Bigfoot Society

In this episode, we journey into the rugged sandstone cliffs and shadowed trails of Garden of the Gods in southern Illinois, where Amanda recounts a night that changed her understanding of the wilderness forever. Visiting the remote reaches of the Shawnee National Forest, what began as a peaceful evening under the stars slowly unfolded into an unsettling experience marked by strange lights in the sky, an eerie silence in the woods, and the unmistakable sound of something walking just out of sight beside her.

Amanda shares what it felt like to move through the darkness with an unseen presence pacing her step for step, how the atmosphere of the forest shifted around her, and why the location itself now carries a deeper weight for her. Rooted in firsthand testimony and grounded in the geography of one of Illinois’ most iconic natural landmarks, her account offers a vivid glimpse into the mystery that still lingers in this secluded corner of the Midwest.

Join us as we explore Amanda’s chilling experience in Garden of the Gods and the quiet, unsettling questions that remain about what truly moves through those woods after nightfall.

In this episode, we journey across continents and into some of the most remote corners of Bigfoot territory, beginning in Queensland, Australia, where a member of the Kabi people shares a deeply personal experience tied to a sacred site along the Mary River. Camping beneath the stars near the mysterious “Gimpy Pyramid,” he recounts a night that left him shaken and forever changed, offering rare insight into Indigenous traditions surrounding the Hairy Man.

We then travel to the Appalachian foothills of Eastern Kentucky, where a seasoned hunter describes a sound he heard before sunrise—something so unnatural it kept him frozen in his tree stand for hours. From there, the trail leads into rural Georgia near Thomaston, where a massive figure is seen crossing a narrow road near an old pig processing facility, an encounter later echoed by unsettling reports from the surrounding hills.

The episode closes in the lowcountry of South Carolina, near the floodplains of the Cooper River and the edges of Francis Marion National Forest, where a long-haul truck driver comes face to face with something towering and unmistakably not human.

In this episode, we explore a chilling series of firsthand Bigfoot encounters that stretch across the American landscape, beginning with a haunting road crossing in the remote hills east of Tacoma and Olympia, Washington. What starts as a late-night drive turns into a life-altering moment when three towering figures step into the headlights—then calmly look back.

From there, the stories grow even darker and more unsettling. We travel to the high desert canyons of the Navajo Nation near Gallup, New Mexico, where late-night screams echo through the mountains and a massive black figure is seen crawling, standing, and watching from the darkness. We journey north to the rugged Blue Mountains near Blanding, Utah, where a Sasquatch rips open a teepee during a family hunting trip. We return to a known hotspot near Mena, Arkansas, just miles from Board Camp Crystal Mine, and hear updates from a witness drawn back to the same remote cabin where strange activity first began.

The episode continues through the forests of southeastern New Mexico, the Ozarks near Marshfield, Missouri, and the pine-covered backroads of East Texas, where a family recounts terrifying encounters passed down through generations.

In this episode, we explore a gripping collection of firsthand Sasquatch encounters stretching across seven states, from the forests of Tennessee and the wetlands of Florida to the high timber of northeast Oregon and the rural backroads of Pennsylvania. A bowhunter recounts a startling sighting near Oakridge, Oregon, where a tall, bipedal figure moved through the trees with steady, deliberate motion. In Arkansas, a witness shares what he heard his first night living beside the legendary Boggy Creek. In rural Pennsylvania, a woman opens up about the day she was followed by a towering white creature along a secluded country road.

Listeners will also hear long-term activity reports from Florida’s Bulow Creek State Park, where unexplained tracks, strange structures, and unsettling nighttime events have persisted for decades, as well as ongoing encounters along the Appalachian Trail in Lehigh County. From guttural roars that send animals fleeing, to unseen presences standing just beyond the firelight, each guest brings calm, grounded testimony shaped by years of reflection and life in the outdoors.

These accounts come from hunters, hikers, ranchers, and lifelong woodsmen who know their land and recognize when something unfamiliar moves through it. Join us as we trace geographic patterns, recurring behaviors, and the enduring mystery of Sasquatch across America, following the locations, the timelines, and the experiences that continue to draw people into this phenomenon.

In this episode, we sit down with Jared McGilliard, director and executive producer of MonsterQuest, as he steps out from behind the camera to share the encounters that shaped his understanding of the phenomenon. From the dense forests of Washington’s North Cascades to remote regions tied to decades of unexplained activity, Jared recounts experiences that go far beyond television production.

Drawing from his time investigating cryptid cases around the world—including extreme expeditions into the Himalayas—Jared reflects on the moments that stayed with him long after the cameras stopped rolling. He describes locations passed down through generations, a singular place in the Pacific Northwest tied to repeated activity, and the unsettling realization that some encounters don’t fit neatly into any known explanation.

How to Watch MonsterQuest:
The new season of MonsterQuest is now airing on the History Channel and available through History’s official streaming and on-demand platforms.
