  1. 50 Years With Bigfoot

    9H AGO

    50 Years With Bigfoot

    In 1947, a Tennessee farmer named Robert Carter Senior found an injured young creature pinned beneath a fallen tree on his property in Monroe County. What he did next would set in motion one of the most extraordinary and controversial stories in the history of sasquatch research.  He nursed it back to health, named it Fox, and spent the next twenty-five years secretly building a relationship with it before his seven-year-old granddaughter Janice literally ran into the creature one afternoon and had her world turned upside down. Tonight Brian takes a deep dive into the Janice Carter story, the full account of what one woman claims was fifty years of co-existence between her family and a clan of sasquatch on their rural Tennessee farm. From her grandfather's secret act of mercy to the publication of the now-infamous book "50 Years with Bigfoot: Tennessee Chronicles of Co-Existence" in 2002, from the firestorm of controversy that nearly tore the Bigfoot community apart to the heartbreaking account of Fox's death decades later, this episode covers it all. Brian walks through the claims, the characters, the investigations by Jerry Coleman and Russian hominologist Igor Bourtsev, the public falling out between Janice and co-author Mary Green, and the questions that remain unanswered to this day. Whether you come away a believer or a skeptic, this is a story that demands to be heard on its own terms. Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods? We want to hear your story.

  3. The Hitchhiker Effect

    3D AGO

    The Hitchhiker Effect

    Tonight we're stepping away from the deep woods and into something different. Something that's been keeping me up at night for the better part of two years as I've tracked down these accounts. This is a special episode exploring the Hitchhiker Effect — the terrifying phenomenon where people visit locations of high strangeness and something follows them home. We're not talking about a feeling or an overactive imagination. We're talking about shadow figures at the foot of the bed, objects moving on their own, electronics going haywire, and entities that seem to feed on fear and attention for weeks or months before finally letting go. The term was coined by Dr. Colm Kelleher during his years as lead scientist on the Skinwalker Ranch project, but what most people don't realize is that this phenomenon extends far beyond one ranch in Utah.  It's been documented at battlefields, swamps, mountain ridgelines, and remote valleys all across this country for decades.In this episode we cover six accounts spanning from 1978 to 2023. We start in the Uintah Basin with a cattle rancher who encountered a pulsating orange orb on a mesa and spent the next several months living with a shadow entity that terrorized his family and killed one of his horses. From there we head to Chickamauga Battlefield in northwest Georgia, where a veteran paranormal investigator and his team brought something back from one of the bloodiest pieces of ground in American history — something that filled their homes with the smell of decomposition and the sound of agonized moaning. We follow a pair of Oregon newlyweds who stumbled onto what the local Native American community called a spirit road and spent eight months being stalked by a shadow entity in their own apartment. A West Virginia sheriff's deputy walks into a sealed bunker in the Point Pleasant TNT area and encounters an orb containing dark humanoid figures, only to have his six-year-old daughter start seeing what she calls "the blue man" standing in her closet. A Boston documentary crew filming at Hockomock Swamp in the Bridgewater Triangle watches three synchronized orbs rise out of the water and spends the following months dealing with rearranged furniture, phantom knocking, and an intrusive voice whispering "come back." And finally, a podcaster and paranormal researcher visits the San Luis Valley in Colorado and learns the hard way that studying these phenomena from a safe distance is an illusion — because the distance can collapse at any moment. Six witnesses. Six decades. Six locations from coast to coast. All connected by a pattern so consistent it'll make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. They visited a place. They were noticed. And something came home with them.This is one of the most unsettling episodes we've ever produced. Settle in and keep the lights on.

  5. BWBS Ep:191 Dogmen In The LBL

    BWBS Ep:191 Dogmen In The LBL

    In this episode, we share a listener's account that's been buried for over forty years. Sarah from Bowling Green, Kentucky reached out to us after listening to the show, and what she had to say stopped us in our tracks. In the fall of 1982, Sarah was just eight years old when her family — mom, dad, older brother, and their German Shepherd, Bear — packed up and headed deep into Land Between the Lakes for a weekend camping trip. What started as a perfect Friday night around the campfire turned into something none of them were prepared for.By Friday night, strange howls unlike anything the family had ever heard began echoing through the woods from multiple directions. Something large was circling their camp on two legs. Bear, their loyal protector, charged into the darkness after whatever was out there and never came back. Against her mother's wishes, Sarah's father made the decision to stay one more night. That decision nearly cost them everything. On Saturday night, the creatures came in close. Multiple massive, upright beings — standing over seven feet tall with canine features, glowing amber eyes, and an intelligence that no ordinary animal possesses — stepped to the edge of the firelight and began closing in on the family. Just when it seemed like there was no way out, a deafening vocalization erupted from a nearby ridge. Something Sarah now believes was strikingly similar to the famous Ohio Howl Sasquatch recording from the 1990s.  Whatever made that sound sent the creatures running, and the family was able to pack up and escape in the middle of the night.Sarah's story touches on the long and disturbing history of encounters at Land Between the Lakes, the lasting trauma these experiences leave on families, and the possibility that something else — something even more powerful than the creatures that terrorized them — may have stepped in to save their lives. This is a raw, emotional, deeply personal account from a woman who's done keeping quiet. She wants people to know what's out there, and she wants them to be careful. This one's going to stay with you. Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

    BWBS Ep:190 What Came Out of My Inbox

    Tonight's episode is something different. Over the past several months, Brian's inbox has been filling up with emails from listeners and first-time visitors to the show, people who've been holding onto experiences they've never fully shared with anyone. This episode brings six of those accounts together in one sitting, read in the witnesses' own words, spanning six decades and six different regions of the country. The collection opens with Danny, a lifelong hunter on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, who in 1978 came face to face with something standing motionless in the old growth timber during a solo elk hunt. From there we move to the swamps and spring runs of central Florida, where Rachel and her boyfriend encountered something massive outside their tent during an overnight canoe trip through the Ocala National Forest in 1996, and then saw it again on the river as they tried to escape. Marcus takes us to the coal country of Mingo County, West Virginia, where a nineteen year old walking home from the mines on a frozen February night in 1983 realized that something on the hillside above him wasn't just following him but was flanking him in the dark. Linda's account pulls us north to Minnesota's Boundary Waters in 2004, where a veteran wilderness guide and her co-guide watched something wade across open water in the moonlight and come ashore on the small island where their clients were sleeping. Travis writes from the Piney Woods of East Texas, where something took up residence on his forty acre property in 2017 and made its presence known through broken trees, massive tracks in creek mud, disturbing vocalizations, and two visual encounters that changed the way he and his wife think about the land they live on. The episode closes with Gene, now eighty four years old, finally putting into writing what happened to him and his logging crew in the remote mountains of Siskiyou County, California in the summer of 1962, an experience he's carried in silence for over six decades.
