    Podcast Summary

    • Personal Bigfoot Encounter and Exciting Guest InterviewA listener shared a personal encounter with a Bigfoot, and the speaker, who has had fewer Bigfoot stories lately due to his growing audience, was excited to interview a guest who had a similar experience in the Pacific Northwest region.

      The speaker, Tony Merkel, had a personal encounter with a giant creature, possibly a Bigfoot, and shared his experience on his podcast. He described the creature as being large and powerful, and shared how he and others managed to kill it. The speaker also mentioned that he has had fewer Bigfoot encounters on his show lately due to its growing audience, but he was excited to interview Chris, a guest who had a Bigfoot experience in the same area where another encounter had previously taken place. Chris's encounter was significant because it happened in the Pacific Northwest, a region known for its large and impressive wildlife, and was similar to an encounter previously shared on the show. The speaker also mentioned that they offer emergency preparedness food on their website, encouraging listeners to be prepared for unexpected situations.

    • Encountering an Unusual Structure in the WoodsDuring a camping trip, an unusual structure sparked intrigue and unease. Despite trying to rationalize natural noises, the experience left the speaker feeling uneasy and respectful of the natural world.

      During a camping trip with his friend, the speaker discovered an unusual structure in the woods that sparked intrigue and unease. The structure, which appeared to be a hunter's blind, was made from large logs and had a peculiar shape. The speaker's friend suggested that it might be haunted, and after jokingly provoking it, the speaker felt a strange sense of guilt. On the third night of their trip, they heard strange noises in the distance, including a loud whoop and a howl, followed by an air raid siren-like sound and a deafening silence. Despite feeling uneasy, the speaker tried to rationalize the noises as natural occurrences, but the experience left him feeling uneasy and unable to sleep well. The encounter served as a reminder to respect the natural world and avoid disturbing unknown structures or phenomena.

    • An Encounter with a Mysterious Creature in the WoodsDuring a camping trip, the speaker encountered a large, bipedal creature and felt compelled to investigate, leaving him feeling anxious and unable to sleep afterwards.

      The speaker had an encounter with a large, bipedal creature in the woods during a camping trip. Despite initial skepticism from his friend, the speaker felt compelled to investigate and fix a damaged structure. The next day, while hiking alone, he heard footsteps and saw the creature, which he described as being around 7.5 feet tall with a shoulder span of 4-4.5 feet and an ape-like face. The experience left the speaker feeling anxious and unable to sleep, and he returned to camp to share his story with his friend. The encounter remained a mysterious and unsettling experience for the speaker.

    • Encounter with an Unidentified Creature in the WoodsA witness reported an encounter with a large, intelligent creature that destroyed his camping gear while leaving others untouched, suggesting territorial behavior. The witness now believes in the existence of Bigfoot or a similar creature and advises caution when encountering unusual occurrences in the woods.

      The witness described an encounter with a large, unidentified creature in the woods that destroyed his tent and sleeping bag while leaving the other camper's belongings untouched. The creature displayed signs of intelligence and territorial behavior, leaving the witness feeling both relieved and shaken. Despite initially dismissing such stories, the witness now believes in the existence of Bigfoot or a similar creature based on his personal experience. He advises anyone who encounters something unusual in the woods to observe and not interfere to ensure their safety.

    • A terrifying encounter with an unknown entity in the wildBe aware of surroundings and potential risks while camping in the wild, as encounters with nocturnal animals can be dangerous.

      The individuals in this situation encountered a potentially dangerous situation in the wild, and their experience involved an intentional act by an intelligent entity. The speaker was terrified and felt the need to make light of the situation to cope. They shared a tent with a fellow camper that night due to safety concerns and heard strange noises, which they believed were the entity observing them. The entity seemed to have observed their camp before destroying it, and the individuals were able to leave the next day without further incident. The entity's ability to see in the dark and observe their camp suggests that it is a nocturnal animal. Overall, this experience highlights the importance of being aware of one's surroundings and the potential risks that come with camping in the wild.

    • Discovering strange noises and entities in the forest at nightNavigating at night without proper lighting makes it difficult to see beyond a few feet and can lead to destructive encounters with unknown entities, potentially resulting in the loss of historical structures.

      Navigating through the forest at night without proper lighting is extremely difficult, making it nearly impossible to see anything beyond a few feet. This was evident during a camping trip where the group encountered strange howling noises and a destructive entity. The first night, nothing happened, but on the second night, they discovered a structure that was later destroyed. It's unclear if the entity saw the group on the first night or if their presence provoked it. Regardless, the group's decision to destroy a potentially historical structure led to negative consequences. The speaker expressed fascination with discovering historical artifacts in the forest, making the destruction of the structure all the more regrettable.

