We are working on that currently.

Here's a bonus encounter from Texas to celebrate (unless you're in Mexico) the 190th anniversary of the Republic of Texas. This first story is from the Junction City (KS) Daily Union on June 1, 1887. Unfortunately, the more fulsome description given earlier by the San Antonio (TX) Daily Express on May 17, 1887, tells a different story.

In this episode, we delve into the remarkable experiences of Tom Sewid, a First Nations man from Northern Vancouver Island who now lives in Forks, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula. Growing up immersed in Indigenous traditions where Sasquatch is understood as part of the land and culture, Thomas shares a lifetime of encounters that began in his youth and continued through decades spent guiding, fishing, and living deep in the bush. From coastal shellfish beaches of Vancouver Island to remote river systems and logging country near Forks, Thomas recounts close-range sightings, thermal captures, gifting interactions, and moments that brought him face to face with these beings at startling distances. He also discusses the development of his upcoming Sasquatch museum, rare cast acquisitions, and the cultural regalia connected to his tribe’s highest-ranking crest. Throughout the conversation, Thomas offers insight into territorial patterns, population estimates tied to salmon rivers, and the importance of respect when entering these environments. His perspective bridges lived wilderness experience with Indigenous knowledge passed down through generations. Join us as we explore Thomas’s powerful journey across Vancouver Island and the Pacific Northwest, where Sasquatch is not a legend of the past, but an ongoing presence woven into the land itself.

Bigfoot!: Camp, Conspiracies, and a Surprisingly Sharp Political Satire Times Square ChroniclesView the full article

Checking the math, using Google Earth and the time & date website. My measurement from witness to target was 1500 feet (500 yards, or just over 4 football fields away when you include the end zones). There is a slight elevation advantage for the witnesses of about 4 feet, plus some more if they were elevated in a pick-up truck. They left themselves some wiggle room by saying it was between 5:00 and 5:30 PM; given that the encounter was only 15 seconds, I'm surprised no one looked at their cell phone or the dashboard clock to get an exact time. Civil twilight was 6:18 near Silo, OK, on the date of the encounter. Civil twilight is when the sun sets; there's still some usable daylight left even after civil twilight. The witness's statement is self-contradictory - first she (based on her reporting that her husband had a separate encounter) says that the "Bigfoot" was walking when first seen. Then she says the "Bigfoot" stopped but doesn't say anything about the "Bigfoot" crouching or laying down for concealment. Then she says the "Bigfoot" got up and continued walking. The Guinness Book of World Records states that the normal (intelligible) outdoor range of the male human voice in still air is 590 feet, 6.6 inches. This woman was screaming at a "Bigfoot" almost three times that distance away, with a slight wind. It seems unlikely that her shouting attracted the "Bigfoot's" attention. Perhaps the human odor or the vehicle engine alerted whatever it was. The witness says that it was "a little windy;" the investigator interprets this as "very windy." The line of sight to the target does seem fairly open - apparently, Oklahoma is not lush and verdant everywhere. But like you, I am less sanguine about accepting the veracity of such a long distance sighting. Anyone who is a passenger in a vehicle on an Interstate can test this a little bit. Watch for the 1/10 of a mile road signs (in most states, they're small rectangles). When you see a #.8 mile marker, guess at the height of an object up the road a bit. (There's probably an easier way to find a place where you can see a 1/4 mile over relatively flat land to get a feel for the distance, I just can't come up with it right now.)

On Bigfoot and Beyond, Cliff and Bobo recently talked to the woman who runs the Bigfoot Data Project. She is apparently looking at as much data on claimed Bigfoot encounters as she can from a very stringent scientific viewpoint. So when evaluating height, she had her minions (or minion) do research on how fear or apprehension affects the estimation of height - no surprise, the more afraid you are the bigger something looks. I'm not going to try to recap what she said beyond that, but it was a good episode, probably within the last 50 or so.

Tonight, we'll be talking with Arkey from Kansas, who experienced several encounters with these creatures during the 1980s. He'll also share details about a much more recent incident, when he was fishing and found himself roughly 70 feet away from one of these beings, describing a very unusual interaction. We'll also hear from Will, also from Kansas, who witnessed one of these creatures cross directly in front of his vehicle. Just before that sighting, he recalls noticing something strange moving in the sky. Listen to the Podcast

If I had a dollar for every person that said that black tailed deer stood about five feet tall and weighed three-fifty or that a coyote was about four feet tall and about seventy pounds, I would be rich. Deer and coyotes are not as high nor weigh as much, as people imagine them to be. The same could happen in the opposite. People under estimating them. People are surprised to find out a wild turkey can weigh as much as 30 pounds or that a golden eagle weighs as little 6 to 15 pounds. informed, experienced perception is important.

