In this episode, we explore three unsettling encounters from the Pacific Northwest wilderness that challenge our understanding of what lives in the deep forests. Our first account comes from an experienced hunter who discovered that some meetings in the woods feel less like chance encounters and more like carefully arranged appointments. The second story follows a photographer documenting abandoned settlements who learned that not all forgotten places are truly empty.Finally, we hear from a property caretaker who uncovered the terrifying truth behind an elderly woman's final months of fear. Each story reveals a different facet of wilderness encounters, from the mysteriously peaceful to the genuinely predatory.These accounts remind us that the boundary between civilization and the wild is thinner than we might imagine, and that some residents of the forest have been watching us far longer than we've been watching them.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

This episode brings you the chilling account of Jeremiah—a man who sought peace in the remote mountains of North Georgia and found something far more disturbing. After a bitter divorce and burnout from corporate life, Jeremiah bought 47 acres near the Tennessee border. His plan was simple: build a log cabin by hand, live off-grid, and start over. For a while, it worked. He found the quiet, self-sufficient life he’d been craving. But the silence didn’t last.Strange sounds turned into unrelenting psychological torment. Something in the woods was watching him—something intelligent, organized, and malicious.These weren’t animals acting on instinct. They understood how to break a man down—and they took their time doing it. Jeremiah’s detailed, matter-of-fact account paints a picture of a slow, deliberate descent into fear. His story isn’t dramatic for the sake of drama. In fact, it’s his restraint that makes it so believable. He admits to questioning his sanity. He searched for rational explanations. But what happened over six months on that mountain left no room for doubt.The final days were a calculated siege—one meant to destroy not just his shelter, but his will to stay. He escaped with his life, but not his peace of mind. He’s never spoken publicly about it since.The cabin still stands, forgotten and overgrown, a quiet warning for whoever comes next.This episode is more than a ghost story. It’s a reminder that some places don’t belong to us—and some things in the wild know exactly how to make sure we don’t forget it.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

What if everything we think we know about Sasquatch is wrong? This week, we explore a much darker side of Bigfoot lore—one filled with violence, fear, and unanswered questions. This isn’t the gentle forest giant myth we’ve all heard. Instead, we dive into chilling cases where unexplained deaths, strange disappearances, and disturbing evidence suggest something far more dangerous may be roaming our wilderness.From a Creek Indian found beaten to death in a prayer position in 1920s Oklahoma to a blood-soaked campsite in modern-day Minnesota, the stories we cover hint at a pattern of brutal encounters stretching across decades. We revisit the eerie abandonment of Port Chatham, Alaska, where residents fled from a terrifying creature they called the nantiinaq. We examine the desperate final moments of Jim Carter, an expert skier who vanished without a trace near Mount St. Helens, and the baffling disappearance of Bart Schleyer, a seasoned bear expert whose remains were scattered across the Yukon wilderness. We also confront the unsettling mystery of Theresa Ann Bier, a teenager who vanished on a Sasquatch expedition, and Jordan Girder, whose winter survival camp ended in inexplicable bloodshed.Throughout the episode, we question why so many of these deaths are written off as accidents or misclassified by officials, and what it might mean if the intelligence behind these incidents is greater than we want to believe.Is Sasquatch truly a misunderstood relic—or are some of the legends warning us about something real, something we’ve chosen not to see? This episode peels back the folklore and looks straight into the shadows.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