    • Encounter with a Curious BigfootWitnessed a Bigfoot bringing flowers as a peace offering, showing intelligence and curiosity. The creature had a conical head, mid-length black hair, and a less shaggy appearance. The encounter left a profound impact on the witness, changing their beliefs about Bigfoot's existence.

      The witness described an encounter with what they believed to be a Bigfoot, which resulted in the creature bringing flowers back to the campsite as a peace offering. This encounter showed the intelligence and curiosity of the creature, as it seemed to have an agenda and waited for the campers to leave before returning. The flowers were different from those left by the campers, suggesting that they came from a different location. The witness described the creature as having a conical head, mid-length black hair, and a less shaggy appearance than commonly depicted. The encounter left a profound impact on the witness, changing their outlook on the existence of Bigfoot. Additionally, the witness noted that they had come across what could have been an old Native American hut in the area, but it was relatively new and not old as initially assumed.

    • Encounter with a Large, Male BigfootWitnessed a 7-8 ft tall, muscular, bipedal creature with quick movements, leaving only sounds behind, emphasizing the unknown and mysterious nature of Bigfoot encounters.

      The witness described an encounter with a large, bipedal creature, resembling the Patty Gimlin film in structure and movement, but distinctly male. The creature was approximately 7-8 feet tall with a broad shoulder width and a muscular build. It moved with a forward lean and quick gait, leaving the witness feeling uncomfortable and wild. The creature's speed was described as faster than a human could move, leaving only the sound of cracking sticks behind. Despite its size, the creature was not easily visible in the camp, only showing its contours and muscle definition. The witness emphasized that these encounters are usually unexpected and not planned, making the experience all the more unsettling. The creature's movements suggested an unseen strength and speed, leaving the witness with a sense of awe and unease. The encounter left a lasting impression on the witness, emphasizing the unknown and mysterious nature of these creatures.

    • Description of a large, powerful predatorA large, powerful predator with a broad chest, wide thighs, and aggressive behavior was described, likely a hunter that ambushes its prey and protects its young.

      Based on the eyewitness account, the creature was described as having a broad, yet tapered chest, similar to a professional bodybuilder, with thighs much wider than a 32-waist. Its diet, consisting of fresh meat and plants, suggests that it is likely a hunter that ambushes its prey. Despite its size and intimidating presence, there were no identifiable prints left behind. The creature's behavior, including false charges and aggression towards intruders, suggests that it may be protective of its young. Overall, the description and behavior of the creature aligns with that of a large, powerful predator that hunts in the wild.

    • Sasquatch as Ambush Predators and Territorial BeingsSasquatch may live in groups, hunt in ambush, and have specific territories. They could cover large areas for hunting and form multiple tribes for mating.

      Sasquatch, or Bigfoot, are believed to be ambush predators that hunt in groups, potentially living in specific territories. This was discussed in relation to a personal encounter and the possibility of it involving the same group as another witness. It was suggested that these creatures might cover large areas for hunting and could form multiple tribes for mating purposes. The discussion also touched upon the potential size of the Sasquatch population and the possibility of encounters with white Sasquatch in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The speakers also shared their skepticism towards search engines like Google and their preference for alternative search engines.

    • Possible existence of albino Bigfoot in Ohio and PennsylvaniaReports of white Bigfoot-like creatures in Ohio and Pennsylvania may be due to an undiscovered ape species exhibiting behaviors similar to apes, possibly due to inbreeding within small populations. Theories suggest they may be related to other legendary creatures.

      There have been numerous reports of sightings of white Bigfoot-like creatures in eastern Ohio and Pennsylvania for many years. A possible explanation for the existence of albino Bigfoot could be due to inbreeding within small populations. The speaker believes that these creatures are likely an undiscovered ape species, as they exhibit behaviors similar to apes. Theories suggest that these creatures may be related to other legendary creatures from different regions, such as the Yowie in Australia and the Yeti in the Himalayas. The speaker posits that these creatures have evolved differently based on their environments. Despite the lack of physical evidence, the belief in the existence of these creatures persists, and theorizing about their origins remains a popular pastime.

    • Personal experiences with the Yowie and other supernatural beingsSome people believe in the existence of supernatural beings that adapt to their environments, based on personal accounts of unexplained experiences.

      The Yowie, like other mythical creatures, are believed to be part of a larger genetic family but adapt to their specific environments. The speaker shares his personal experiences with strange occurrences, including an encounter with a Hatman at his childhood home in Southwest Washington. As a kid, he had an imaginary friend named Marcus and was afraid to sleep upstairs due to unexplained experiences. Later, when he stayed at his parents' house as a teenager, he saw a shadowy figure wearing a bolo derby hat at the end of the hallway. The figure stood still and then disappeared, leaving the speaker feeling trapped and scared. These experiences continued even into adulthood, with the speaker feeling watched in his old room. Overall, these encounters highlight the belief that there may be supernatural beings that exist and adapt to their unique environments.

