Episode Date: March 15, 2026

Something is moving through the Ohio woods, and it's not alone. Eight reported Bigfoot sightings in five days have turned a quiet stretch of northeast Ohio into ground zero for the cryptid world, and the story has gone viral. Fox News, Newsweek, NewsNation, and the New York Times, among other major outlets, have all picked up the story. Blurry Creatures and The Bigfoot Society are crossing over for a deep dive into one of the most concentrated and bizarre clusters of Bigfoot activity in recent memory, the Ohio Flap. Multiple witnesses. Unfamiliar sounds. Evidence that doesn't fit the typical profile. We're breaking it all down together — the sightings, the patterns, the theories, and the question nobody wants to answer out loud. What is happening in Ohio?   Learn more about your ad choices.

And when you are pouring your dog food and your dog's bowl, that's the last thing you want to say. What is that? What is the stuff coming out of this bag? You know, I don't think a lot of us think about maybe what we feed our dogs. And that's why we partner with rough greens. Most of us would love to have our dogs, you know, live as long as possible. I mean, I just lost my dog in December. And I would have just, I would have loved more time with Carl. And one of the things you can do to get more time with your dog is to feed them better. Dog owners don't usually realize that live nutrients, that their dog needs to thrive or missing from the food. You just talked about. What is that, right? That's where Rough Green comes in.

I'm giving it to our two dogs. You know, I've got older dogs, Nate, as I said. And so, you know, since they've been getting rough greens with their food, I've noticed they have more energy, their joints hurt less, they're older. I mean, they were talking 12 and 13 years old. And Rough Greens really made a difference in their energy levels and the pep in their step. So if you want to do what we did, you can get a free jumpstart trial bag for your dog today.

I was like, did you notice anything about the face? And she's like, it was weird.

Because I was looking at the face, but like I couldn't see it because it was all blurry. And like everything was together. But I was like, oh, that's so it. So it was kind of like she was having a hard time describing it. But she used the actual words like it looked blurry in the face. A blurred face. Brown around the face. Facial hair was lighter than the rest of it.

Very, very weird stuff. They go to open the door. The dog starts freaking out, lunges towards the tree lines. line in the back of the house. And the guy looks out there and he's like, he's like, I can see something in the back tree line. And it's a dark, shadowy figure. And it's big.

And I'm like, he says, you know, I got bear on my property. And I was like, well, well, how did you know it wasn't a bear? Sir. And he's like, there's no bear around here that are nine to 10 feet tall. Bigfoot's on the move. He's out there. He's hanging out in Ohio. And today we're bringing on Jeremy Byron.

from Bigfoot Society who's been hot on the trail and getting hundreds of emails from people. New York Times even called him Luke and Babylon Bee made a meme about it. The guy is out there living the dream and it's cool that he's dedicated lane into the Bigfoot space. So we're going to bring him on and we're going to ask him all the questions. What's going on Ohio? Because a lot of our listeners are like, you need to do something. What's the news? But he's got all the, it's got a map on his website. He's got everything ready to go. So Luke, what is it? Breaking news doesn't have this is like breaking news and then and we have to talk to the guy that really put the with the dots on the map and and and launched the story talking to New York Times talking to Fox News talking to

the all these major news outlets and the whole world's like looking at this going what's going on in Ohio yeah and why we have in these the string of sightings of Bigfoot and so we're going to get into it today with the guy that's that's boots in the ground that's making the reports drawn the maps and is really broke the story. We're going to do a blurry Bigfoot Society crossover. That's right, man. If you like it, you know, join each side and get blurry or you can get, get, get in the Bigfoot Society and learn a lot more about the Big fella.

But he's out there. Baby, we're going back to our roots. This show started with Bigfoot and we're going right back, baby. Let's get him on and figure out what's going on in Ohio. We have Jeremiah Byron on, and we're going to ask him the first question. Jeremiah, is this? this heaven? Or is this Iowa? What up, guys? Glad to be here. It's Iowa. But thank you for reaching out and being like, hey, can we do something? And I'm like, yeah, we can do something.

Because, man, Nate, we were just talking like, we talked like 900 episodes ago on the Bigfoot Society podcast. And like, Luke, it's great to meet you. Finally. It's so good to be here, man. It's a meeting of the minds here. Welcome to Blair creatures. Beautiful. And we started with Bigfoot, and we're going back. So tell us what's going on. What are your thoughts on Bigfoot? But you have probably more thoughts than most. I have a lot of thoughts.

Well, I look at it a few different ways, guys. So, you know, with my podcast Bigfoot Society, like why I do it is I provide a place for people to share their encounters and work through it and kind of get through that trauma. But over the last few years, like I have gotten out in the woods and myself and like things have gotten weird and they've gotten blurry and dudes like I don't know

what it is out there but like there is something I think how I view it is it's a physical creature because I've seen the tracks I've seen something that peeled a banana that was left in the woods 30 miles out in Oregon and then it ate it and left a 17 inch

track near the tree and like I've seen some blurry stuff dude so I think it's like some kind of physical creature that can just do some quantum science. I don't know what kind of stuff, but it gets weird, man. Yeah. I love it, dude.

