What happens when a Florida hunter stumbles onto more than just deer in the palmettos? In this gripping and emotional episode, we sit down with Stephen, a traditional bow maker whose life was forever changed one Thanksgiving morning in 1995. Deep inside Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area, Stephen and his hunting partner came face to face with not one — but two Sasquatch, including a massive black female clutching what may have been a baby or a pregnancy.

Stephen recounts eerie moments from the swamps — snapped oak branches, thunderous bipedal chases, and the unforgettable sight of a bow-legged creature fleeing into the palmettos. We also trace his early childhood encounter in Massachusetts, the footprint discovery in Indiana, and the anxiety that followed these life-altering experiences.

From Island Pond to Johnson Slough, this episode digs into what it means to be a knower — and why one family of swamp apes left a hunter forever changed. More than just a sighting, this story raises questions about fear, belief, and the truths hiding in our forests.
