Encounters x327 - Real Bigfoot Sightings

Corinne’s hairiest bestie is back! This week we dive into listener stories of Bigfoot encounters that are chilling, hilarious, and seriously hard to explain. Are these beings cryptids, ancient forest creatures, or something even stranger slipping between dimensions? We’re not totally sure, but one thing is clear: they love a snack and might just be the undefeated champions of hide and seek. Sasquatch sightings include: A group of teens stake out a Texas chicken coop only to witness a massive, silent creature casually lift the roof “like a cookie jar” before unleashing a roar that shakes the trees. A logger in Oregon locks eyes with a towering Sasquatch mid-snack as it calmly drops freshly opened clams and disappears into the woods. A late-night drive turns terrifying when a huge, hairy humanoid crosses the road in a single stride and vanishes into the darkness. A professor recounts a creature sprinting alongside her car at highway speed, keeping pace on two legs before disappearing into the woods. Watch the video version here.

• 2:09Corinne Vien?

  Hi.

• 2:10Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Hello.

• 2:10Corinne Vien?

  This is Two Girls, One Ghost.

• 2:12Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Two Girls, One Ghost.

• 2:14Corinne Vien?

  And we are your Ghostesses.

• 2:15Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Hi.

• 2:15Corinne Vien?

  That is Corinne.

• 2:17Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I'm Sabrina. And I have something to share.

• 2:20Corinne Vien?

  Oh.

• 2:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So yes, so yesterday, when we recorded yesterday, but the last encounters episode. I was like excited to be like, oh, I'm going to get my hair laser removed. What kind of sick-

• 2:31Corinne Vien?

  Had you never done it before?

• 2:32Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Painful, torturous thing did I put myself through?

• 2:37Corinne Vien?

  Oh.

• 2:37Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And why do we not talk about how horrible it is? Like, if someone did that to me without my consent, I would give you all my secrets. Like, it is torture.

• 2:46Corinne Vien?

  What kind of laser did you do?

• 2:49Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Torture.

• 2:50Corinne Vien?

  Because I feel like there are ones that are like worse than others?

• 2:53Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Well, I think I, I don't, I don't know.

• 2:55Corinne Vien?

  Did they not put numbing cream on you?

• 2:57Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Mm-mm. Are they supposed to? Is that an option?

• 3:00Corinne Vien?

  I swear I got numbing cream because I had my whole legs, my whole bikini, my butthole, my armpits.

• 3:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The butthole actually was the one that hurt the less, least. I was like, oh, didn't feel it.

• 3:11Corinne Vien?

  Well, really, I felt like my butthole was definitely most painful.

• 3:13Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I-

• 3:14Corinne Vien?

  And armpits. Yeah, I, I got that done like maybe 20 times.

• 3:16Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  But I swear they put numbing cream on me. Corinne, like, I might cry, like, as it started, I was like, why am I doing this? Like, I-

• 3:22Corinne Vien?

  I can't believe you did it without-

• 3:23Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And I have a high pain tolerance. I was like, I don't know that I can do all six sessions that I am supposed to do that I have paid for already.

• 3:29Corinne Vien?

  Did you do your legs?

• 3:31Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I did legs.

• 3:32Corinne Vien?

  Did the shins kill?

• 3:33Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Horrible.

• 3:34Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, the shins were terrible.

• 3:36Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Like, I thought I got numbing cream, maybe I didn't. I'm gonna ask, I'm gonna-

• 3:39Corinne Vien?

  I was years ago, I did it.

• 3:41Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I like booked my next appointment for six weeks out and I was like, oh, no. Because it doesn't hurt afterwards, like, I have no pain after, but the hour-

• 3:49Corinne Vien?

  Laser, like, your hair is getting fried, your skin, your receptors, your- Your nerves.

• 3:56Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And I also feel like people don't talk about that enough. Like our friend Lee from college in LA was like, oh yeah, it didn't hurt. Totally fine. She's like, it's the best thing I've ever done. Everyone I've ever talked to, they talk about how it is the best thing they've ever done. I'm sure the

• 4:09Corinne Vien?

  I think people are gonna, like, there was no, I have no pain tolerance at all. There's no way I could have sat through that without numbing. I think I got numbing cream.

• 4:17Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I am going to call them after this. It was, I'm not kidding, like,

• 4:21Corinne Vien?

  At least I got it around my armpits and

• 4:24Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Your armpits didn't bother me because they're, it was so quick because they're such a smaller region. It was the legs. The legs were the worst.

• 4:31Corinne Vien?

  Have you ever gotten waxed?

• 4:32Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Waxing? I was like, I miss waxing.

• 4:34Corinne Vien?

  Okay, you know what's crazy is I have only had Makuchi waxed once and I had them stop. Partway. So I got through many laser sessions, but waxing, I could not do.

• 4:46Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Like waxing was, waxing is a vacation.

• 4:49Corinne Vien?

  Side of just the bikini zone. They didn't even get into anything. I said, nope, we're done here.

• 4:55Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Damn. And you survived laser?

• 4:57Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, which is why I keep thinking that there must be something else that like helped me get through it.

• 5:02Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, because it was, I've done wax so many times, that is a vacation compared to yesterday. So anyway, if you're considering doing it, just be warned. This is, it is one of the most painful things I've ever experienced.

• 5:15Corinne Vien?

  Which we got a look into where you went.

• 5:17Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I went to like a legit place.

• 5:19Corinne Vien?

  No, but there's different lasers, which is why I'm thinking.

• 5:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It was the biggest machine I've ever seen and it was loud.

• 5:24Corinne Vien?

  It is very loud. But it's like the big kind of like arm and then they like bring the thing over to you.

• 5:28Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah. And then I tried to keep busy.

• 5:31Corinne Vien?

  Chalk lines to like.

• 5:32Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I tried to keep busy on TikTok and I literally couldn't hold my phone up. I had to like clunk.

• 5:37Corinne Vien?

  Did they give you a stress ball? I remember having a stress ball. Maybe I didn't get pain reliever. No, maybe I drugged myself before I went every time.

• 5:44Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  How? With what?

• 5:46Corinne Vien?

  Tylenol? I don't know.

• 5:47Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's not, that's not strong enough. I was like, I need to be under anesthesia for this.

• 5:53Corinne Vien?

  It was so painful.

• 5:55Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, my God.

• 5:56Corinne Vien?

  But if you don't want to get rid of your hair, if you're pro hair, today's encounters episode is all about Bigfoot.

• 6:03Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Which I might have to choose to be instead of getting rid of my hair.

• 6:08Corinne Vien?

  Just, yeah.

• 6:09Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Crazy.

• 6:09Corinne Vien?

  Commit to just being natural. You live in New England now.

• 6:12Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Just be hairy, like our favorite backyard beast, Bigfoot.

• 6:18Corinne Vien?

  Yeah. I so badly wanted to wear my Bigfoot. It's my boyfriend shirt.

• 6:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Where is it?

• 6:22Corinne Vien?

  Um, it was, it had to be thrown away because I wore it so much that

• 6:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It did get worn.

• 6:28Corinne Vien?

  You couldn't read Bigfoot is my boyfriend. Like, it just like wasn't there. It was so faded.

• 6:32Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We gotta get you another one.

• 6:34Corinne Vien?

  Because I wore the crap out of it.

• 6:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I know. We gotta bring back that design.

• 6:35Corinne Vien?

  Lucky it's our own merch.

