Sasquatch Odyssey

In this episode, Brian welcomes Thomas Sewid of the Kwakwaka'wakw people of northern Vancouver Island for a wide-ranging conversation about Sasquatch traditions, firsthand encounters, Indigenous knowledge, and the debate over the more supernatural claims surrounding the subject. Thomas explains that Sasquatch, known by names including Ćunaq̣, Ts’uunaaka, Tl’onaq’a, Junakwa, and Chunag, holds a si...

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back with another unsettling account from the Alaska bush, this time involving two first cousins, Jacob and Charles, who were working at a small mining operation along the Yukon River in the early 1980s. At first, the trouble looked like vandalism. Equipment around the remote camp was being tampered with, water lines were disturbed, trees...

Part Four of Born Wild: Koda's Odyssey, Volume Two takes the alliance out of the meeting ground and into the dark, where good intentions stop counting for much and skill is the only thing that keeps you alive. It opens with Eli's first real night patrol, and the forest is not kind to him. Where Koda moves through the black between the trees like water around stone, Eli crashes through it like a wo...

Brian welcomes Craig and Paul of Penn-Ohio Cryptid Research to share the experiences that pulled them into the world of Bigfoot investigation and the strange encounters that have kept them searching. Paul’s fascination began after watching The Legend of Boggy Creek in 1972, while Craig’s interest was sparked by the famous Patterson-Gimlin film. What began as curiosity eventually turned into hands-...

Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back with two chilling sibling-reported encounters from remote Alaska, and both stories escalate far beyond a simple glimpse in the woods. The first account comes from Gabe and Rhonda, lifelong berry pickers in their 60s who were gathering berries in Alaska’s interior when Gabe dozed off while keeping watch for bears. He woke to something...

Part Three of Born Wild: Koda's Odyssey, Volume Two turns away from the battlefield and toward something far more dangerous. Trust. It starts with a note left under a stone. Eli's parents have learned the truth about Koda, and the boy who kept the secret for three years wants to arrange a meeting. Mira begs Koda to walk away, to move deeper into the forest the way the clans always have when humans...

In this episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, Brian welcomes Carl from Maine, whose lifelong fascination with Bigfoot took a much darker turn after he moved from Hawaii to southwest Utah in 2017. Living near Dixie National Forest and becoming involved in local church leadership brought Carl into contact with people who had their own unsettling stories, including Bigfoot researcher Jack McCarty. Carl descr...

Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel returns with two unsettling encounter reports from the Alaskan wilderness. The first story follows Jeanette and Ross as they hike a well-traveled trail leading from the highway toward the North Kenai River and Skilak Lake area. What begins with strange whispering in the woods quickly escalates into loud, unintelligible gibberish coming from...

Part Two of Born Wild: Koda's Odyssey, Volume Two opens in the strange quiet that follows a fight nobody really won. Kabota and his envoy come home from the clearing alive, and to the younger sasquatch that alone feels like a victory. They faced the Dogmen, they drew blood, they sent the pack running. But Kabota has led long enough to know the difference between surviving a fight and winning a war...

Brian sits down with Doug from Washington State, a lifelong resident of Pend Oreille County in the far northeastern corner of the state, for a conversation that starts with one winter night on a county road and opens out into thirty years of reports from the same block of mountains. Doug and his wife were driving home from her job after dark, deep in the middle of winter, when something crossed in...

Volume Two of Born Wild: Koda's Odyssey begins here, and it opens on the other side of the fight. A Dog man called Vorn moves his starving pack south out of the picked-over northern hunting grounds and straight into territory the sasquatch clans have held for generations. The moment those two worlds catch each other's scent, the countdown starts. Three years have passed since the clans fled the Ol...

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch is back with a disturbing report of increased activity across the Kenai Peninsula before turning to a recent encounter involving Marty and her grandson, Doug, near Alaska’s remote McCarthy Road. The trouble began when electrical problems forced their RV off the dirt road near an old single-lane bridge dating back to 1910. While Marty remained inside the veh...

