SO EP:680 The Minerva Mystery

SO EP:680 The Minerva Mystery

This episode dives into one of the most credible Bigfoot encounters ever recorded — the story of the Minerva Monster and the Cayton family’s terrifying summer of 1978 in Minerva, Ohio. Unlike most sightings that happen deep in the woods, this creature came straight to someone’s home — pressing its face against the kitchen window and shattering the line between folklore and reality.

It began with strange noises, an awful smell, and a dog too scared to go outside after dark. But soon, the family and their friends saw it with their own eyes — a massive, hair-covered figure standing near an old strip mine behind their house. We’ll walk through that unforgettable night in August when the creature appeared at their window, and the family’s fear turned to panic. Deputy James Shannon led an investigation that uncovered giant footprints, a tunnel through the brush, and hair samples that later disappeared.

He called it the strangest case of his career.As word spread, the Caytons’ quiet home became a circus of reporters, Bigfoot hunters, and curiosity seekers. They were mocked, harassed, and even taunted in public — yet they never took back their story. Decades later, their account has remained completely consistent.

You’ll also hear from other witnesses around Paris Township who saw or heard something similar, as well as journalists and researchers who came away convinced the family was telling the truth.

The Minerva Monster case still stands as one of the most compelling encounters in cryptid history — a story of ordinary people forced to face something extraordinary right in their own backyard.

SO EP:442 Sasquatch Sunset

SO EP:442 Sasquatch Sunset

I got to sit down with the minds behind the Sasquatch Sunset film, David and Nathan Zellner. We discussed thor approach to the making of the movie, as well as the how and why. The Zellner brothers, bring us the whimsical and surreal American comedy "Sasquatch Sunset." Written by David and featuring a stellar cast including Riley Keough, Jesse Eisenberg, Christophe Zajac-Denek, and Nathan Zellner himself, the film whimsically follows the adventures of a Sasquatch family over the course of a year. With the talented Ari Aster as an executive producer under Square Peg, the film made its debut at the prestigious 2024 Sundance Film Festival on January 19. Scheduled for release by Bleecker Street on April 12, 2024, "Sasquatch Sunset" promises to be a delightful and offbeat cinematic experience.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Book Sasquatch Unleashed The Truth Behind The LegendLeave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Hangar 1 PublishingFactor Meals Use Code ODYSSEY50 At CheckoutBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
