Sure seems to doesnt it?

Nathaniel writes "I've been listening to your podcast for about five years now, and over that time I've had multiple encounters that I've never really known what to make of. Recently I listened to Episode 769 with the wildlife biologist, and the way he described some of his experiences was almost exactly what I've seen. I'm also currently in school to become a wildlife biologist myself, so hearing that episode finally convinced me to reach out and share a couple of my experiences. I have several others, but there are two that stand out above the rest. If you're interested, I'd be happy to share the others another time. I've spent my entire life hunting and fishing, and I'm currently going into my junior year of college here in Kentucky. During deer season I'm usually in the woods four or five days a week after classes, hunting a large Wildlife Management Area (WMA) surrounding a nearby lake. I'm primarily a bowhunter, and at the time I never carried a firearm because, realistically, this is Kentucky we don't have many large predators that would make me feel like I needed one. My first encounter happened in late November of 2024, around the end of Kentucky's gun season. I got to the woods around 2:00 p.m., and it took me roughly an hour to hike into my spot. It was about a mile back through some extremely thick, nasty terrain, which is exactly why I hunt there it keeps me away from other hunters. After pushing through about 12 acres of dense cedar thicket, I reached the entrance to a deep holler. I climbed about 20 feet up into my climber stand and had only been sitting for around 10 minutes when I realized everything had gone completely silent. There were no birds, no squirrels, no movement nothing. The woods just seemed dead. A few moments later I heard two distinct wood knocks off to my front left. I thought it was strange, but I brushed it off. Then, two or three minutes later, I noticed what looked like a bipedal figure walking through the woods roughly 100 yards away. My first thought was that it was another hunter or maybe a hiker, since I was on public land. I looked away for just a second to scan the rest of the woods, and when I looked back, the figure was gone. In its place was what I can only describe as an enormous, jet-black wolf or something that looked like one. I've seen plenty of coyotes over the years, and through school and visits to zoos I've seen wolves as well. This wasn't either of those. It was significantly larger than any coyote I've ever seen, and something about its proportions just looked wrong. The shape of its head, the size of it, and the way it carried itself immediately stood out to me. It was only about 50 yards away, so I could see it clearly. The eyes were unusually large and locked directly onto me the entire time. It never looked away. It was crouched low, almost like a canine stalking prey, and it slowly moved from my left to my right, heading toward the cedar thicket. The entire time it stayed on all fours. Then it walked into the cedars…and simply disappeared. I don't mean it ran off or I lost sight of it because of distance. It was just gone. At that point I decided I was done for the day. I called my parents to let them know I was heading out, climbed down as quickly as I could, and started making my way back toward the truck. As I climbed about halfway up the ridge, I stopped for a moment to look around and get a better view of my surroundings. That's when I heard something I'll never forget. The best way I can describe it is a cross between a woman's scream and a howl, but much deeper than either. It was unlike anything I've ever heard before, and I've spent my entire life outdoors. The sound immediately put me into full panic mode. I took off running and didn't stop until I got back to my truck. A hike that had taken me about an hour going in took me roughly 30 minutes coming out. I didn't return to the woods for the rest of that deer season. I've had several other experiences since then, with one in particular being much more significant. It involved being followed while leaving the woods and seeing what many people describe as "orbs" in that same area. I know this is a lot to read, and I realize it sounds unbelievable. These aren't exactly Sasquatch encounters, but after hearing Episode 769 I felt like I should finally reach out. If you're interested, I'd be glad to tell you about the rest of what I've experienced." Listen to the Podcast

It was theorized it crawled. It’s just much harder for soft soled critters to be tracked. I have been on Bear trails that were completely matted down. But not any individual bear tracks that could be observed. And then there is the whole intelligence thing. If Homo Naledi was burying its dead? And Homo Erectus was tracking an animal to exhaustion? Surely Sasquatch understands it’s leaving tracks. The ones we find either cannot be helped or it didn’t care if we found them. Not saying Sasquatch is inventing the longer lasting light bulb. But it’s gonna be on a whole other level than say a Bear. And Bears crawl and roll around as well. Just because they can. Not because they are not wanting to leave tracks. But Elk are gonna leave hoof tracks when they stand up out of a bedded position. Just a much smaller foot print per animal size and very hard. Which makes them and all ungulates much easier to track. IMHO.

