    • Brother's Encounter with an Unidentified Figure in Rural OklahomaA brother's account of an encounter with a human-like figure in rural Oklahoma, described as having a matted appearance and seen near an oil field, sparks debate about the existence of Bigfoot and other cryptids.

      Josh, from Oklahoma, shared an intriguing encounter his brother had with an unidentified figure in their rural area around 4 years ago. The figure was described as human-like, crouching down and standing back up, and having a matted appearance possibly from snow. The brothers initially believed it could have been a Bigfoot due to local Native American lore and the state's history of such sightings. The figure was seen near an oil field, and Josh mentioned that there have been strange sounds on their property since then. Although they initially thought it was a Bigfoot, they now lean towards that consensus, but are unsure of what exactly it could have been. The encounter highlights the intrigue and mystery surrounding unexplained phenomena in rural areas, and the ongoing debate about the existence of Bigfoot and other cryptids.

    • Strange occurrences and potential Bigfoot sightings in rural PennsylvaniaDecades-old reports of Bigfoot sightings, screams, and strange noises in rural Pennsylvania's woods, with some witnesses describing albino creatures

      There are numerous reports of strange occurrences and potential sightings of unidentified creatures, possibly Bigfoot, in rural areas of Pennsylvania and surrounding states. Witnesses have described hearing screams and strange noises, and some have even reported seeing white, albino Bigfoot. These sightings have been happening for decades, with some reports dating back to the 1970s. The vast expanses of woods and private land in these areas make it easy for such creatures to hide, and the secrecy and reluctance of local residents to discuss these incidents may contribute to the ongoing mystery. The possibility of inbreeding among these creatures could also explain the existence of albino individuals. Overall, the stories suggest that there may be something unusual and possibly supernatural roaming the woods of rural Pennsylvania and beyond.

    • Brother's Sasquatch Encounter Describes Large, Athletic CreatureThe size of Sasquatch may vary based on environment and food sources, with larger creatures possibly found in regions with suitable habitats

      The description of the supposed Sasquatch encounter by the speaker's brother painted the creature as athletic and large, but not enormous. The tree they encountered it beside had remained unchanged for years, and the creature's size was estimated to be several feet taller than the speaker himself. The environment and available food source were suggested as possible factors influencing the size and shape of these elusive creatures. The speaker also shared that while some regions, like the Pacific Northwest, are known for larger animals, other areas, such as the flatlands of the Midwest, might offer fewer hiding places. The speaker, who lives in an area with a lot of flat land and forests, believed that these creatures could easily hide and survive there. Despite the lack of significant topography, the vast forests and available food sources could provide a suitable habitat for these elusive beings.

    • Mysterious Encounters Near HomeTwo-year long encounters with unknown figure near home, unusual footprints, and nighttime sounds suggested supernatural activity, not an escaped prisoner.

      The brother's encounter with an unknown figure near their home, which they initially thought could have been an escaped prisoner, turned out to be something else. The event occurred near a highway with a prison, increasing the likelihood of an escaped prisoner. However, the activity continued for two years after the incident, making it less likely that it was an escaped prisoner. Another strange experience the brothers had was hearing fingernail scratching on their window at night. They investigated the next day and found footprints with an unusual pattern near their air conditioner. The footprints looked like they were made by someone standing with their feet together but far apart, which was unusual and added to the mystery of the encounter.

    • Strange footprints and accompanying phenomena leave witness questioning the presence of a large creatureWitness discovered large, toe-less footprints in the grass accompanied by dead grass expansion, mysterious noises, and unusual animal behavior, leading them to believe they encountered an unidentified large creature.

      The discovery of large, footprint-like impressions in the grass, accompanied by strange occurrences such as dead grass expanding beyond the footprint's boundaries and mysterious noises, left the witness questioning the possibility of an encounter with an unidentified large creature. The footprints, measuring around 12 to 13 inches long and 6 inches wide, align with the reported dimensions of Bigfoot prints. However, the lack of toe definition in the impressions led the witness to initially dismiss them as prints. The strange phenomenon of the grass dying around the footprints added to the intrigue. Additionally, the witness reported hearing deep growls that set off coyotes and tree knocking, further fueling their belief in the presence of an unusual entity. Overall, the encounter left the witness with a sense of unexplained events that remained a mystery.

