Drawing from his experience as a crime scene investigator, David explains how applying professional investigative practices—like maintaining field journals, photographing tracks from multiple angles, and preserving evidence correctly—can help bridge the gap between curiosity and scientific acceptance.With humor, honesty, and a deep respect for the subject, this presentation highlights why raising standards in Bigfoot research is essential for moving the field forward.

  In this chilling episode, Fred Alaska shares a series of unsettling experiences passed down from his First Nations friend, David, whose family cabin near Bristol Bay, Alaska became the site of strange and unexplainable events throughout the 1990s.

Fred also explores the enduring legends of Alaska’s “Little People”—elusive, otherworldly beings said to dwell in remote regions like the Johnson River and the Aleutian Mountains. Blending Native oral history, local folklore, and firsthand accounts, these stories reveal a hidden side of Alaska where myth and reality blur, and where ancient spirits may still roam among the mountains and tundra.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

  In this chilling episode Fred from Alaska, who brings two haunting accounts from the frozen north—true stories of isolation, terror, and survival in one of the world’s most unforgiving landscapes.The first story follows Bernie, a woman living alone on a remote Alaskan homestead after the tragic loss of her husband. What begins as unsettling noises and strange disturbances around her cabin soon escalates into a harrowing confrontation with hairy, caveman-like beings that emerge from the forest.Alone and armed only with her courage, Bernie faces the unthinkable as she fights to survive against something not entirely human—and not entirely animal. Fred also shares a second account from Joseph, set in 1987 in Bristol Bay, where a dense fog hides something terrifying in the mist. The encounter that follows defies explanation and adds another chapter to Alaska’s long history of cryptid encounters and wilderness mysteries. These are stories of fear, endurance, and the strange, untamed forces that still roam the edges of civilization.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