Were there obvious Bigfoot footprints in the area? How did bigfoot get there? slide or crawl for instance. I might be blinded by my expectations but I would expect Bigfoot footprints provided there is soil which allowed other footprints

It certainly is. Well said.

Conventional wisdom is that Paranthropus was small. But the trackway find throws that older hypothesis into doubt.

It’s amazing to think that 80s - 90s era camcorders took much worse footage than a 16mm camera in the late 60s.

I was under the impression that the book was closed on this terrible footage long ago. What I mean is mostly likely human, but not discernible because of the awful quality. Apparent removal of the head of the costume doesn't help.

This is intriguing, would also like to know the source of the urban sighting. I'm a geography nerd, so I read up a little and studied some maps. Learned something new, didn't know about the cave systems: https://commonplacefacts.com/2025/09/13/kansas-city-caves-underground-city/#viii-kansas-citys-subterranean-legacy There are many creeks and likely greenways feeding the larger rivers. There are many manmade parks and conservation areas in and around the suburbs. That sighting has no proximity to such areas, but a couple of clues might help to explain. Description of a gray animal might indicate aging, and there are the typical suburban cluster of fast food spots nearby. Dumpster diving is a known behavior, and they seem to be fairly bold in search of food.

Perhaps. But if you look at the maps, the vast majority of the area around there is open and/or farmland. Not a lot of places to hide out. There is forest in south central, southeast, and southern Missouri, but enough water sources in those areas to keep them there. Not saying it did not happen, just trying to understand why they might be there in the first place.

Yeah, I'd question the extinction of giant squid unless it somehow involved microparticulate plastics or so!e such innovation. Heck think of the numbers of sperm whales the giant squid population used to feed prior to the advent of whaling! And then centuries with their main predator effectively absent, allowing their numbers to go unchecked. There should be vast herds(?) Inkings(?) of giant squid in every ocean! In regards to photography in so hostile an environment, it will prove futile until we conjure the irresistible attractor and somehow construct a device that allows far more adroit pursuit, keeping up with their evasions. In a sense the same holds true with sasquatch....finding the irresistible draw, something that entrances their curiosity or desire to the point it outweighs their caution. It could be as "simple" as a specific tone or frequency of light, perhaps a combination of the two like some cuttlefish radio presenting pulsing flows of colors synched to a groove of the sasquatch tones. But once that's figured out and pictures are had, it will never relegate them to just another animal In the woods, unless we view ourselves as such as well. Fwiw, the ideal plural form of Bigfoot is unquestionably sasquatchezez....thought you'd like to know....lol

Xspider1 its going to have to be a pretty extreme and extensive mutation for an individual to be deemed a unique species. The mutations would have have to be extensive enough to disguise the markers used to differentiate the original species, and I have hard time envisioning that occurring in anything but like bacteria, or fruit flies at best with their four chromasomes...maybe.... I'd think most mutations that would cause drastic morphological changes will prove lethal from the get go or shortly there after, unless, of course its the result of direct genetic manipulation recombining the genes of disparate species in a plotted out effort, but even then the original species involved could be identified. Were it by just a single inheritable trait that sasquatch is set apart from modern humans then it might well be attributed to an aberrant mutation, but there's clearly more involved in the differentiation between us.

Are they perhaps venturing closer in search of water? Or are there more remote sources they could avail themselves of? I was just thinking in light of this years heat they might be pressed for water.

Its funny how this video portrays the very opposite of the other, with a group of H.erectus in the vicinity of a lone Paranthropus as opposed to the group of Paranthropus prints and the prints of a lone H.erectus. its of note that this video states Paranthropus as a much shorter figure in comparison to H.e. while the other video derives a much taller stature for Paranthropus from the stride length of the trackway.. Trogluddite..I'd guess the voice over is indeed AI for not only did it refer to Paranthropus robustus as a subspecies of Paranthropus when Paranthropus is in fact the genus name, so robustus is a species name, it also referred to Louis B Leakey as "Loo-ee" Leakey rather than "Loo-is" Leakey which seems like a typical AI "reading error" An interesting video as well! Thanks for posting it!