    • Childhood home filled with paranormal occurrencesSpeaker experienced unexplained phenomena in childhood home possibly linked to its history

      The speaker experienced inexplicable paranormal occurrences in her childhood home, which continued into her adulthood. These experiences included feeling watched, seeing a small shadow figure, and experiencing unexplained changes in the TV. The occurrences seemed to be connected to the history of the house, which was built for a small family and had a strange smell that disappeared after the speaker's birth. The figure, who may have been the builder of the house, appeared to check on the speaker when she visited as an adult. Despite the lack of a definitive explanation, the speaker cannot deny the reality of these experiences.

    • Strange occurrences in a new home may be influenced by past experiences or paranormal activityExperiencing unexplained phenomena in a new home could be due to various factors such as past experiences, paranormal activity, or residual energy from previous owners.

      The experiences shared by the speaker and his wife could be explained by various factors, including the presence of paranormal activity or the influence of their late relative's belongings. The speaker's late encounter with a ghostly figure in his childhood home may have transferred to their new residence, where they both continue to experience strange occurrences. The sighting of a moving cup and the feeling of being watched are shared experiences that suggest a supernatural presence. Additionally, the speaker's wife's late mother's interest in tarot and spells may have left residual energy in their home, contributing to the paranormal activity. It's important to consider multiple explanations when dealing with unexplained phenomena and not jump to conclusions.

    • Respecting Personal ExperiencesPersonal experiences, whether paranormal or imaginary, should be taken seriously and not dismissed. They are real to the individual and deserve respect and understanding.

      Personal experiences, whether they involve paranormal phenomena or imaginary friends, should be taken seriously and not dismissed as mere figments of the imagination. The speaker in this conversation shared their experiences with feeling watched at work and having an imaginary friend named Marcus. They emphasized that these experiences were real to them and should not be easily explained away. The speaker also mentioned their skepticism towards the common explanation of imaginary friends and encouraged a more open-minded approach to understanding such experiences. Overall, this conversation highlights the importance of respecting and validating personal experiences, even if they seem unusual or unexplainable.

    Introducing: Free The Rabbits

    Introducing: Free The Rabbits
    How deep down the rabbit hole have you gone? Do you currently reside there? If so, it's time to touch grass and get your tail out of the hole!

    “Free The Rabbits” is a new podcast by Joel Thomas that explores the conspiratorial world without getting lost in the proverbial rabbit hole. It's easy to attribute negative causes and effects to events that don't make sense around us. While sometimes there might be a valid case for such machinations, there's just as likely a simple explanation. Joel Thomas doesn’t shy away from the weird, supernatural, and paranormal, but he offers a unique perspective on conspiracies. He acknowledges that theories are just that—possibilities, not provable facts.

    RELOADED | 381: Knock Knock Knock
    In Episode 381: Knock Knock Knock, we are joined by Travis, who did not experience anything paranormal in his life until he was around 20 years old, when he had a terrifying hatman encounter. The hatman Travis witnessed was different than many of the descriptions we’ve heard before, because the hatman wasn't alone. When Travis saw him, he was accompanied by a little girl to whom he was feeding a dead crow. Later in the episode, as we recap Travis’ experiences, some strange activity on the line leaves us feeling like the hatman was listening and interacting with us live in the moment!

    659: The Beast Of Bray Road

    659: The Beast Of Bray Road
    In episode 659: The Beast Of Bray Road, Lee Hample's encounters with the Beast of Bray Road and the mysterious phenomena on his property read like a supernatural thriller. He has amassed thousands of pieces of evidence, including pictures of the creature, eerie black and white mists, and even a UFO with an otherworldly being inside. Lee has also experienced multiple instances of missing time, deepening the mysterious lore. He firmly believes in the existence of portals and multiverses, supported by scientific theories and his own photographs of portals and translucent figures. The strange happenings are not isolated to his land; neighbors around Bray Road have also reported similar sightings and experiences, suggesting a peculiar connection to this area. Lee ponders the possibility that these phenomena may be interdimensional or tied to advanced technology beyond our current comprehension. Eyewitness testimonies lend further credibility to his claims, as does the presence of orbs and the peculiar hitchhiker effect. Lee's experiences open a window into a world of advanced technology and interdimensional entities, challenging our understanding of reality and hinting at forces far beyond human knowledge.