Brian welcomes Mark from Michigan to share a lifetime of unsettling encounters involving Sasquatch, Dogman, and other unexplained activity. Mark’s story begins around the age of ten, when his father reported seeing a tall, long-haired figure near the family farm and something began tapping on the windows at night. Years later, while deer hunting near a cornfield, Mark encountered an enormous gunme...

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back with three unsettling reports from remote Alaska. The first two occurred independently on the Fourth of July along the same long stretch of road on the Kenai Peninsula near Soldotna. Traveling from opposite directions, Leslie and Rusty each reported seeing a large figure step into the roadway. Rusty, who was towing a trailer, claimed...

Mike returns for the conclusion of his 1982 Oregon campground encounter, picking up with two sets of reflective eyes watching him from the darkness near a picnic table. At first, he assumes he is dealing with deer, wolves, or some other familiar animal and repeatedly tries to scare them away. But as his flashlight begins to fade and he moves closer, the shapes refuse to behave like anything he rec...

Mike’s 1982 Oregon Bigfoot Encounter: Part 1 In this episode, Brian welcomes Mike from New York for the first part of a terrifying encounter that has stayed with him for more than forty years. Mike begins by explaining how the Patterson-Gimlin film first sparked his interest in Bigfoot before taking us back to 1982, when he was traveling alone through Oregon on his way toward Crater Lake. After fo...

This is it, the finale of the Sasquatch Unleashed audiobook, and it opens with something that isn't in the book at all. I wrote Sasquatch Unleashed as a lifelong skeptic who had never once seen the creature with his own eyes. Then, in the summer of 2024, that changed. Over the span of two days I saw them three separate times in broad daylight, and on one of those occasions I stood no more than 10...

In this episode of The Bigfoot Inquiry, Brian and Dr. Hogan Sherrow sit down with anthropologist and DNA expert Dr. Todd Disotell for a blunt, science-driven conversation about the search for genetic evidence of Bigfoot. Dr. Disotell has examined hundreds of alleged Sasquatch samples over the years, yet says he has never encountered DNA that supports the existence of an unknown North American prim...

In this episode, Brian welcomes Steve from the UK to share the unsettling roadside encounter he experienced near Hibaldstow, North Lincolnshire, in July 1994. While driving home after a night of DJ work, Steve watched a heavily built, hair-covered creature—standing roughly six and a half feet tall—cross directly in front of his car before disappearing into the roadside brush. The creature moved wi...

Part Three of the Sasquatch Unleashed  is the one where I stop weighing other people's evidence and put my own convictions to the test. I take you deep into the British Columbia backcountry, seventeen miles down a logging road with no cell signal, on a week-long expedition with the controversial researcher Todd Standing. This is the same man I had called a hoaxer, out loud, on my own show, and I w...

Brian welcomes Mary Ann and Levi back to the show, and Mary Ann’s husband, Robert, joins us for his first ever appearance on any podcast. In this episode, Brian sits down with BFRO expedition leader Mary Ann, her husband Robert, and investigator Levi to talk about a spring expedition on private property in northern Missouri. Mary Ann shares more about her work leading BFRO expeditions across Misso...

Part Two of the Sasquatch Unleashed picks the historical trail right back up, and the encounters only get stranger. I take you to a cabin near Mount St. Helens in nineteen twenty-four, where five miners spent a night under a hail of stones from what they swore were apemen, the story that gave Ape Canyon its name. I walk through Albert Ostman's claim that a family of these creatures carried him off...

Fred from The Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back with a disturbing collection of Alaska “Hairy Man” encounters and a message for anyone carrying a story they have been afraid to tell. He urges people to love their families, check on their people, and stop suffering in silence, especially when fear of ridicule keeps them from talking about something they cannot explain. Fred makes i...

Every Fourth of July, the woods empty out before the first shell ever goes up. The deer vanish. The dogs hide. And somewhere back in the deep hollows, something older than the town itself moves its family over the ridge, same as it has for generations, because it knows our schedule better than we do. This year, the schedule changed. In this special holiday episode, I'm telling you a Fourth of July...
