Bigfoot’s Wilderness Podcast
Welcome to Bigfoot’s Wilderness. Here, the forest has a voice… and every story leaves footprints. In this podcast, we explore encounters from people who swear they’ve seen something they can’t explain — something massive, intelligent, and watching from the tree line. These aren’t campfire legends or recycled myths. They’re real stories told by real people — hunters, hikers, families, skeptics… ordinary folks who walked into the woods and came back changed. You’ll hear about the eyeshine that follows you down the trail, the sudden silence when the forest seems to hold its breath, and those heavy footsteps that don’t belong to any known animal. Out here, we don’t chase proof — we chase truth.So settle in… because the wilderness is big. And something out there is bigger. Welcome to Bigfoot’s Wilderness.© 2017–2025 Bigfoot’s Wilderness.
