    BWBS Ep:119 The Boys Meet Bigfoot
    Jul 13 2025
    In this episode, we dive into one of the most harrowing Sasquatch encounters I've ever had the privilege to share. Our witness, David, reached out to me after years of listening to the podcast, drawn by my law enforcement background and approach to witness testimony. What he shared will stay with you long after the episode ends.The summer of 1976 was supposed to be a rite of passage for four thirteen-year-old boys from Troy, North Carolina. David, Tommy, Mark, and Joey had planned their first multi-day camping trip into the remote areas of Uwharrie National Forest, determined to prove they were old enough to handle real wilderness adventure. What started as an innocent camping expedition quickly became a fight for survival against something that shouldn't exist.David's account stands out for several reasons. First, the creature they encountered bore a distinctive injury - a severely damaged left arm that appeared to have healed incorrectly, creating a unique identifying characteristic that sets this sighting apart from others. This disability seemed to drive the creature's behavior, making it more desperate and willing to view the boys as potential prey rather than simply observing them from a distance.The intelligence displayed by these creatures is perhaps the most chilling aspect of David's story.What began as distant vocalizations quickly escalated into a coordinated siege that lasted an entire night. The boys found themselves under assault from multiple creatures using tools and tactics that demonstrated sophisticated planning and problem-solving abilities. Rocks became weapons, burning branches were turned against their own fire, and the attacks were timed to maximize psychological pressure.Mark's quick thinking with his grandfather's twenty-two rifle may have saved their lives, though the bullets that found their target only wounded and enraged the creature rather than stopping it. The boys spent a terrifying night feeding their fire and fighting off attacks from intelligent predators who understood that darkness and exhaustion would eventually work in their favor.David's narrative captures not just the terror of that encounter, but the profound way it shaped four young lives. Each boy processed the experience differently as they grew into adulthood. Tommy became obsessed with returning to find proof, a drive that may have contributed to his eventual military career and tragic death.Mark channeled his experience into scientific study, while Joey dedicated his life to protecting the very forests where they'd encountered the unknown. David himself found stability in numbers and logic, building a normal life while carrying the weight of extraordinary knowledge.What makes this account particularly compelling is David's measured, thoughtful approach to sharing his story. Nearly fifty years later, he can analyze the encounter with the wisdom of age while still conveying the raw terror of that night. His details about the creatures' tactical behavior, their apparent social structure, and their sophisticated understanding of human psychology paint a picture of beings far more complex and dangerous than the typical forest giant narrative.The Uwharrie Mountains have a long history of unexplained encounters, and David's story fits into a larger pattern of sightings in North Carolina's ancient hills. His correspondence with other witnesses and his ongoing relationship with Joey, who spent his career in forest management, provides ongoing context for understanding these creatures as part of a hidden ecosystem that most humans never glimpse.This episode also touches on the broader implications of such encounters.David discusses the government interest in the area over the years, the careful documentation of unexplained incidents by forest service personnel, and the consistent patterns that emerge when you look at these sightings objectively. His law enforcement appreciation for evidence and witness credibility adds weight to testimony that might otherwise be dismissed.Perhaps most importantly, David's story serves as a reminder that our understanding of the natural world remains incomplete. These aren't just campfire tales or folklore, but encounters with intelligent beings that have perfected the art of remaining hidden while maintaining complex social structures and sophisticated survival strategies.The episode concludes with David's reflections on how the encounter shaped his worldview, his parenting, and his approach to life's mysteries. His message isn't one of fear, but of respect for the unknown and the importance of approaching the wilderness with proper preparation and awareness.This is essential listening for anyone interested in serious cryptozoology research, unexplained encounters, or the ongoing mystery of what might still be hiding in America's deepest forests. David's story reminds us that sometimes the most extraordinary experiences happen to the most ordinary people, and that truth can ...

    BWBS Ep:118 The Watchers
    Jul 11 2025
    In this chilling episode, we share an anonymous account from Mike, a veteran search and rescue team leader with seventeen years of experience in the Colorado Rockies. What started as a routine missing hiker call three years ago became one of the most extraordinary and terrifying encounters ever documented by a SAR team. When twenty-eight-year-old Amy disappeared while attempting a solo hike in the treacherous Devil's Backbone area, Mike's team deployed their newly acquired drone to scan the deep ravines where traditional search methods would be too dangerous. The thermal imaging quickly located Amy on a narrow ledge two hundred feet down in the canyon, alive but trapped and clearly terrified.What the drone captured next defied all explanation.

