Backwoods Bigfoot Stories

• BWBS Ep:75 Stalked By Dogman

  In tonight’s episode, we’re heading into the dark corners of the British countryside, where more than a few people have come face to face with something they can’t explain. These aren’t tall tales from deep in the American wilderness. These are stories from people in Scotland, Derbyshire, Oldham… places where folklore runs deep and the forests seem to hold their breath after dark.We start with an eerie pair of encounters near Cairnpapple Hill in the Bathgate Hills of Scotland. A young driver and his friends stumble upon a dark figure racing towards their car. Years later, he returns—only to find that something still waits for him in the snow, following his every move.Next, we travel to the winding Carrick Hills of Ayrshire, where a family drive turns into something much darker. A father, not known for fear, sees something out on the hills he refuses to talk about for the rest of his life. He never takes his family that way again.From there, we move to British Aerospace at Monkton in 1999. A young woman walking alone at dawn sees something that should not exist. Standing seven feet tall, it watches her from just a few meters away, standing on two legs, growling low. After that day, she’s never quite the same—and she never walks alone again.Then we hear the story of a welder in Oldham who decides to work late and sleep overnight at the factory. What follows is a terrifying series of events as he’s stalked through the streets by something that looks more beast than man. He makes it to the train station—but only just.And finally, we share an anonymous email submission from “Paul,” a forestry worker who stayed behind one night near Glen Clova. He thought he was alone—until he realized something was following him through the silent woods. What stepped out of the darkness that night changed him forever.Five stories. Five encounters. And one unsettling possibility: that there’s something ancient and unknown still out there. And it might be closer than you think. Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMVisit HIMS.COM

• BWBS Ep:74 Bigfoot In Boggy Creek!

  In the deep, mist-covered swamps of Louisiana and the shadowed bottomlands of Arkansas, something has been seen. Something big. Something wild. And for decades, the stories have haunted locals and fueled whispered warnings: Don’t go out there after dark.In this episode, we travel first to the murky waters of Honey Island Swamp. Since the early 1960s, there have been sightings of a hulking, hair-covered creature said to stand over seven feet tall. It’s known for its piercing yellow eyes, webbed footprints, and the foul stench it leaves behind. Some say it’s an undiscovered primate. Others say it’s something far older, something tied to the ancient legends of the land.Then we head north, across the state line, to the town of Fouke, Arkansas. In 1971, a quiet rural community was shaken by a terrifying encounter that left a family fleeing their home and sparked one of America’s most enduring monster legends. The creature became known as the Fouke Monster—or the Boggy Creek Monster. Witnesses describe a towering figure with glowing red eyes and long arms that swing like a great ape.The stories are chilling, the evidence mysterious, and the legend refuses to die.Finally, we follow a trail that may tie these two legends together. A story that crosses swamps, rivers, and state lines. A story of men who went looking for the truth—and may have found it. Or maybe something found them. Are these two creatures part of the same mystery? Separate beasts haunting different landscapes? Or is it all just folklore—old stories to keep people from wandering too far into the dark? You decide. But remember, some legends are more than just stories.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMVisit HIMS.COM

• BWBS Ep:72 The Scape Ore Swamp Monster

  This episode takes you deep into the wilds and waters of North Carolina, where folklore and fear go hand in hand.We kick things off in the murky lowlands of Scape Ore Swamp, home to one of the strangest cryptid encounters on record. Known as the Lizard Man, this creature first terrorized the small town of Bishopville in the late 1980s. With glowing red eyes, scaly skin, and a towering frame, witnesses described something straight out of a nightmare. But some say this wasn’t a one-time visitor. Could the Scape Ore Swamp Monster be part of something bigger—another link in North Carolina’s long history of Bigfoot sightings?From there, we head into the dense forests and remote backroads, where encounters with Bigfoot have spanned generations. Hunters, hikers, and locals tell stories of hulking, hair-covered figures crossing highways in the dead of night, of eerie howls that send shivers down your spine, and of something massive lurking just beyond the tree line. These aren’t just isolated incidents—they’re part of a pattern stretching across the state, from the Uwharrie National Forest to the Blue Ridge Mountains.But the mysteries don’t stop in the woods. Off the coast, the Outer Banks are known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic, where more than 2,000 ships have met their end. Some of them, according to legend, never left. We explore the chilling stories of North Carolina’s ghost ships, like the Carroll A. Deering, found run aground in 1921 with its entire crew vanished. And then there’s the Flaming Ship of Ocracoke, a phantom vessel said to appear in flames before vanishing into thin air.Then come the booms. Along these same shores, locals have heard thunderous explosions for centuries—sounds that rattle homes, shake the ground, and leave no physical trace. They call them the Seneca Guns. Are they earthquakes? Underwater landslides? Something stranger? No one knows. But the booms keep coming.And just when you think it can’t get any stranger, we dig into North Carolina’s werewolf legends. From the colonial era to the present day, there are stories of shapeshifters, half-human beasts, and howls that don’t belong to any known predator. Whether they’re European legends brought over by settlers or something older and native to these lands, the werewolves of North Carolina still haunt the edges of local lore.From swamp monsters and Sasquatch to ghost ships, phantom booms, and werewolves—this is North Carolina like you’ve never heard it before.If you’re loving these stories, here’s what to do next:Follow and subscribe to the show.Turn on auto-downloads so you never miss an episode.Leave a rating and review—it helps more people find us, and we appreciate it.Most importantly, tell your friends, family, and co-workers.

• BWBS Ep:71 Missing: National Park Nightmares Vol.1

  Welcome to first episode in a series of National Park Nightmares, a deep dive into some of the most mysterious disappearances that have taken place in America’s vast and often unforgiving national parks. In this first episode of the series, we explore four baffling cases of individuals who vanished under strange and unexplained circumstances: Dennis Martin, Thelma Pauline Melton, Bessie and Glen Hyde, and Trenny Gibson. Each of these cases presents unique and unsettling elements that leave us questioning what forces might be at play in the depths of the wilderness. These are not merely stories of people getting lost. Many of these cases involve eerie coincidences, missing evidence, and witnesses reporting odd details that defy conventional explanations. As we embark on this series, we aim to investigate the facts while respecting the families of the missing, acknowledging the pain they have endured, and ensuring that these individuals are not forgotten. Some speculate that unknown elements—whether natural, human, or even cryptid—may be involved in these disappearances. While we are not here to promote any particular theory, we cannot ignore that fact is sometimes stranger than fiction.Cases Covered in This Episode: 🔹 Dennis Martin (1969) – Great Smoky Mountains National Park A six-year-old boy vanishes without a trace during a family camping trip. Hundreds of searchers, including the Green Berets, comb the area, but no trace of him is ever found. Was Dennis simply lost, or was there something more sinister at play? 🔹 Thelma Pauline Melton (1981) – Great Smoky Mountains National Park An experienced hiker disappears in broad daylight on a well-traveled trail she had walked countless times before. No signs of struggle, no logical explanation—just gone. 🔹 Bessie and Glen Hyde (1928) – Grand Canyon National Park A newlywed couple sets off on a daring honeymoon adventure down the Colorado River but never reaches their destination. Their boat is found intact with all their supplies, yet the Hydes themselves have vanished. Did they drown, or is there another explanation? 🔹 Trenny Gibson (1976) – Great Smoky Mountains National Park A sixteen-year-old high school student on a school field trip steps off a trail for mere moments and is never seen again. Her disappearance raises many questions, especially considering her proximity to other students and the strange behavior of some individuals in the group.Join the Discussion: Do you have thoughts on these cases?