Quantum League. Almost nobody more qualified to give us their thoughts on Bigfoot. I love to, you know, it's funny, Jeremiah, we've done this for the show now for 400 and something episodes, and it's heard out as like, you know, honest opinions from guys like Dr. Jeff Meldrum and... Rest and peace.

The late grade. Yeah, the late grade. And some of those early Bigfoot folks that we had on the show, but now it's become more of an ice. breaker because you're asking theologians and whoever, man, I mean, Dusty Sleigh, Hardy, we're asking all these guys

what they think about Bigfoot, but it's fun to get back to it and be like, Dusty Slay, nice. Deal? Yeah. We had an interesting answer. We try to get, we try to get the broader community into the nerdery

that is Bigfoot, but you, I love it. You go headlong into the data, talking to the people. Every day is Bigfoot for you. And listen, dude, it is hot right now, dude. This is crazy.

I mean, it's, what's going on? All the major news outlets are covering these something's going on in Ohio. Yeah, what's happening? You've been running around a suit? What are you doing out there? Dude, it's so much.

It is so much. And I didn't, man, I just got, I just got probably tell the story. Like, all right. So here's how it goes, right? So we're just going to launch into it. So for social media stuff on Bigfoot Society, when there's a online Bigfoot database

that does reports. right and I'm like I'll make a video about that that'll be great for the channel you know it'd be fun get the word out right and usually it's kind of like not much response so on the 6th of March which one is when this all started in manaway center Ohio North East Ohio right so there is an individual and this is over on the Bigfoot mapping project which is a great Bigfoot map site you got check that out so he took a report or got sent into his website there where the individual had seen a a large bipedal cryptid, a big foot, about nine foot tall, brown, and it was about 120 yards from them, and it started moving away because it knew that it was there. So I made the video, and then the next day, I got someone reached out on TikTok, and I was like, oh, that's weird.

So I was talking to this guy, and he was like, yeah, we had a sighting on the 7th at 1052 p.m. We were just kind of hanging out, walking around on this trail, and there was something with heavy footsteps deeper in the trees. Steps were slow, spaced out, much heavier. And then they saw what they're saying is a eight-foot-tall, brown-haired Sasquatch. And that pretty much did a deep grunt, the echoed through the woods, and they stepped back, right? So I was like, that's weird.

And then, like, you don't get those doubles like that. Usually I make one about Oregon, and then it's business as usual, right? So then on the 9th is where it got pretty wild. So there was another report on the Bigfoot mapping project in Garrettsville, which is you're going east. If you're looking at the map that I've put together, you're headed east. And you're headed east about three miles. This whole siting corridor is about 12 miles long. So Garrettsville, and this one's kind of a short one.

There's an individual that was like, I was walking through the woods. I saw an eight-foot black Sasquatch looking creature, got scared. And so really basic. But I was like, you know what? I'm going to throw it out here because this needs to be documented and there's a pattern showing up, right? So then this individual reached out to me on TikTok and they were like, yeah, an hour ago, around 1147, and this gentleman wants to be anonymous, we had this wild thing happen. And I was like, would you talk on the phone? Because at this point, I'm like, I got to start talking to people on the phone and make sure if this is legit or like just people that are sending in reports.

and and you know maybe it's just a coincidence right I need to need to really look into this so talk to this guy he was shook up he was in Garethville hiking on this trail called Headwaters Trail

and the story goes that they had they saw a they saw a 10 foot tall black-haired Sasquatch that was in the woods and I was like did you see anything weird about this guy like was he doing anything weird and the witness was like well he's about 30 feet away

it grunted at us and when it turned it didn't turn its neck to look it had to turn its shoulders and I was like oh man okay it's party time and then I was like is there anything else and the guy was like well

it looked like he was on stilts and he's just acting he was walking weird the way he was walking was very weird and I was like okay so I'm trying to like you know process through this and then a few hours later I get another contact. This time it's starting to come through email. I'm like, oh, man. And like more and more and more showing up. Same day, March 9th at 6 p.m. This time we're over in Wyndham. So it's

starting to move southeast now, just a few miles away. This older lady is in her house. She's a skeptic. She's looking through the window at the woods outside. She says approximately 100 feet away from the house, she sees a six-foot-tall brown Sasquatch run out of the neighbor's woods and then run back into the neighbor's woods. Her quote was, this is pretty cool. She says, I know what I saw, but I don't know what I saw. And I was like, oh, man, that is like so wild. That's so telling of, like, she's just very, and I'm talking to, she's there, her daughter is there and, like, they're emotional. They're worked up. They're like, I don't know what's going on, like what we saw.

So there's that. And then a little bit later in the week, I got another report from March 9th. So same day, but this is at 8 p.m. If you look on the map, it's further west over by Streetsboro. But what happened was this lady and her daughter driving their car from Streetsboro to Hudson.