    A massive, bipedal creature emerged from the shadows of the ravine, standing over seven feet tall with dark fur and unmistakably intelligent eyes. Rather than threatening Amy, the creature began making complex vocalizations that seemed designed to communicate with her. The team watched in stunned silence as this unknown being positioned itself protectively between Amy and some unseen threat deeper in the canyon.

    Mike's account details how the creature ultimately guided Amy to safety through treacherous terrain that would have challenged even experienced rock climbers, leading her along ancient routes through the ravine system that weren't marked on any map. When Amy was finally rescued, she described how the creature had been protecting her from other predatory sounds in the darkness and had used gentle vocalizations to calm her fears throughout the night.
    This encounter was just the beginning of Mike's journey into a hidden world that exists parallel to our own.

    As he reached out to other SAR teams across the country, a disturbing pattern emerged. Teams from Montana to California to Washington state had similar footage and encounters, all carefully covered up to protect professional credibility. Missing persons cases began clustering around areas where these creatures had been sighted, suggesting something far more complex than isolated incidents.Mike's investigation revealed what appears to be an entire ecosystem of intelligent cryptid species living in North American wilderness areas. Government documents allegedly classify these beings into three distinct categories: the Guardians who help lost humans, the Stalkers who view humans as prey, and the mysterious Watchers who seem to manage the delicate balance between the other two species.The account becomes increasingly urgent as Mike describes how this ancient balance is beginning to collapse.

    Climate change and human encroachment are forcing these creatures into smaller territories, making the predatory species more aggressive while driving the helpful ones deeper into hiding. The government's response has reportedly been to increase cover-up efforts rather than address the underlying crisis. Through drone footage, thermal imaging, and firsthand testimonies from experienced wilderness professionals, this episode presents compelling evidence that we share our wild spaces with intelligences that have been watching us, studying us, and in many cases protecting us for centuries. Mike's network has now documented over one hundred Guardian encounters that resulted in human lives being saved, while identifying dozens of disappearances that may be attributed to the more dangerous species.

    The implications extend far beyond individual encounters. If Mike's account is accurate, wilderness management policies may need fundamental revision to acknowledge relationships with species that possess intelligence, territorial behaviors, and the ability to either help or harm human visitors to their domains. The episode raises profound questions about what we truly know about the creatures that inhabit our most remote wilderness areas and whether the general public has a right to understand the risks and protections that may exist in these hidden ecosystems.Mike concludes his account with practical advice for wilderness travelers while calling for greater transparency from government agencies and wilderness management organizations.

    His message is clear: the truth is literally living in the shadows between the trees, and the time has come to acknowledge what SAR professionals have been quietly documenting for years. This episode contains authentic drone footage descriptions, thermal imaging analysis, and detailed documentation from multiple search and rescue operations across twelve states. Listener discretion is advised for those planning wilderness travel, as this account may fundamentally change how you view your next backcountry adventure.

  • BWBS Ep:117 The Mothman of Point Pleasant

    BWBS Ep:117 The Mothman of Point Pleasant
    Jul 6 2025
    In this episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories, we take a detour from the deep woods and follow a trail of glowing red eyes straight into the heart of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Between 1966 and 1967, something strange haunted the skies and backroads of this small town—something that defied logic and terrified everyone who laid eyes on it.

    They called it the Mothman.Described as a towering figure with massive wings and burning red eyes, this creature was more than just a strange sighting. For some, it was a warning. For others, it was a curse. And when the Silver Bridge collapsed in December of 1967, killing 46 people, many believed the Mothman had foretold the disaster—or even caused it.

    In this episode, we explore the origins of the Mothman legend, revisit the chilling eyewitness encounters that made headlines, and look at how fear, folklore, and tragedy fused into one of America’s most iconic cryptid mysteries. We also unpack the theories—ranging from secret government experiments to interdimensional visitors—and talk about how a small Appalachian town turned its nightmare into a lasting legend.

    Whether you think the Mothman is a paranormal prophet, a misunderstood creature, or just a case of mass hysteria, one thing’s for sure—once you hear the stories, you’ll never look at a dark country road the same way again.
