  • Massachusetts Bigfoot Encounter in Franklin County

    Massachusetts Bigfoot Encounter in Franklin County

    When Christian from Massachusetts set out to investigate reported Bigfoot activity in Franklin County, he expected footprints or distant knocks — but what unfolded over the next few days pushed this encounter into a whole different realm.

    Joining Dano on The Cryptid Podcast, Christian walks us through a multi-day surge of Sasquatch activity deep in the Massachusetts woods. The turning point came when the calm forest erupted with the unmistakable sound of a massive tree being pushed over. No storm. No wind. Just immense force — and the creeping realization that something powerful was close.

    But the activity didn’t stop there. Over several days, Christian and a friend experienced repeated signs that a Bigfoot was nearby, moving with intention, reacting to their presence, and keeping just out of sight. Heavy movement, pacing, and environmental changes all pointed to the same conclusion: something enormous was staying close.

    In this episode, Dano and Christian break down:

    • The multi-day pattern of Bigfoot activity in Franklin County

    • The massive tree fall and what it reveals about Sasquatch behavior

    • Consistent signs of a close-range Bigfoot presence

    • Why Western Massachusetts may be an underrecognized hotspot

    • How Christian processed and documented each moment

    This is a grounded, detailed, and compelling look at a real encounter that escalated day after day — and one you won’t forget anytime soon.

  • Two UFOs and the Time Rift

    Two UFOs and the Time RiftApril joins Dano on The Cryptid Podcast to recount an encounter so vivid, so massive, and so bizarre that it stayed buried in her memory until years later — when the missing piece of the puzzle finally clicked into place.While living in Northern California, April witnessed two extraordinary UFOs on the same night. The first was a huge glowing green sphere, silently drifting along treetop level like it was surveying the landscape. No sound. No wind. Just an otherworldly green presence cutting through the dark.Then came the second craft — a gigantic mothership, partially concealed inside thick, churning clouds. Only parts of its structure were visible, but enough to know it dwarfed anything she’d ever seen. It moved with slow, deliberate motion, like a floating city hidden in the sky.But the true strangeness didn’t hit April until years later.On that same night, she remembered being about twenty minutes away from her exit… then, instantly, she was at her exit with no memory of the in-between, and she arrived home fifteen minutes later than normal. At the time, she brushed it off.But looking back — after revisiting the memory of those two massive UFOs — she realized she had lived through a missing-time event. A gap in her journey that should not exist… yet did.This is a rare case involving multiple large craft, silent low-altitude movement, and a time distortion recognized only years after the encounter — a textbook pattern in high-strangeness UFO incidents.

  • Sasquatch Shadowed My Hunt

    When Derin from Northern Alabama set out on a solo three-day hunt, he expected quiet woods, long waits, and the usual rhythm of the wilderness. What he didn’t expect was a Sasquatch shadowing his every move — silently, deliberately, and with a presence impossible to ignore.

    In this episode, Dano sits down with Derin as he recounts the moment he realized he wasn’t alone… and the chilling pattern that followed over the next several days. From distant movement to close-range visuals, something massive lingered around his hunting area, circling the tree line and watching with an intelligence Derin could feel in his bones.

    This isn’t a campfire exaggeration. This is a hunter’s raw account of being tracked by something that shouldn’t exist — and the experience that changed how he walks into the woods forever.

    No drama added. No sugar-coating.Just what happened… exactly as he lived it.

    Buckle up. This one stays with you.

  • The Legless Thing in the Road

    John — host of Myths, Monsters and Mullets — was driving home late at night with his wife when he witnessed something that shattered his sense of reality. On a silent stretch of country road, the headlights caught something impossible: a legless humanoid torso rising up out of the asphalt, as if the road itself was pushing it into the world.

    Its skin was ghost-pale and stretched tight over bone. Its arms were long, skeletal, and reaching. And its face… a smooth, horrific void with no nose, no mouth, and two hollow black eye sockets staring straight through the beam of the headlights. John’s wife didn’t see a thing — but he did. And what he saw left him speechless.

    When the car drew closer, the entity suddenly lunged toward the vehicle, snapping forward with unnatural speed. It vanished just as quickly — no sound, no trace, no explanation. But later, when John inspected the car, he found deep scratches gouged into the side of the vehicle, exactly where the creature would have made contact.

    This encounter shook John to his core, and tonight he joins Dano on The Cryptid Podcast to tell it exactly as it happened — raw, unfiltered, and unforgettable. This is one of the most disturbing roadside encounters ever brought to the show, defying cryptid categories, ghost lore, and even physical reality.

    Buckle up. This one stays with you.

  • Florida Skunk Ape Slaughters Bull

    Florida Skunk Ape Slaughters BullWhen Al was 12 years old visiting his sister in southern Florida, he and his cousin found themselves caught in a multi-day encounter that still wakes him up at night.

    It began when both boys saw a towering Skunk Ape slowly walking alongside the house at dusk.

    As they crept from room to room trying to keep sight of it, the creature tracked them with unbroken, unsettling focus, watching the house through every window as if it knew exactly where the boys stood.

    The days that followed only grew stranger. A nearby horse farm was rocked by unexplained disturbances, powerful enough to shake the adults, and each night the ranch felt more and more like something was circling it.

    But the breaking point came when a bull was found brutally killed in the pasture — torn apart with a level of force no Florida predator could match.

    And there, at the edge of that same pasture, deep in the swamp grass, Al saw it again: the Skunk Ape standing among the cattails, motionless, watching the property as if claiming the ground it had destroyed. The image burned into him — the wet cattails, the dark silhouette, and those eyes fixed on the ranch.

    Years later in New York, Al would face something just as terrifying — a Dogman encounter that carried the same eerie intelligence, the same predatory awareness, and the same feeling that something was watching him, not the other way around.

    If you’re into Skunk Ape sightings, bull mutilations, horse farm incidents, Dogman encounters, and real eyewitness cryptid testimony, this episode is going to hit you right in the gut.

  • Shadow Stalker of Texas

    Shadow Stalker of Texas

    Tyler returns to The Cryptid Podcast with a chilling update from deep inside Texas brush country. The strange activity around his home hasn’t just continued — it’s escalated. From heavy movement in the juniper thickets to the unmistakable feeling of being watched, something out there is growing bolder. But this time, it didn’t end at his property. 

    While working a remote job site miles away, Tyler and his business partner both witnessed a massive shadowed creature staring at them from the scrub. Its posture, its size, its presence — unmistakable. 

    Whatever’s haunting his home is now showing up where he works. In this intense, high-tension interview, Dano digs into what’s changed, why the creature is showing itself more often, and how two grown men found themselves frozen under the weight of those unblinking eyes in the Texas wild. 

    This is one of the most unnerving Texas Bigfoot sightings ever brought to the show — and the story isn’t over.

    Bipedal Beast of Telluride

    When Aaron set out for a quiet trip in the rugged mountains near Telluride, Colorado, he never expected to come face-to-face with a massive bipedal creature — walking upright, towering over the pines, and radiating sheer primal power. The encounter shook him to his core… but that wasn’t the only time the unknown found him.

    In this gripping episode of The Cryptid Podcast, host Dano sits down with Aaron as he recounts two chilling experiences — the night his camper was violently struck by something unseen, and a separate UFO sighting on Colorado’s Western Slope that defies explanation. Together, they unravel how these moments connect to the growing wave of strange phenomena across the Rockies — from Bigfoot to lights in the sky.

    Could the Bipedal Beast of Telluride be part of something far bigger?
