The Night the River Spoke: A Yurok Man’s Bigfoot Encounter

What happens when a man raised in the heart of Yurok country finally hears the creature he’s been told about since childhood — and it stops him cold in his tracks? In this gripping episode, we talk to Rich, a licensed clinical therapist and Yurok tribal member, who shares two unforgettable encounters with Bigfoot along the Klamath River in Northern California. You’ll hear how his great-grandmother passed down stories of the “wild people,” why his cultural upbringing made Bigfoot a given — not a question — and how one foggy night, that belief became terrifyingly real. With chilling vocalizations echoing across the river and an overwhelming sense of primal fear, Rich's story is raw, spiritual, and utterly unforgettable. We also explore sacred Yurok land, the meaning of “ridge runners,” and how the line between myth and reality isn’t always where you think. This one will stay with you.
