About this listen

In this episode of Whispers of the Woodape, we head deep into the dark, forested folklore of the Northeast to uncover the truth about the Genoskwa—also known as the Stone Giant. Rooted in Iroquois legend and feared by hunters and hikers alike, this isn’t your typical Bigfoot. The Genoskwa is stronger, meaner, and far more aggressive. Bennett and co-host Joule break down the chilling encounters reported from Upstate New York, the Adirondacks, and the Allegheny region. We’ll dig into 1800s accounts of “bark-covered men,” compare Genoskwa behavior with classic Sasquatch reports, and ask the big question: is the Genoskwa just a regional variation, or something much more sinister—possibly even related to the Wendigo mythos? This episode blends indigenous lore, modern sightings, and high-strangeness theory to bring you one of the most brutal cryptids in North America. Pack your thermal cams and steel your nerves—this ain’t just knocks and howls.
