Do you believe in Bigfoot?

Because after this episode… you just might.

In the latest episode of Dark Woods Paranormal, we share two listener encounters that couldn’t be more different — but both will make you think.

First, there’s Dave and his wife Liz. They were out in the woods one evening doing an investigation when something massive made its presence known. What happened that night genuinely shook them — and turned them into believers.

Then there’s Janet.

Janet lives on a large piece of rural property that’s been in her family for years. And according to her… she hasn’t just had one encounter.

She believes she’s been visited by the same Bigfoot — thirty to forty times.

Not a passing sighting. Not a shadow in the trees.

Repeated activity. Familiar patterns. An ongoing presence on her land.

Two very different experiences.

One legendary creature.

If you’ve ever wondered whether Bigfoot could be real… this episode is for you.
