A lifelong Oklahoma outdoorsman shares the encounters that changed his life forever.

What started as a late-night fishing trip below Oologah Dam became years of escalating experiences across the Verdigris River region — including an 8-foot silhouette watching from the trees, glowing blue and red orbs approaching through the woods, piercing whistles in the darkness, and strange discoveries left behind at remote hunting sites.

Traton grew up hunting, fishing, and exploring northeastern Oklahoma. He knows these woods. He knows these rivers. He knows what belongs out there.

This episode dives deep into the hidden history of Oologah Lake, Lightning Creek, Nowata, and the untouched wilderness surrounding the Verdigris River system. Along the way, the conversation explores Native American traditions, unexplained activity tied to the region, and the growing connection many witnesses describe between Sasquatch encounters and strange lights in the wilderness.

If you enjoy firsthand Bigfoot encounters grounded in real outdoor experience, this is an episode you won’t forget.
