On this special edition of The Early Gates Show (Real Sasquatch Stories), Jon (from ep 001) and I will be sharing an encounter we had while fishing in 2000.

Jon also tells a Ghost story that he has never shared publicly before.Sasquatch, also known as Bigfoot, is a legendary creature steeped in North American folklore, said to roam the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Towering, hairy, and elusive, this cryptid has captivated imaginations for centuries, with tales tracing back to Indigenous stories of wild men and giant apes like the Wendigo and Mogollon Monster. From J.W. Burns’ 1929 article introducing British Columbia’s “Hairy Giants” to modern eyewitness accounts of strange footprints, vocalizations, and shadowy sightings, Sasquatch remains an enduring mystery. Whether it’s curious encounters in the wilderness, unexplained wood knocks, or debates over its existence, these stories fuel cryptozoology and paranormal intrigue. Dive into the legacy of Bigfoot encounters—perfect for fans of unexplained phenomena, cryptid lore, and fascinating true tales.
