SO EP:673 The Florida Skunk Ape

Tonight I decided to repost my interview from episode 347 from August 2023, with the late Henry Franzoni. Henry past away a few weeks ago, and I wanted to pay tribute. Henry was an author, scientist, and long time Bigfoot researcher. He shares his personal encounters with these elusive creatures, as well as explaining his theories on what he believes they are and are not. Henry's new book Failing In A Cooler Way: Why I Never Found Bigfoot is now available.

In this episode, we explore two riveting stories from Alaska. The first recounts an eerie 1978 camping trip in the Tracy Arm Fords Terror Wilderness Area, where Eric and his friends experienced mysterious screams and disturbing nighttime visits, leading them to believe they were being stalked by multiple Bigfoot creatures. The second tale, occurring just over a week ago, involves Walter, Bernice, and Michael encountering massive, tailed beings while crossing a bridge on the Taylor Highway, resulting in a terrifying ordeal involving rock-throwing and a dramatic escape. Both stories highlight the intense and often unsettling nature of Alaska's untamed wilderness.Listen To Backwoods Horror Stories Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Book Sasquatch Unleashed The Truth Behind The LegendLeave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Hangar 1 Publishing 00:00 Introduction to the Alaska Encounter 00:17 Setting the Scene: Powers Creek Adventure 01:30 First Signs of Trouble 03:50 The Night of Terror 05:47 The Decision to Leave 09:05 Final Confrontation and Escape 18:26 Reflection on the Encounter 19:17 New Encounter: The Taylor Highway Incident 20:23 The Mysterious Beings with Tails 31:23 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
