    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.

  • BWBS Ep:116 The Beast Between the Lakes

    BWBS Ep:116 The Beast Between the Lakes
    Jul 2 2025
    In the early 1980s, a Florida family of four set out on a camping trip to the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area—and never returned. According to legend, they were attacked by a large, wolf-like creature. The father was found dead outside the RV, the mother mutilated nearby, one child torn apart inside the camper, and the other discovered high in a tree. No official reports confirm this event, but the story has taken root as one of the most unsettling pieces of American cryptid folklore.This episode explores one version of that story—possibly the most detailed account, but far from the only one. We retrace the history of Land Between the Lakes, starting with the forced removal of hundreds of families to make way for the recreation area.

    From there, we move into the eerie details of the alleged attack and the claims of a government cover-up that followed. Along the way, we examine decades of strange encounters, unexplained evidence, and witness accounts that continue to stir fear and fascination.The creature at the heart of the legend—often called the Beast of LBL, the Dogman, or simply the Monster—is described as a seven-foot-tall, muscular but lean figure with glowing red eyes and long claws.

    Stories about it stretch back over 200 years, with roots in Native American oral history. In this version, we look closely at the alleged victims: a family from Florida, including two children named Bradley and Megan, and the law enforcement officers who reportedly found the aftermath of something horrific.Some accounts mention that the case was reviewed by pathologists and examiners, but their findings were never officially released and were quickly classified. Reports speak of wounds that didn’t match any known animal, evidence that vanished into federal custody, and a rapid response that many believe suggests someone was expecting something exactly like this to happen.Even today, strange things are still reported in the northern parts of Land Between the Lakes: massive footprints, tufts of unidentified hair, signs of animal panic, and stories of electronic equipment suddenly failing.


    Those who spend time deep in the woods speak of an overwhelming sense of being watched—and sometimes, of seeing something that shouldn’t exist.Despite all of this, the U.S. Forest Service maintains that there is no verified evidence of any such creature. Official statements deny any knowledge, and the story is written off as urban legend.We don’t claim to offer proof. This episode is an exploration of a persistent and terrifying piece of American folklore. It's a story built on whispers, sightings, and the fear of what might be waiting just beyond the campfire’s glow.

    Whether it's myth, misremembered tragedy, or something far stranger, the tale of the Beast of Land Between the Lakes endures.This episode contains graphic descriptions of alleged violence, including harm to children. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

    BWBS Ep:115 The Flatwoods Monster
    Jun 29 2025
    On September 12, 1952, a group of children in Braxton County, West Virginia, witnessed something that would shatter the quiet of their mountain town—a 10-foot-tall creature with glowing red eyes and a helmet-shaped head. What followed wasn’t folklore. It was one of the most thoroughly documented and chilling cryptid encounters in American history.

    In this episode, we unravel the full story of the Flatwoods Monster: a case supported not only by eyewitnesses, but by physical evidence, medical records, and official investigations. From the initial sighting of a fiery object streaking across the sky to two close encounters that left witnesses physically ill and investigators baffled, this wasn’t a hoax—it was a mystery that refused to fade. You’ll hear how a terrified group, led by a National Guardsman, came face-to-face with something that emitted toxic mist and moved in unnatural ways. We examine the physical traces left behind—radiation hotspots, metallic fragments, scorched vegetation—and the disturbing medical symptoms that followed.

    Despite explanations ranging from mass hysteria to barn owls, none have accounted for all the evidence.The Flatwoods case drew national media, Project Blue Book, and decades of scientific analysis. Modern experts have verified the trauma of the witnesses and found clues suggesting advanced technology far beyond what was available in the 1950s. To this day, the encounter remains unsolved—but not forgotten. Flatwoods now honors the event with a museum and festival, keeping alive the story of the night something not of this world may have crashed in the hills of West Virginia.

    BWBS Ep:114 They Took Us: The Terry Lovelace Abduction
    Jun 27 2025
    What begins as a quiet weekend camping trip for two off-duty Air Force servicemen spirals into one of the most disturbing and credible alien abduction accounts in modern history.

    In this episode, we explore the chilling true story of Terry Lovelace—an attorney, veteran, and former Assistant Attorney General—who has spent decades coming to terms with what happened to him in the summer of 1977 at Devil’s Den State Park.Terry and his friend had set up camp in a remote clearing, expecting nothing more than a peaceful night under the stars. But as darkness fell, the forest around them grew eerily silent—unnaturally so. Without warning, an enormous, black, triangular craft appeared overhead, hovering soundlessly above their campsite.

