Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch is back to share more stories from deep in the wilds of Alaska. In this episode, Fred returns with another firsthand look at life in one of the most remote and unforgiving places on earth, where the line between the known and the unknown can feel dangerously thin.
From isolated stretches of wilderness to strange activity around remote cabins and camps, Fred brings listeners back into the vast Alaskan backcountry, where silence carries weight and every unexplained sound demands attention. His stories offer a rare glimpse into the experiences of those who live, work, and travel in places most people will never see, where encounters with something massive, intelligent, and elusive continue to raise unsettling questions.

A man named Dale wrote to me with no subject line and one question: had I ever taken a statement I wasn't allowed to write down. Sixteen years on the job in Atlanta meant that question landed somewhere familiar, so I wrote him back, and what followed was three phone calls and thirty years of a retired ranger's private records read to me out of the drugstore notebooks he'd been keeping since his first season. Dale spent most of his career in the Great Smoky Mountains, with early seasons out west and a few eastern parks along the way.
He started out a skeptic, a hunting-family kid who filed the Bigfoot stuff in the same drawer as ghost lights and panther screams. He agrees with me about ninety percent of the way. No men in black, no federal directive, no coordinated national cover-up. But he wanted to push back on the last ten percent with three decades of receipts, because in his experience reports do get buried, not by conspiracy but by omission, by a supervisor saying write it as a bear, by a busy man deciding a thing is easier to ignore than explain. This episode walks through what he saw and what he was told to do about it. The two backpackers and the rock-throwing at the shelter that got logged as bear activity.
The hunter who watched something walk a ridgeline on two legs and got angry when Dale wouldn't hand him an easy answer. The through-hiker, the scout troop, and the experienced hunter named Pres who watched one work a timber edge through a spotting scope for ten minutes in good light. The screams, the whoops, the wood knocks, the jabbering that broke a grown man because of the pauses. The casts Dale still keeps in his garage, the one he turned in early on that disappeared, the structures and tree breaks and stacked stones he couldn't argue down.
The colleagues who only ever floated it sideways in a truck at the end of a shift, and the one who sat on his own sighting for forty years because a supervisor in the seventies told him he'd finish his career cleaning vault toilets.And the last one. A gray morning, a downed tree across a gated roadbed, and something standing fifty yards up the track that looked back at him over its shoulder and folded into the laurel without a sound. Dale had plaster in the truck.
He'd cast a dozen prints for other people on far less. He looked at the two impressions it left, turned around, and drove down the mountain, and he never told anyone at the Park Service. The man who kept thirty years of records because he couldn't stand watching the truth get left out went and left out his own, and he knew exactly what he was doing while he did it.I still don't believe in the grand conspiracy. Institutions leak, people talk, somebody always wants the credit or the book deal. But Dale moved me on the small version, because the small version isn't a theory. It's just how organizations work, and I watched the same machinery punch the same hole in the same kind of paperwork wearing a different uniform.
The motive never had to be sinister for the record to come out crooked. If you want to know how something stays hidden in plain sight that long, you don't need an agency. You need the most honest man in the woods to decide on his own that some truths cost more than they're worth. He'll keep the secret better than any conspiracy could, for free.

In this episode, Brian welcomes Kyle back to the show for a raw, boots-on-the-ground conversation about Kyle’s new venture, Backcountry Bigfoot, a YouTube channel built around the real-life experience of Sasquatch research in the wild. Rather than presenting a polished, overly produced version of the subject, Kyle explains that his goal is to bring viewers directly into the backcountry with him, capturing the everyday reality of expeditions, campfire conversations, tree breaks, footprints, strange sounds, unexpected moments, and the humor, exhaustion, awe, and uncertainty that come with searching for Sasquatch in some of the most active wilderness areas he has worked.
Kyle shares how Backcountry Bigfoot came together, including Brian’s role in helping him land on the name and shape the idea into something that could become more than just a channel. He talks about wanting to fully immerse himself in filming, editing, guiding, and documenting his research, even though it is all new territory for him. The heart of the project is authenticity: walking through the woods, talking through evidence as it is found, sitting around the fire after a long day, and giving viewers the kind of raw access that many people will never be able to experience in person.
The conversation moves into Kyle’s research area near Radium, where Brian previously spent time in the field and had experiences that left a lasting impression. They discuss the remote journey into the area, the powerful feeling of being truly away from civilization, and the kind of activity reported there, including rock throwing, wood knocks, strange vocalizations, “samurai chatter,” trailer movement, eerie night walks, and multiple alleged Sasquatch sightings. Kyle also recounts several personal and witnessed encounters, including his father seeing a Sasquatch near camp and a guest watching one cross a trail just as darkness settled in.
A major part of the discussion focuses on the evidence found throughout the area, especially the overwhelming number of tree breaks and the unusual footprints preserved in the thick mossy substrate. Kyle explains how the moss reacts to normal human traffic compared with the deep impressions he believes were left by extremely heavy beings, some lasting for years because the moss is crushed, torn, and effectively killed in the shape of a foot.
Brian reflects on how difficult it is to appreciate the scale and strangeness of the tree breaks without seeing them firsthand, especially when they appear high off the ground, methodically broken, and far beyond what an average person could reproduce.
Brian and Kyle also revisit some of the most memorable locations from the expedition, including the area known as Pinner Playground, a strange section of forest filled with unusual stick formations, teepee-like structures, possible trackways, and an energy that both men describe as hard to explain. They also discuss the discovery of a massive structure involving enormous trees placed against an ancient tree deep in an area where machinery could not realistically access, raising more questions than answers about how it could have been made.

