Leanne shares the final Bigfoot experience of her aunt, Sherri Lynn Windsor, which took place in rural Tennessee during a deeply emotional period of her life. While working as a caregiver for an elderly couple and living alone in a small cottage surrounded by woods, Sherri began noticing large footprints outside her windows and an unsettling feeling of being watched.

 Months later, while driving home one night with the man she would later marry, the two witnessed a massive creature on all fours run from the forest and collide with a passing vehicle—only to stand up, shake itself, and disappear back into the woods.

After that night, the footprints around her cottage stopped completely.2

In October of 2018, a hunter accepts a last-minute invitation to use a secluded tree stand deep in the woods. What begins as a tense personal situation quickly turns into something far worse when he realizes he isn’t alone — and whatever is watching him knows exactly where he is. What followed was not a chase… but a game.

We boondocked near Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia—and something massive surrounded our RV all night. Rocking, roof steps, scratches… and when we tried to leave, a log came through the windshield. We saw yellow eyes in the trees once. That was enough.

Twenty years ago, an 8-year-old boy went hunting with his grandfather for the first time—excited, proud, and ready to learn the rules of the woods. Grandpa wasn’t just teaching hunting… he was teaching character: proper etiquette, careful shots, and respect for the animals they harvest. Grandma packed their sandwiches and snacks like it was a family tradition—and for the first half of the day, it was.

But when an unbearable stench rolls into the deer blind and the forest goes dead quiet, everything changes. Footsteps move behind the blind. Grandpa’s face turns to fear. Rocks begin slamming into the wood, growls circle them, and then the impossible happens: the entire blind is lifted and swung through the air, landing 10–12 feet away like it weighs nothing. Grandpa whispers that he’s known the “booger” has been around these parts for years—but he never thought it would show itself like this… in daylight… with a child present. What follows is a desperate sprint to the road while dodging logs and rocks being thrown with violent accuracy. The truck is still hundreds of feet away. Grandpa is running out of breath. Then a whistle cuts through the air—and the creature steps onto the road behind them.

With the keys in the boy’s hand and the order to lock himself inside no matter what he sees, the grandson faces a moment that still haunts him decades later… especially when he spots another one crossing behind the truck.

Carrie S. grew up in 1970s New York City with an unexplainable obsession with Bigfoot — one she kept secret for years out of fear of being ridiculed. Everything changed when she discovered her family once lived in Skamania County, Washington, a place deeply connected to her childhood dreams.

Years later, a trip back into the forests near Stevenson led to a life-changing encounter with beings who called themselves The People — and who claimed they had known Carrie long before she remembered them.

This is a story about connection, memory, and a bond that began before words. Listener discretion advised.

After hearing a story on Blast From the Past, Tonya realized that something she experienced as a teenager may not have been as unexplainable as she once believed.

 In the summer of 1985, while camping with her family on a remote lake in northwestern Florida, a quiet evening walk with her two-year-old brother turned into an encounter she would never forget. Strange glowing orbs appeared over the cattails, moving with purpose and curiosity. Moments later, a coyote approached the dock — only to be distracted by the lights themselves.

 Later that night, as the fire burned low, Tonya saw something else watching from the woods. A small, human-like figure with unusual features, accompanied by a floating white light that seemed almost aware of her presence.

Decades later, after hearing a similar account, she began to wonder if what she witnessed that night could have been connected to Florida’s long-standing legends of the Skunk Ape… or something even stranger.

Tonight’s story is about memory, mystery, and the moments in our lives that only make sense years later.
