Episode Date: May 8, 2024

In this heart-stopping episode of Bigfoot Society, join us as we sit down with Dan, a seasoned hunter with a story that will leave you questioning what truly lurks in the wilderness of northern Idaho. Dan shares his harrowing encounter during the 2021 elk hunting season, a tale of unexplained phenomena, harrowing sounds, and a face-to-face meeting with something unimaginable. Told with gripping detail and raw emotion, Dan’s account is a journey through fear, awe, and the unbreakable human spirit. Venture with us into the secluded panhandle of Idaho, where Dan and his father set out for what was supposed to be a routine hunting trip. What followed was anything but ordinary. From the eerie silence of the wilderness to the startling discovery of a creature thought to exist only in legends, this episode is a must-listen for anyone fascinated by the mystery of Sasquatch and the unknown depths of our natural world. But this is more than just a story. It's an exploration into the psyche of a man faced with the incomprehensible, a testament to the resilience required to face one’s deepest fears, and a reminder that the world is far more mysterious than we can ever imagine.

Welcome to the Bigfoot Society in this special member's only episode. I talked to Dan about his encounter that happened in the Panhandle region of Idaho. It's a very intense encounter for a few different reasons and one that will not leave my mind.

hit it early, get down there and see, you know, get down there before even daylight and, you know, lay up somewhere. But I decided today I'm going to follow this game trail and I turned, had only gone a few steps and I hear these five distinct knocks. And the best way I could describe them,

it's like if you spelled it out in a comic book, TH-OK, fuck. Just five evenly spaced, fuck, fuck, and it was coming directly from one of those, what I could tell at first, probably the furthest clearing, somewhere down there. And I remember stopping and looking and going, what is someone doing down there beaten on a tree?

There's no people up here. This is horrible terrain that we haven't seen anybody in a couple days. And I just thought, okay, yeah, whatever, that's weird. I don't know. Sound carries, but sure, you know, sounds like it was about 250, 300 yards down slope. And I thought, like, I don't know what to do, but, you know. you know, time's, daylight's burning, I'm going to leave. And so I was. I was just going to keep falling the trail. And then I hear two more, fuck, fuck. And they're from the same

relative position. So I was like, okay, you know what? I haven't seen anything. This sounds weird. Let's go see what's going on. And at this point, I was just thinking, And if these are people, what would they be doing down there? This doesn't sound like someone cutting wood. It just sounds like someone taking a big, you know, a big chunk of wood and just whacking it on a tree. I'm like, this doesn't make any sense. But, all right, let's go find out what it is. I'm bored.

So I start going down the slope. And like I said, it would go in steps. So slope down and then hit a little bit of grass. in that first little patch I actually saw elk sign. It was a little bit old, but it was there. And I stopped because I'm trying to listen for additional sounds. I'm looking down there to see if there's movement.

And it's just still, absolutely still calm day. The only day up there that was even remotely like that, hardly even a blade of grass was moving. And I went through that same thought process. Like, what the heck is this? You know, I should probably just turn around and go back up slope. So probably five minutes went by because I'm looking and listening, you know, and then whack, I hear it again. So now I'm like, okay, now I have to go figure out what's doing this.

So my brain switched from, this might be a person down there doing who. knows what to i don't know what type of animal you know i've hunted in the pacific northwest my whole life what animal could do that but i thought that's the only thing that makes sense at this point i can't imagine a person somehow getting up on this mountain not being visible to us on the only road which we were at the the terminal point of that road and what would they be doing down there doing something like that it just didn't make sense so i'm going through animals, maybe a bear's messing with a log, maybe something's kicking a tree, whatever, I'm going to find out. So I start walking down again. And I'm stopping frequently. I had kind of gone