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel is back with two more amazing encounters from the wilds of Alaska.In the first account, Fred shares a chilling story from the early 1960s along the Nushagak River near Bristol Bay.
Siblings “Agnes” and “Dean” were out scouting berry patches and looking for signs of moose when they heard deep, guttural bellowing coming from the dense brush. What followed was a terrifying encounter with an enormous, humanlike figure moving through the vegetation, pulling brush aside as it advanced.
As the siblings tried to retreat toward their skiff, Dean fired at what appeared to be an approaching hand. Moments later, they spotted an even larger figure near the riverbank, this one described as having long, groomed-looking hair, before they escaped by boat.The second encounter takes us east of Day Harbor, where “Bill,” “Brad,” and “Connie” came face-to-face with something massive hidden in the brush. At first, they saw what looked like a huge black-haired head with dark skin staring back at them. Then it stood up.
The group fled downhill, only to later discover a large log that appeared to have been thrown down the slope. Bill fired and believed he struck the creature in the leg, but the encounter escalated when a spinning piece of wood was hurled in his direction. Loud whistles echoed through the area, forcing the group to escape by dinghy. Fred also shares his appreciation for the witnesses who came forward, noting that names and map locations have been adjusted to protect their identities.
These two unsettling Alaska encounters are packed with fear, mystery, and the kind of remote wilderness detail that makes Sasquatch reports from the far north so compelling.

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 field, Brian builds the Sasquatch case the way a working investigator builds any case, brick by brick, and then tears it apart on cross-examination so you hear the strongest version of both sides before you render a verdict.
This is a working tour through the five kinds of evidence that show up in nearly every American courtroom, and how the Bigfoot question performs against each one. Real evidence, the physical proof, gets weighed against the footprint casts, the dermal ridges, the alleged hair and the chain-of-custody problems that would sink half of it before trial.
Documentary evidence, demonstrative evidence, and the famous Patterson-Gimlin film all face the same scrutiny, with an honest look at the costume claims, the hoaxers who confessed, and why a piece of footage shot at Bluff Creek in nineteen sixty-seven still resists explanation more than half a century later. Testimonial evidence, the tens of thousands of eyewitness accounts from police officers, wildlife biologists, soldiers, hunters and truckers, gets prosecuted hard and then cross-examined just as hard, because eyewitness memory is the most fragile thing in the entire courtroom.
And digital evidence, the trail-camera photos, thermal clips and cell-phone video, runs straight into the deepfake era, where better technology has somehow made the case harder to prove rather than easier.Along the way the episode walks through the real material that defines this subject, from the Bossburg Cripplefoot tracks and the work of Grover Krantz and Jeff Meldrum to the Oxford DNA study led by Bryan Sykes, the Melba Ketchum results, the new-species precedents of the mountain gorilla, the coelacanth and the saola, and the body-shaped hole at the center of the whole question.
Brian lays out the difference between the preponderance standard and proof beyond a reasonable doubt, explains exactly why a circumstantial case can still convict, and then does the thing most people in this field never have the nerve to do. He hands you the verdict. He also puts his own card on the table, including the daylight sighting he had in Washington State in twenty twenty-four, and explains why, as an atheist and a rigor-first researcher with no patience for the woo, he still argues that his own eyewitness account has no business moving the jury.
If you care about Bigfoot evidence, Sasquatch research, cryptid investigation done with actual standards, and the honest question of what it would really take to confirm an unknown North American primate, this one is built for you. You are the jury. Weigh it honestly.

