In this episode, Bill—a retired forest ranger—shares his full, unedited account of six encounters that changed the course of his 25-year career with the U.S. Forest Service. From 1994 to 2019, Bill worked in wildlife tracking and wilderness patrol, but early on, a senior ranger showed him a footprint and warned him about things they don’t put in reports. That moment marked the beginning of a quiet obsession. He  eventually left the job five years before qualifying for full pension. What drove him out was a long trail of unexplained phenomena—patterns he could no longer ignore, and stories the agency refused to acknowledge. His encounters span decades and locations, from Oregon to the Adirondacks, each one revealing signs of intelligence, curiosity, and restraint from something that doesn’t officially exist.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In this episode, we explore three unsettling encounters from the Pacific Northwest wilderness that challenge our understanding of what lives in the deep forests. Our first account comes from an experienced hunter who discovered that some meetings in the woods feel less like chance encounters and more like carefully arranged appointments. The second story follows a photographer documenting abandoned settlements who learned that not all forgotten places are truly empty.Finally, we hear from a property caretaker who uncovered the terrifying truth behind an elderly woman's final months of fear. Each story reveals a different facet of wilderness encounters, from the mysteriously peaceful to the genuinely predatory.These accounts remind us that the boundary between civilization and the wild is thinner than we might imagine, and that some residents of the forest have been watching us far longer than we've been watching them.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
