In this chilling Bigfoot Society episode, a Pennsylvania witness comes forward with a life-changing encounter deep in the woods near Alden Reservoir, Tomko Road, and Davis Street in the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre area. Frank recounts the unforgettable night he and his friends were camping at a spot they simply called “The Spot.” What began as a normal weekend in the Northeastern Pennsylvania mountains quickly turned terrifying when they experienced strange sounds, trees pulled across trails, and an encounter with something far larger—and far more intelligent—than anything they expected.
Frank shares the exact locations tied to his experience, including Witkis Villa, Holly Street, and the surrounding ridgelines and creek areas. He also reveals unsettling local lore about mysterious small creatures said to inhabit the woods, and the disturbing reaction of longtime mountain residents when he accidentally spoke an unfamiliar word linked to these legends.
If you’re interested in real Sasquatch encounters, Bigfoot sightings in Pennsylvania, Appalachian creature stories, or unexplained wilderness phenomena, this episode dives deep into a firsthand account that still haunts the witness decades later.