Well, that's interesting and does open up some potentials. If the track ways are indicating a larger size, do they also imply the degree of "upright-ness"? And how would this impact their capacity for longer distance mobility. Is it possible they or some member of Paranthropus were able to take part in the ongoing exodus from Africa along with other hominids of the time, such as erectus? If this occurred when sea levels had dropped we would have little chance of finding evidence of such range expansions, but if H.erectus was on the move, whats to say Paranthropus wouldn't as well, perhaps even following or joining H.e for increased safety and foraging.its a stretch to be sure, but it does illustrate potential pathways for the simultaneous expansion of multiple species outside of Africa, which could then result in multiple derived forms further out rather than just our own hominid line.

Well one would expect there to be considerable commonalities with modern human DNA, at least more than seen with chimps or orangs, but I'd think there would also be outlier components absent for our own. Just how consistent these might be from sample to sample could hinge on any number of possible factors, but its possible there might be notable clusters of aberrant chains not seen in modern humans or with the prominence as seen in the samples, if that makes any sense. Presuming the premise of the Pleistocene mega fauna hominid proves out, it would be possible to determine the point(s) of divergence from a shared line just as they do for any genetics based taxonomic research. Though I have no idea what the cost of such analysis runs, much less that for multiple samples. But were that to be undertaken we might well discover a different verse field of various forms created through the waves of migration as determined by the shifting phases of glaciation and resultant sea levels. Or maybe it would be seen that most of those existing today are all derived from a relatively small number of survivors that made it through the antigen bottleneck that may have arose with the arrival of the Europeans and their diseases which could have easily reduced sasquatch populations like they did those of the indigenous peoples, thereby greatly diminishing genetic diversity amongst them. Who knows what might be learned from such pursuits?

In the late 70’s, tonight’s guest, Virgil Berry, was living near the Columbia River, in Oregon, when he had an experience he’ll never forget. You see, Virgil was an avid fisherman, back then, and one day he had decided to go fishing at a nearby creek, with his friend, Johnny, at a runoff for the Columbia River, close to where he lived. After Virgil and Johnny arrived at the fishing spot they’d chosen, they fished for a while. All of a sudden, Virgil noticed that Johnny was staring, intently, off to his left. Curious to see what had captured Johnny’s attention, Virgil shifted his gaze in the direction Johnny was looking and couldn’t believe his eyes...

How far did the big male carrying Albert Ostman go the night he made off with poor Albert? He mentioned a number of ups and downs through mountains but I don't recall how many nor for how long. But it did take him considerable time returning to that settlement/logging camp. That would give at least some indication of their potential range. These fires are simply horrific, with all the habitat getting destroyed in times already plagued with climatic stresses. Oddly enough, no major fires have occurred here in southern California so far this year, though we've have a rather mild summer. However there have been a few moist years lately so the San Gabriel mountains(the range behind my house) are getting covered with progressively more and more fuel for when it does burn. Its always a double edged sword, in that more rain keeps the hillsides greener for longer, it also results in further accumulation of fuels

Yes. But no elk hoof tracks in the cast area. So did it levitate out of its bed? The last act of a bedded elk getting up is standing on its hooves, right? Ive posted video of elk in the act of getting up before. So we should guard against blanket statements like this or the Jacobs creature was a bear because bear cubs where recently in the bait stand. My own personal experience is that I get a wide variety of species into my bait stand when i was doing it. And something with padded feet like a bear or a Bigfoot is harder to track.

I won't trust my memory on this one. I seem to remember hearing/ reading Elk tracks were all around and hair identified turned out to be Elk. That doesn't mean Bigfoot couldn't sit down in a muddy area where elk also happen to be. I just seem to remember hearing or reading this. Maybe someone will chime in. I still say many normal things -poorly understood- cause us to jump to conclusions. We need to guard against that.
