Bigfoot Society

For 45 minutes, something tapped against a window approximately nine feet above the ground while John Bertoli lay alone inside a remote yurt near Mount Adams.

John’s experiences began decades earlier in the forests surrounding Williamstown, Massachusetts. As a child, he repeatedly felt watched along the Taconic Crest Trail and heard what sounded like groups of voices near an abandoned homestead in Hopkins Memorial Forest. Later incidents included an unexplained pressure wave near Cole Avenue, a tree falling moments after he requested a sign, and three concealed presences sensed on Pine Cobble Mountain.

His search eventually led him across the country to ECETI Ranch in Washington, where he lived for eight months. John shares two visual sightings, wood knocks around the Field of Dreams, heavy footsteps approaching through the darkness, a voice calling his name near his tent, and the prolonged nighttime activity outside the yurt.

John also discusses telepathy, consciousness, the connections he perceives between Sasquatch and UFO activity, and the importance of approaching these experiences with respect and clear intentions.

Listen to John Bertoli’s complete firsthand account on Bigfoot Society.

Joel Sturgis was alone at Whiteface Reservoir in northern Minnesota when a powerful odor began moving around his campsite. Then he noticed red eyes beyond the firelight. When he looked again, a massive blond Bigfoot was standing approximately 20 feet away, silently watching him.

Joel shares the close-range encounter that kept him out of the woods for three years, the reports he later collected from people living near the reservoir, and his 1994 investigation with Loren Coleman in East Texas. He also takes us inside his years as a Coast to Coast AM board operator, his friendship with Art Bell, and his visit to the Sherman Ranch before it became widely known as Skinwalker Ranch.

The journey continues into Fouke, Arkansas, where a question about Bigfoot caused an entire cafe to fall silent—and local residents began sharing stories involving a three-toed creature, an arm reaching through a bedroom window, and a police officer confronting something outside a trailer.

Listen to Joel Sturgis’s remarkable journey through three decades of Bigfoot, paranormal radio, and unexplained encounters.

During a rainy family drive near Mount Rainier, Donnie and his daughter witnessed an enormous upright figure moving beside a roadside elk. Donnie estimates that it stood at least 10 feet tall, with a massive build, unusually thick hair, and a smooth, confident stride.

The figure remained visible for approximately five seconds before returning to the forest. Years later, Donnie can still picture its proportions, active facial expressions, and the face he says will stay with him for the rest of his life.

In this detailed firsthand account, Donnie reconstructs the sighting near Packwood, Washington, explains why the elk provided such a powerful sense of scale, and explores how the encounter changed his understanding of the wilderness.

Originally released as Bigfoot Society Episode 555 on October 12, 2024.

Two firsthand accounts from the forests surrounding Forks, Washington—separated by more than three decades.

In August 2026, Joel and his family heard piercing screams behind their rental home. Nearby dogs erupted, movement appeared along the fence, and stones struck the house after everyone went inside. Morning revealed disturbing physical signs around an unsecured window.

Kuyler takes us back to 1994, when he was 12 years old at a Hoh River campground. A trembling dog, powerful unidentified vocalizations, and trees breaking in the darkness triggered a reaction throughout the campground.

These witnesses describe what they heard, what they found, and the questions that have followed them ever since. Listen to both complete firsthand accounts on Bigfoot Society.

At 11 years old, Antonio and his best friend were walking home through familiar woods along the Southwick–Westfield border in Western Massachusetts when massive bipedal footsteps began closing in through dense brush.

The movement stopped within 10–15 feet. A deep guttural growl followed, and both boys suddenly found themselves unable to move. As they escaped toward a nearby house, Antonio looked back and saw an enormous black figure standing beside the only light pole in the area.

Antonio shares the encounter he carried privately for nearly 15 years, the recurring screams and wood knocks that followed, and how that night permanently changed his relationship with the woods.
