In this episode Brian narrates several stories, including one about  law enforcement officer Michael Thompson, who has dedicated 33 years to investigating the Bigfoot phenomenon. Accompanied by a cast made from a rare Sasquatch footprint from 1963, Michael shares his unwavering belief in the creature's existence, fueled by numerous eyewitness testimonies and unexplained footprints. This episode explores historical and contemporary reports of Bigfoot sightings across North America, discusses Michael's meticulous investigative methods, and delves into the cultural and scientific angles of cryptozoology. Despite skepticism, Michael remains committed to proving the reality of Bigfoot and continuing his relentless search for definitive evidence.

 Brian moves on to a story of a grandmother recounts raising her four grandchildren in a small New England town, detailing her work-life balance and the challenges her family faced. The story takes an unexpected turn when her grandchildren describe seeing a large, gorilla-like creature, which they later believe to be a 'Dogman'. This revelation is supported by past mysterious events such as the appearance of a large wolf and unusual animal prints. The narrative culminates in the realization that such cryptids might not be confined to forests but could be present in neighborhoods as well.