    • Encountering strange noises in the woodsDuring a nighttime exploration, the family heard a large man-like holler and a tree being broken in half, leaving them uneasy and determined to investigate further.

      The speaker and his family went on nighttime expeditions into their woods with flashlights to investigate potential Sasquatch sightings, inspired by shows they had been watching. During one particularly strange night, they heard what sounded like a large man hollering from their eastern property line, followed by the sound of a tree being broken in half. The speaker believed the tree sound was more consistent with an evergreen tree than an oak. Though they assumed it could have been a human making noise, they remained cautious and continued listening. The experience left them feeling uneasy and reinforced their determination to gather as much information as possible about any potential Sasquatch activity on their land.

    • Unexplained occurrences in rural communityWitnesses described strange noises, heavy creature footprints, and a white, hairless creature, leaving them feeling uneasy and uncertain of what they experienced

      The witnesses described unusual and unexplained occurrences in their rural community, including hearing strange noises and possibly encountering unidentified creatures. The first incident involved a large, heavy creature making a thudding sound and leaving distinct footprints, which the witnesses couldn't explain. The second incident involved a white, hairless creature seen during hunting season. The witnesses noted that their community is spread out, with residents having firearms and livestock, which could contribute to the perception of unusual occurrences. The encounters left the witnesses feeling uneasy and unsure of what they had experienced. The descriptions of these incidents align with common reports of Bigfoot or other unknown creatures, but the witnesses acknowledge that skepticism is common and that their experiences may be dismissed as hoaxes.

    • Encounter with a headless, humanoid creatureA hunter encountered a strange, headless, humanoid creature during his hunt that moved silently and passed through the fence without making a sound.

      The hunter had an encounter with an unidentified creature during his hunt. The creature, which sounded like it had multiple legs and moved silently, came from the neighboring property and seemed to be able to pass through the fence without making a sound. When it emerged from the bushes, the hunter was able to see that it had a humanoid shape, with thin, muscular shoulders and a bleach-white, headless body. The creature's eyes were deep set and it had high cheekbones. Despite its aggressive behavior towards the dog, it did not appear to have a mouth or any other distinguishing features. The encounter left the hunter bewildered and unable to explain what he had seen.

    • Encounter with an Unidentified CreatureA witness described an encounter with a creature having sunken eyes, blended eyes and nose, and was silent upon disappearance, leaving us questioning the existence of supernatural entities.

      The witness described an encounter with a creature that had distinct physical features unlike any human or known animal. The creature had sunken eyes that appeared almost black, a compact nose, and the eyes and nose seemed to blend together. The creature did not make any sound when it disappeared. The witness was unable to determine the exact time or date of the encounter, but it was during the fall of 2017 around 8 p.m. The description of the creature did not align with that of a Bigfoot, but rather, it resembled something evil or demonic. The witness's account is intriguing as it describes a physical encounter with an unidentified creature, leaving us questioning what was truly encountered that night. The description of the creature brings to mind other accounts of unusual encounters, such as the goat-horned entity shot by a man, which raises the question of the existence of physical manifestations of supernatural entities.

    • Encountering the unknown: Personal experiences, media, and researchStay open-minded when encountering the unknown, as various sources can influence our perceptions and understanding of mysterious creatures.

      Encounters with mysterious and unexplained creatures can be influenced by various sources, including personal experiences, media, and research. The speaker described an encounter with a pale, humanoid creature with dark eyes, which she initially believed to be a skinwalker or a Wendigo based on her research and experiences with media. However, upon further investigation and encountering similar creatures in media like "Stranger Things" and the video game "Until Dawn," she began to question her initial assumptions and consider the possibility of these creatures having various appearances and characteristics. This highlights the importance of an open-minded approach when encountering the unknown and the potential influence of various sources on our perceptions and understanding of such phenomena.

