What happens when a Navy veteran and his friends take a late-night drive into the snowy wilderness of Mount Mitchell — and stumble across massive footprints that shouldn’t exist?

In this intense and thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Greg Zapp, who shares the story of a spontaneous 1993 trip into the remote North Carolina mountains that turned into a brush with the unexplained. With snow piling up and no one else around for miles, Greg and his friend found themselves face-to-face with 18-inch tracks in untouched snow — and the eerie sense that something was watching from the trees.

You’ll hear what happened as they raced back down the mountain, grabbed a camcorder, and returned to document the tracks. You’ll also hear how that night changed Greg’s understanding of the world — and why Mount Mitchell remains one of the East Coast’s best-kept secrets in the world of Sasquatch sightings.

This isn’t just a story about what they saw — it’s about what followed them home in memory, and why they can never forget it.

Featuring real locations like Buck Creek Campground, Little Switzerland, Fire Tower Road, and the Blue Ridge Parkway — this one will make locals listen twice and skeptics think twice.
