My Uncle Shot a Bigfoot… and It Didn’t Die

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Scott from southern Ohio, whose life has been shaped by encounters that stretch across generations. Growing up with stories from his grandfather about a terrifying creature in the woods of Clay County, West Virginia, Scott shares how those early accounts set the foundation for everything that followed. From a close-range encounter where a family member came face to face with a massive being in rural Ohio, to the deeply unsettling events he experienced as a child in the remote hills of eastern Kentucky, a pattern begins to take shape.


Living part of his childhood along the Kentucky River, Scott describes a place where strange activity was treated as part of everyday life. Animals disappeared without a trace, food was left out and taken overnight, and something large moved through the hollers after dark. Known by a name passed quietly through his family—“the cowker”—this presence carried a reputation that kept people inside once night fell.


As Scott grew older, the experiences didn’t stay in the past. From unexplained activity near a cabin in Tennessee to ongoing encounters in Adams County, Ohio, including movement in the woods, vocalizations, and moments that defy easy explanation, the same feeling followed him into adulthood. Along the way, he connects with others who have seen similar things, reinforcing that these events are not isolated.


Scott’s account offers a grounded, firsthand look at what happens when multiple generations encounter something they cannot explain, yet never forget.
