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:131 Bigfoot History Volume 1

Hey everyone! I wanted to drop in your feed a day early and share a new segment I want to try on the show. We have talked about the history of this phenonenon before on the show, but I want to take a deeper dive into the rich history of these elusive creatures, so here we are with the introduction to what I call Throw Back Thursday. My goal is to feature some of the greats and maybe even not so greats in the history of Bigfoot research and the quest for answers to if these creatures exist and if so what they are. I hope you enjoy the show. Please share your feedback and reach out anytime via email or any of our social media platforms using the links below.
