    SO EP:729 The Sheriff Of Bigfoot Country: Part Four
    Feb 15 2026
    In this episode, Brian continues reading from his upcoming book The Sheriff of Bigfoot Country, picking up with Part Four as the story reaches a turning point that changes everything. The classified Mount St. Helens documents reveal the full scope of Project Vulcan, a secret government operation to recover the bodies of creatures killed in the 1980 eruption. Military teams moved in under the cover of legitimate rescue operations, extracting remains before civilian responders could find them.

    Medical reports describe three survivors, including one creature that lived for nearly three weeks before giving up and dying in a government facility. The autopsy findings are staggering, pointing to a species with cranial capacity far exceeding modern humans and brain structures suggesting complex language and abstract reasoning.

    Four witnesses who were there in 1980 finally break their silence. A county sheriff who watched them load bodies onto helicopters. A helicopter pilot who flew the remains to a facility in Nevada. A trauma surgeon who held the hand of a dying creature she called George. A Forest Service employee who saw a massive hand slip from beneath a tarp. Each one was threatened into silence for forty years. Each one is done carrying that weight.

    The documentary gets picked up by a major streaming platform, and then gets killed two weeks before air when shadowy forces pressure the network into pulling it. Brian and Amanda fight back by releasing everything online, piece by piece, and the response is overwhelming. Millions of views. Hundreds of new witnesses stepping forward. The cover-up begins to crumble.But being sheriff has become impossible. The county commissioners question Brian's sanity. The hate mail piles up alongside letters from grateful witnesses across the country.

    And on a rainy Tuesday night, Daniel suggests something that will change the course of Brian's life: a podcast. That conversation leads to the birth of Sasquatch Odyssey, and the beginning of a new chapter.

    This is where the badge meets a bigger calling, and Brian has to decide which fight matters most.

    Feb 13 2026
    In this episode, Brian welcomes friend of the show Ken Gerhard—renowned cryptozoologist, bestselling author, field researcher, television personality, public speaker, and now host of his own podcast.Ken shares how his childhood fascination with Bigfoot—sparked by firsthand experiences and a steady diet of classic monster movies—set him on a lifelong path into the world of cryptozoology. From Texas to Loch Ness and beyond, he reflects on decades of global expeditions, investigations, and firsthand encounters with some of the world’s most enduring cryptid legends.

    The conversation dives deep into the intersection of science and folklore, exploring the cultural roots of mysterious creatures alongside the biological possibilities that keep researchers searching. Brian and Ken discuss the skepticism that surrounds the field, the importance of disciplined, objective inquiry, and how emerging tools like environmental DNA (eDNA) and artificial intelligence are reshaping modern Bigfoot research.

    Ken also weighs in on the ultimate question: What would actually happen if Sasquatch were proven real? From conservation concerns to media frenzy and scientific upheaval, the implications could be far-reaching.T

    he episode wraps with Ken discussing his latest projects, including his new podcast Cryptid Legacy, recent books, speaking appearances, and an upcoming guided expedition to search for the legendary Loch Ness Monster.

    Feb 11 2026
    The guys from Sasquatch Recon are back.
    And this time, they’re taking us deep into the shadowy lowlands of South Carolina and the mysterious foothills of North Carolina—where the line between wildlife and the unexplained gets very blurry.In this episode, the team recounts a tense and unsettling expedition through South Carolina’s swamp country, where a single discovery snowballed into something far more disturbing. A strange footprint. Eerie, unidentifiable vocalizations echoing through the darkness.

    Moments that made it clear they weren’t alone—and whatever was out there didn’t want to be seen.The story then shifts to Rutherford County, North Carolina, a well-known hotspot for high strangeness. From repeated wood knocks and fresh footprints to unexplained sightings in the field, the encounters raise serious questions about what’s really moving through these forests.

    Beyond the investigations themselves, the hosts open up about their personal paths into Bigfoot research, the methods they use in the field, and how their experiences increasingly intersect with paranormal phenomena. What starts as cryptid research quickly becomes something deeper—and far more unsettling.

    Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back.
    If you want more of Fred’s incredible Alaskan encounters and deep-dive storytelling, be sure to click the link in the show notes and subscribe to his YouTube channel—you won’t regret it.In this episode, Fred returns to share two chilling and unforgettable accounts from the Alaskan wilderness—stories that left seasoned outdoorsmen questioning everything they thought they knew.

    The first encounter comes from Todd and Alicia, a couple who spent over 30 years beachcombing across remote stretches of Alaska. What began as a familiar and peaceful trip quickly turned unsettling when they heard unexplained noises echoing through the woods—and came face-to-face with a mysterious, man-like figure that should not have been there.

    The second story follows Chad and Darcy, former fishing guides with extensive experience in the Alaskan backcountry. While camping near Roaring Bear Lake, their night was shattered by a haunting, blood-curdling scream—followed by the appearance of a large, dark figure watching from the shadows. What happened next would permanently change how they viewed the wilderness—and their willingness to return to it.