And they're driving down the road by Tinker's Creek. And all of a sudden, there's this big foot walking down, the road in their lane of traffic towards them and it's to the point where like it's doing the weird like kind of bent forward or leaning forward and stilted

type walks. So two forms that stilted right there are two witnesses and she's like I had to like swerve to get out of the way and my daughter if she had put her arm out the window she would have hit it with her arm. It was so close. It was like a few feet away. Here's

the part where it gets blurry gentlemen because I told you before. I was like, don't worry. There's a little bit blurriness about it. I was like, did you notice anything about the face? And she's like, it was weird because I was looking at the face, but like, I couldn't see it because it was all blurry. And like everything was together. But I was like, oh, that, so it was kind of like, she was having a hard time describing it. But she used the actual words like, it looked blurry in the face. A blurred face. Brown around the face. Facial hair was lighter than the rest of it. Very, very weird stuff. Then we move on to the next day. So now we're on

the 10th. We're continuing to go further southeast to Newton Township. So this is the 10th. It's early morning. I'm getting tons of email now. I'm getting... Real quick. So I was I was curious, maybe some listeners are too. We looked up Portage County, Ohio. I just did it here so I could orient myself. Garretsville is 45 miles southeast of Cleveland. and 35 miles northeast of Akron. So we're talking about a region between Cleveland and Akron. Is that correct as far? So I'm trying to picture in my head.

Okay, so where in Ohio are we? Like, is that sound? Yeah. So this is a great, great question, actually. No one's really asked this. So if you go to Bigfoot Society podcast.com and siting map, I have these on map pins as well. But so pretty much we're looking at, you look at Cleveland,

and then you go due east of Cleveland. And it's like that area between Cleveland and Youngstown. That's where it's happening. Okay. All right. That's good. So this is, yeah, if anyone's been to Cleveland, oh, yeah.

Got out mistake by the lake. You know, let's see, we're not too far from Cleveland Rocks. You know I'm talking about. No, listen, people are, hey, in Cleveland, people understand, right? There's two seasons. There's winter and then there's road construction. So all my Cleveland people stand up. It's, but yeah, I was just trying to worry myself because, you know, I always.

Thank you. Yeah. But okay. It continues. So we make it to the 10th. We may get into the 10th. Let me make some at this point. Like, you know, there's a lot of folks that make reports.

And right, of course, the skeptics first question is always, or first responses. Like, it's misstatification. We're looking at like, there's bears out there, black bears. Those kind of things. You know, when you're taking these reports and when you're talking to people, you know, how do you zero in on like being like, like, let's eliminate a couple of things here so we're not there were a couple things i heard from you was one is like a bear turns its neck i've seen enough bears i'm from northern california they don't have to move their whole

body you know to look at you that's how patty looked she just turns her whole body dude yeah just beef kicked dude nice yeah just a linebacker out there there's just like yeah like yeah like she got a cowboy collar on they're just moving her neck yeah um continue though but that's well yeah how are you working away to be like, hey, this feels like the best you can't authentic. Have you drawn a map? Have you drawn the line? Oh, I have, I've drawn. Okay, so I was like,

this is so crazy. I got to go full scale draw a map guy on this. And I've, I was like, man, I'm putting stuff in like Canva and I'm going all. Like, I'm not a graphics guy, but I was like, this time I'm being graphics guy. And it is like, it has been very

effective because I, I can send it over to you guys too. sure um but yes so Nate or Luke as you as you asked so one thing I was asking uh these witnesses when I'm talking to him because I'm talking to everyone on the phone now and I'm like uh you know one of the questions and this actually comes in to play with the new newton township one which is on the 10th you'll find out about that actually right now so uh there's a gentleman where he he sends an email to me and I'm having to shift through tons of emails right now uh there There's a lot of like AI generated stuff you can tell because it's got the M dashes and like,

not this, but this. And I'm like, okay, fake. And then a lot of like old pictures that are from the early 2000s. I'm having to do reverse image shirts and Google on these things. And so there's a lot of like pre-work to get to the point where I'm like, okay, this sounds, you know, kind of good. I'm going to see you feel he even gave me in phone numbers. So the Newton Township, Anonymous individual, he reaches out early on the time. 10th and I'm like, hey, can I have your phone number? Because it's very like straightforward, very

short statement. I need to talk to someone. And I'm like, okay, I got a feeling. So I talk to this guy. He is super emotional. He's worked up. He's like, I want to be anonymous and I just never want, this is it. I'm talking one time and this is it, right? So 4 a.m., he gets up. He has to take his German Shepherd out. They hit, they go to open the door. the dog starts freaking out, lunges towards the tree line in the back of the house. And the guy looks out there and he's like, I can see something in the back tree line. And it's a dark, shadowy figure. And it's big.

And I'm like, he says, you know, I got bear on my property. And I was like, well, how did you know it wasn't a bear, sir? And he's like, there's no bear around here that are nine to ten feet tall. Wow. And I'm like, okay, so that's pretty substantial. So he immediately's like, we got to get back inside. This is wild. When they get back inside, the German Shepherd dog is shaking uncontrollably.