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.
Doug explains how a late-night drive home through the dark, winding canyon near the Collier Tunnel and The Narrows turned into one of the most unforgettable moments of his life when his headlights and orange truck lights revealed a massive upright figure walking along the road.Doug describes the creature as unlike the classic bulky depictions many people imagine. Instead, he saw something towering, lean, powerful, and athletic, with the build of an enormous basketball player.
He estimates it stood somewhere around ten feet tall or more, with long arms, massive shoulders, a narrow waist, pronounced musculature, pale gray skin, dark charcoal-gray hair, and orange-red eyes that appeared to catch the light as Doug passed in his 1995 Chevy dually. The creature did not run, panic, or react aggressively. It simply kept walking, calm and natural, as Doug drove by close enough to see its face, body structure, stride, hands, feet, and skin in startling detail.
The conversation moves beyond the sighting itself into the emotional aftermath of seeing something so rare and impossible to easily explain. Doug talks about the shock, excitement, fear, and frustration that followed, especially after sharing the story with people who dismissed him or made him feel ridiculed. Over time, encouragement from his wife and conversations with Native friends, outdoorsmen, hunters, and other witnesses helped him become more open about what he saw.
He also shares related local accounts from the same region, including sightings near Siskiyou Forks Road, Bluff Creek, Bald Hills Road, the Klamath River, Monkey Creek, and other deeply remote parts of Northern California and Southern Oregon.Brian and Doug also dig into one of the biggest questions surrounding roadside Sasquatch encounters: why would such an elusive creature be seen walking near or on a road? Brian offers the possibility that, like other animals, Sasquatch may sometimes use roads as the path of least resistance while moving from one area to another.
Doug adds his own thoughts about the rugged terrain, river corridors, steep granite slopes, and hidden access points in the area where his encounter occurred. The discussion touches on Native traditions, flesh-and-blood theories, spiritual questions, government secrecy, missing people, wilderness fear, and the strange mix of curiosity and danger that seems to follow this phenomenon.

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. The first comes from a man we'll call Travis, an Ahtna man with family ties down the Copper River Valley who saved for years to carve out a small homestead on a five-acre piece of native allotment land.
Three years ago, on the third morning of an early trip with his wife, the couple's coffee was interrupted by a grunt and then a growl that seemed to come from every direction. What Travis first took for a bear turned out to be something far stranger, peering over ten-foot alders from twenty-five yards out. His wife saw it clearly first, describing a caveman-like figure with dark grayish-black skin, black eyes, a broad flat nose with downward-facing nostrils, and a strange blondish-red coat of hair.
What followed was a two-day siege, with multiple creatures circling the cabin, jiggling the door handle, throwing rocks onto the roof, and fixating on Travis's wife, who reported hearing one of them telling her to come over in her own head. Rifle shots, a near-decision to burn the tree line, a sleepless night, and a tense armed extraction with friends the next morning all play out before they finally reach their ATVs and escape. Travis has returned since, learning from the previous owners that activity reliably picked up twice a year, every spring and fall.
The second story reaches back to the spring of 1946 and comes from an Ahtna elder we'll call Tyler, passed down across a lifetime from his father, Tyler Senior. Set in the gold country near what would later become the Taylor Highway at Mosquito Creek, in an area then known as Forty Mile, the account follows Tyler Senior and two cousins working a small claim. After days with no wildlife stirring, the harassment began with strange whoops, whistles, and pigeon-like cooing from the tree line, then escalated to rocks thrown with painful accuracy, a wrung-off caribou head and a stripped hindquarter lobbed into camp, and a black silhouette swaying at the edge of the firelight.
Heavily armed with old-school large-bore rifles, the men fired volley after volley at a creature that ran through their fire, scattered the embers, and seemed to vanish each time they shot. By the time multiple siren-like screams answered one another up and down the valley before dawn, the men packed up and abandoned the operation for good.
The lesson Tyler Senior carried and passed down was simple and consistent: you never engage the bushman, you leave, because if you don't, it doesn't stop.

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.Using Brian’s recent newsletter topic as the foundation, the discussion explores how the scientific method can help researchers, enthusiasts, and witnesses examine claims without immediately jumping to the most extraordinary conclusion.
Brian reflects on campout experiences where people interpreted blurry shapes, broken sticks, unusual trees, possible footprints, and so-called structures as evidence of Sasquatch activity. He explains his diplomatic response of “that’s weird” while also emphasizing the importance of considering simpler explanations first, including pareidolia, human activity, environmental conditions, animal behavior, and confirmation bias.
Brian and Dr. Hogan also address the growing divide within the Bigfoot community between open-minded inquiry and uncritical belief. They discuss how explanations involving portals, mind speak, and other “woo” concepts can sometimes add unnecessary layers of mystery instead of bringing researchers closer to answers. While both remain open to possibilities, they stress that extraordinary claims require careful evaluation and that the strongest path forward is one rooted in evidence, humility, and intellectual honesty.
The conversation also touches on how artificial intelligence has made photographs and videos less reliable than ever, increasing the need for biological evidence, field discipline, and objective analysis. From debates surrounding the Patterson-Gimlin film to modern programs like Capturing Bigfoot, Brian and Dr. Hogan examine how ego, gullibility, infighting, and overinterpretation can weaken the search for truth.At its core, this episode is a reminder that critical thinking is not the enemy of belief. It is what gives the search for Sasquatch credibility.
Brian and Dr. Hogan encourage listeners to stay curious, get outside, investigate responsibly, question assumptions, and evaluate every claim with both an open mind and a grounded perspective.

