Episode Description
Bigfoot Encounters in the Hoosier National Forest
Could Bigfoot actually be roaming around southern Indiana? It sounds wild at first given how populated the state is, but anyone who has spent real time out on the trails knows just how vast and isolated some of these woods really are.
In this episode, I speak with two local witnesses from Indiana who shared their eyewitness accounts right here in our backyard.
First, Angela recalls driving on I-64 near the Turkey Fork area right around dawn when she spotted a massive, solid black figure, at least 8 feet tall with wide shoulders, standing in the median. She watched it freeze before stepping directly into the thick tree line.
Then, Bill shares three separate experiences he had along the White River between 2017 and 2019. An experienced outdoorsman who knows the woods inside and out, Bill talks about hearing strange wolf-like howls ending in high-pitched squeals, seeing a massive gorilla-like silhouette watching him from behind saplings while squirrel hunting, and later hearing something extremely heavy crunching through the woods at Flat Rock while everything else went dead silent.
We talk about the logic behind these sightings, whether camera traps are missed because of infrared light, and why so many locals stay quiet about what they see out of fear of being ridiculed.
Give the episode a listen and let me know your thoughts in the comments. Have you ever experienced anything strange in the Hoosier National Forest?