It's never done that before. It is just freaking out. And so that's 310 at 4 a.m. Right? So that's Newton Township. A little bit later, I take a report. where it's an older anonymous lady and she's very salt of the earth, very straightforward, very, like, you know, I'm not messing around. This is what happened. I just want to figure it out. And you'd want to have her on your side, right? So it's down in the Lake Milton area. So again, we went east, now southeast, and it's kind of going down there. So what happened was she saw something that looked reddish-brown, rust-colored. It was about six. seven feet tall and it was 200 feet away from her house. She was looking out from the window

in her house and it was going towards the pond in the backyard, under a tree and the under brush and it disappeared in the woods. And I was like, did it vanish completely or did it just go into the brush? And she was like, it went into the brush. Did not vanish. Okay. Because if it's blurry, you got to ask, right? So she's like, I saw a view of the side of the back. It wasn't shaped like a deer because I was starting to ask this question, Luke, that you brought up. I was like, I gotta start asking because there's bear out there. I was like, why would you say this was not a bear?

She was like, few things. The color, the big fat, round arms, and very, very muscular. So those are the three things that she pointed out. She was like, I haven't checked the area for tracks because she's been busy. It was also

leaning forward as it ran, so it's on two legs. Big deal there. She's like, I just feel curious about what the heck it could have been. That's what she said. So that is the eight sightings that happened in five days from March 6th to March 10th. And it's been wild. This hasn't been anything like this since the late 1970s when all the flaps happened around the U.S.

How many different Sasquatch are involved, you think? That's a great, great question, Nate. So if you think about the different colors and you think about, you know, people are seeing different heights, I mean, that tells you that there is, there's definitely more than one. There's either a group or there's individuals kind of moving along a route. And then that's a whole question itself because it's like, well, why are they moving all down this route? Is this a migration thing? Yeah. Are Sasquatch migratory? Right? Some people are theory, well, maybe it's an every five-year mating ritual. Who knows? I'm like, okay. Or maybe it's because the weather is so weird that they're like,

let's get out of Dodge before the tornadoes that came in with the 8-inch hail, you know, and all that crazy stuff. So there's a lot of questions that are being asked right now. Do you have reports that happen where one Sasquatch can create a lot of commotion in like a town and then it's the same squatch that's just messing out. But going rogue. Yeah. Go in rogue squashes.

Yeah. Well, that happens. You've talked to Tom Seawood. You know. Oh, yeah. I talk to him too. He's a great guy. So I'm thinking of, I was talking to my buddy Steve Culls the other day, and he was telling me about how back in the early 2000s, there was a lot of sightings of a similar Sasquatch over there in Whitehall, New York, which is a super active area. He's kind of an expert over there. But that's kind of why this is unique too, because it's like you look at the map and you can literally follow the route as it goes along. It's just super, super weird.

unique. You know, some people get really into it and they are like plotting out on a map like, okay, this happens this time of year, this year. And so you're seeing maybe certain ones show up in certain areas of the U.S. on this year or this year. But like to see it all together like this, very unique. And Jeremy, I found following here is it's like there's like three brown sightings, what they're considered brown and three that were probably black.

There's a black. There's a black shadow, right? It could be, I guess, either or, but you have this mix. Are they following a trail, like a route that would be something that would make sense? So, Luke, fantastic question. Yes, yes. You absolutely have it. So this, I've talked to a few people in the email about this.

And a lot of locals are reaching out to me and they're like, dude, the pattern that people aren't realizing yet is that this kind of follows. the Mahoning River corridor. So it's kind of like following a river. And that's not from my research. That's just from different individuals that have told me that from the area. So, you know, take that,

you know, look into it as well yourself. But that's kind of a pattern of like it's following a river corridor system in a way. Which makes sense. What you do is an animal or a person. You know, you follow the water.

follow the creeks just like the boggy creek no redheads out there no redheads no red ones uh well i mean yeah there's like uh rust rusty the lake milton one not that he's called rusty but maybe they kick those ones out right away

they just get ostracized get ginger's out of here yeah but they're the most beautiful the one that the woman saw in Alaska is she was not a red he was a beautiful red squash I think we all know

a beautiful red squash that's great So, Jeremiah, let me ask you this. The last siding that you have on this list that we just talked about was on the 10th. And as we sit here, it is Friday the 13th. Oh, it is. Interesting. Anything, you got anything pop up in your inbox? You've got anything from the site, you know, moving more in this direction, which seems to be, what is it, southeast?

