This week I remain in the Adirondacks to look at Bigfoot sightings near Sabbath Day Point in Warren County, New York! Two female hikers have rocks thrown at them by an unseen creature as they take the trail out of the woods, a man hears a Sasquatch talking to itself in a strange sing-song chatter and hears spooky screams on another night with his wife, a man camping with his friends sees Bigfoot walking up a hill at night as he gets up to use the bathroom, and a family sleeping in their cabin hears two creatures calling to each other from a nearby mountain. The Adirondack mountains are beautiful but spooky. Is Sabbath Day Point a hotspot for Bigfoot sightings?

It's time for another Paranormal Campfire Chat with my friend Josh Diaz! This time we are camping deep in the Silver Lake Wilderness area of the Adirondacks, near the ghost town of Whitehouse. Just yards from our campsite is the Whitehouse Cemetery, a small collection of gravestones from the mid to late 1800s. Josh and I discuss Bigfoot, other spooky cemeteries we've visited in the Adirondack Mountains like the Savarie graves at John Pond in the Siamese Ponds Wilderness, and the cemetery at Burnt-Rossman State Forest in the Catskills, and try to explore the ghost town. We also reminisce about our first camping trip to the Silver Lake Wilderness and the strange light I saw outside my tent that night. Grab your favorite beverage and pull your chair up to the campfire as we discuss all things strange and spooky!

After the phenomenal success of Jaws, other filmmakers smelled the blood in the water, making horror movies that essentially rip off the original film. So this week, John and I take a look at some of our favorite Jaws rip-offs! There's more sharks, killer whales, alligators & crocodiles, piranha, and even a grizzly bear! Plus we discuss how these films drew inspiration from historical events, cryptozoology, Forteana, and urban legends, like the shark attacks in Matawan Creek, New Jersey, and the alligators in the sewers of New York City! Are these rip-offs? Homages? Or simply inspired by Jaws? Let us know what you think in the comments!

🎥 Join us as we break down these horror classics and debate whether they were trying to cash in on Jaws' success or were just trying to survive in the same monstrous waters!

👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and ring the bell for more paranormal horror content and deep dives into cryptids, Forteana, and urban legends!