• 6:37Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Luckily, we can make it whenever we want. Speaking of, um, by the time this episode comes out, we hope we will be having new merch very, very soon. Very, very, very, very soon. Like, we have designs.

• 6:49Corinne Vien?

  We're working with an amazing designer.

• 6:51Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, my God. She's the best. Living Luna Creations, who does the sweatshirt that you wear all the time. And everyone always is like, where is that from? So.

• 6:59Corinne Vien?

  Which says the moon made me do it.

• 7:01Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Stay tuned. We're just like doing some little like alterations and then the designs will be ready. But Bigfoot.

• 7:08Corinne Vien?

  Bigfoot.

• 7:08Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Who's first? You.

• 7:10Corinne Vien?

  Okay, this is called Bigfoot in the Chicken Coop.

• 7:15Corinne Vien?

  Hello, my name is Jordan and I live in Texas. I just want to start off by saying that I firmly believe I was guided to your podcast. I was driving to work, playing my YouTube playlist, which was all music, when randomly one of your videos came on.

• 7:29Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That is very random.

• 7:31Corinne Vien?

  That is, especially if you're only in music.

• 7:33Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 7:33Corinne Vien?

  I was instantly hooked. And so now I listen to y'all on my drive to and from work and also as I color, because it's my de-stresser of the day. And sometimes also when I fall asleep. Wait, so all the time?

• 7:45Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We love that.

• 7:45Corinne Vien?

  And also when I shower and also when I cook and also when I eat. This story was told to me by my father and it took place roughly in the 1960s to 1970s in Longview, Texas. Longview, Texas is or was a small town in East Texas with lots of telepines trees and even more history.

• 8:02Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  What happened to it?

• 8:03Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, I don't know. Maybe the pine trees are just gone now. Also, sorry for the listeners and my, yeah, Bigfoot's, Bigfoot's trees. They're gone.

• 8:13Corinne Vien?

  If I sound stuffy.

• 8:14Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's because you are.

• 8:15Corinne Vien?

  It's that's pregnancy, man. My father was raised in Longview, along with two of his sisters and one brother. And cute little side note, my mom, who grew up right down the street, he always had a crush on her and it took him nearly thirty years to admit his crush on her.

• 8:32Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's so cute.

• 8:33Corinne Vien?

  They're now married and love sharing the story with everyone that we meet. However, in my dad's teenage years, it's safe to say that he was a rambunctious teenager. He played football, he drove a car in a way that had police officers at the front of his door more than one occasion. And even had his mother, my mama, swearing that she would never, ever get into a car as long as he was driving.

• 8:56Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  But probably good that he didn't admit his crush on your mom for thirty years because they probably wouldn't have worked out if it was earlier.

• 9:02Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, revoke his license.

• 9:04Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 9:05Corinne Vien?

  My father had a small group of friends that matched his energy. And when they weren't at football practice or school, they were usually hanging out at someone's house. Now, one of my dad's friends lived on a little farm. And this farm had a creek running through it and a little chicken coop as well and some other small farm animals. My dad's friend told the group that something kept killing his family's chickens. But the weird thing was there was never any damage to the chicken coop and the chickens never made any commotion. The family would simply start the day as always, come out and then find a decapitated chicken or chickens throughout the yard.

• 9:40Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Why am I picturing that like they know this is a routine they have with Bigfoot? So they they sacrifice one of their own. It's like they've made a deal. That's why there's no commotion.

• 9:49Corinne Vien?

  Like them pushing the virgin into the volcano.

• 9:53Corinne Vien?

  Sorry, Frank, you're next.

• 9:54Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's your it's your day, it's your time.

• 9:56Corinne Vien?

  The eldest chicken, you've got to go.

• 9:58Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Bigfoot is taking you.

• 9:59Corinne Vien?

  Mm hmm. So my father and his friends decided that one night they would spend the night on this friend's farm and try to catch whatever it was that was killing these chickens. The running theory was, of course, a raccoon or coyotes. But again, there was never any proof that these predators had been there. And no one was prepared for the shocking reality of what was actually eating these chickens.

• 10:19Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And it was just one every time, right?

• 10:21Corinne Vien?

  Like, no, I think it was like, yeah, it could be like multiple chickens throughout.

• 10:25Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay.

• 10:25Corinne Vien?

  But I like the idea that like, there's one sacrificial chicken. Every night, Jesus, how many chickens do you have to be able to keep a coop?

• 10:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Put them in an indoor coop.

• 10:35Corinne Vien?

  Mm hmm. Or put a sign on the front that says, no Bigfoot allowed.

• 10:39Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  He will respect it.

• 10:40Corinne Vien?

  Yes. So my father and his friends treated it like a deer hunt. Everyone had guns. My father remembered he specifically had a rifle that was loaned to him by his father and it was designed to hunt bears. And one of his friends was actually a very skilled and practiced archer and brought his bow and arrow.

• 10:58Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay, Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen.

• 11:01Corinne Vien?

  This is like, not at all. This is like very tangentially related, but my brother like could be a sniper. He's an incredible sharpshooter, but he went to the rodeo in Texas, in Houston, where he lives the other day. And he like went to all of the games and he wins the biggest prize every single time.

• 11:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, all of his stuffies?

• 11:22Corinne Vien?

  Yeah. And I was like, wait, what the heck? What do you do with this?

• 11:25Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Massive Pokemon.

• 11:26Corinne Vien?

  And he just said every time a kid showed a lot of interest, he would just ask the parents if the kid could have it. Just gave him away. He kept winning them and just

• 11:33Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's cute.

• 11:33Corinne Vien?

  Giving them away to all the kids.

• 11:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  He doesn't want a room full of plushies?

• 11:36Corinne Vien?

  I guess he doesn't want seven foot tall Pokemon plushies.

• 11:39Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  As, as someone who's probably in the dating world, that would be a weird thing to have in your home.

• 11:45Corinne Vien?

  I don't think it made sense for me to take them home, but I enjoyed winning them.

• 11:48Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Welcome to my house with my one room full of stuffed animals.

• 11:51Corinne Vien?

  This is Squirtle's room.

• 11:55Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I would love that.

• 11:57Corinne Vien?

  He's a kooky guy. It could fit. I think you could pull it off. Okay. So they positioned everyone like this. The archer was stationed in the top in one of the many pine trees over the chicken coop, harnessed to the tree trunk with another friend harnessed just below him with a flashlight.

• 12:12Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It is Hunger Games.

• 12:13Corinne Vien?

  It truly is. Also, this like, you know that this is the best memory ever. Well, maybe, maybe not the best ones they find out. But like, how fun when you're gearing up for that.

• 12:24Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 12:24Corinne Vien?

  The father and son that lived on the farm were on the roof of the house with a massive spotlight so they could turn it on and signal when the predator had been spotted. And my father, I love how the dads are getting in on this. Ocean's Eleven, everyone's in on it. My father and another friend were positioned in a deer stand in a tree closer to the creek. Now they believed this predator had been coming up by the creek as they'd never found any footprints or anything, so they assumed that it must be traveling up by the water as to not leave any trace. So they then placed a line of bells with a small wire and stakes along each side of the creek bed as an extra warning system. Damn. Booby traps. My dad was not clear on how long they were waiting, only that there was no light from the moon

• 13:08Corinne Vien?

  and this farm was afar from the city of Longview. There was no source of light. My dad admitted that he was on the verge of sleep when the friend that he was with in the deer stand started tapping his leg almost in a sheer panic. The friend was deadlocked on something out in the trees. My dad couldn't see it, but his friend seemed almost too terrified to even take his eyes off of it. Then the bells along the creek bed began to ring. My dad said he didn't remember there being a breeze strong enough to even rattle the bells as all had been silent this night up until this very moment. My dad said he followed his friend's gaze and was only able to make out a massive shadow moving up from the bed of the creek. So ominous. Between the trees headed towards the chicken coop.

