In this episode, Brian  welcomes Dorraine from Illinois to discuss her lifelong journey and enigmatic experiences with Bigfoot. Dorraine shares how her fascination began in childhood, fueled by her mother's interest in mysterious TV shows and a captivating encounter with what she believed to be Bigfoot footage. She recounts strange occurrences in her childhood, leading her to a deep connection with the forests around her home, and eventually to active Bigfoot research starting in 2011. Despite not capturing definitive photographic evidence, Dorraine describes significant metaphysical experiences, including telepathic communication and receiving 'gifts' from Bigfoot. She delves into the complexities of believing in and perceiving these elusive beings, contrasting physical encounters like the famous Patty film with her experiences. The discussion also explores broader themes of spiritual awakening and the limitations of logical, scientific approaches to understanding Bigfoot.

In this episode Brian narrates several stories, including one about  law enforcement officer Michael Thompson, who has dedicated 33 years to investigating the Bigfoot phenomenon. Accompanied by a cast made from a rare Sasquatch footprint from 1963, Michael shares his unwavering belief in the creature's existence, fueled by numerous eyewitness testimonies and unexplained footprints. This episode explores historical and contemporary reports of Bigfoot sightings across North America, discusses Michael's meticulous investigative methods, and delves into the cultural and scientific angles of cryptozoology. Despite skepticism, Michael remains committed to proving the reality of Bigfoot and continuing his relentless search for definitive evidence. Brian moves on to a story of a grandmother recounts raising her four grandchildren in a small New England town, detailing her work-life balance and the challenges her family faced. The story takes an unexpected turn when her grandchildren describe seeing a large, gorilla-like creature, which they later believe to be a 'Dogman'. This revelation is supported by past mysterious events such as the appearance of a large wolf and unusual animal prints. The narrative culminates in the realization that such cryptids might not be confined to forests but could be present in neighborhoods as well. 00:00 The Hunt Begins: Searching for Bigfoot in Alaska 00:09 Meet Michael Thompson: A Lifetime of Bigfoot Research 00:53 Evidence and Encounters: Footprints and Sightings 01:26 Theories and Beliefs: Bigfoot's Existence 04:19 Tracking Bigfoot: Michael's Methods and Tools 05:35 Global Phenomenon: Bigfoot Around the World 08:07 Close Encounters: Eyewitness Accounts 11:40 A Terrifying Encounter: A Woman's StoryBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

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.