This interesting TV special aired in Sacramento, California in 1975; I found it on YouTube at

I just came across this BFRO report: https://www.bfro.net/gdb/show_report.asp?id=79845 Short story shorter: 3 witnesses reported seeing a Bigfoot in Oklahoma walking off a powerline easement from more than 1,500 feet away. I'm not a field researcher but 1,500 feet away, across a river, windy conditions, late afternoon, and down a powerline cut area do not seem like good conditions for clear observation. Any researchers on here who are comfortable with BFRO referring to this as a "Triple A" sighting? If so, why? I'm not challenging what the witnesses reported seeing. I just think from an evidence perspective that a Class A designation is a bit ambitious.

I explored the science behind height estimates a while back. Basically there are 3 factors that affect accuracy : 1) The actual height of the target (in this case, a Bigfoot). 2) The height of the witness. This is referred to as the own-anchor effect, where the witness may use their own height as an anchor or benchmark from which to form a judgement on the target’s height. 3) The witness’s knowledge of, or expectations about, the average height of the target’s population. Much of this science comes from research into eye witness testimony, so it's questionable whether we can apply it to Bigfoot reports. The consensus among eye witness researchers seems to be that witnesses typically under-estimate the target's height. I think for Bigfoot reports, #3 above is most critical. The statement "it was 7-8 ft." is so common in reports it's like one of the given letters from Wheel of Future before the contestant even picks their own letters. @Doug touches on what could be a fourth factor specific to Bigfoot height estimates -- the witness's knowledge of and experience with other large animals in the forest. Here's my post on Substack for those interested in a deeper review of the science.

I'm kinda guessing that the creature whose tracks were at the river mud flat may have belonged to the same one peeking in my car windows. The foot and hand prints seem to be of similar sizes. I just can't figure out how it got a print on the top of my windshield without apparently leaving any other marks on the vehicle. It was not parked under big enough trees to allow it to dangle, from above. I don't understand. Another mystery!

That's a pretty truck

Published in The Leaf-Chronicle of Clarksville, Tennessee on July 6, 1906. While the article is short, it sounds like authorities are trying for the easy answer.

On July 20, 1896, the the Sun-Journal of Lewiston (ME) published a lengthy story in its evening edition about Maud Knowlton's encounter with the wild man (the plucky girl story first published here in August of 2025). This story is based only on second-hand accounts, but includes additional information.

We should go camping this summer! 👍

Looks really capable. Are those running boards, or rock sliders under the door sills? My H3 came with what looked like sliders, but were really only cosmetic, as I managed to crush one on the first trail I drove the day after I bought it.

Getting my overlanding/exploring rig more capable. While not nearly as awesome or capable as Norseman's Ram, it can go on some roads that stock pickups might not be able to. Just a leveling kit with 37s, a 13.5k winch, and beefy bumper.

In this special members preview episode, we explore powerful firsthand accounts from three individuals whose experiences stretch across Michigan, Kentucky, and South Carolina. Each witness shares deeply personal encounters that have stayed with them for decades, offering vivid glimpses into moments that changed how they view the woods forever. From the forests near Atlanta in Montmorency County, Michigan, one man reflects on a 1986 mushroom hunting trip that turned into an unforgettable encounter near a quiet creek. What began as a peaceful afternoon quickly became something far more profound, leaving him and his family questioning what they had witnessed. In Kentucky, a childhood turkey hunt along the Nolin River near Bear Creek became a moment that still stands crystal clear in memory. A presence only feet away. A sound that has never been forgotten. A split second that continues to echo years later. And in South Carolina, a lifelong outdoorsman shares experiences that began on his family’s sprawling rural property in the 1970s and followed him into adulthood. A later hunting trip near Interstate 26 in Newberry County would deliver a sighting through a rifle scope that permanently altered his relationship with the outdoors.These accounts are thoughtful, detailed, and grounded in decades of lived experience.

Moose stand 7 to 8 feet tall at the shoulder, are 9 to 10 feet long, weigh 1,200 to 1,800 pounds and where there is a high concentration of them, there are still large amounts of ripe growth available to them and other animals. They run up to 35 miles per hour. Brown bears are 4 to 5 feet tall at the shoulder and 8 to 10 feet tall when standing on their hind legs. They weigh up to 1,500 pounds and can run 35 miles per hour and can kill many moose, caribou, elk and deer in a year. So, I don't find those descriptions of sasquatches ridiculously far fetched, just somewhat exaggerated due to witness perception.

Yup. Some research suggests that Sasquatch are faster and heavier than they look, which is insane because it’s hard to imagine both at the same time. One interest thing I’ve noticed though over the years is that genuine eyewitnesses are often more shocked by how thick the subject is rather than how tall.

Tonight’s guest, D’von Gilpon, was born and raised in France. In the 90’s, when he was around 12 or 13 years old, he moved to Oklahoma, with his mother, after she remarried. Fast forward to the year 2000. One day in the year 2000, D’von had gone on a camping trip with a group of his friends and their families at Lake Arcadia, which is northeast of Oklahoma City. The night they got there, D’von decided to explore the area around the lake, to see what was out there. He was hoping to find something interesting on that walk. It’s a gross understatement to say that he did. We hope you’ll tune in and listen to him chronicle what happened on that walk and what happened when he had his next experience.
