BWBS Ep:134 The Ginseng Hunters Confession

BWBS Ep:134 The Ginseng Hunters Confession

This episode is all about the chilling deathbed confession of Clyde, an 82-year-old West Virginia mountain man who, after forty years of silence, reveals the night he crossed paths with something ancient—and deadly. In 1983, deep on Beartown Ridge, Clyde’s life became entangled with a wounded Sasquatch whose rage and desperation had turned it from a hidden legend into a relentless predator.

Told through the lens of a lengthy, almost desperate email to a stranger, Clyde’s story weaves generations of Appalachian folklore with a harrowing first-hand account of survival. It begins with eerie tales passed down from his grandfather—stories of glowing-eyed creatures prowling the ridgelines since 1902—and builds to a terrifying truth: a bear hunter’s shot in 1981 didn’t just wound a Sasquatch, it unleashed a predator that stalked the hollows, perhaps even claiming the lives of missing children.

Clyde’s account avoids the usual Bigfoot clichés. Instead, it paints a disturbing portrait of intelligence and intent—a creature limping from an old wound, calculating every move, and watching with an almost human hunger in its eyes. His final confrontation, where he was forced to fire again and again just to survive, left more than scars. It left a lifetime of guilt.

But this is more than a survival tale. Clyde believes his actions shattered an unspoken balance between the Sasquatch and the mountain folk, triggering a wave of encounters and disappearances that still haunt the region.

His confession is not just a warning but a reckoning—one that suggests the mountains remember every trespass, and that some wounds, once inflicted, can never truly heal.
