Sasquatch, Secrets, and the Suppressed Story (Ep. 256)

In tonight’s live broadcast from Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, I sat down with “Mr. W,” a veteran high-mountain hunter and former Forest Service firefighter with over 45 years of backcountry experience, to recount a chilling nighttime encounter he believes involved Sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest. We walked through his precise timeline: the abrupt silence of the forest, a rancid odor on the air, low-frequency grumbles, and the moment two elevated, illuminated eyes appeared from behind dense brush—at a height he insists ruled out bear or elk. By morning, he noted disturbed ground, snapped branches, and ambiguous prints. 

While we can’t independently verify his claims, Mr. W detailed past work with wildlife officials, the “monitor only” response he says followed his report, and why he believes the government prefers silence over certainty. Beyond the encounter, Mr. W shared how decades alone in the wild sharpened his senses and shaped his respect for the land—and why he thinks patience, calm, and caution are essential in the backcountry.

Whether you land on undiscovered primate, misidentified wildlife, or something stranger, the conversation underscored a simple truth: the world stays interesting when we keep asking questions. If you’re heading into the woods—go in groups, carry a reliable light, and remember: maybe don’t make eye contact.
