698: East Tennessee Bigfoot
In episode 698: East Tennessee Bigfoot, Harley Owens, a Bigfoot field researcher out of east Tennessee, recounts a series of unsettling encounters that slowly shattered his skepticism. Strange growls in the night, fleeting glimpses of large figures in the distance, these were experiences he could explain away. However, everything changed on a fateful day when he came face to face with something he couldn’t ignore. As a massive, conical-headed figure watched him from a cliff, his phone mysteriously died, cutting off his chance to capture the moment with more than a picture. In that instant, the legend of Bigfoot became terrifyingly real, keeping him from even stepping foot in the woods for three years only recently entering the woods again. Since Harley began doing field research, he has had more encounters, some of which will put a chill down your spine.

696: The Art of The Hoax
In episode 696: The Art of The Hoax, Trey, the creator of the popular Instagram page @squatch_me_now, and his hoaxing partner, Brock, join to talk about an unorthodox topic, hoaxing Bigfoot. Together, they explain the unanswered questions about Bigfoot videos, and why video evidence often falls short of expectations. Trey shares his insights from years of examining photographic and video evidence, addressing the challenges of capturing high-quality footage of such elusive creatures. They also discuss their ongoing docuseries "Masters of the Hunt", where they conduct groundbreaking experiments, including ethical hoaxing, to reveal just how difficult it is to fake a Bigfoot sighting. With Trey's deep dive into the history of giants and Brock's hands-on experience in Bigfoot costuming, this conversation takes a fascinating look at what it really takes to explore the phenomenon, and attempts to answer the biggest question surrounding Bigfoot sighting videos...Are they real?