Brian welcomes back North Carolina BFRO researcher Rick for a wide-ranging conversation filled with field reports, strange activity, and thoughtful discussion about the ever-evolving world of Bigfoot research. Rick begins by revisiting his own 2010 road-crossing encounter before taking listeners into recent BFRO expeditions in southeastern Tennessee and South Carolina’s Sumter National Forest, where investigators experienced a series of intense and unexplained nighttime events.
During these outings, Rick describes loud impacts against a metal building, rocks being thrown near the group, unusual eye shine or glowing eyes appearing 7 to 9 feet off the ground, and colors that seemed to shift between red, yellow-green, and white. He also discusses reports of “zapping” sensations, aggressive bull rushes when participants moved too close, and a large tree or log being thrown through the woods with enough force to convince the group it was time to leave the area.
The conversation also explores the stranger edges of field research, including occasional paranormal claims connected to investigation sites, such as reports of a “white lady” entity and voice-box messages that appeared to describe what participants were wearing.
Brian and Rick discuss how to balance open-minded investigation with healthy skepticism, the importance of Occam’s razor, and the challenge of separating compelling field experiences from overactive interpretation.Rick also shares his thoughts on managing enthusiastic participants, keeping expedition groups small, using trained and skeptical leaders, and conducting honest debriefs after high-strangeness events.
The episode closes with a broader conversation about technology, social media, and how the modern “Bigfoot narrative” is being shaped, challenged, and sometimes distorted by online culture.
Rick also talks about his field guide on stick structures, his I Know Squatch merchandise, upcoming appearances including Squatchapalooza on June 6 at Mills River Brewing, other festival events, and his music under the name Just Rick.

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel returns to the show with two chilling reported encounters from the Alaskan wilderness, each involving a large, aggressive, humanlike creature and witnesses forced to flee under terrifying circumstances.
In the first account, Timothy, an aspiring bush pilot, flies from Anchorage to Big Lake in June before continuing by floatplane to a remote pond near a friend’s cabin. While hiking a ridge late in the evening — despite the lingering daylight near 11 p.m. — Timothy is overcome by an intense feeling of unease. Moments later, he sees trees violently shaking, hears guttural clicks and eerie cackling sounds, and spots a massive dark figure he estimates to be 13 to 14 feet tall.
The encounter escalates when the creature appears to throw the top half of a spruce tree in his direction. Timothy fires his shotgun, then empties his .44 Magnum at what he describes as a crouched, spider-crawling mass. The figure suddenly rises to its full height, lets out a horrifying scream, and Timothy makes a desperate escape back to his floatplane.
The second account comes from brothers Derek and James, who describe a frightening 1979 trip along Alaska’s Snake River. While traveling through dense fog, they hear a powerful whoop and soon see a dark shape rise up into a massive bipedal form. The encounter intensifies as rocks are thrown and the creature begins making strange, motor-like imitation sounds, forcing the brothers to flee. Family members later refer to the being as a “hairy man.”

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 the foundation.
In part two, we leave Norman's personal experiences behind and we dig into the work he's spent the last several years building. His brand-new book, Before Patty, Volume One: Patrick, the Sasquatch-Human Hybrid and Our Genetic Inheritance, lays out a case unlike anything I've seen in this field in close to forty years of paying attention.Norman walks me through the chain that brought him to the story in the first place, starting with a self-published Russian hominology book he picked up at the twenty nineteen International Bigfoot Conference in Kennewick, Washington, that pointed him toward an obscure American anthropologist named Dr. Ed Fusch and a nineteen ninety-two paper most of the Bigfoot community had never heard of.
He walks me through how genealogist Heather Moser of Small Town Monsters cracked the trail open in forty-eight hours, and how Norman then spent the next two years personally tracking Patrick across the entire historical record, eventually surfacing a hundred and sixty documents that all point to the same man.The case Norman lays out is built on hard evidence. Birth records placing Patrick's birth in June of eighteen ninety-two, three months earlier than the family officially declared, with the strong implication that his mother was moved off-reservation to Chelan, Washington, to give birth in privacy.
A land patent on a hundred and four acres of Colville Reservation ranch land, signed by President Woodrow Wilson in nineteen seventeen. Court filings and arrest records from Patrick's later years documenting his slide into Prohibition-era bootlegging and alcoholism. Mugshots from the front and the side that show a man whose anatomy does not fit a clean Homo sapiens profile. And a careful ink signature in Patrick's own hand, consistent across roughly twenty-five years of documents, that now sits on the cover of Norman's book.Norman gets into the comparative anatomy in detail. The steeply sloped forehead without compensating brow ridges. The brain case that extends back behind the ears in a way no typical Homo sapiens skull extends. The ears themselves, sitting noticeably below the line between the pupils and rotated backward by roughly twenty-two degrees. The completely missing chin, the absence of the bony mentum projection, a feature that lines up cleanly with what we know about Neanderthal jaw structure.
The short compressed neck that mirrors Neanderthal cervical vertebrae. Norman ran comparative tracings against a Colville Indian contemporary and an Alaskan Native control, scaled to the same dimensions, and Patrick falls outside the human range on virtually every measurement that matters.We get into the strangeness of Patrick the man. The farmhand Louie, who worked for him through the late nineteen twenties, described him as a quiet gentle boss who was nearly impossible to play cards against because he always knew what everybody else was holding. We get into his eight children, including the three surviving daughters Mary Louise, Madeline, and Stella, and the inheritance that shows up in their faces and bodies in varying degrees.
We get into Patrick's slow decline through the nineteen twenties and thirties, the loss of the ranch, the bootlegging arrests, the hops-picking years, and the death in a Seattle morning in nineteen sixty-two on the same day Norman himself first arrived in the United States as a small child.And we get to the bottom line. Norman makes the case, plainly, that Patrick was real. That his father was not a human father. That the abduction described in the Sinixt family memory was a real event, with a real consequence, and that the consequence walked the earth for seventy years and left a paper trail any researcher with the time and the patience can now verify.
Norman's view, which I share, is that if Patrick is real, then at least some of what we are seeing out there in the woods is biologically close enough to us to interbreed and produce viable offspring.
The implications of that are not small.
You can pick up Norman's book at beforepatty.com, or through Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle. Better yet, ask for it through your local independent bookseller or Barnes and Noble. Norman has volume two on the way, making the broader evolutionary case for Sasquatch, with volume three to follow on what he calls the weird stuff. I'll have him back when those drop.

