SO EP:693 Bigfoot, Kudzu, and Sweet Tea

Welcome to this special collection episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, featuring six of the most compelling Bigfoot encounters I’ve documented across the Southeastern United States over the past five years. These stories span sixty years of fear, awe, and unanswered questions, carrying us from Alabama’s river bottoms to South Carolina’s swamps, and showing why the South may be one of the last true sanctuaries for something we still don’t understand.

We open in the suffocating heat of Alabama in 1967, where a power company lineman working near the Cahaba River noticed something impossible: massive handprints sunk deep into a utility pole. Moments later, he found himself face to face with a towering presence that moved with purpose and intelligence. That encounter sets the tone for everything that follows—brief, terrifying interactions where the creature controls the moment, revealing itself only on its own terms.From there, we climb into the mountains of North Georgia in 1973, where four seasoned hunters discovered the woods had a hierarchy they didn’t sit atop.

Near Blue Ridge, their camp became the target of relentless intimidation—rocks crashing through darkness, trees shaking violently, and a chilling discovery at dawn: dozens of stick figures arranged in a perfect warning circle around them. The night didn’t just scare them; it shattered friendships and ended their lives in the forest forever.

The third account takes us into Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains in 1985, where a park ranger and wildlife biologist experienced something that demolished her scientific certainty.

While stationed in a fire tower, she watched a massive creature climb the structure and examine her equipment with unsettling curiosity, as if it understood what it was seeing. Even more disturbing was what she learned afterward—that similar encounters had been quietly documented for decades, tucked away and never meant for public eyes.The most heartbreaking story comes from the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas in 1991.

A family camping trip turned into a nightmare when towering beings approached their site and demonstrated strength beyond anything human—crushing rocks in their hands while the family huddled in terror. A young girl watched it unfold, and the trauma that followed tore the family apart, leaving permanent scars long after the woods fell silent again. In 2002, deep in North Carolina’s Pisgah National Forest, an experienced hiker found himself living through an encounter unlike any other in my files.

He described three days in captivity with what appeared to be a family group of these beings, observing tool use, complex social behavior, and a kind of focused curiosity toward human objects. His story challenges the idea of Sasquatch as a solitary wilderness phantom and suggests something closer to culture—structured intelligence living beyond our reach.Our final encounter lands in South Carolina in 2014, when college biology students captured forty-three minutes of high-definition footage of a creature inspecting their research equipment with clear understanding of its purpose.

What happened next was just as chilling as what they filmed: a rapid government response, confiscated evidence, and enforced silence that raises the question of how long this phenomenon has truly been known—and how actively it’s been buried.

Across six stories and six decades, the same threads surface again and again: the heavy, musky odor that announces their presence, the massive handprints left behind like signatures, and the unnerving sense of being watched by something that doesn’t panic or flee—but evaluates.

Most unsettling of all is the repeated realization that these creatures could harm us effortlessly, yet choose restraint instead. Witnesses don’t describe a mere animal. They describe something hovering in a blurred space between human and beast, perfectly adapted to remain hidden while living alongside us. What emerges from these accounts is a portrait of the American South as a vast refuge for an undiscovered species—or perhaps a parallel branch of human evolution that chose isolation over contact.

From Alabama’s rivers to Tennessee’s peaks and the deep wild of the Ozarks and Carolinas, these beings have claimed territories in the spaces we’ve ignored or forgotten. They watch from cover, occasionally stepping into view when a boundary is crossed, always vanishing before the mystery can be pinned down.

They want you to know the woods are not empty, that something ancient and intelligent still moves through them, and that the old instinct to tread carefully in the dark may be rooted in more than superstition.

As you listen, notice how the behavior of these creatures shifts over time, especially around human technology. Consider what it means that responses to evidence sometimes seem immediate and organized. And ask yourself what else might be sitting in classified files, protected by silence and dismissal.

These aren’t campfire tales or urban legends. They are documented encounters from credible witnesses whose lives were never the same afterward. The South keeps its secrets well, but every now and then—between darkness and dawn, between wilderness and civilization—those secrets step out just long enough to remind us how much we still don’t know.

This is the Remastered version of Episode 8 which aired originally on March 5th 2021. In addition to the improved audio and editing, I have included an additional 20 minutes of bonus audio in this version so you do not wanna miss it! My guest tonight is the legendary Ron Morehead. Best known for the Sierra Sounds, Ron is a renowned researcher, author, producer, and more importantly an experiencer. He's been known for decades for his world-wide research into the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon. The Sierra Sounds are the only Bigfoot recordings that have been scientifically studied, time tested, and accredited as being genuine. Ron has documented his personal interactions with the giant beings and produced his story on CD and in his book "Voices in the Wilderness". Very few researchers of his caliber are brave enough to publicly consider the hundreds of reports that include that"spooky action at a distance," (Einstein). In his most recent book, "The Quantum Bigfoot," Ron goes above and beyond, combining decades of experience and tireless hours of research into the palm of quantum physics as it could pertain to Bigfoot/Sasquatch. Besides being a Keynote Speaker at many conventions, he has been featured on countless radio programs such as Coast to Coast, BBC TV documentaries, and the Learning Channel.