    SO EP:725 Let's Talk Bigfoot
    Feb 6 2026
    This episode is a little different than usual—less about a specific encounter and more about an honest, thoughtful conversation. Brian welcomes Luke from Canada, who reached out not to share a dramatic story, but simply to sit down and talk about Sasquatch, research, and where the subject is headed. What followed was an open, candid exchange that reflects what happens when two curious minds meet without an agenda beyond understanding.

    In this conversation, Brian and guest Luke, a seasoned hunter and dedicated Sasquatch researcher from Alberta, Canada, dive into the serious side of Bigfoot research. Luke talks about his evolution from a casual observer to someone deeply invested in field documentation, stressing the importance of ruling out ordinary explanations and looking for patterns and consistency rather than chasing sensational moments.

    Brian opens up about the balancing act of being a content creator in the Sasquatch world—trying to entertain while staying grounded in responsible research—and the skepticism and ridicule that often come with that territory. Together, they explore how modern tools like drones and AI are changing the research landscape, as well as how documentaries and media portrayals shape public perception of the subject.

    The conversation ultimately circles back to the need for honesty, open-mindedness, and intellectual humility within the research community.

    Rather than trying to convince anyone, Brian and Luke encourage listeners to think critically, stay curious, and if they choose to explore the woods, to do so responsibly and with respect for both nature and the mystery itself.

    Feb 4 2026
    In this episode, Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel returns with one of the most difficult encounters he’s ever shared. The story centers on Don, a lifelong Alaskan who chose a solitary life deep in the wilderness, far from roads, towns, and modern comforts. For years, Don lived in relative peace on his homestead, building a life rooted in self-reliance and a deep respect for the land. That peace begins to unravel when Don starts experiencing encounters with large, unknown beings in the area around his property.

    Through a series of emotional phone calls with Fred, Don recounts how the activity escalated, bringing fear and uncertainty into a place that once felt safe. The situation takes a devastating turn when his dog, Rebel, is violently injured, forcing Don to confront the reality that he may no longer be able to protect himself or the life he built. As the encounters intensify and the sense of being watched and threatened becomes impossible to ignore, Don is faced with an unthinkable choice. In the end, survival outweighs solitude, and he makes the heartbreaking decision to abandon the homestead he loved and leave Alaska altogether, returning to Illinois.

    This episode is a sobering reminder of how thin the line can be between living in harmony with nature and being completely at its mercy. It’s a powerful, emotional account of loss, resilience, and the cost of choosing a life at the edge of the wild.

    SO EP:723 Bigfoot In A Bear Trap
    Feb 1 2026
    In the spring of 1979, a quiet cattle farmer in the Appalachian foothills of eastern Tennessee followed a strange sound into the timber beyond his fence line. What he found in a ravine that morning would change the course of his family's life for the next four decades and beyond. A young creature was caught in an illegal bear trap. Hurt. Terrified. Looking up at him with eyes that didn't belong to any animal he'd ever encountered.

    The farmer made a choice. He knelt down and set it free. No cameras. No witnesses. Just a simple act of kindness from a man who believed you help what's hurting, no matter what it is.

    What happened next is one of the most remarkable long-term sasquatch encounter accounts we've ever received on this show. The creature came back. Then others appeared. And when the farmer's young grandson arrived for his first summer on the property, a friendship began between the boy and that young sasquatch that would span decades.

    The man now in his fifties who grew up alongside these creatures on his grandparents' farm. He watched them. They watched him. Trust was built in inches over years. And what started with one grandfather's mercy in a wooded ravine eventually came full circle in a way that none of us saw coming. This is a story about patience, trust, and the kind of quiet coexistence that most people would say is impossible. Thomas Pritchard says otherwise. And after you hear what he has to say, you might just agree with him.

    Jan 30 2026
    In this episode, Brian welcomes John from Indiana for a gripping conversation that dives headfirst into the strange, unsettling, and deeply fascinating edges of the paranormal. John shares his journey from lifelong skeptic to reluctant believer, a transformation sparked by a ghost hunt at the Randolph County Infirmary that challenged everything he thought he knew. From there, the experiences only escalate.

    He recounts chilling encounters in Ohio’s Tar Hollow State Park, where unexplained stenches, heavy movements, and unnatural sounds hinted at something far from ordinary—possibly even Bigfoot itself.The conversation takes a darker turn as John describes a terrifying late-night drive that brought him face-to-face with a gray, humanoid figure crossing the road, an encounter eerily reminiscent of what many refer to as a “pale crawler.”

    Together, Brian and John explore possible explanations for these phenomena, weaving in theories involving ancient Native American mounds, burial sites, and the idea that certain locations may act as catalysts for high strangeness. John also introduces his podcast, Myths, Monsters, and the Unexplained, where he continues to investigate cryptids, folklore, and firsthand encounters that refuse to fit neatly into our understanding of reality.

    This episode blurs the line between skepticism and belief and asks the question: what happens when the unexplained starts following you home?