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 solo backpacking trip in 1980 to a remote lake in the Cascade Mountains that would leave him with questions he could not easily dismiss.
During that trip, Norman heard a chilling wail in the night, discovered a large muddy footprint near his tent, and was overcome by an urgent, unexplainable feeling that he needed to leave immediately. As he made his way out, the sound of breaking branches behind him only deepened the mystery.After stepping away from the subject in the mid-1980s, Norman’s interest was reignited years later during a 2006 retreat in Illinois, where he witnessed a small, black, fuzzy-edged figure watching people from a distance.
What first seemed strange and difficult to explain would later lead him to consider the possibility that he had seen a juvenile Sasquatch.
Norman also shares a series of unusual experiences from Alaska and Massachusetts, including the feeling of being watched, possible structures, tracks, scat, tree breaks, strange vocalizations, possible eye shine, and unexplained knocks both near his home and along trails around his remote cabin. This is Part 1 of Brian’s conversation with Norman Solie, centered on Norman’s personal encounters and field experiences.
Part 2 airs this Sunday and will focus on Norman’s book, Before Patty Volume One: Patrick The Sasquatch/Human Hybrid & Our Genetic Inheritance. Make sure you come back for that.

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 version most people learn, why simple isn't really the right word for what Occam was getting at, and how a good razor cuts both ways for the lazy skeptic and the eager believer alike.
Brian also gets honest, on the record, about his disagreement with Bill Munns on the new Capturing Bigfoot documentary and the forty second clip the filmmakers say was shot on 1966 film stock. With genuine respect for Bill and the work he's done, Brian walks through why the simplest explanation for that footage isn't the one Bill is offering, why he thinks Bill is working backward from a conclusion rather than forward from the evidence, and why the honest position is to keep both possibilities on the table while the rest of the story unfolds.
From the witness record and dermal ridges to the Sierra Sounds, from his own 2024 sighting in Washington State to the absence of a body that remains the field's central problem, this episode lays out the biological case clearly and then turns to the part that's been on his mind lately.
The shift among some of his guests toward an interdimensional, telepathic, paranormal Sasquatch, and the slippery slope of explaining one mystery by stacking another mystery on top of it.Brian closes with a hard look at citizen science.
The documentation discipline he learned in the academy, the role of independent labs, the value of negative results, the trap of confirmation bias, and the patient work that eventually moved meteorites and the giant squid from myth to accepted science.