    That’s when time itself seemed to fracture. The next thing they knew, hours had passed, and they were back in their tent—terrified, confused, and unable to explain what had happened. Years later, under hypnosis, Terry would recall the horrifying details of that missing time: the pale, expressionless entities, the cold examination tables, and the overwhelming sense of powerlessness.

    Disturbingly, a routine medical X-ray would later reveal a mysterious implant in his leg—an object that doctors couldn’t explain, and which seemed to emit radio frequencies when scanned.This isn’t just a story of an abduction—it’s a story of trauma, buried memory, and the terrifying possibility that we are not only being watched… but taken. And if Terry Lovelace’s experience is to be believed, they may not have been the first… or the last.


    Whether you’re a staunch skeptic, a believer in the unexplained, or just someone fascinated by the dark fringes of reality, this is one story that will rattle your sense of what’s possible.

    🚨 Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of abduction, physical trauma, and psychological distress. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

    BWBS Ep:113 Taken From Devil's Elbow
    Jun 23 2025
    A Vietnam War helicopter mechanic named Frank vanishes in 2024. Left behind: a handwritten account spanning 50 years. It starts with “foo fighters”—strange lights pacing U.S. aircraft in Vietnam—and ends in the Oregon wilderness, where similar lights appear at a remote fishing spot called Devil’s Elbow. Frank returns decades later with a drone enthusiast named Chris. They pick up disturbing electromagnetic readings. Then Chris disappears too. Frank’s technical eye and military background give weight to his account—he wasn’t imagining things. The question is: what’s watching us, and why?


    Story 2: The Hitchhiker Beyond the Truck Stop
    Along I-40, truckers keep seeing the same thing: hitchhikers who vanish without a trace. They look real, talk normal, give directions—and then disappear, often right outside a truck stop or gas station. The pattern spans states and decades. The most haunted stretch? Between New Mexico and Tennessee.Some think these phantoms are tied to sites of past trauma—accidents, lost towns, graveyards buried under asphalt. Others think something older is using the roads—and us—for something we don’t yet understand.

    BWBS Ep:112 Hunters Kill Bigfoot
    Jun 18 2025
    In this episode, we explore one of the most disturbing and unforgettable stories ever told on Coast to Coast AM. A man calling himself “Bugs” phoned in with a confession that sounded more like a campfire ghost story—except he claimed it really happened.Back in the early 1970s, Bugs and a fellow hunter were out spotlighting illegally in the dense woods of Texas when they spotted what they first thought were bears.

    But as the figures stepped into the light, it became clear they were looking at something else entirely: two tall, broad-shouldered creatures walking upright, covered in hair, with faces that looked eerily human. Without hesitation, the men opened fire.According to Bugs, they dragged the bodies away and buried them in a shallow grave—then vowed never to speak of it again. But decades later, the memory was still eating at him.

    He called in not for fame, but out of guilt, fear, and the need to unload a secret he’d carried for most of his life.We revisit the full account: the setting, the killing, the horrifying realization that these might not have been animals at all—and the eerie calm in Bugs’ voice as he recounts it. Along the way, we’ll look at how this story fits into the broader world of Bigfoot lore, the culture of poaching in that era, and the strange intersection of trauma and the paranormal.

    It’s a tale that raises uncomfortable questions about what we believe, what we suppress, and how far people go to bury the truth.If you’ve ever wondered what it would really feel like to kill a legend, this is the story that makes you think twice.

    BWBS Ep:111 Sheriff Deputy Finds Bigfoot
    Jun 15 2025
    For years, mainstream researchers insisted Sasquatch existed—if at all—only in the Pacific Northwest. But the witnesses in this episode know better. From Georgia’s Blue Ridge to the Florida swamps, these firsthand encounters, spanning over fifty years, reveal a hidden population thriving in the American South.Tonight, you’ll hear stories of a hunter who faced down an eight-foot creature shaking his tree stand, a ginseng picker who stumbled into a remote valley where intelligent beings debated his fate, and a solo hiker systematically stalked through the Appalachian wilderness.

    You’ll also hear the chilling account of a veteran Florida sheriff’s deputy who, after years of dealing with gators and fugitives, came face-to-face with a massive creature emerging from the cypress swamp, making it clear who really owned the land.

    Then, a Kentucky poacher finds himself hunted by towering predators, and an Alabama homesteader forms an unlikely, year-long bond with something not entirely human. These aren’t blurry-photo stories or secondhand rumors.

    These are raw, detailed accounts from people who came far too close to something impossible.