• 13:53Corinne Vien?

  A little midnight snack for our friend. Slowly, my dad raised his rifle and aimed it at this form. His shot was the signal to turn on the spotlight, the one that the others had on top of the roof. And my dad said he remembers watching this thing walk on two legs almost with no sound, even though it moved through the shallow creek and was completely unbothered by the bells. It simply sauntered its way over to the chicken coop. And my dad watched as it tilted the tin roof of the coop off like a lid, like a lid to a cookie jar. Oh my god. And then just began reaching in for chicken. That's why there was no damage to like the fence or the ground. Oh my god. My dad followed the creature with his sight.

• 14:35Corinne Vien?

  And then when he thought he had his aim settled on the animal's shoulder, he fired. The spotlight flashed on, light flooding through the creek and the chicken coop and beyond. And not even a second later, this creature let out a roar of pain. It shook the trees. My father said the roar rattled the deer stand so bad that he and his friend nearly fell off. Wait, that makes me so sad. I know. Immediately the night was, this guy is just trying to get his like little snack.

• 15:02Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I know.

• 15:03Corinne Vien?

  He has no idea he's under attack or that he's doing something wrong.

• 15:05Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Right.

• 15:06Corinne Vien?

  Someone put out a cookie jar of chickens for him.

• 15:08Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's his kitchen.

• 15:09Corinne Vien?

  No one told them different.

• 15:11Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Right.

• 15:12Corinne Vien?

  Immediately the night was filled with shouting and gunfire and my dad said he watched as this massive creature took off into the trees, on two feet, abandoning the chicken coop and knocking into the tree that his two other friends were harnessed into. That's terrifying.

• 15:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  All of this is intense.

• 15:28Corinne Vien?

  My dad said that even after the creature was long gone, no one dared move from their post. He and his friend remained in their deer stand, rifles loaded and in their hands. The spotlight remained on until the sun rose and his friend's mom ran out of the house demanding to know what happened and asking if everyone was okay. Slowly, everyone came down from their posts and collectively went over to the spot where my dad had shot the creature. The shot managed to take out the top of a nearly 10 foot tree. A nearly two foot chunk out of this tree was laying on the ground, splintered where the round had shot it. Just above where the tree had been shot was an arrow from the other friend who had been harnessed in the tree. My dad claimed that he thought he was aiming for the shoulder of this thing in the dark.

• 16:12Corinne Vien?

  He was totally unaware of just how high he had been aiming.

• 16:15Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, my gosh.

• 16:16Corinne Vien?

  The archer friend claimed that he had been aiming for its head. So now they have markers of like where the shoulder was and where the head was. After that night, no more chickens were killed, but it was collectively realized, at least with my dad and his friends, that they without a doubt had seen Bigfoot.

• 16:32Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And they wounded him.

• 16:34Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 16:35Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I hope he's okay.

• 16:37Corinne Vien?

  I don't think he knew.

• 16:39Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  But he learned his lesson. Unless he's dead.

• 16:42Corinne Vien?

  Thank you for all of the spooky and spectacular stories and theories. See you on the other side, Jordan.

• 16:47Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I have so much sympathy for Bigfoot.

• 16:50Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 16:51Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  But I also get like wanting to protect your chickens, but maybe just like put them inside or give them like a safer coop.

• 16:57Corinne Vien?

  Or like a warning shot?

• 17:00Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I know.

• 17:01Corinne Vien?

  Maybe?

• 17:03Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I really hope he's okay.

• 17:05Corinne Vien?

  I can understand the fear, though, of like not knowing what you're seeing. And if it's on two feet, you might think for a moment, like, oh, is there a bear walking over there? But for it to be that tall, that doesn't make sense.

• 17:18Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We know.

• 17:20Corinne Vien?

  And for it to lift off the tin roof.

• 17:22Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Like a cookie jar is the best pick, like, the way I'm picturing it in my head is the most magical thing in the world.

• 17:27Corinne Vien?

  Yeah. I mean, let's think about it. This was like a group of guys waiting at night, scared shitless. Of course, they're gonna shoot. But I do wish that, yeah, they just done like the spotlight or something and tried to scare it away.

• 17:41Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Or on camera, so we could see video evidence of Bigfoot. His chickens on for you, Bigfoot. I'm so excited. I'm getting my whole body MRI scan from Prenewvo in a couple of weeks.

• 17:52Corinne Vien?

  It's honestly so important. It's like one of those things where getting older and aging has provided me so many anxieties about like what's going on.

• 19:35Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I have one. It's Sasquatch and it's a demon. Of course.

• 19:42Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  This is from our listener Quincy, and I'm excited for this because it has a little bit of like a tie-in to some alien stuff, too. Okay, so it's called Sasquatch and a Demon. Hello, my fellow ghosts. My name is Quincy, and to be honest, I've been putting off this email for quite some time because, you know, life. I met Dylan Harrington, who used to work for Tenderfoot and like was doing a lot with High Strange, because I work for our local vet, and he mentioned that he was in the area doing interviews about all the cattle mutilations that have been happening for our podcast. Damn. When we were talking, I asked him the name of those podcasts, and then I told him I was obsessed with Two Girls, One Ghost, and he mentioned that he knows you.

• 20:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Anyway, I wanted to tell you guys two stories. One, I personally did not experience, but my grandfather did. And the second story is a personal experience that is quite spooky. Also, I feel like we need to know more about these cattle mutilations, because I know they talk about it in High Strange in the new season that's out. But Quincy works at the vet clinic and knows about it firsthand. Right. Is it Bigfoot? Is it aliens? What's happening? Okay, but the first story- And why always farm animals? Is it just because they're easy and they're- They're literally out- ...cages, basically? Or like kept outside, easy access. Right, but like fenced in, so they can't really run. Yeah. They're domesticated. Okay, this first story is about my grandfather and Sasquatch.

• 21:08Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  For a little backstory, my grandfather was a Marine in World War II. He worked a howl it. Sir, to be honest, I do not know how to spell that. I am severely dyslexic, so yep, don't know. I don't know how that, I don't even know what that is, so.

• 21:21Corinne Vien?

  Me neither.

• 21:22Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  When he came back from the war, my grandfather struggled with a lot of things. So unfortunately, he did die by suicide years before I was born. But I've always felt extremely connected to him, like he's always there. When I was younger, I remember my mom telling me a story about my grandpa back when he was logging, when he came back from fighting in the war. Now, my grandpa was a big man. He was six foot seven. That's tall. That's Bigfoot height. And he was skinny as a beanpole. My family has legs for days. That is something he passed down to all of us, and I am very grateful for it. But anyhow, they all lived in St. Helens, Oregon, which I've heard you guys mention about in the past. So my grandfather was a logger and his callsign was a beetle.