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.
Brian narrated Bill's open letter in full on a recent Sasquatch Odyssey episode, and on this episode he and Hogan break down what Bill actually said and what it might mean. Bill doubles down on his position that the PGF is one hundred percent authentic, but in doing so he may have painted himself into a corner. If the forty-second clip in the new documentary turns out to look identical to Patty, then by Bill's own reasoning that clip has to be a man in a suit, which raises serious questions about the original film.
Brian also pushes back on Bill's claim that the new clip was shot on 1966 Kodak film stock but possibly not used until 1970 or later, arguing that filmmakers are creatures of habit who use their film within a reasonable window of purchase.Hogan brings the scientific perspective and pushes back on Bill's use of absolute language, explaining that science does not prove anything to one hundred percent and that any such claim is a methodological red flag.
He also takes issue with the assumption-based reasoning around the color of the foot, the angle of the step, and the supposed impossibility of anyone obtaining a Bigfoot suit. Both guys remind listeners that two things can be true at once, that the PGF could be a hoax and Bigfoot could still exist, and that everyone should reserve final judgment until they can see Capturing Bigfoot for themselves.
From there the conversation moves to Sasquatch Ontario and Mike Patterson's announcement of a new book called The Invisible Giant, which Brian considers part of one of the longest-running hoaxes in the Bigfoot world. That leads into a broader discussion of the growing divide in the Bigfoot community, which Hogan compares to the ongoing chimpanzee civil war at the Ngogo community in Uganda, the largest chimp group ever documented.
Hogan shares firsthand stories of being caught in the middle of chimp battles during his field research and explains how the loss of key social connectors can fracture a group, drawing a clear parallel to what is happening between the flesh-and-blood camp and the high-strangeness camp in Bigfoot research.Brian then previews his upcoming interview with David Bacara of the Expedition Bigfoot Museum in Blue Ridge, Georgia, and the guys discuss David's skepticism about Gigantopithecus and his belief that Sasquatch may be controlled by some other force.
Hogan walks through the actual evidence for Gigantopithecus, including the Y-five dental pattern that identifies ape molars and the discovery of the original teeth being sold as dragon teeth in Chinese apothecary shops.
The episode also covers Brian's edge theory for why Bigfoot sightings happen in suburban areas, the importance of Occam's razor when evaluating high-strangeness reports, and Hogan's closing public service announcement on the difference between territories and home ranges in primates.

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 mountains, knows what belongs out there, and ran headfirst into something that didn't.Brett's first brush with the unknown happened when he was around 16 or 17 years old, somewhere in 2006 or 2007, while camping at the alpine lakes on the western side of I-25 in southern Colorado.
A fire, a friend, a quiet night, and then a sound coming out of the tree line that didn't match anything he had ever heard in those mountains. He describes it as a howl, but a howl with bass to it, something guttural that didn't track as canine. His buddy went pale almost immediately and told him his grandpa had warned him about Bigfoot. That was the first time Brett had ever really heard the word in any serious way, and the wood knocks rolling in from the timber that night did the rest of the work. The bigger story, and the one that has stayed with him for almost twenty years now, happened in the summer of 2009 on a remote stretch of road between Durango and Alamosa.
Brett, his now-wife, and his best friend Paul were on a road trip out to California after graduating high school. Somewhere south of the Four Corners, deep in unfamiliar country and lost off the MapQuest directions, a doe ran out in front of the Jeep and refused to leave the road. She kept pace in the headlights for a couple hundred yards, which any hunter will tell you is not normal deer behavior.
Then Brett saw it on an embankment off the driver's side. Seven to ten feet tall, black and shaggy, and a pair of eyes he describes as Texas Longhorn orange catching the headlights and then dimming as he passed.His friend Paul, who comes from a Hispanic and Native American family, refused to discuss it for the next ten or fifteen miles down the road. When he finally broke, he confirmed everything Brett had seen, then immediately shut it back down with three words that get to the heart of so much of this phenomenon.
We don't talk about him. Paul had been raised to believe that talking about this creature is what brings him around to take children. That cultural weight, that learned silence, is something I've explored on this show many times with Fred from Alaska and others, and Brett's experience puts a fresh face on it.We get into the wood knocks Brett heard up at the alpine lakes and how they compare to what I heard with Todd Standing up in Radium and what I've experienced right here on my own property in North Carolina.
Brett describes the sound as more of a hollow whop than a wood-on-wood thud, and we talk through my growing belief, shaped by years of conversations with Doug Hajicek and Tom Powell, that a lot of these knocks are being made with the mouth and hand rather than with sticks or clubs.
The simple reality is that you cannot walk into the woods and reliably find a piece of wood solid enough to produce that kind of report. The physics don't work.The conversation moves into eye shine, which is where Brett's hunting background really earns its keep. He breaks down the difference between the green and white shine you get off deer and elk, the yellow on cats and bears, and the quick flash of a mountain lion crossing a road, and then explains why what he saw that night fit none of it. The eyes were steady. They tracked the Jeep without flinching. The creature didn't move, didn't hide, didn't react the way anything in those woods is supposed to react.
Brett's read, and I think it's a sharp one, is that the thing was hunting that doe and the Jeep just happened to roll into the middle of it.We spend real time on the question of why people clam up after these encounters, and Brett's answer is honest and uncomfortable. Most of the time it's not culture, it's social pressure. He had this conversation with his own parents after the sighting and got the standard dismissals. Probably a bear. You were tired. It was late. He's watched friends shut down their own stories mid-sentence at a bar because of how the table might react.
His framing is one I appreciated. If you are comfortable with who you are, it shouldn't matter whether your best friend believes you. The story is yours either way.There's a moment in this episode I want to call out because it caught me off guard in the best way. Brett pauses the interview to ask me a question, which almost never happens on this show, and he proposes a theory about my own experiences filming My Bigfoot Life out in the Pacific Northwest in the summer of 2024. He suggests that the calm I felt during that night hike, when I was within ten feet of one of these things and chose to chase it up the ridge rather than retreat, is the same conditioned response that kicked in during my sixteen years in law enforcement, including the two times I was shot at on the job with the Atlanta Police Department. The sheepdog reflex. Run toward the danger, not away from it. I had never quite framed it that way myself, and he might be onto something.
We close with Brett's confirmation moment, which came years after the sighting when a Native American truck driver from the Four Corners region described the exact same orange eyes on the exact same pass without Brett feeding him a single detail. That kind of independent corroboration, from a man whose culture has been quietly tracking this creature for centuries, is the kind of data point that doesn't show up in a documentary but matters more than most of what does.
Brett's encouragement to anyone sitting on a story is the same encouragement I have been giving for years on this show. Send it in. It doesn't have to be five feet away. It doesn't have to come with video.
Every account is another data point in a repository we are still building together, and the only way this conversation moves forward is if people stop swallowing what they saw.
A huge thank you to Brett for trusting me with his story, for the great questions he turned back on me, and for being exactly the kind of grounded, thoughtful witness this subject needs more of.

