Those Aren't People!

This is the remastered version of my interview with Todd Neiss from episode 24 that aired back on May 14, 2021. Todd is a long time investigator with tons of field experience and some amazing encounters to share with us on the show tonight. He is also the organizer of the Beachfoot invite only yearly event, that hosts The Who’s Who of the Bigfoot world. Todd had his first sighting in the 90’s while conducting explosive maneuvers with the military. Stick around and hear his latest encounter from late this past year that he shares for the first time publicly. It’s a pretty wild account. See Todd’s bio below for more information on his life and experiences as a Bigfoot researcher.



Bigfoot witness-turned-researcher, Todd M. Neiss has been an active investigator for over 28 years. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, he grew up hearing of these legendary creatures, alternately known as Bigfoot or Sasquatch, but gave it little credibility beyond that of a good old-fashioned campfire tale designed to frighten young campers. All of that changed for Todd in the spring of 1993.

As a Sergeant in the Army's 1249th Combat Engineer Battalion, he came face to face with, not one, but three of the elusive giants in the temperate rain forest of Oregon's Coast Range while conducting high-explosives training. His sighting was independently corroborated by three fellow soldiers who also witnessed these creatures.

Since that fateful day, Neiss has conducted numerous investigations including several long-term expeditions in the Coastal, Cascade and Blue Mountain Ranges of Oregon & Washington, as well as Northern California, Arizona, Alaska, Nebraska and British Columbia. Todd believes that, in the tradition of Jane Goodall, Biruté Galdikas and Diane Fossey, the best way to obtain credible evidence of the existence of these fascinating beings is to insert a small research team into the heart of prime Bigfoot habitat for an extended period of time; ideally for 45 to 60-day rotations. In doing so, he hopes to acclimatize the creatures to their presence and eventually overcome their inherent apprehension of humans.

It is his opinion that these creatures possess a relatively high IQ in comparison to recognized great apes. Neiss’ current theory focuses on that presumed intelligence which he believes fosters an irresistible sense of curiosity...a curiosity which Neiss intends to exploit. By presenting a variety of baits as well as an array of unconventional, non-threatening lures within a pre-designated area, he hopes to successfully collect irrefutable evidence of these creature’s existence. "It is my goal to entice these animals by presenting a non-threatening posture and piquing their curiosity, thereby luring them into a specified area where irrefutable evidence can then be obtained," says Neiss. Once the creatures are officially recognized, his ultimate goal is to establish a management program to ensure their perpetual existence for future generations to appreciate.

Over the years, his research has garnered him international attention. He has been the subject of numerous documentaries and TV programs from the US and Canada to the UK and Germany. He has been featured on such programs as: Unsolved Mysteries, Encounters, To the Ends of the Earth, The UnXpected and has been featured on the Discovery Channel, Travel Channel and National Geographic. He has also appeared on numerous radio & TV talk shows, local newscasts and newspapers. He is currently producing a documentary about his recent expedition in the uninhabited Broughton Archipelago of British Columbia called “Operation: Sea Monkey” completed on October 1st, 2016.

He has been a featured speaker at several colleges and universities, and was a regular contributor to the Annual Sasquatch Symposium series held in British Columbia, Canada from 1996 through 1999. Neiss has instructed classes on Bigfoot for the Audubon Society as well as the Campfire Boys & Girls Society; the former involving both classroom and field work and culminating with an overnight working camp in the "Dark Divide" of Washington State's Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Recently he instructed a class for the Scappoose Middle School’s outdoor school.

Most recently, Neiss was a featured for the History Channel’s “The UnXplained” with William Shatner on August 21, 2020. It will air sometime in late November.

Todd is the host of the annual, invitation-only gathering of international Bigfoot researchers called “Beachfoot.” This retreat is held every summer in Oregon’s temperate Coast Range. This unique event has drawn noted researchers from as far away as Australia, Russia, England, Canada, New Zeeland and nearly every state in the U.S. This year will mark their 14th anniversary of the event.

Neiss co-founded the American Primate Conservancy with his wife, Diane Stocking Neiss five years ago. The conservancy was granted a “Domestic Non-Profit Corporation” status by the state of Oregon On October 15, 2015. Their primary mission is “the discovery, knowledge, research, recognition, and protection of the Sasquatch.” The organization has been quietly organizing expeditions, conducting investigations, and participating in multi-media and public speaking engagements in an effort to promote their agenda. They have been actively pursuing grants, donations, sponsorships and volunteers for ongoing research projects.

