In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Matt from Oregon, an outdoorsman whose years in the forests, rivers, and mountains of the Pacific Northwest have placed him face to face with something he never expected. From the coastal mountains near Seaside to the shadowed stretches of Lolo Pass and the Columbia River Gorge, Matt shares a series of encounters that have unfolded over more than a decade.

What began with explosive wood knocks in a remote canyon while salmon fishing soon expanded into glowing eye shine along the Sandy River, massive tree breaks deep off logging roads, and unnerving activity near his campsites. As time went on, the encounters intensified — figures approaching his camp in the middle of the night, towering shapes stepping into view, and moments so close they left a lasting imprint on his life.

Matt also opens up about the deeper questions these experiences raised for him — the patterns he began noticing, the locations that seemed especially active, and the personal journey that ran parallel to his time in the woods. His story spans Mount Hood National Forest, Welch’s, Skamania County, and the rugged coastline of Oregon, painting a vivid picture of ongoing Sasquatch activity across some of the most storied regions in the Northwest.

Join us as we explore Matt’s gripping encounters and the mystery that continues to follow him through Oregon’s wild places.
