When the researchers stop protecting their careers and start protecting the truth. And when one man, standing on a dark porch in the Appalachian Mountains, hears a chorus of howls rising from the forest and knows the world is about to change.

  • Bigfoot And Feral People

    Bigfoot And Feral People
    Mar 15 2026
    Jerry AKA Caser Rebel is back with a chilling look at the 1978–1979 encounters around Kaser, North Carolina, near the South Mountains and Carpenter’s Knob. Witnesses including Minnie Cook, Sally White, the Price family, and Gay Smith reported a large black, hairy, humanlike figure prowling properties, killing animals, leaving tracks, and unleashing terrifying howls, screams, and strange yodeling wails.

    Drawing from reports documented by Robert Williams, who helped popularize the name “Knobby,” Jerry explores the possibility that more than one threat was involved, including an oversized black panther and a third track type he believes may point to a Dogman.

    The episode also dives into the fear of feral people in Appalachia, with accounts of eerie communication, violent encounters, a destroyed 1978 campsite, and a 2021 cave investigation that revealed a barefoot human track and signs of repeated human activity.