Is that correct? Is it moving south-easterly? is you know is there anything is anything popped up and to you what's the latest breaking on this I know you're doing around doing some of the rounds on on some of these these big media sites talking about this story but you know we're probably what do we sit three days out from the last anything anything new or anything so yeah a little bit of explanation there about why there has been almost like there are videos a lot and stuff going on and now there's not what's going on so that's that is a question needs to

be addressed. So sometimes it feels like when you get that phone bill, it's like the crash site document. You can't read it. There's a bunch of numbers, random fees, vague language, stuff's blacked out. You're like, what am I actually paying for? I don't know about you, but I like keeping my money where I can see it.

there was an individual that reached out from the area, and his name is Glenn Adkins, with the Ohio Squatch Project local guy and a 30-year veteran with the Sasquatch research. He was a protege of Robert W. Morgan, which if you're a bigfoot nerd, you get how big a deal that is.

And so right away, we have spent hours on the phone since the 6th. And talking through what is going to be best in this situation is we decided that if because there's hundreds coming in so i'm having to weed through them all and then call people that feel where it's legit and then what i'm doing is i'm giving the information over to glen if they want to be contacted so that investigation can happen in an area without the waters being muddied because i made a video about it and then everyone's like oh yeah i saw it there too

so so it's it's kind of transitioning from a thing where where we want to make sure that the right research is happening. And that might make the news cycle not be as amazing, but the main goal is to figure out what's going on here. I haven't thought about that, Jeremiah, because this gets more and more momentum in conversation, the likelihood that you get hoaxes or people just calling into prank, is very high, right?

Because everybody kind of wants to get a piece of this. And so you've got, yeah, as a scientist, which is people may be like Bigfoot, but, you know, people that treat this subject matter, this space is scientifically, scientifically so that there's credibility, right? So this is the whole point to a lot of this. Sure. You have to treat these reports like a skeptic and also like a scientist and verify them. And I think, you know, to your point, that becomes increasingly difficult as this story gains momentum because in the age we're in, people want to. want a troll. They just want that light.

Yeah. And so, you know, I've talked, I've had over a thousand episodes on Bigfoot Society. So the way I'm looking at it through the lens of like, okay, I know how a person communicates when they have had an experience. It's different than a person is where it's like, oh, hey, it was such a fun time. Like, it's different, right? It's usually way different. So that has those hours and hours and hours of interviewing people have really paid off in the last few days big time. That's awesome.

So yeah, when's the last time something like this happened? Literally, if we're looking at like when it was, well, the equivalent, Nate, I would think would be 1978 because all the flaps were happening all over the U.S. you can pretty much look in any state in the U.S. in 1978, and there's massive Bigfoot activity, and they were called Flaps. And that's when you had, you know, when I say flap, I'm like, you know how John Keel used to go around

and document everything and like Mothman and Bigfoot and all that good stuff. But we're talking about Bigfoot specifically. Now, there have been, as I mentioned before, like, you know, Steve Coles, there was a little group of around, I think, five or six over by Whitehall. But if we're talking about something where it got, like, really intense.

And like the whole, I mean, right now it's international news. Like the whole world is looking at what's going on in Ohio. And I would say the late 70s is the last time. So our generation of Bigfooters have never experienced anything like this before. Wow. You think other than, Jeremy, other than like them like moving, let's just, let's just say this is, this is not a natural thing. And we're looking at something that sort of is an abnormal. It seems abnormal, at least from the reporting since the 70s.

Although, you know, based on what we've heard on the show, you know, a lot of, Sasquatch are pretty remote. I'd like to be left alone for the most part. And so these things could have to be, and there would be happening in other places. They could be moving like this. But as far as documented since the 70s, you know, well, other than like a weather thing, is there any other, do you know, any other hypothesis on why this is happening or why people are in, why this is happening exactly yeah there is one that freaks me out a lot as a midwestener and that is

a few people have been like well maybe it's the fault line by illinois that's that's due to go anytime i'm like dude don't even like say that because like if that happens i was done like i'm gonna see you later, you know, well, it's heaven time, really. So that's cool. But you get, you get to get all your questions answered. That's the one positive, right? That is really true. Yeah. Are you going out there? That's the one other thing that's come up, Luke. Yeah. Yeah. It's interesting. And so what I'm reading on your side here, and I know you say this anyway, but just for people listening, that based on the trajectory, you're guessing that approximately, they're moving about approximately three miles a day and that since this last in the tent that the west branch

state park the lords town corridor and milton township would have been in the range of the last few days for sightings encounters um vocalizations etc sort of any any sort of any sort of activity um and what do you what are you telling people out there to to do if they've had an encounter counter. I tell them to reach out to the site. Are they to, you know, what's the best way can, just for someone to report this and not have it get lost? And, you know, I watch, too, listen, I'm a big like true crime, Netflix, watch the, the murder dog. I was called the murder shows, right? But you realize then that when they, when there are big crimes, people get thousands of tips, right? And the job, the job of an investigator detective is to like,

some of these big high profile stuff that Elizabeth's smart, whatever it is, big kidnapping cases, there's like thousands upon thousands of, quote, tips. that come in and the job of the investigators to try to figure out what is real. Or they send those if they get. It's a great question, man. Because, yeah, at this point, and we don't know when it's going to stop.