• 22:04Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  One day, he was coming home from a long day of work when he crashed into this specific bridge. I don't know the name of it, but as he's driving his log truck across the bridge, he looked over to his left and saw something big and hairy crouched on the side of the creek. He did this double take, trying to figure out what the hell this creature was, and slowed down his truck. As he stopped there, he watched this hairy, tall creature stand up, look at him, into the eyes, then drop something in the water, and turn around and walk back into the woods. My mother is the one who told me this story. She never mentioned anything about my grandfather feeling scared or worried, but it seemed like he was very intrigued because after Sasquatch walked into the woods,

• 22:49Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  my grandfather went down to the edge of the creek where whatever that thing was, dropped something into the water because he wanted to see what it dropped. There was a pile of freshwater clams, all opened up, scattered all over the ground, just on the shore of the creek.

• 23:04Corinne Vien?

  Okay, at first I was like, oh my God, Bigfoot is littering? But really, it's composting.

• 23:10Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, and he was having a little snack, opening clams.

• 23:13Corinne Vien?

  Putting it back, exactly where he found it.

• 23:16Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I love this. Bigfoot would totally have a shell collection.

• 23:20Corinne Vien?

  Bigfoot is tidy, is what I'm taking from this. Crack open the cookie jar. Put your shelves back where they belong.

• 23:27Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And then move on.

• 23:28Corinne Vien?

  Keeps a clean house.

• 23:29Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  My mother states to this day that my grandfather was never a man to lie and that he told everything as it was. And if he didn't like it, you could kiss his ass. Even though I never got to meet him in life, I've always felt that this story was true. So hearing it as a kid, obviously started my obsession with Sasquatch. My whole spare bedroom is Sasquatch and Lego themed. He's like Christian. This is Charmander's room, but this is Sasquatch's room.

• 23:56Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's my story about Sasquatch that my grandfather experienced. I do believe in reincarnation, so if I ever get the chance and the choice, you bet your ass I'm coming back as Bigfoot. But all right, my second story, which I'll start with some context about myself. I was born and raised in a religious cult until I was 19. They were very strict on what we could and couldn't do, who we could be friends with, what we could celebrate, how we could even speak, all of that stuff, you know, a cult. But of course, when you're in it, you don't realize it. But beginning of my senior year, I was really struggling with the religion. My mother and her fiance were in trouble with the religion because she was living with her fiance, even though they weren't married. And he didn't believe in the religion, which obviously this cult was not okay with.

• 24:39Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So my mom was having severe consequences because of all of this. And things between my mother, her fiance and I were not the best. I didn't like him because he was a cheating piece of shit. And my mom was in a really deep depression. She didn't know what the hell was going on. So the beginning of my senior year, her fiance proceeds to tell me that I am no longer going to be living in their house. And that they have set up a trailer for me to live in.

• 25:03Corinne Vien?

  Excuse me? Also kind of cool that you get your own trailer, but like to be kicked out.

• 25:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, dickhead. At this point.

• 25:10Corinne Vien?

  Let me hear it from my mom at least.

• 25:12Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Right.

• 25:12Corinne Vien?

  Screw you. I'm sure that trailer's for you.

• 25:15Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Quincy says, at this point, I was super excited about moving out of the house because I really didn't like my life at that point. And I was in the closet, not living the life I felt like I needed to live. I was miserable and I was just excited to kind of get out of the house and have my own place. I was excited, but little did I know. There was no electricity and it was a single wide trailer home and the whole house was completely used in storage, except for the back bedroom. So that was the only room that I really could go in, in this trailer. But yeah, so I was happy to have my own place. I made it my own. I finally had all the stuff that I wasn't allowed in the house, like Lady Gaga posters, CDs, and you know, I hung them all on the wall. In our religion, they always told us to never have worldly friends or accept anything worldly from people. What does that even mean, worldly friends?

• 25:59Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  In the religion, worldly people were considered to be anyone that didn't believe in the religion or that didn't go to church. So pretty much anyone that was not a part of the specific cult. Yikes. Of course, being a teenager, I wanted friends and I was always that awkward religious kid in school so bad, and I so badly wanted to have friends that I made some. They were the weird ones, but also cool as hell. So one of my good friends, who was in charge of the senior yearbook, had this project and she had to go around with this little animal figurine of our mascot, Go Panthers. And she would go around and take different pictures of this figurine throughout the whole school. And it became a game between her and I where I would take the panther and hide it in different spots throughout the school, not telling her where it was.

• 26:42Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  After the first quarter of her senior year, she was done with this project and no longer needed the panther, so she gave it to me. I was ecstatic because I had nothing that was school pride related since I was in this cult and we weren't allowed to have stuff like that until I, of course, started to have my own place and trailer. So this trailer was on the property of my mom and her fiance's house, but just up the hill, about 200 yards. So school ends, I get to my house, I'm so excited. I set this panther on top of my TV, which is one of those old box TVs where you could like touch the screen and feel the static. So I'm starting to get all settled in for the evening because I had school for the next day. My whole room was a weird Lady Gaga, How to Train Your Dragon themed, weird combo, I know, but loved them.

• 27:24Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And as I'm getting cozy in my How to Train Your Dragon comforter, I fall asleep. And I've always had issues with the dark, so I had a nightlight on in my room, still do as an adult. But then I got woken up. Is around two or three AM. I'm awoken by the sound in the middle of the night of my TV being turned off. Which, side note, I never fall asleep with my TV on, nor did I watch TV that day. But I wake up to the sound of my TV being turned off. And if you remember these TVs, like, it makes a specific sound and you watch the screen like go from the outside in.

• 27:56Corinne Vien?

  There's like a buzzing.

• 27:57Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 27:58Corinne Vien?

  Also, them writing about the, like, being able to touch the static of the TV made me realize that so many people out there are not going to ever experience that.

• 28:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That is crazy.

• 28:07Corinne Vien?

  Like, it's like fuzzy on your hand.

• 28:09Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Really, yeah.

• 28:10Corinne Vien?

  Outside of the TV, you're feeling.

• 28:12Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 28:13Corinne Vien?

  Fuzz.

• 28:14Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah. Now I want to touch that.

• 28:16Corinne Vien?

  Right?

• 28:16Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I like that sensation. Ooh, my hand is buzzing. It, it craves it.

• 28:20Corinne Vien?

  It craves.

• 28:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Craves the buzz.

• 28:22Corinne Vien?

  The early 2000s TV.

• 28:24Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay, so I see the TV screen do this. Like, I see it turning off as well as hearing it turn off. I'm laying in my bed, trying to figure out what's going on, when I realize I definitely didn't turn the TV on at any point. And that is when I realized I cannot move my body. I start to panic. I'm laying there in bed, trying to move, trying to make a sound, when I hear feet shuffling across my carpet, coming closer to my bed. I start panicking because I can't turn to see what's approaching me, I just hear it. My head is facing towards the wall, I'm laying on my back. And in my religion that I was raised in, they didn't believe in anything spiritual. So, it's all demons, magic, demons, spirits, everything's demons. So I'm laying there in bed.

• 29:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I start to pray, because my whole life, that's what I was taught to do, if you hear stuff like that. I was scared shitless. I'm laying in bed, not able to move, not able to make a sound, and I hear this thing approach me in my bedroom. So finally, I come to the conclusion that I need to say this prayer even more in my head. I say, "In Jesus Christ's name, amen." And I regain feeling. It starts from my head, slowly down to my knees, and there's this tingling sensation that I'm finally able to start moving a bit and make noise. So then, I start to say the prayer out loud. Once I did that, I regained all feeling in my whole body. But the feeling in my bedroom was so eerie. I do not know how I was able to fall asleep for the rest of that night, but somehow I did. The next morning, I woke up and the energy in my room was really uncomfortable and creepy,

• 29:52Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  like different, like something from that night had shifted the energy in my room. I proceeded to get dressed and get ready for school and I left. I didn't tell my mom what I had experienced. I just went to school and tried to act like it was a normal day. But that eerie feeling just followed me. When I finally got home, I did proceed to tell my mother what happened. And she tells me that we needed to go up to the house and see what was causing it, because it sounded like I had a demon in my house. So as a 17 year old, I start freaking out because who wants to deal with a demon in their house that they have all to themselves? I didn't tell my mom about the figurine because I had no idea that this would be correlated at all. When we got up to my house, as soon as you open the door, we were smacked with the negative energy.

