Sasquatch Odyssey

Can we convict Sasquatch in a court of law?  Brian takes the single question that earned its own chapter in his first book, Sasquatch Unleashed: The Truth Behind the Legend, and puts the big fella on trial under the same rules that decide real cases. Drawing on sixteen years carrying a badge, including time with the Atlanta Police Department, and close to forty years chasing this animal in the fie...

In this episode, Brian welcomes Doug from Oregon for an intense and deeply detailed account of a roadside Sasquatch encounter that took place in February 2006 along Highway 199 between Grants Pass, Oregon, and Crescent City, California.

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back, and this time he brings two encounters rooted deep in the Copper River Valley and the gold country of Alaska's interior.

Three year...

In this latest installment of The Bigfoot Inquiry, Brian and Dr. Hogan Sherrow dive into one of the most important conversations in modern Sasquatch research: Occam’s Razor, parsimony, and the need for critical thinking when evaluating Bigfoot evidence.

This is part two of my conversation with author and researcher Norman Sollie, and this is where the rubber meets the road. In our first episode together on Friday, Norman walked us through more than four decades of his own personal encounters with Sasquatch across Washington, Illinois, Massachusetts, Colorado, and Alaska. If you missed it, go back and listen to that one first. You're going to want...

In this episode, Brian sits down with author and researcher Norman Solie for the first half of their conversation, focused entirely on the encounters and experiences that pulled Norman into the world of Sasquatch research. Norman traces his fascination back to childhood, when he first saw the Patterson-Gimlin film while growing up in Washington. That early impression stayed with him, but it was a...

In this reflective episode, Brian opens up a conversation he's been turning over for a while now. Occam's razor, the principle he quotes on this show more than any other, and why it keeps walking back into the room every time he tries to make sense of a Sasquatch report, a piece of evidence, or a guest's wilder claim. He walks through what the principle actually says versus the bumper sticker vers...

This is another installment of The Bigfoot Inquiry with Brian and Dr. Hogan Sherrow, and the guys open with the recent follow-up email from Bill Munns regarding the Patterson-Gimlin Film and the upcoming Capturing Bigfoot documentary before moving on to other topics.

This week on Sasquatch Odyssey, I sit down with Brett from Colorado, a lifelong outdoorsman, avid hunter, and longtime listener who finally decided to send his story in. What unfolds across this conversation is one of those grounded, no-frills encounters that I think hits harder than the big sexy sightings, because Brett isn't trying to sell you anything. He's a guy who grew up in the Colorado mou...

Brian came home from the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Festival with something sitting on his chest, and this letter is what came out of it. It is an honest, sometimes uncomfortable piece of thinking about what is happening in the Sasquatch field right now, and where it could end up if we do not pay attention. The piece opens with the people.  The young woman from Ohio who waited until the end of the day...

Five emails. Five people who carry a badge or a fire helmet for a living. Five encounters with something the textbooks say doesn't exist.

Tonight's episode comes from a longtime listener who finally sat down at his kitchen table at two in the morning and put forty-four years of silence into words. He asked us to call him Jacob. In the summer of 1982, when he was twelve years old, he and three of his closest friends hiked into a stretch of north Georgia national forest with packs on their backs and a single .22 rifle between them. It...

Jeremy spent two tours in Iraq and came home carrying things he couldn't name. In October 2006, he went alone into the deep backcountry of the Washington Cascades for a week-long solo elk hunt, hoping the wilderness would do what it had always done for him. It didn't. Something else was in that drainage, and it had been aware of him long before he was aware of it. This is one of the most carefully...

In this episode, Brian sits down with Ian from the UK to explore a lifetime shaped by the unexplained.