And that's the thing, right? Which kind of freaks me out a lot. So, you know, if you're wanting to report it to Bigfoot Society directly, you can, my email is Bigfoot Society, gmail.com. There are other organizations that I'll throw out that are great researchers. I mean, you've got the BFRO. You can go to BFRO.net. You can go to whateat.org, which is the NAWAC guys out of southeast Oklahoma, but they have researchers all over the U.S.

You have a Bigfoot mapping project if you want to report it somewhere as well. But if you're trying to be like, I kind of want someone to check this out. those would be some great options. I apologize, I might be leaving someone out, and that's not on purpose. Yeah, that's how it is. Too much Bigfoot on the brain. Oh, nice, Nate.

You can't. Can't keep it all under wraps. I mean, those stories get lost, too. I mean, you get them all day long. It's going to happen. So what do you think is coming next? It's going to ramp up, or is it going to slow down? Are they moving on?

They head into Florida? Where are they going? I think there's some really interesting investigation going on right now that will be really interesting and do some really... I'm just... I can't... It's going to get weird. It's really going to get weird, guys. And I don't want to be that guy, but I just like... If we're going to keep things the investigation pure, I really can't...

but there is stuff that's being actively looked at by people right now in this area that is still happening. So it's not like, it's just like, oh, off switch. No, it's just, it's kind of in the background for a little bit. So I think that, you know, I've talked to people, a lot of researchers from the area. I think my friend Ashley Asher's was saying, you know, this can happen some years because if you follow when the mushrooms come into season that can bring it. So that's kind of interesting to think about, right? So there's all these, like, the thing is that the information is not in all one area.

And it's like, you have to get some from this guy and from this guy and like figure out what's happening. But I don't know. Some people are like, well, maybe they're going to spring break in Lake Milton. But, you know. That's funny. I tried to get this crazy lady that picks mushrooms to come on the show years ago. She wouldn't do it.

But she had all these wild. They're fun to talk to. in counters out there. Bigfoot's just tripping out in the woods just doesn't know where he is. Jeremy, one of my final questions on this one is Luzi is like what convinces you this is

legit and not this is just sort of not a coincidental string of reports. I mean, because what people will say, right? And if people will say this is ridiculous, this is misidentification or they're saying like a lot of people will say in spaces like ours is

oh, you're just finding a straight line and connected it where you want to, right? This is just, you know, you're looking at a coincidence and a bunch of misdifications that happen to draw a semi-straight line. Like, how are you convinced and what convinced you this is something that's real that's really happening? So what convinced it for me? And this is where I've had some really interesting conversations over the years with

different individuals that look at this different ways, which is great because conversations like that are healthy for everyone. and what what did it for me was when I started to talk to the witnesses over the phone, and there was visceral response in a way that I haven't heard since I've been able to interview people face-to-face in Oak Ridge, Oregon and the Williamette National Force. And I was like, there was just something there. I was like, these people are going through it. They definitely saw something, and they are.

freaked out of their mind. So for me as a person who is focusing on the human experience and helping the people, the witnesses work through their trauma, that is really what I focus on. I know there's other investigators that are like, show me tracks. And I wish we could find some really good track photos. And there might be some out there that I just haven't seen yet. I mean, there's so much, so much to this that I'm not keeping. Like, the story is living on its own now. And there are Bigfoot researcher groups from all parts of the nation gathered in this one area. And, like, it is going to be the story is going to take years to unravel of what really happened in Portage and Trumbull County in 2026.

A palpable fear. So you say, like, you see these people, like, they experienced something that, like, that legitimately scared them. I haven't seen it since Oregon. How much do you think it just gives people? permission to talk about it if it's like everyone's seeing the Ohio Squatch. It's like they feel like they come out versus like maybe Bigfoot's always up to something, but people just don't feel compelled to tell their encounter story. So I think, Nate, that that's something that's actually been happening over the last few years. And a lot of us in the community have been trying to

figure it out if it's a thing where just because there's more Bigfoot podcasts that are in the limelight that people feel, because there is a lot coming out. And, so is it that they feel empowered or is it at the point where people are like i have nothing left to lose and we're in a crazy spot as a world i need to share this and just let's have fun guys you know and like get the truth out i think it's a combination to be honest or if it just feels like it's ticking up and more people are coming then then i feel oh yeah i can talk about this i'm kind of right with you though jeremiah i think that like we've seen the show right and we cover a lot of things, not just the Bigfoot space, not as much as we did the beginning either, right?

Right, right. But I think a lot of, I think things like what everyone went through collectively in 2020 has opened a lot of people's eyes to, to, hey, listen, if this can happen, then a lot of these things that people talk about maybe, you know, are, are legit and not just relegated to the realm of conspiracy. And I think there's always that meme that says like conspiracy theorists are about in a thousand, right? like that, you know, when you need to apologize your conspiracy theorist, friend, et cetera. And there's some of that going to play, too, where people are like, you know, the things that we were told to not look at, not believe, and to sweep under the rug, maybe there's a lot more legitimacy to what's going on here.