• 30:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I did not want to go back in the house, but luckily my mom was there and I felt a little bit more brave. We walked into the bedroom and we started scanning throughout my bedroom to figure out what could be causing this. She starts going through all of my stuff and proceeds to tell me that she had a feeling it had to do with all of my Lady Gaga stuff.

• 30:51Corinne Vien?

  What?

• 30:52Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  But I told her-

• 30:53Corinne Vien?

  Not the how to train your dragon stuff?

• 30:54Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Right.

• 30:55Corinne Vien?

  That's all good vibes, toothless.

• 30:57Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I told her I've had all these things for months that I don't think it was causing any of this. And that's when it dawned on me that the one thing that had changed in my room from yesterday to today was the little panther figurine that I had brought home the night prior. So I turned around and I told my mom that I think that that's what it was. I showed her the little figurine and as soon as she saw it, she agreed. She said, there's bad energy coming from that and said that we needed to get rid of it. So I proceeded to take it out of my house and put it in the dumpster. And as soon as it was out of the house, my home felt completely different. All of the negative energy had been lifted.

• 31:34Corinne Vien?

  Which is amazing that they were able to pinpoint so quickly what it was.

• 31:37Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Right.

• 31:37Corinne Vien?

  Because especially with like so many different figurines and just different like things that could pull energy, like it's hard, like-

• 31:43Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Also, like, it sounds like the front part of the trailer was storage too. Like, who knows what was in there?

• 31:49Corinne Vien?

  Right. There's so many items in a home.

• 31:51Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Right. To this day, I don't really know what the spirit was, but I do know that the moment that little panther figurine was gone, I had not experienced anything since. I love you guys' podcasts and all the stories you tell. You guys got good energy going on and you crack me up. Keep up the good work. And if you ever want to go Sasquatch hunting, the area I live in in Oregon is supposed to be where the famous Sasquatch video was captured. So yeah, have a wonderful day. Thank you, Quincy.

• 32:18Corinne Vien?

  Dang. Okay, thank God the demonic situation happened so quick. It was like in and out.

• 32:25Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And then you were able to solve it. Yeah. But what was attached to it?

• 32:29Corinne Vien?

  I know.

• 32:29Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  What's up at your school? What weird energy you got going on there that you brought home with a panther?

• 32:34Corinne Vien?

  There's a lot going on, clearly. I mean, there's Bigfoots in the area. There's

• 32:38Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I know.

• 32:39Corinne Vien?

  Jealous.

• 32:41Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  There's Bigfoots not far from here, or reported sightings.

• 32:45Corinne Vien?

  Right, that's true.

• 32:45Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The kidney bean.

• 32:47Corinne Vien?

  Bridgewater kidney bean. Also, I have a family friend who grew up in, I think, Pennsylvania, and she saw one.

• 32:54Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I think like similar to me wanting so badly to be abducted by aliens, that because we do this podcast, I'm so aware of like when I'm driving at night, like I'm so conscious of, oh, something could be lurking in the woods, that I feel like I won't see it. But when you're not thinking about it, you're not consciously thinking about it, like that's when

• 33:11Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 33:12Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  a sighting like that happens.

• 33:14Corinne Vien?

  Right. Yeah, like the family friend, she was, it was when she was in school and she was like walking with the school bus.

• 33:19Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 33:19Corinne Vien?

  Like you're not thinking about

• 33:20Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Right.

• 33:21Corinne Vien?

  anything. God, the desperation.

• 33:24Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We are desperate.

• 33:25Corinne Vien?

  I say that though, but I did see Champ.

• 33:28Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's true. We're pick me girls when it comes to Bigfoot and aliens.

• 33:32Corinne Vien?

  Yes.

• 33:32Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  You're you Bigfoot, me alien.

• 33:34Corinne Vien?

  You Bigfoot, me alien.

• 33:36Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  You Bigfoot, me alien.

• 33:38Corinne Vien?

  Pick me.

• 33:41Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Otherwise, leave me alone. LMA.

• 33:44Corinne Vien?

  LMA. And this is called the time I met Corinne's best friend, which is Bigfoot.

• 33:48Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I was like, I'm her best friend.

• 33:50Corinne Vien?

  I'm right here.

• 33:51Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  When did we meet?

• 33:52Corinne Vien?

  Hi Corinne and Sabrina. My name is Brandon and I'm a longtime listener and a fan of your podcast. However, this is my first time sending in an email despite having countless paranormal experiences. I know, I know. Just put me in front of a jury. The story I'm going to tell today happened around 2007, when I was just a wee lad.

• 34:09Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  A wee lad.

• 34:10Corinne Vien?

  So I grew up in a small town in central Kentucky. I was raised in a dual income family and both of my parents worked the night shift. After school, I would ride the bus to my grandparents' house and I would stay there until my dad got off of work. His shift usually ended around 10:00 PM. So on a normal weekday, I was asleep by the time he came to pick me up. You know, the restless kind of sleep where you're on your grandmother's couch while being hyper aware of every clock tick and creaking floorboard. Yeah, that kind. That's me every night. I'm getting a lot of nostalgia from these emails. It was the static TV and now I'm like thinking about the clock that's in my grandparents' house, but the ticking, ticking, and then the little song it does. At the hour? At the hour mark. Yeah.

• 34:51Corinne Vien?

  On this particular night, everything started the same. He picked me up, we headed home. Our house was only a 10 or 15 minute drive from my grandparents' house. And to get there, you had to drive down a narrow road that passed a lake and then a creek. The perfect spot for Bigfoot. Right? Yeah, because they love eating their little clams and. And little creeks. And little creeks, finding their chicken coops. Plus, if they are interdimensional beings, the power of the water. Mm hmm. True. As a kid, I always thought that the empty fields and the darkness along the road looked like the perfect setting for a horror movie, the kind where unknown figures suddenly appear in your headlights. But that was fiction. That doesn't really happen. By this point in the drive, we already crossed the bridge over the lake and were approaching

• 35:35Corinne Vien?

  the second bridge that crossed the creek. As we rounded the sharp curve just before the bridge, I noticed my dad slowing down more than usual. It was not an abrupt stop. It was more cautious, like he was trying to avoid something in the road. I looked up from my half-asleep stupor and I saw movement on the shoulder of the road. Moments later, a dark humanoid figure moved from the shoulder and onto the road itself. When people say that time slows down during these terrifying, life-defining experiences, I believe them because that is the truth. The entire interaction couldn't have lasted more than a few seconds, but I could paint every detail of what I saw nearly 19 years later. The figure was

• 36:17Corinne Vien?

  large. It was tall. There were no clear facial features that I could make out, but I could see its extremities and its entire body appeared to be covered in hair. It was just me. It was Sabrina.

• 36:30Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Giving up on laser hair removal.

• 36:31Corinne Vien?