Ultimately, they plan to establish a world-class “Bigfoot Interpretive Center” in the Pacific Northwest as a showcase for promoting public awareness and education regarding these amazing creatures. The facility would include: an interactive museum, auditorium/conference center, art gallery, multi-media studio, classrooms, library, forensics laboratory, nature walk and outdoor amphitheater.

A veteran of the Iraq War, Neiss recently retired with meritorious honors from the U.S. Army; where he served for over 21 years.

When not working on the project, writing, or conducting research, Todd enjoys fishing, hunting, hiking and camping throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Todd and his wife currently live near Mount Hood, 50 miles east of Portland, Oregon. Nestled in the beautiful Cascaded Mountains, the “Chateau de Squatch” is in an ideal location for which to conduct their research and serves as the temporary headquarters for the conservancy.

The American Primate Conservancy has a website (www.americanprimate.org) which provides information about the Conservancy, projects past and present, theories, and more. Anyone with a legitimate sighting is encouraged to contact Neiss at 971-570-0097 or by e-mail at americanprimate@aol.com. He promises to treat every report confidentially, respectfully and professionally.

SO EP:147 Is There Something To This Sasquatch Thing?

SO EP:147 Is There Something To This Sasquatch Thing?

My guest tonight comes to us from my home state of North Carolina. Chris was a staunch skeptic when it came to Bigfoot, but he has had some encounters near the Uwharrie National Forest that may have changed his mind! Check out his email below. Support The Showhttps://www.patreon.com/paranormalworldproductionsAll The Socials And Stuff/Contact Brianhttps://linktr.ee/ParanormalWorldProductionsFollow The Show On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sasquatchodyssey/Chris Writes....Hey Brian! First of all, Love the show! You do a bang up job! So, I’ve had 3 encounters with what I believe have been Sasquatch in central NC. It wasn’t until the 3rd one happened that I started putting pieces together. Just a little history about myself. I have lived around the Uwharrie National Forest 95% of my life. I’ve always heard stories of people seeing Bigfoot type creatures or hearing screams, whoops and so forth. But, being I have always enjoyed the outdoors hunting, fishing and gold panning - I never believed in any of this. Finding Bigfoot came and did a show in the Uwharries and had their “town hall meeting” at the fire station that I volunteered at. I was sick at the time and couldn’t go to the meeting but I wanted to go hear these “crazy peoples” stories and see what it was all about. At the next fire meeting all the firemen where laughing and joking about “these people” and their outlandish stories. So to say I was a skeptic was an understatement. Fast forward a few years. I talked with a guy at church who knew I was into gold panning and wanted me to come down and check his creek to see if it had any gold. I agreed and said I wasn’t sure when I could come but I would first free second I had. I ended up getting off work around lunch time one day and decided to go down and check it out. They weren’t home so I parked at the gate and walked in to the property about 200 yards or so. To give you an idea of the landscape as you walk down an old logging road there is a mountain immediately to my right that would be tough to walk up and had a power line running up and over the mountain top. To my left is about 20ft of rough brush lining the creek. The creek banks are about 4ft tall with the creek running in the bottom. So as I’m walking I’m trying to find a clear spot to get down to the creek. Knowing this area is swarming with Timber Rattlers I’m taking my time and watching my steps carefully. So at about the 200yrd area I find a nice, clear, pretty level spot to climb into the creek. In the creek in a huge flat rock and I decide to use it as a work station to put my backpack and stuff on to keep them dry. So I’m here about 2 hrs and decide to stop and take a break. I’m standing there drinking some water and watching leeches swim around my rubber boots. All of a sudden something came flying through the tree tops. My first thought is “I’ve never heard a bird flying through the tree tops hitting limbs and leaves like that!” My second thought was maybe it was acorns falling? But I’m surrounded by pines! And it was moving from left to right and not straight down! So as I’m standing there scratching my head I hear something else! This time I track it with my eyes and see a rock about the size of a Jr sized football fly over my head, over the creek and land in the brush on the other side with a thud! I’m standing there with my mouth agape! I put my hand on my 9mm and say out loud “You stay over there and I’ll stay over here!” I pack my stuff up and head for my truck! As I’m walking out I feel like I’m being watched! So I have my head on a swivel! At the end of the logging road where I parked is what was used as the logging deck, so it’s kind of open. The tree line felt like a tidal wave that was going to engulf me if I didn’t get away! I threw my stuff in the bed of my truck and hauled ass! When I got to the next stop sign I had to take a minute and get myself together! I was shook! I’ve got more detail about the aftermath and 2 more encounters while hunting and fishing if you are interested.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
