Deep in the forests of Oregon, there’s a stretch of land that keeps drawing people back — Lolo Pass, the ridges around Mount Hood, and remote horse camps tucked far off dead-end roads.
In this episode of Bigfoot Society, I’m joined by Gary Allen of the Bigfoot Research Project, a longtime outdoorsman and field researcher who has experienced multiple Bigfoot encounters in the same Oregon backcountry locations over the course of several years. What begins as isolated moments slowly connects into something larger as he returns again and again.
Meadows, ridgelines, river crossings, and campsites near Mount Hood don’t stand alone. Patterns form. Certain locations respond. Certain routes feel watched. And some areas seem to wake up the longer you stay.