  Not going to her six week appointment. As soon as it noticed our headlights, it took one massive stride across the road, clearing it in a single step and then bolted into the field opposite the side of the road. My dad and I were both stunned. And with our moments notice, my dad decided that he was going to reverse the truck and point the headlights into the fields and try to get another look at this thing.

• 36:53Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That is so brave.

• 36:55Corinne Vien?

  In true kid fashion, I said, absolutely fucking not. I started crying. I started begging him, please just drive. I don't want to see it again. I just want to leave. And thankfully, my dad listened and we did drive off.

• 37:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  But your dad still regrets that. Your dad's still pissed.

• 37:10Corinne Vien?

  The day I could have seen Bigfoot.

• 37:11Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The things we do for children.

• 37:14Corinne Vien?

  My frigging kid. The whole rest of the way home, we drove in complete silence. To this day, my dad and I still talk about that night and we have no explanation for what we saw. The only conclusion we have is that, well, we saw Bigfoot. And here's the kicker. The area where we live is actually known for unusual activity. In the 10 years we've lived there, we have experienced UFO sightings, paranormal activity in our home, and now Bigfoot. This gives credence to the belief in Bigfoot, that it could be an interdimensional being that can cross through portals or paranormal hotspots. However, a part of me wants to believe that it's just this warm-blooded, cryptid, and it's really good at hide and seek.

• 37:56Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  What if that's what Bigfoots are doing? They're literally just playing the longest, never-ending game of hide and seek.

• 38:03Corinne Vien?

  Tag your head. Except when you get tagged, they're too strong and you die.

• 38:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And you die.

• 38:08Corinne Vien?

  When you search Bigfoot in Kentucky, the town I grew up in may not be one of the top results. However, we only lived 30 miles from an area that's considered to have one of the highest concentrations of reported sightings of Bigfoot in the state.

• 38:20Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Wait, I want to know the name because I want to research it. That would be a good birthday episode for you.

• 38:26Corinne Vien?

  Right. Yeah. Because, well, Sabrina says. The town used to host an annual festival dedicated to Bigfoot. So maybe that will help us find it.

• 38:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Kentucky Bigfoot Town. There's a Bigfoot or research organization in Pine Ridge, Kentucky.

• 38:42Corinne Vien?

  Hmm. Yeah, I'll have to look it up.

• 38:44Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay.

• 38:44Corinne Vien?

  Aside from that, the other element that convinces me that we were not just sleep deprived or experiencing some sort of shared hallucination is that this was not the last encounter with Bigfoot in our area. Not only has my dad had other experiences, including vocalizations, but another friend saw him in even greater detail. I will save those for another time. Stay spooky. Hope to see you on the other side. From Brandon.

• 39:09Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay, Brandon, we're coming to Kentucky.

• 39:13Corinne Vien?

  Dang.

• 39:14Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We actually have a lot of reasons to go to Kentucky.

• 39:16Corinne Vien?

  Goblins, aliens. Waverly Hills, Bigfoot, paranormal hotspot, Kentucky.

• 39:22Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Damn.

• 39:23Corinne Vien?

  That's amazing.

• 39:24Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And that's such a good one because yes, it was scary in the moment, but like now you have a Bigfoot story and you survived. And Bigfoot wasn't trying to engage with you.

• 39:32Corinne Vien?

  No, he ran away.

• 39:35Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, he was fighting Hudson.

• 39:36Corinne Vien?

  If anything, your dad was trying to chase him.

• 39:39Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 39:39Corinne Vien?

  So fun. Love Bigfoot stories.

• 39:43Speaker 03

• 40:44Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I have another one from our listener Scotty.

• 40:47Corinne Vien?

  Scotty doesn't know.

• 40:49Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And now we'll have another location to go to, to find Bigfoot. It is Bigfoot sighting at Klingman's Dome, which is in the Smoky Mountains. Hi Corinne and Sabrina, I just want to say how much I adore your podcast. Which always makes me like, thank you for saying that's very nice. But like, who would be emailing us to tell us they don't like? But we actually.

• 41:09Corinne Vien?

  There have been some.

• 41:10Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I think while I was picking my stories for this episode, like I found one because I searched Bigfoot, right? There was one email from someone who literally took the time to email us saying that they, like basically said, we were like the dumbest people in the world for believing in, and it like listed, and it said Bigfoot. And was like, all of you who, and all of your listeners need to get psychiatric help. I was like, to take the time out of your day to find our email address? Type that up and send it.

• 41:39Corinne Vien?

  Next time you walk across a puddle, stop and take a good hard look at yourself. Who is that girl I see? A monster, yes. Be better. Bigfoot would eat you if he could.

• 41:58Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  All right.

• 41:59Corinne Vien?

  I will feed him. No, never mind.

• 42:02Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  You would feed him out of your hand if you could.

• 42:04Corinne Vien?

  This is getting dark. I'm not going to talk about. Yeah. Feeding listeners to Bigfoot, well.

• 42:09Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Well, they're not a listener, so.

• 42:11Corinne Vien?

  Never mind.

• 42:12Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  You can. Okay, so Scotty likes our podcast. You both make the paranormal feel like a cozy terrifying sleepover with best friends. And I've been binging episodes nonstop. So this happened a couple of years back. And every time you mention cryptids, all of the memories come rushing back. So here's the story. This happened in late October 2021 at Klingman's Dome in the Smoky Mountains. My partner and I had gotten up early in the morning to catch the sunrise. And it was that eerie quiet that you only get at high altitudes. No traffic, no animals, just wind through the trees and a fog that made everything feel a little off. I mean, I'm telling you, the moment we stepped out of the car, I felt like something was watching us.

• 42:55Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Not that someone's nearby kind of watch, but like something ancient. Had its eyes on me.

• 43:00Corinne Vien?

  Ooh.

• 43:01Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The Smoky Mountains.

• 43:03Corinne Vien?

  It is.

• 43:04Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We took the trail up and it was uneventful for the most part, until we reached a bend near the tree line. We both stopped in our tracks because across a small clearing, maybe 50 feet ahead, there was a figure. It was massive, at least seven feet tall, covered in dark, shaggy hair, with these wide sloped shoulders and long arms that truly almost hung down to its knees.

• 43:30Corinne Vien?

  Wow.

• 43:31Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We both know it was not a bear. I know how bears move and this thing stood still, tilted its head at us like it was curious. My chest tightened immediately. I have never felt that kind of primal fear before. It was like every instinct in me was screaming to run, but I couldn't move. My partner whispered, "Do you see that?" And I nodded without even blinking. We were both rooted to the spot, absolutely paralyzed. Then, as silently as we had seen it, it turned and walked off into the woods without a single sound. No crunching of leaves, nothing. It was just gone.

• 44:07Corinne Vien?

  Damn.

• 44:08Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So we basically power walked to the car without saying a word. I didn't even realize that I was crying until we got into the car and locked the doors. It wasn't just fear, it was awe, like I had seen something I was never meant to see.

• 44:20Corinne Vien?

  Well, and also it's like, it's the wildest thing and I feel like we, it's kind of the same in every single story that we've read so far and even previously, where it's like, these are massive creatures that should weigh so much and yet they're making no noise. They are silent, stepping on crunchy leaves and twigs and...

• 44:37Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Why is that so, I feel like nostalgia, but all the ballet classes I did, you know, where they're like, "Stop stomping like elephants." They should say, "Move like Bigfoot."

• 44:47Corinne Vien?

  Move like Bigfoot with grace.

• 44:48Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  With grace.

• 44:50Corinne Vien?