In this episode, Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel speaks by phone with Patquah, an Inupiaq man originally from Utqiagvik who has spent years living in the Noatak River Valley.
Their conversation explores subsistence living in Arctic Alaska, the nomadic history of the Inupiaq people, and the oral traditions passed down through generations to help hunters, travelers, and families understand the dangers of the land.Patquah shares accounts of strange lights, unexplained wilderness phenomena, and traditional warnings about “little people” said to inhabit remote areas of Alaska.
These stories include descriptions of foot-tall mountain beings with red eyes and unusual strength, as well as child-sized figures wearing pointed hoods. Rather than framing these traditions as simple folklore or superstition, Patquah explains how elders used these stories as practical survival knowledge, teaching younger generations to respect the land, pay attention to signs, and avoid becoming careless in dangerous country.The conversation then turns to a recent and unsettling experience from April 21, 2026, during a snowmachine hunting trip near the Noatak–Kivalina trail in Northwest Alaska.
While traveling through the area, Patquah heard a powerful, echoing scream that seemed to carry across the landscape and left him with the strong feeling that he was being watched. The following day, as weather conditions worsened and he and two companions briefly became disoriented, they spotted a large, dark, hairy figure sitting on a ridge. After viewing it through binoculars, the group chose to leave the area rather than approach.Patquah later learned that relatives and other hunters had reported similar screams and sightings in the region, adding another layer to an already compelling account.
This episode blends Inupiaq oral tradition, Alaska Native cultural history, remote wilderness survival, and a modern hairy man encounter from the Mulgrave Hills and Noatak River Valley region.

This episode marks the first official installment of our brand-new segment, The Bigfoot Inquiry — a new evidence-driven series where Brian King-Sharp and Dr. Hogan Sherrow take on the Bigfoot topics most people in the community either avoid, dismiss, or simply refuse to talk about honestly.
This will most likely become a weekly segment, with Hogan and Brian digging into the claims, controversies, evidence, personalities, and long-standing debates that continue to shape the Sasquatch world.And for the first episode, there may be no bigger place to begin than with the most famous piece of Bigfoot evidence ever captured: the Patterson-Gimlin Film.
For decades, the PGF has stood at the center of the Bigfoot debate. To some, it is the strongest visual evidence ever recorded of an unknown North American primate. To others, it is nothing more than a well-executed hoax. But with the release of the new documentary Capturing Bigfoot, new questions, perspectives, and claims are being brought into the conversation — some of which may challenge what we know, or at least what we think we know, about the film.
So what happens when 16 years of law enforcement experience meets nearly 30 years of primate behavioral research? That's the foundation of The Bigfoot Inquiry.
Hosted by former police officer Brian King-Sharp and Dr. Hogan Sherrow, PhD in Evolutionary Anthropology, this segment approaches the Sasquatch phenomenon through two very different but complementary lenses: real investigative procedure and scientific analysis.
Brian brings 16 years of experience analyzing crime scenes, evaluating witness credibility, reconstructing events, and asking the uncomfortable questions that often separate assumption from evidence.
Dr. Sherrow brings nearly three decades of studying primate behavioral ecology in the wild, with expertise in locomotion, habitat, social behavior, evolutionary biology, and the realities of how primates move, survive, adapt, and leave evidence behind. Together, Brian and Hogan examine Bigfoot claims with structure, skepticism, curiosity, and respect.
In this debut episode, they dive into: The enduring mystery of the Patterson-Gimlin Film
• Why the film still matters nearly six decades later
• The arguments for and against its authenticity
• The new questions raised by the Capturing Bigfoot documentary
• What law enforcement-style analysis can bring to the PGF debate
• What primate behavior and evolutionary anthropology can reveal
• Why some evidence deserves closer scrutiny — even when it makes people uncomfortable.
This is not campfire storytelling. It is not blind belief. And it is not mockery. It is structured inquiry Because if Sasquatch exists, the evidence should be able to withstand scrutiny. And if it does not — we will say that too.