    • Personal accounts of alleged Illuminati and MK Ultra involvement and Mandalay Bay shooting conspiracy theoriesThe speaker shares a friend's claims of Illuminati and MK Ultra involvement and believes there were multiple shooters during the Mandalay Bay shooting based on distinct gunfire sounds, but the validity of these claims is questionable.

      Inspiration for creative works can come from various sources, including folklore and personal experiences. However, the speaker shares a personal account of encountering alleged information about the Illuminati and MK Ultra mind programming, which he claims was shared by a friend. This friend, named Jake, claimed to have met people involved in these practices and shared stories of mind control and drug use starting from a young age. The speaker also believes there were multiple shooters during the Mandalay Bay shooting incident based on the distinct sounds of gunfire he heard in recordings. He identifies one sound as that of an AK-47 and the other as a different, studier sounding rifle. The speaker, who has a background with guns, believes both weapons were automatic and not fired using bump stocks. The speaker's account raises questions about the validity of these claims and the role of personal experiences and hearsay in shaping beliefs.

    • Possible use of automatic weapon and questions about shooter's accuracySpeculations suggest the shooter may have used an automatic weapon instead of a bump stock and his high accuracy raises questions about the official narrative, requiring further investigation.

      The individual in the shooting incident might have been using an automatic weapon rather than a bump stock due to his continuous firing pattern and the fact that mounted bump stocks are not effective. Additionally, the individual's wealth and gambling habits suggest that this could have been a larger, more complex operation. The accuracy of the shooter's shots, which reportedly had a high percentage of hits, is also questionable and raises suspicions about the official narrative of the incident. However, it's important to note that these are speculations and further research and evidence are needed to confirm these theories.

    • Skepticism about Sandy Hook shooter's capabilitiesSome question the shooter's ability to carry out the massacre due to his size, vest weight, and shooting accuracy, while investigating controversial events can lead to censorship and content destruction.

      The discussion suggests there are doubts about the capabilities of the Sandy Hook shooter based on his size, the weight of a bulletproof vest, and the alleged accuracy of his shooting. The speaker expresses skepticism about his ability to carry out such an act with such precision and maneuverability, especially given his reported background of playing video games and limited physical training. The speaker also shares their personal experience of investigating controversial events and the potential consequences of doing so, including censorship and destruction of online content. Additionally, the speaker mentions their own political leanings and past experience with podcasting and music discovery.

    • Censorship and manipulation in societyThe speaker believes significant changes are needed to reverse censorship and manipulation trends, expresses skepticism towards institutions, and shares personal experiences of inconsistent follower numbers on social media and podcasts.

      Censorship and manipulation are prevalent issues in today's society, and reversing these trends would require significant changes. The speaker's personal experiences with social media platforms and podcast channels have shown inconsistent follower numbers, which they attribute to censorship. They express pessimism about the future of society and believe that a large percentage of people would need to wake up to the manipulation for meaningful change to occur. The speaker also touches on the deep state and its influence on governments and institutions, and mentions the potential for a return of old church structures. They express skepticism towards certain religious figures and share an unexplained encounter with a strange entity in the woods. Overall, the discussion highlights the complexity and ambiguity of the world we live in, with many things remaining unexplained and beyond our grasp.

    • Encountering the Unknown in NatureStay curious and open-minded when encountering the unknown in nature, as it may lead to extraordinary experiences.

      The natural world can be unpredictable and encounters with it can be both ordinary and extraordinary. The speaker has been living with strange noises in the distance for years, which have become a normal part of life. However, during hunting season, these noises escalated and led to an encounter with an unidentified creature. The speaker attempted to shoot the creature with a rifle but was unsuccessful, leading him to question whether it was supernatural or just startled by the sound of the gun. The creature eventually ran off, leaving the speaker with more questions than answers. This experience highlights the importance of staying curious and open-minded when encountering the unknown in nature.

