What happens when a retired teacher and musician takes his son deep into the forests between Strawberry and Twain Harte — and ends up staring into the eyes of something unexplainable?

In this gripping episode, we sit down with Dave Osborne — a seasoned outdoorsman and Bigfoot researcher whose encounters span decades and states. Dave recounts an unforgettable face-to-face experience in the Stanislaus National Forest, where glowing almond-shaped eyes blinked at him from the darkness, followed by guttural breath sounds and unexplained vanishing.

You’ll hear about mysterious whistles, tree breaks, massive footprints, and unnerving electronic disturbances at Bolan Lake — a fog-covered spot that left Dave mentally drained and physically shaken. From glowing orbs in Oregon’s Owl Moon Wilderness to peanut butter and jelly gifts disappearing under a hovering light in Del Norte County, this is a journey across the supernatural frontier of Bigfoot activity.

Don’t miss this wild ride — and the warning Dave gives for anyone brave enough to try and meet the forest's most elusive guardian.
