What happens when a man finds sobriety in the high deserts of Southern California — and ends up face to face with something massive, quiet, and watching? In this powerful and wide-ranging episode, we sit down with John, an amateur filmmaker and RC truck hobbyist whose solo desert outings put him directly into the path of a rogue Sasquatch. From secret tunnels in the brush to a deafening roar that silenced a pack of coyotes, John’s experiences stretch across a mysterious “desert triangle” — connecting Yucca Valley, Idyllwild, Desert Hot Springs, and 29 Palms.
But John’s story is only the beginning. In the second half of the episode, we hear chilling encounters from across the U.S.:
— A woman in Nebraska shares a five-year pattern of peaceful Bigfoot visitations along river systems, including the gifting of plush toys and the return of a skull.
— A childhood encounter in Brookdale, California, near the San Lorenzo River, leads one woman decades later to new experiences in the forests of Mount Shasta.
— A family in Indiana sees a massive orange-and-yellow striped creature walking near a lake before the 4th of July.
— In Colorado’s Rio Grande National Forest near Bear Creek, a man recalls his senior trip in the 1980s — when pinecones rained down on tents, grunts echoed through the trees, and a flashlight revealed not one, but two upright creatures watching from the hillside.
— And in Georgia’s Chattahoochee National Forest, a solo camper is bluff charged at night by something heavy, fast, and very close.
These aren’t just campfire tales — they’re firsthand accounts of how the unexplained can break into everyday life. Desert or forest, river or mountain — the stories are out there. And they’re closer than you think.