  Heave your body silently, float like butterfly.

• 44:54Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Fly across that bridge in one leap and make zero sound when you land.

• 44:59Corinne Vien?

  I don't want to hear you breathe.

• 45:00Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Be Bigfoot. Ah, if I ever teach ballet, which I will not. In another life. Scotty says, I will never forget that feeling in my gut. That overwhelming, bone-deep sense that something wild, but also very intelligent, had taken notice of me. And I tell people, most people laugh it off or try to explain it away, but I know what I saw. Bigfoot is real and he hangs out at Klingman's Dome. Thanks for reading. I'd be honored if you shared it on the podcast, but if not, I'm just glad to tell someone who might believe me, stay spooky, Scotty.

• 45:32Corinne Vien?

  Wow, we believe you, Scotty.

• 45:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We absolutely believe you.

• 45:36Corinne Vien?

  The other thing, like, I don't even understand people's arguments that are like, oh, you must have just seen a bear, because we know what bears look like.

• 45:43Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Right.

• 45:43Corinne Vien?

  Toddlers know what bears look like. Bears are, are an animal that everyone has shown.

• 45:48Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I think it's because even when you're seeing a bear, like, you don't see it often. And so when you see it, it's like this moment of shock, right? And I think you, your brain processes shock in different ways that people are like, oh, it was probably a bear and you just like have not ever seen one or encountered one in this way that you just processed it weird.

• 46:07Corinne Vien?

  Maybe. Yeah, because even like a diseased bear still looks like a bear.

• 46:10Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 46:11Corinne Vien?

  Like, the thing I can understand is like, when people, like, there's been cryptid reports or whatever of like, a strange alien being, or like, what is this crazy creature? And it's the body of like, a raccoon who drowned and has no hair on it. And raccoons look crazy without hair.

• 46:29Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I think raccoons are so cute.

• 46:30Corinne Vien?

  Raccoons are really cute.

• 46:32Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And possums. Like, I love. A possum tail, I know it freaks people out. I think it's so cute.

• 46:37Corinne Vien?

  It's a little weird.

• 46:38Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's ratty.

• 46:39Corinne Vien?

  It's a little gross.

• 46:40Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's like a massive rat tail.

• 46:41Corinne Vien?

  Mm-hmm. But I do feel for the possums. I don't want them to be scared.

• 46:45Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  No.

• 46:46Corinne Vien?

  Be afraid not, possum. We mean you no harm.

• 46:48Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And Bigfoot is real, is the argument we're saying.

• 46:51Corinne Vien?

  Okay, I have one more called, "A sighting. Was it Bigfoot, a flesh pedestrian, on Adirondack Highway?" Hello ladies. I've only recently discovered your podcast, but I have been obsessively listening and decided to send in this story because it is the craziest thing that I have ever heard. It's not my story, but I will tell it to the best of my ability. When I was in college, I had an English professor who was the quietest, most reserved, logical thinking woman I have ever known. She was not what I would describe as eccentric. She had a pretty serious personality. But one day in class, we somehow got on the topic of weird stories that happened to us. And our professor unexpectedly chimed in with what she says was the scariest thing that she has ever experienced, and she still doesn't

• 47:36Corinne Vien?

  know what to make of it. She said she was driving home from visiting her boyfriend at the time, and a lot of the drive was through this remote part of the Adirondacks in upstate New York. It was around midnight, and she was planning on just driving the whole way without stopping. Now, at this point, she said, I know what you all are going to think. You're going to chalk it up to me being overly tired and seeing things, but I'm telling you with full confidence that this was not the case. She said, along the two-way highway with just a median, she was approaching a hill. As her headlights started to eliminate the crest of the hill, she saw a giant thing hunched over in the middle of the road. She said she was going about 60 miles per hour, and she was startled, thinking that this

• 48:19Corinne Vien?

  was a bear eating a deer in the middle of the road or something like that. So she switched lanes, got into the left lane, and this is the crazy part. All of the sudden, she said this thing stands up on two legs and starts to run into the median of the road and began running alongside her vehicle for a good 10 to 15 seconds.

• 48:38Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's...

• 48:39Corinne Vien?

  Mind you, she is driving 60 miles per hour, and this creature on two legs is keeping up with her car. She said she was trying to look at it, but also keep her eyes on the road the whole time and was just thinking, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, over and over again. It eventually cut across the road behind her car and ran into the woods. Needless to say, she said that this was the most scared she has ever been, and she drove the rest of the night in complete shock. Everyone in our class was listening to her with their mouths agape. This was not a woman who would just make something up like this. She swore up and down that that is what she saw, and she doesn't know what she saw. She's adamant that her story is 100% true and not embellished.

• 49:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Well, we've heard stories like this before, so we believe it too.

• 49:26Corinne Vien?

  They're right. My professor went on to explain that she did not believe in Bigfoot, but if she had to describe what this thing looked like, it did look like a Bigfoot.

• 49:36Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I feel like Bigfoot, I mean, I may be wrong, but most encounters we hear of Bigfoot, they don't chase along the car. I feel like flesh pedestrians do, or like not deer do.

• 49:45Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 49:46Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Which are also like hairy and tall and scary.

• 49:49Corinne Vien?

  Not like this, though. Although I feel like not deer. Well, did that deer look like deer? At first, but they are, they had that sort of like meat eating, like eating roadkill sort of trope.

• 50:00Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah. And they can like rise up and be in two feet and be really tall and hairy.

• 50:05Corinne Vien?

  That this thing looked like a Bigfoot. This is from Amber, and Amber's serious professor, I guess.

• 50:12Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  If you want to be remembered as a teacher, go out driving in the Adirondacks, have an experience with Bigfoot.

• 50:20Corinne Vien?

  Collect your scariest.

• 50:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And tell your students.

• 50:23Corinne Vien?

  Damn, crazy. Now I'm just like mad at Brian for not experiencing anything like this because his family.

• 50:30Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Brian's the last person who would ever want to experience anything like that.

• 50:34Corinne Vien?

  He would be, he would be traumatized institution if he ever saw anything. But he grew up like hiking all the peaks in the Adirondacks, like huge hiking family in the upstate New York in their cabin.

• 50:46Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Look around, Brian. Do you not see anything in the tree lines? They're too pleasant of people for Bigfoot to like inter- interact with. I don't know. Or also like, I feel like they were never.

• 50:57Corinne Vien?

  Too loud.

• 50:57Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I was just gonna say, they were never alone and they always could be heard.

• 51:01Corinne Vien?

  That is a loud family. They can't sneak up on you. Let me tell you that.

• 51:06Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  All of these encounters that we just read, I feel like most of them were either people alone or doing something very quietly or like waiting, watching, not giving away their presence.

• 51:18Corinne Vien?

  Yeah. I'm kind of shocked my dad hasn't experienced more.

• 51:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I guarantee your dad has. He just hasn't told all the stories.

• 51:24Corinne Vien?

  He would tell me if he saw a Bigfoot.

• 51:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, sure.

• 51:27Corinne Vien?

  Because he's told me that like cryptid, other cryptid sightings. He did see.

• 51:31Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  There's still time.

• 51:31Corinne Vien?

  And this is what I totally, and he's not the only hunter in like the northeast region who has said this. He was like, I saw a black mountain lion or something. Like it was like a black panther. And everyone's like, that doesn't exist.

• 51:45Corinne Vien?

  He's not the only one.

• 51:46Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Other people have seen him.

• 51:48Corinne Vien?

