    Something Stepped Out

    Something Stepped Out At 4:00 AM in Dundalk, Ontario, Canada, my guest Chelsea woke up with an overwhelming feeling that she needed to look outside. What she witnessed through her bedroom window has stayed with her ever since. A strange glowing orb was moving through the trees—rising, dropping, and zipping through the darkness. Then it moved toward the creek. As Chelsea watched, the light appeared to transform into something resembling a portal…and then something stepped out. What emerged from that light? Chelsea still doesn't know. In this episode of The Cryptid Podcast, she shares her firsthand account of a bizarre encounter involving strange lights, an apparent portal, and an unidentified figure that appeared to emerge from it.

    Those Eyes Were Too High

    Those Eyes Were Too High What happens when you're alone on a dark forest trail…and realize the eyes watching you are far too high off the ground? Paul, founder of the Western Ohio Bigfoot Research Group, joins Dano on The Cryptid Podcast to share some of the incredible Bigfoot encounters he has personally experienced and investigated throughout Ohio. During one chilling encounter, Paul became turned around while walking a forest path at night. As he searched the darkness with his flashlight, he suddenly stopped—staring back at him from a large patch of bushes were two large, glowing orange eyes positioned frighteningly high off the ground. And that's only one of the stories Paul brings to the show. We dive into his personal encounters, investigations, eyewitness reports, and the unexplained activity that has fueled his search for answers. What was watching Paul from those bushes…and why were those eyes so high?.

    It CHARGED Toward Our Truck

    It CHARGED Toward Our Truck What was that thing running through the California countryside? While riding home from summer camp in the back of her dad’s pickup truck with her younger brother, my guest Heather looked toward an open field beside the road—and saw something she has never forgotten. A massive, unidentified creature was running on all fours through the field toward their truck, appearing like a bizarre cross between a Bigfoot and a werewolf. What Heather witnessed that day left her with questions that remain unanswered. In this episode of The Cryptid Podcast, Heather takes us back to that frightening California encounter and reveals more details about the creature, what she saw as it charged toward them, and the experience that has stayed with her ever since. Was it Bigfoot, a Dogman, something werewolf-like... or something else entirely?

    What Was it Really Like Filming MonsterQuest

    What Was it Really Like Filming MonsterQuest Dano sits down with former guest Taylor Thompson (Ep. 56) for a behind-the-scenes conversation about their experiences appearing on Season 5 of MonsterQuest.

    She Saved Me…TWICE

    She Saved Me…TWICE What if everything you thought you knew about Bigfoot was wrong? In this unforgettable episode of The Cryptid Podcast, my guest Ray from Kentucky shares one of the most extraordinary Sasquatch encounters I've ever heard. As a young boy, Ray was thrown from his horse into a tangled briar patch, frightened and unable to escape. That's when an enormous female Bigfoot approached him—not to harm him, but to help him. Ray describes how she reached down and attempted to cradle him to safety, leaving him with a memory that has stayed with him for the rest of his life. But that's only the beginning. Ray also shares another life-changing event from his childhood when he nearly drowned. Looking back years later, he believes it may have been the very same female Sasquatch that intervened and saved his life once again. Could one mysterious creature have been watching over him all along? As if that weren't enough, Ray reveals additional encounters from his younger years that have only strengthened his belief that these elusive beings are far more intelligent—and far more compassionate—than most people could ever imagine. Is this one of the most remarkable Bigfoot encounters ever told? Watch, listen, and decide for yourself. If you're fascinated by Bigfoot encounters, Sasquatch evidence, unexplained wilderness phenomena, and real eyewitness testimony, you won't want to miss this episode.