    • Hunting's intense emotions and potential supernatural experiencesMaintain calmness after using a weapon during hunting and respect the power of certain places and potential supernatural entities.

      Hunting can be an intense and emotionally charged experience. The speaker described a moment of frustration and fear after missing a shot at a deer, which left him feeling helpless and shaken. He emphasized the importance of maintaining control and calmness after using a weapon, especially during hunting. The speaker also shared his belief that certain places hold unique and possibly supernatural energies, referencing Native American history and encounters with potentially satanic entities. The speaker's gut feeling and personal experiences led him to distinguish between different forms of magic and energy, with a clear distinction between black and white magic. Overall, the speaker's story highlights the complex emotions and potential supernatural elements that can be present during hunting experiences.

    • Encounters with otherworldly entities in the woodsWitnesses shared unexplained encounters with silent, otherworldly entities in the woods, leaving them feeling fear and a sense of the unknown. More than one entity might be involved, and experiences vary in nature.

      The witnesses described encounters with entities in the woods that left them feeling unexplained fear and a sense of otherworldliness. These entities were described as having no ties to the earth and making no sounds as they disappeared. The witnesses also mentioned that there might be more than one entity involved in these encounters. The experiences were distinct, with one feeling more evil and sinister from the start. The witnesses expressed a desire to share any future encounters and appreciated the platform for discussing their experiences. They found the show through Sasquatch Chronicles and have been avid listeners since. The hosts appreciated the feedback and hoped the show had improved over time. To support the show, listeners were encouraged to leave reviews on iTunes, become patrons on Patreon, and share the show on social media.

    RELOADED | 502: Lost Treasure and Secret Petroglyphs of Virginia
    In Episode 502: Lost Treasure and Secret Petroglyphs of Virginia we are joined by Justin, Lance, and Ryan from the Appalachian Intelligence podcast, who reached out months ago regarding some unusual pictures they had taken in Virginia. Buried in the hills of Virginia, there is a huge rock that Justin, Lance, and Ryan stumbled across, with petroglyphs etched into its face. As they sought out answers to their discovery, the mystery became much deeper. With the information they’ve since been given, they are now joining in on a hunt for the lost treasure of the Swift Silver Mine, which might have a direct connection to their secret petroglyph boulder.

    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

    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.

    Tonight we will be speaking to Matt. Matt writes "Hello Wes, so I had a horrifying experience when I was 14 years old. I live in Youngstown, Ohio. I grew up on the Northside of town in the city. If you look up pics of the old steel mills in town you will get an understanding of what I am talking about.

    So my buddy literally lived across the street from the mills. We would regularly go down there and just investigate the MASSIVE AREA. All but shut down and dilapidated. Well we had certain old buildings that we frequented and one we made into our home base. We spent weeks making walls and strengthening spots so no one could get in and especially the wild dogs that also frequented the area and were especially vicious. They travelled in packs of 6 or more. The building we went to all the time had no stairs so we had to jump up to get in. Made it safer for us. I was right by an active railroad. The other working steel mill near used it to get supplies in and out.

    Fast forward to the summer and we were there one night. We always had guns as this was Youngstown, Ohio in the early 90’s. Murdertown, USA @ that time. Plenty of Bloods and Crypts. We had chosen an old factory building that was huge and we would have massive fires right on the floor of the 1st floor. We erected a wall of these metal U shaped things to give us privacy and safety. If anyone saw us from the railroad they would call the police and security and we would be in trouble.

    Well, we were hanging out and we heard a pack of dogs coming and we thought it sounded like they were chasing something. We went out to see and they ran near us over a huge mound of coke that steel mills use in the steel making process. They ran over and we hear a fight ensuing. Vicious attack going on, all dogs involved. After 6-7 seconds we hear a louder dog above all the others and the beginning screams of the wild dogs started. Then to our shock @ different times wild dogs we’re literally being thrown over the mound in different directions. Finally all the wild dogs run away in the direction they came but as fast as they could possibly run, some limping, some with obvious injuries. We were shocked.

