The Cryptid Podcast

When Chad was growing up, strange things didn’t just happen once…

They kept happening.

In this gripping episode of The Cryptid Podcast, host Dano sits down with Chad to uncover a lifetime of terrifying encounters that extend beyond a single sighting. From eerie childhood memories to experiences shared by multiple family members, a pattern begins to emerge — something was moving through the woods… and sometimes it came dangerously close to home.

Chad describes the night a massive Bigfoot was caught sneaking into the yard to take seed from a bird feeder — silent, deliberate, and far too intelligent to dismiss as simple wildlife. But the deeper you go into his story, the more unsettling it becomes.

Shadowy figures. Unexplained sounds in the darkness. And a chilling encounter with a creature Chad believes may have been the Rake — pale, unnatural, and unlike anything he had ever seen before.

Were these random moments…

Or was his family being watched?

If you’re drawn to Bigfoot encounters, cryptid sightings, eyewitness accounts, paranormal experiences, and unexplained creatures, this episode will pull you in from the very first minute.

Press play — and step into the unknown.

Because sometimes the scariest discoveries aren’t found deep in the wilderness…

They happen right outside your home.

Remember… sometimes the scariest encounters don’t end when you make it home.

She Saw it Watching Her

In June of 2024, Mindy stepped outside for what should have been a normal late-night walk with her dog… but within moments, she realized she wasn’t alone.

Standing across the street was a massive, upright creature unlike anything she had ever seen — wolf-like in appearance, locked onto her with an intense stare, and clearly aware of her presence. Mindy describes it as something straight out of a nightmare.

Shaken, she hurried back to her apartment, locked the door, and tried to calm herself.

Then it got worse.

From the other side of the door, she heard movement… and watched in absolute terror as the doorknob began to turn and violently shake, as if whatever she saw had followed her home.

Was this a Dogman encounter?
Something unknown?
Or something that should not exist at all?

Host Dano dives deep with Mindy as she recounts every chilling detail of a night she will never forget.

Some encounters don’t end when you make it home…

Not Bear Not Wolf

What John saw crossing a dark rural Pennsylvania road was massive… and completely unknown.

In this gripping episode of The Cryptid Podcast, Dano speaks with eyewitness John, who describes coming face-to-face with a creature he could only compare to a terrifying cross between a bear and a wolf. The encounter lasted only moments — but it left a lasting question:

What was it?

John also shares additional encounters from his own life, along with chilling stories passed down from his grandfather, suggesting these unexplained sightings may go back generations.

Some things in the wild don’t follow the rules…

and some are still waiting to be discovered.

I Knew I Was Being Watched

In this chilling episode of The Cryptid Podcast, host Dano sits down with Nick, who shares two disturbing encounters that have stayed with him since childhood.

At just 11 years old, Nick was living in rural Kentucky when he began to feel like something was watching him while in the woods. As he moved through the area, whatever was observing him kept its distance — roughly 70 yards away — always hidden, always silent.

The encounter escalated when Nick saw a massive creature slowly lift its head from a nearby creekbed, locking eyes with him before slipping back into cover. He believes it was intelligently following his movements, using the terrain to stay concealed.

Years later, Nick would experience another unsettling moment while visiting the infamous Land Between the Lakes (LBL) — an area known for decades of disturbing reports and unexplained encounters. What he experienced there only strengthened his belief that something unknown still roams those woods.

From childhood fear to adult realization, this episode explores two encounters that left lasting psychological impact — and raises the question…

What was watching him?

In this chilling episode of The Cryptid Podcast, host Dano sits down with Jay from Upstate New York, who shares a terrifying encounter that unfolded deep in the woods.

While walking out along a familiar trail, Jay rounded a bend and came face to face with something he never expected — a large female Bigfoot standing in a secluded pond. As he stood frozen, the creature slowly turned… and looked directly at him.

Jay breaks down the moment in vivid detail — the silence, the distance, the overwhelming sense of being observed. He also shares other encounters and strange experiences he’s had over the years, raising the question: was this a single sighting… or something that’s followed him?

A powerful firsthand account that proves some places in the woods are not meant to be disturbed.
