On this episode of The Cryptid Podcast, host Dano Hamilton talks with Jake from Michigan, who shares the haunting story of a Bigfoot encounter he had at just 15 years old.While walking alone down a quiet country road near his grandparents' home, Jake approached a T-intersection — and what he saw next would stay with him for life. Off to the side, near the brush, he noticed what he believed to be a bear. But as he paused to get a better look, the creature stood up on two legs, revealing an impossibly wide frame and a towering presence no black bear could match.Jake describes the sheer size, the upright posture, and the unnatural way the creature moved before it vanished into the woods. This wasn’t just a brief glimpse — it was a defining moment that left no doubt in his mind: he wasn’t looking at a bear.Join us as we dive deep into the details of this cryptid sighting, explore Jake’s thoughts years later, and discuss why so many similar stories keep surfacing from rural America Have a Cryptid story of your own?
