Don Keating began investigating Bigfoot in 1984, inspired by reading John Green’s work. He quickly became one of the most active field researchers in the Midwest, focusing on what he later named “The Sasquatch Triangle”, a cluster of counties in eastern Ohio known for dense forests and consistent sightings.

 

Keating wasn’t just collecting stories; he was building a regional research infrastructure. He founded the Tri-State Bigfoot Study Group and the Eastern Ohio Bigfoot Investigation Center, creating organized teams long before social media made collaboration easy.

Ron Howe’s journey into Bigfoot research began when he was just 13 years old, the day he came face‑to‑face with a massive, hair‑covered creature in the woods of his family farm. That single encounter changed the course of his life forever.

Since then, Ron has spent decades trekking through forests, documenting activity, and chasing the truth behind America’s most elusive legend. In this episode, he shares stories from his many expeditions, the encounters that shaped his research, and the moments that still stay with him after all these years.

Ray Crowe founded the Western Bigfoot Society (WBS) in Oregon in 1991, holding monthly meetings in the basement of his Hillsboro bookstore. Those meetings became a hub for eyewitnesses, researchers, and curious locals, one of the first consistent public spaces dedicated to Bigfoot discussion.

 

Crowe’s approach was open‑door and community‑driven. He welcomed anyone with a story, a question, or a theory. That accessibility made him a beloved figure in the field and helped normalize Bigfoot research for everyday people.

They step into these places to give the spirits a voice… but sometimes, the voices that answer back have more to say than anyone expects. Tonight, we’re pulling back the veil to explore what’s really happening at the locations they investigate, the history, the hauntings, and the encounters that stay with you long after the lights go out.

Few names spark debate in the Bigfoot world like Janice Carter.

Most Bigfoot researchers chase evidence.

Grover Krantz studied it.

Some UFO sightings are blurry lights or wild stories…

But a few cases stand out because of multiple witnesses, radar data, military involvement, or physical evidence.

These are the ones even skeptics struggle with.

Here are five of the most credible UFO encounters ever recorded:

Two giants of cryptid lore, but they couldn’t be more different. Bigfoot is the watcher. Dogman is the predator.

Both leave tracks, both vanish before cameras catch them, but their behavior tells two very different stories.

In October 1973, two men, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, were fishing on the Pascagoula River when they claimed something extraordinary happened. What followed became one of the most credible and unsettling abduction cases ever recorded.

Every time you dig deep into Bigfoot reports, something strange happens; UFO sightings start popping up in the same places. Not always. Not everywhere. But often enough that researchers have been arguing about it for decades.
