SO EP:658 Bigfoot Encounters from America's Midwest
Tonight, we head into the Midwest—where cornfields meet deep forests, and something on two legs walks where it shouldn’t exist. From Illinois’ Big Muddy Monster and the Cole Hollow Road Monster, to Michigan’s Dogman and countless Bigfoot sightings, the heartland has proven just as strange as any swamp or mountain.We’ll revisit the chilling Beast of Bray Road, the eerie Van Meter Visitor with its glowing horn, and the Lockridge Monster’s unsettling appetite.From Wendigo legends in Minnesota to a Missouri sheriff’s secret 1998 encounter in the Mark Twain National Forest, the stories are as bizarre as they are unforgettable.Along the way, we examine the physical evidence, the role of new technologies like eDNA, and the lasting impact these encounters have on communities.Are these creatures real, misunderstood, or something else entirely? One thing is certain: somewhere in the Midwest tonight, something is walking through the fields and forests—and it doesn’t match anything science can explain.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

SO EP:655 Bigfoot In The Southern Woods
Growing up in the north Georgia mountains in the 1980s, I had an encounter that changed everything I thought I knew about the world. Something massive, walking on two legs, chased me out of the woods when I was twelve years old. That terrifying experience sent me down a decades-long rabbit hole, researching and collecting stories from across the American Southeast.In this episode, I share my personal encounter along with the haunting story of Mr. Brown, a Summerville carpenter who came face-to-face with an injured eight-foot-tall creature while hunting ginseng in 1986. We explore the hidden history of Sasquatch sightings throughout Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and the Carolinas, from ancient Cherokee legends of Tsul 'Kalu to modern-day encounters captured on police dash cams.Despite what skeptics claim about the Southeast being too developed for unknown primates to exist, the evidence tells a different story. We examine compelling accounts from the Minnehaha Falls incident, the Florida Skunk Ape photographs, Tennessee's Flintville Monster siege, and hundreds of other documented encounters that mainstream science refuses to acknowledge. From the vast wilderness of the Great Smoky Mountains to the impenetrable Everglades, these creatures have been seen by thousands of credible witnesses over centuries.This isn't about proving anything to anybody. This is about the truth of what people have experienced in the shadows of the Southern woods, and why these ancient mysteries deserve our respect, not our ridicule.Because sometimes, in those quiet moments when the fog rolls through the hollows and the modern world feels far away, we're reminded that we don't know everything about the forests we call home.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