In this episode, Brian welcomes Todd, an Ohio native now living in Florida, to share how a series of unsettling experiences at Bird Rookery Swamp in October 2020 pulled him into the world of Bigfoot and Skunk Ape research. What began with the discovery of a large, deep footprint pressed into fresh cypress needles quickly turned into something harder to dismiss.
Todd describes repeated encounters with a powerful skunky, almost death-like odor, brush and small trees moving toward the trail, and the unmistakable sound of loud, bipedal splashing as something unseen retreated through the swamp.
As his curiosity grew, Todd began documenting what he found and connecting with others who had reported similar odors, sightings, and strange activity in the same area. He later formed the Explorers Network as a way to share swamp conditions, field notes, and ongoing observations. His search has since taken him to the Florida Trail, Loop Road, and other remote areas, where he has found additional large footprints, unusual tree structures, and what appeared to be a stick-triggered trap.
Todd also discusses his experimental use of sound in the field, including an artificial “howl and groan” Bigfoot call that he says consistently causes alligators to react and retreat. His current work includes long-term, fixed-location trail camera research at Myakka River State Park, where he is tracking wildlife patterns over the course of a full year.
Along the way, he has noted a sharp decline in visible wildlife, unexplained roaring sounds, booming footfalls, and the use of nearby geocache logs to help gauge human and animal activity in the area.

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back with more amazing encounters, and this time he brings us deep into the wild, unforgiving landscape of Alaska. Be sure to check out his channel using the link below.
In this episode, Fred shares Ralph’s chilling early-1980s encounter on the Willow side of Hatcher Pass, where what began as a routine trip to set up a travel trailer on soft breakup ground quickly turned into something far more terrifying. Ralph first believed he had spotted a bear near the treeline, but the massive figure he saw soon revealed itself to be something far more humanlike, standing an estimated nine-and-a-half to ten feet tall.
Over the following days and nights, the activity around the trailer intensified with guttural growls, strange clicking sounds, older tracks, and what appeared to be a worn path leading dangerously close to the trailer window.The encounter escalated when the trailer was violently tipped onto its side during a night of terrifying growls.
Ralph fired at the figure in the darkness and later discovered broken windows that had to be patched. On another night, he woke to see a large hand reaching through one of those broken windows, fired again, and then heard heavy movement across the roof.
After finding stacked lumber shoved deep into the ground, Ralph finally left the property and never returned. His brother would later abandon the land as well after experiencing similar unexplained events.
Fred also shares a haunting 1990s report from near the Kvichak River, where a wolf’s howl was followed by the appearance of twenty to thirty wolves and a strange “Jeremiah Johnson”-looking figure. Local elders warned people not to go out alone and spoke of “hairy men” connected to wolves, adding another eerie layer to Alaska’s long history of wild, remote, and unsettling Sasquatch encounters.

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel is back with two more amazing encounter stories. Be sure to check out Fred’s channel using the link below to see all his videos.In this episode, Fred shares two chilling accounts from the wilds of Alaska involving what many Native communities have long referred to as the “hairy man.”
The first story follows Rodolfo, a Filipino immigrant who joins an Alaska Native friend on a moose hunt near Grayling Creek off the Yukon River. What begins as a routine hunting trip quickly turns unsettling when the men hear strange whistling in the dark, spot a massive shadowy figure, and witness Rodolfo’s friend panic after shining a spotlight on what appears to be an angry, towering creature. As the encounter escalates, gunshots are fired when the figure comes within ten feet of them.
Later, Rodolfo sees the creature from a distance, only for the terror to continue that night near their landing area, where he reports eyeshine, a nearly ten-foot-tall figure baring its teeth, brushing dirt from itself, and letting out a terrifying scream before the men arrange an early pickup by radio.
The second account centers on Alvin and Myrna, an Athabascan couple hiking Devil’s Creek Trail in February 2020 with their nine-month-old Tibetan Mastiff. During the hike, something begins mimicking Myrna’s voice in an apparent attempt to lure the dog away. Moments later, the animal is snatched, leaving the couple shaken and desperate for answers.
Alvin later catches sight of the creature and hears a scream echo through the valley, turning a peaceful outing into a nightmare they would never forget.These stories serve as a powerful reminder of how vast, remote, and mysterious Alaska’s wilderness truly is. Whether you believe these encounters involve Bigfoot, the legendary hairy man, or something else entirely,