    Then one of my friends screams “WHAT IS THAT?!…LOOK!!” At that moment, I kid you not, A GIANT Wolf like animal the size of which seemed quite honestly fake crawls on all fours to the top of the mound and is looking directly into the area the wild dogs ran, it lifts its leg and subsequently and substantially releases a urine flow that honestly seemed like it was released out of a garden hose. That right there, may sound amusing. It scared the hell out of us because it have the idea of just how large this thing was. My one buddy stumbled backwards into our makeshift wall and it then turns its attention to US. I cannot relay to you the amount of fear we all immediately felt. I feel it even NOW writing this to you. The hairs on my arm are standing up. It had yellowish amber colored eyes that literally glowed like they had a power source behind them. Looking back on it we agreed it was from the light of the huge bonfire that we had made in our home base. It growls next and it was so deep we all felt it. I said out loud that I just felt that in my chest. My 2 buddies said they were all of a sudden light headed and getting sick. I did not feel that as of that moment. But we all were horrified. It then did something so shocking, so alien to the status quo that we immediately felt in danger and ran inside the building and up 2 sets of broken, missing and falling apart concrete stairs up to a third level. We are all very lucky that no one fell to at least a broken bones type fall, maybe worse. It stood up on 2 legs, it’s back legs. They looked like a huge set of dogs legs but the large leg muscles were reminiscent of a body builder. But thicker. And just the look of its massive body was unbelievably impressive & intimidating. My one friend was crying he was so terrified. When we got to the third floor we had to smack and shake him to shut him up as well as cover his mouth until he almost passed out from lack of air.

    We hoped it left. It did not. After what seemed like an hour but only one or two minutes we hear it climb up on the outside and start to enter the building. We first saw the shadow of it which was 10 times as large as the beast. We all froze, no one dared make a sound, we should have dropped down out of sight but we’re so terrified we just stood there staring. It came into the light and we saw everything on the animal. It was at the very least the size of a grizzly bear. Again, the size was so large it was hard to believe that we were not dreaming, that this was real, it was and it was happening 20 feet in front of us. It was growling, sniffing the air and it just automatically looked straight up at us. It knew where we were.

    The whole time. It’s eyes glowing, the thing that stood out to us was it started drooling, but not a little. It was pouring out of its mouth, was it pouring from the idea it was about to eat? To kill us? It could have EASILY! It looked away from us and saw the stairs. We froze again and got a newfound feeling of horror. It was heading to the stairs to come up where we were. We started freaking out and looking around and had only 1 escape, an outside fire staircase going up to the roof. The part to go down had rusted and fell off however long ago. It hopped easily over the 3 steps missing and was instantly up on the 2nd floor. It was walking to the next set of stairs and at that moment we heard the most beautiful sound EVER! A train coming right by the building, slowly too, they had to see the fire because when they were passing the building they let loose the treason horn. And it freaked out the wolf creature. It looked towards the opening of the building and in 2 seconds was out of the building and gone! We all started screaming help which no one heard but also we just were screaming from stress and because we felt we were going to maybe be ok.

    When the train could no longer be heard, the fear set back in and we thought every single sound was the thing coming back in. It did not Thank GOD! We then started to remember we had 3 pistols with us. We all took them out, took the safeties off and started to make our way back down to the second floor, waited 20 minutes and then to the first floor and waited probably an hour before we ventured back outside pointing the guns and flashlights in front of us the whole time. Remember, we didn’t have LED lights in the early 90’s. These were cheap plastic ones that only lit so much. But 4 of them helped light the way. We thought for sure every second we were making our way back to my friends house that it was coming after us.

    We heard the wild dogs from a distance and started running. We ran until we got to my buddies house. Those of us that are still alive, talk about that night everyone time we see or talk on the phone. We will remember that until the day we die. I still am in awe that these things exist. Every time I see or hear a story about someone’s experience with one or more I freeze. I am instantly brought back to that night and I feel true fear again.”