Yeah. They're ready to talk for sure. And I think, but, you know, you kind of bring up a good point there, which is at this point where everyone knows what's going on. And it is all over the news. there, this is why, like, the investigation really needs to start to happen because there are probably people out there that are, I mean, they're putting up Bigfoot signs and they're wearing Bigfoot costumes. And I would recommend, guys, do not do that. Please, for safety, don't do it. Yeah, someone out there has a gun and it has their 30-30 and they're like, I'm going to bag this

guys. Well, we know, yeah. So we know Ohio is a very haunted place, a very placeful mounds. Is there anything associated with all the other creepy stuff that goes on in Ohio with Bigfoot sightings, you think? You said this place was steps from the water. We just haven't found the steps yet. How much did we save? Enough. Enough to get lost.

Or you could book a stay with Hilton. Welcome to your ocean front room. Just steps from the water. The Hilton sale is on now. Book on Hilton.com or the Hilton app and save up to 20. 20% to get the stay you expected. When you want savings, not surprises. It matters where you stay.

Hilton, for the stay. So are there other big facettings in Ohio? Well, I just, we know, like Fritz Zimmerman came on and talked about the ancient mounds. And he specifically has a theory that these mounds sort of manufacture cryptic creatures, which is a wild idea. But that's a long full episode, if you want to go. I'll tell you something. This actually isn't out yet, but I was talking to an individual from down in Adams County,

which is Southern Ohio by the Ohio River by the Mounds. And I was like, I actually brought that up. I was like, is this has anything to do with the Mounds? And he's like, well, actually, I was going to the Mounds. And there's a gift shop there. And lo and behold, there was a worker there. And we got talking about Bigfoot. And she was like, I got Bigfoot on my home property.

I've had investigators out three times. And like, she's working at the Mound. place. I mean, it's crazy, you know, but that southern Ohio is bonkers as well. I mean, really the whole state, if you look on BFRO or Bigfoot mapping project or Bigfoot Society citing map, I mean, Ohio is is crazy when it comes to reports. They want to be number one, Jeremiah. They want to be the number one Bigfoot. They do. And Oregon and Washington, that could be hard to get past them, but they're close. They got a pretty good strangle hold on that. But where we go? Good. The great, the great,

Sasquash migration of 2026 is underway. We're in the middle of it. Jeremiah Byron, Bigfoot Society. Just add it to the list of weird things that have already happened. I know. And we're in March. So what's coming? Are the Squatch coming out of the woods and this is their year?

Oh, boy. I guess so, dude. I don't even want to think about what might be happening in the PNW when I go out there later, man. Could get wild. Any other states like hot or just Ohio? I've been hearing So right now my focus is so like It is a thousand percent on Ohio as you can guess, right?

I've been hearing little whisperings Where people are starting to say like Oh well a lot of weird stuff's happening in Tennessee with Bigfoot too Like over in you know like was it called like middle central like salina county You know that area? Yeah And so I haven't been able to verified that

but I find it interesting that I'm starting to hear it from different places. People are like we're seeing them a lot more so I don't know guys there could be something else going on but right now it's it's so high over bust man. If it gets hot here come on down we'll go out we'll knock on some doors

we've got a very we've got a gender we can use his bait yeah and he's he's willing he's willing and able there you go and just be me and a family of red squatches and Luke would have to. You'd be gone.

I'd be like, how do I carry this blurry torch? Nates found his people. It'd be like the end of Harry and Hintnersons. It's just me waving. Yeah, right. They're all there. We just didn't see him.

Well, Jeremiah, thanks, man. It's wild. And tell our listeners where they can hang out with you and get real deep in the Bigfoot trenches. Oh, yeah, absolutely. So, guys, if you like listening to witnesses that have had Bigfoot encounters, I'm releasing right now.

It is at least five episodes a week. And so well over a thousand episodes to listen to, you can find all the links at Bigfoot Societypodcast.com, all the socials. If you have a Bigfoot siting to report that you've had an experience, please reach out to me at bigfoot society at gmail.com. It will be a few days,

but I will get back to you as I have just hundreds coming in right now. But I will make sure that I'd, do look at that email. Dude, five episodes a week. You are a machine, Jeremy. I was doing seven. You're a machine.

Dude, good for you. You get some vacation time. Hey, if you get to be weird stuff and you don't want to interview them, send them our way. Because we have. You have, actually. Have I actually? Oh, yeah, yeah.

I was looking for your email and I'm like, this is in your wheelhouse, not mine. And we're like, well, thank you, sir. Yeah. Exactly, dude. You were true. We're looking for giant encounters. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure.

Send them our way. There is a lot of those happening too. You know, it's just... Oh, really? It's just getting weird. Yeah. I mean... A lot is a relative term for Nathan Henry.