into stalking mode, so I'm walking very quietly, you know, trying not to even break the crust on the snow, that little skiff of snow too much. And listening, listening, I hear nothing. The wind's not blowing. I started thinking maybe it's a tree that's bumping into another tree, but I would stop and look and a slight breeze, maybe five mile an hour breeze would come up, but hardly enough to even wiggle, like I said, grass. So, okay, that's weird. That's not it. But I'm not hearing anything so I'm like I once again maybe I should just turn around forget this happened and you know come back tomorrow and then I get another single knock so okay well whatever it is it's still down there doing whatever it's doing I'm gonna keep going and this repeats itself

again and I get a third knock and I'm repeating the same process I started moving so quietly and slowly because I wanted, I started getting this weird feeling that these knocks were only coming when I was stopped. And that didn't make any sense, but I wasn't hearing them while I was walking. And once again, this whole distance was about 250, maybe 300 yards. And this whole time, me closing on where I thought the sound was coming from, ended up being about 50, minutes. So you can see that I wasn't, I wasn't rushing and bashing through trees and obscuring any sound. I'm listening. And it, I never got, I never heard that sound until I had been stopped for minutes. And then I would get a single sound and that would keep me going. And by the time I had

gotten the fourth knock and it, once again, just repeated itself like that, whole pack. And it, I was now getting down off the slope and into level ground towards that grassy area. And now, you know, I'm probably 50, 50, 60 yards out from this grassy area. And at the end of it was basically a wall of young trees of different height. And as I got, I heard that last single fourth knock, it really. really sounded to me like it was coming from somewhere behind that screen of trees. So, okay, well, it's totally obscured for me. I mean, what's behind there's obscured.

So I'm like, okay, right. Well, I guess I'm going to have to go right up to it and figure out what this is somehow. So I'm level. I'm walking. And to my right, there's this little, I describe it as a half. a long half pipe in the ground. It's just, if it was runoff, boy, it cut a nice smooth little gulch there. But I knew that in order to get into this clearing, I'd have to cross that.

And once I crossed that, all the trees that I thought I was using as cover, there was intermittent trees that I was trying to move behind a little bit. Because my thinking is, oh, I'm going to sneak up on some animal doing something weird. let's be quiet and see what it's doing and how it's making that sound. And so I'm getting closer. And when I reach the edge of that little dip in the ground, I stop and go, okay, once you cross this, you are now in the clearing and you're out in the wide open.

So if something's back there, it can possibly see you. So I'm just kind of like, okay, getting ready, you know, I had my rifle to my, not up, but it a low ready. So buttstock in my shoulder, muzzle down towards the ground. And I take a deep breath. I'm like, all right, here we go. And right as I'm about to do that comes, I can only describe it like a slow rate of fire machine gun. but it's the deep wood knocks just boom boom as fast I mean like a machine gun and but loud deep not like a stick cracking against a tree but the same deep thick sounding knocks but just like

rapid fire and I just was like what the heck is going on here and I'm like okay well And I remember saying this in my head. I'm like, well, it's definitely behind those trees because that's where that sound came from. And so I'm like, all right. Oh, boy. And now I'm getting a little nervous because I'm like, I can't see into those trees. So maybe I should kind of skirt out into this clearing and work my way around. The trees kind of went in a, imagine a capital J and I was below the foot of the

and the trees kind of arced around. And I thought, okay, I'll loop around and just keep some distance from these trees in case some animal comes barreling out at me. So take a deep breath, get the rifle steady, you know, once you get not pointing it. You know, those rules of gun safety. I've been handling guns since I was four. I didn't have a target. I didn't know what was back there. I'm not going to point my firearm at anything.

Take a deep breath and I step out into the open and it was like I made it maybe two, three steps. And this thing, I tried describing it to someone else. It was like having a bomb go off right in front of me. This thing, I don't know what the hell it was swinging, but it must have been picked up a small tree and just, the force and violence behind this was just a kaboom. I mean, it just smashed into, I don't know. It floored me. I mean, I literally, if someone could have caught me on video,

I just stumbled backwards, almost tripped and fell over. I've got all my gear on my back, my rifle slung in, and I just staggered back in shock. and I look up and it all, you know, all I could see was the chest up.
