Former Marine Investigates Gifford Pinchot Forest Where Bigfoot Screams Forced Him Out
In this episode of Bigfoot Society, host Jeremiah Byron welcomes Richard D. Priest, Jr., a former U.S. Marine Corps veteran with special operations, reconnaissance, and intelligence training, for a wide-ranging and deeply personal discussion about his decades-long experiences with unexplained phenomena, culminating in multiple encounters inside Washington State’s Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
Richard begins by outlining his military background, including behind-enemy-lines communications work, special sections training, and reconnaissance experience. He explains how these skills shaped his approach to analyzing anomalous encounters, threat assessment, and field operations. He then recounts how his interest in non-human intelligence began years ago through contact with individuals claiming off-planet communications, leading to research into remote wilderness locations suitable for controlled encounters.
The conversation covers Richard’s belief that some non-human entities operate from underground and underwater facilities, using advanced technology such as teleportation, surveillance, and directed-energy systems. He describes a past incident in which he believes he was injured by a directed-energy weapon, an event that caused him to sever contact with certain individuals and reevaluate the risks involved.
Richard then connects this broader context to his Bigfoot experiences, explaining why he believes Sasquatch may not be an undiscovered primate, but instead non-human intelligences tasked with guarding sensitive locations, including underground access points. He discusses why Bigfoot encounters often involve sudden appearances, disappearing trackways, vocal intimidation, and avoidance of sustained visual contact.