  I need to get him a nice ass hunting camera.

• 51:50Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I have something to end on. It's not really a Bigfoot story, but a long time ago, you had done like a call to action for more stories or questionable like experiences where basically, am I the asshole?

• 52:04Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So this is gonna be like a thought provoker and our listener. We've had a couple come in, so we should do like a whole episode about where we read your story then asking, am I the asshole for this experience? And we'll weigh in. This is from our listener Tracy? Yes. Hello Ghostesses and Sven. ADHD ramble incoming, so edit out whatever you want. We're just gonna read the whole thing. It's easier. You did an am I the asshole episode and I recently listened to it and I think you asked for more, so here it is. I love your podcast. I love your connection with each other and the amazing community you have created. I guess it might be time for me to join Patreon because I need more. Okay, so to start, I believe in Bigfoot. That three-part series you all did just confirmed

• 52:48Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  it even more, but I've always leaned towards the interdimensional being. Anyway, for me, end of story, Bigfoot exists.

• 52:55Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, I agree with you there. I lean that way too.

• 52:58Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, I'm on the fence. I believe it exists, but I believe less in Bigfoot than I do in like most other things.

• 53:06Corinne Vien?

  But you believe in aliens.

• 53:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Uh, yeah.

• 53:08Corinne Vien?

  Bigfoot could be an alien species.

• 53:10Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's what I, that's why I believe in the interdimensional being.

• 53:13Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, that's, yeah, that's what I lean towards too.

• 53:15Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 53:15Corinne Vien?

  I'm less of like, they're just chilling in the mountains at all times, hiding in caves.

• 53:19Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, no, they're bopping through timelines. Okay, so my vibes have definitely worn off on our creepy kid and after a few kid cryptid books and seeing a Bigfoot bumper sticker out in the wild, my son has become obsessed. We spent the summer in an area of North Carolina with a lot of Bigfoot sightings and evidence, so all of this was really around him growing up. We bought all the books. He always asked to watch evidence and sighting clips with me on my phone. He told anyone and everyone who would listen about how one day he was going to find Bigfoot.

• 53:51Corinne Vien?

  I love this.

• 53:53Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So we're at a horse show last summer up in Michigan and our son was really coming into the height of his Bigfoot obsession. He went out riding on his pony every day through the trails, all to look for Bigfoot and Bigfoot evidence.

• 54:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Without myself or my husband knowing, a very good friend of ours ordered a costume and planned the day he would find Bigfoot.

• 54:16Corinne Vien?

  No.

• 54:18Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The day came. The Bigfootbusters, as he calls his team, all went out in search of Bigfoot again. And he found him. I am absolutely the asshole for traumatizing the two little friends that my son brought along with him, who were horrified when they found Bigfoot. But am I the asshole for going along with this friend and the elaborate plan to keep our son's belief alive? It wasn't our idea, and I feel so warm in my heart that a few of our friends wanted to create this amazing experience and core memory for our son, who truly believes he saw Bigfoot. Is that gaslighting? Am I the asshole? If I am, I welcome and accept it because that day is a day our family will never forget. Either way, I know Bigfoot is out there and our son does too.

• 55:00Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And at the rate we're going, he might have a second chapter on finding Bigfoot coming in 2040. Because he'll be older and make a documentary about it. So let me know. Am I the asshole? From Tracy.

• 55:11Corinne Vien?

  I'm kind of conflicted because I feel like, in part, you're nurturing the belief in Bigfoot.

• 55:18Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Totally.

• 55:19Corinne Vien?

  But I do feel like, depending on the age of your child, there needs to be a day where it's like, hey, do you remember when you thought you saw Bigfoot? So and so had dressed up as a costume. However,

• 55:32Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 55:32Corinne Vien?

  that's not to say Bigfoot isn't real.

• 55:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Right.

• 55:35Corinne Vien?

  And like, I do think that there's a lot of evidence and we should go try to find footprints and like do castings and like, like an explanation of like, it wasn't, like, it's not not real.

• 55:45Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Well, I don't think Tracy's the asshole because, I mean, think about Santa Claus. Santa's real, but people dress up as Santa all the time.

• 55:52Corinne Vien?

  Santa's helpers, yes.

• 55:53Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  For, but no, like you go to the mall and you bring your kid to go see Santa. You lead your kid to believe that that is the Santa Claus.

• 56:01Corinne Vien?

  Oh, my parents never did.

• 56:02Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, really?

• 56:03Corinne Vien?

  Santa employed Santa's helpers to be, to dress as Santa.

• 56:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I see.

• 56:07Corinne Vien?

  And like have his magic. And whatever you tell that Santa goes to Santa at the North Pole.

• 56:13Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I was led to believe, and I feel like a lot of kids are led to believe that you were going to sit on real Santa's lap.

• 56:18Corinne Vien?

  Interesting.

• 56:18Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So I would say that, that what's the difference?

• 56:22Corinne Vien?

  But there comes a time where

• 56:25Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  You learn.

• 56:25Corinne Vien?

  You learn.

• 56:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 56:27Corinne Vien?

  Which I agree. About Santa when you're older.

• 56:30Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 56:31Corinne Vien?

  So I feel like, yeah, the Bigfoot, it needs to be exposed, but then, you know, the, the reality is Bigfoot is real.

• 56:39Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  100%.

• 56:40Corinne Vien?

  And your child can still go out and Bigfoot hunt.

• 56:42Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 56:43Corinne Vien?

  And one day actually, honestly, I kind of hope doesn't, in childhood, doesn't find Bigfoot. That would be fricking terrifying. Although Bigfoot does seem to, reputation wise, does seem to be very nurturing towards children and like helps a lot of children who are lost and.

• 56:59Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Well, I mean, all of the stories that we shared today, Bigfoot wasn't harming humans.

• 57:03Corinne Vien?

  No, no, no. Yeah.

• 57:05Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So.

• 57:06Corinne Vien?

  Just a hungry little snacker.

• 57:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Likes his clams and his chickens.

• 57:09Corinne Vien?

  Mm-hmm. It can run fast.

• 57:10Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay. Idea for you.

• 57:12Corinne Vien?

  Mm-hmm.

• 57:13Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  If you want to attract a Bigfoot, or anyone listening, and you have like a wooded backyard, put some clams and some chicken out there.

• 57:21Corinne Vien?

  Clams, chicken, yeah. What other things do they like?

• 57:23Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Rocks. They really like big rocks. They like to throw them. But maybe don't put big rocks out there because they might throw it at your house.

• 57:28Corinne Vien?

  Wait, we talked about this years ago where someone was putting out like different candies and different.

• 57:33Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, to see what Bigfoot like?

• 57:35Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, like peanut butter and fluff sandwiches, like different things like that. And there was, there was an answer and I can't remember what it was.

• 57:40Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Uh, Abbott Elementary, do you watch it?

• 57:42Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 57:42Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Um, have you watched the most recent season?

• 57:44Corinne Vien?

  Uh, I think so.

• 57:45Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Where she thinks that there's a cat coming and eating like the can of tuna outside of her house, outside of her apartment, but it's actually like the neighbor. Or like this guy, he's like, I'm not seeing this can of tuna here and so I keep eating it.

• 57:59Corinne Vien?

  I'm not cut up, but that's very funny. Yeah, something like that.

• 58:04Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Something like that. Well, if you have seen Bigfoot, or have any Bigfoot encounters, whether they're yours, or your friends, or your grandparents, or whatever, please email us your stories to [email protected].