There's more than zero. So that would be a lot of giant encounters. Yeah, yeah. Just paranormal activity seems to be on the rise in terms of just the overall gauge of messages, other people posting stuff. It just seems like it's ramping up. it's pretty heavy for some reason and I don't know if

I mean you could look at it so many it's all what your worldview is is it is at the end times or is it because the Schuman resonance is going crazy and the veil is getting thinner it all depends on what your worldview is I guess but yeah it's a human is that again

I'm not an expert on it but it's called the Schumann resonance I think and it's this graph you can see and if it's like a certain color then it's like uh oh things are going to get weird So, dude. I'm just a Bigfoot guy, Nate, so.

Well, if they turn, if that migration route turns to Iowa, you may have a lot more on your hands. It'll be the field of dreams out there. I will be. Oh, man, wouldn't it though? I'm proud of you. Maybe they're just like,

you built Bigfoot Society, so here we come. Hey, this is rad too, because we kind of started our pods at around the same time, and it's been cool to be like, we did. And you've been crushing it. Working hard, you're a solo man out there

on the Bigfoot trail. And you, Yes, sir. You push through all the adversity to keep going and you did it. We're proud of you. We're fans, dude. We're big fans. Thank you.

Thank you, guys. Likewise, my friends. Yeah. And it all started with Bigfoot podcasts. It wouldn't be a blurry without someone out there. You know, Sasquatch Chronicles was pumping out stuff long before everybody. Yeah, Wes is OG. I mean, without Wes, I mean, yeah.

Who does that? It's OG, dude. Yeah. Well, I like it. Maybe what's the weirdest Bigfoot? story to end this for you over a thousand episodes. I will share the weirdest Bigfoot story. I'll share a favorite and my listeners are going to be like, I know which one. But here we go. So you know Mount Hood out in Oregon? I've climbed it twice. You've climbed Mount Hood? Twice, dude. My dude. Okay,

wow. Drop of the hat. Like, that's amazing. If you will, let me real quick. I clamped it twice with an organization that's not called Atlas Free. And we did to raise money to combat human trafficking and support. Oh, cool. Safe houses and curriculum for those that are trafficked out of there. And actually, that's how we ended up meeting the folks from Duck Dynasty climbed with John Luke Robertson. And that turned into something, you know, on our end, super cool.

But yeah, let me do it. I know this place very well. Okay. So I was going to die on that mountain. You know it. Yeah. You know it. Yeah.

So one of the weirdest stories, I've got a lot of weird stuff, that the weirdest Bigfoot story I've gotten was an individual was out there camping with his buddy at a campsite a little outside of Mount Hood. It's nighttime. They have a glow stick out. They're messing around.

They walk over to this creek area, throw the glow stick down at the creek, and they're like, oh man, I really want that glow stick back. I got to get it back. So they go and look over, see where it is. They see something that's large, some dark creature,

on the ground and they're like, is that a cougar? And then all of a sudden, the cougar turns into something like it stands up on its two legs and it's like eight to nine feet tall at least. But then here's where it gets super weird is that Bigfoot or whatever's or giant or whatever. I'm going to go with Bigfoot. It turns into a cloud of misty fog and then it goes over the creek and just, you know, the smoke monster from Lost. That's what I think we're dealing with the visual there.

But that's one of the weirdest thing. And the weird thing is that I've also heard of that happening in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. And that was an interview that happened the day after the Mount Hood interview. So that person would not have been able to hear the Mount Hood interview. And it was a weird synchronicity, dudes. Wow. Wow. Yeah.

So what did they get the clothes took back? How was it? Does it end happy? No, they were freaked out of their mind. and never went back again type deals. Leave the glow stick where it is. Yeah, leave the glow stick guys. I mean, that's like the mist, the chikina, the cloud.

The cloud, very, very biblical. Except that's what God himself and. Well, I know, but I'm just saying. Yeah, I don't know if we want to go there. No, I'm just saying it's not a story that you didn't scratch your head when you read that in the Bible. Like, what is that like? I'm not saying. There's a movie called Gorillas in the Mist.

Oh, there you go. Yeah, sure. I got injured playing that at a youth group, by the way. You did what? We played Gorillaz in the Mist, and they fogged the whole youth group room, and you had to run from one side of the other. Some, I went to the ER room. Some of the clothes lined me.

I split my head up. Stupidest game. You were the kid that got hurt. Some guy was running full speed through that room. Better safe than suit, kids. That would have been me. In a monkey suit, of all things. Not that me.

And that would have hit me. Anyway, grill is in the mist. I don't know. That's wild. I love it, dude. I've spent a lot of time at Mount Hood. I could see a place as little is different. Oh, and if I could do it.

So if people like reading stuff like that, I have a siting map on my website, Bigfoot Society Podcast.com. I have over a thousand weird reports like that where you can click on the pen, read the report, and then go to the episode to hear the interview. So if you like that,

that get right into it. Thanks, dude. This has been a Bigfoot update with Byron. Mm. No, appreciate it, man. Thank you. And keep going out there. Keep it squatchy.

I will, dude. Thanks, guys. Oh, Bigfoot migration. Heck yeah. Oh, HIO. Yeah. See you later. All right.
