Talking Weird #166 Ghosts of Waukesha with Josh Hughes

Welcome to Monsters on the Edge, a show exploring creatures at the edge of our reality in forests, cities, skies, and waters. We examine these creatures and talk to the researchers studying them.Joining us on this week's show:Raised in the rugged Appalachian region of East Tennessee, Harley Owens began as a typical hard working blue collar worker and avid outdoorsman —hunting, fishing, and exploring forested woodlands. But on September 23, 2020, a startling encounter at a Sawmill near Pound, Virginia shook his worldview: he discovered massive footprints photographed an unknown large hair covered creature and heard eerie, inhuman vocalizations. This experience, captured in a single shaky photo before his phone died, spurred a three year hiatus from the woods—until Thanksgiving 2023, when he mustered the courage to return and overcome what he thought was a fear of Bigfoot. Since reclaiming his path, Harley has fully embraced field research head on. He’s captured additional evidence—footprints, photos, and audio—documenting multiple encounters with Bigfoot and even Dogman in the Smoky Mountains. His work is rooted in authenticity and transparency, as he shares firsthand findings without sensationalism. Harley founded Bigfoot Reports & Data, a community-driven group on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, dedicated to gathering and analyzing cryptid sightings and evidence from Appalachia. He’s a sought-after guest on cryptid-focused podcasts such as Strangeology and The Confessionals, as well as on YouTube series like Beyond BMR and Bigfoot Society, where he discusses his encounters, field techniques, and his journey from skepticism to active investigation.Bigfoot Reports & Data Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/651979297049544Bigfoot Reports and Data YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@HarleyTheBigfootResearcherInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/bigfoot_reports_and_dataClick that play button, and let's unravel the mysteries of the UNTOLD!
