SC EP:1253 The Quantum Bridge Project
Sasquatch Chronicles
Rick writes “I was on your show about two years ago regarding my investigations into the potential paranormal aspects of the Bigfoot phenomenon. I would like to update you on my efforts (Quantum Bridge Project) and the progress we’ve made to date. As you know, I used to be the State Director for the Virginia Chapter of the Mutual UFO Network and investigated numerous UFO sighting reports to include purported “abduction” cases. I transitioned to the paranormal realm because of the apparent similarities in certain cases. I’ve been with the Center for Paranormal Research and...

SC EP:1251 Fifteen Yards Away From It
Sasquatch Chronicles
A listener writes “My name is Timothy, and I want to say how much I enjoy your show and appreciate the work you do. I’m a Seminole Native American who grew up in South Florida, right next to the Everglades. Over the years, I’ve had several paranormal experiences. One of the most striking happened in April 2021, when I had a clear, close encounter no more than 15 yards away with what I believe was a Sasquatch, or what locals call a Skunk Ape. I was out riding my four-wheeler in the woods at the time. After that, I had a few more unusual experiences in the same area with friends, though...

SC EP:1247 Naked & Afraid
Sasquatch Chronicles
Spoke to the witness and he has agreed to come on the show. A listener writes "I recently attended a meeting of my local Purple Heart chapter for combat wounded veterans. There were six of us in total three from the Global War on Terror and three Vietnam veterans. What stood out was that every Vietnam veteran who had been wounded shared that they had seen what they called a “rock ape.” As they told their stories, the rest of us those from GWOT, myself included remained quiet. After the meeting, I spoke privately with another GWOT veteran, who admitted he had also witnessed unusual...

SC EP:1243 I saw something I’ll never forget
Sasquatch Chronicles
John writes “Hey Wes, I’m writing from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I’ve been a regular listener for several years. When I was 14, back in July or August of 1994, I took my small scooter down a rough dirt road used by the local power commission to access power lines. About half a kilometer in, the terrain got too difficult to keep going, steep dips and uneven ground, so I shut the bike off to take a break. It was a warm, sunny day around midday. Out of nowhere, everything went completely silent. The best way I can describe it is like someone put ear protection over me. I had never...

SC EP:1236 The Black Cloaked Figures
Sasquatch Chronicles
Tonight we will be speaking to Seth and Seth writes "I grew up in Lynchburg, Virginia, and went to college there too. That’s where this story took place. It’s not a Bigfoot encounter at least I don’t think it is. Honestly, I’m not sure what kind of encounter it was. All I know is that it happened to me. I’ve often wished someone could explain it, tell me what it was or what it meant. It happened on October 31, 2001, under a full blue moon, along one of the quietest stretches of the Blue Ridge Parkway. At the time, I was driving a 1970 Chevy Bel Air an old steel boat of a car and I...

SC EP:1235 Strange Kansas
Sasquatch Chronicles
Tonight, we’ll be talking with Arkey from Kansas, who experienced several encounters with these creatures during the 1980s. He’ll also share details about a much more recent incident, when he was fishing and found himself roughly 70 feet away from one of these beings, describing a very unusual interaction. We’ll also hear from Will, also from Kansas, who witnessed one of these creatures cross directly in front of his vehicle. Just before that sighting, he recalls noticing something strange moving in the sky.
info_outlineJohn writes “Hey Wes, I’m writing from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I’ve been a regular listener for several years.
When I was 14, back in July or August of 1994, I took my small scooter down a rough dirt road used by the local power commission to access power lines. About half a kilometer in, the terrain got too difficult to keep going, steep dips and uneven ground, so I shut the bike off to take a break. It was a warm, sunny day around midday.
Out of nowhere, everything went completely silent. The best way I can describe it is like someone put ear protection over me. I had never experienced anything like that before.
As I looked back down the path I had just come from, I saw something I’ll never forget. About 500 feet away was a creature that looked somewhat like an African lion, but… not right. Its eyes were solid black, and it had a full mane around its head. I couldn’t see its hindquarters clearly because they were partially obscured by trees and brush. It was on all fours. The closest comparison I can make is that it resembled what some people describe as a Dogman.”
At that point in my life, I was a paperboy with excellent eyesight, and I saw all kinds of dogs on my route regularly. This was not a dog. I was absolutely terrified. There was something about it that felt wrong, almost like it didn’t belong in this world. I can still remember its mane moving slightly in the breeze and the intense, predatory stare it had locked on me.
After about 10–12 seconds of just staring at each other, I tried revving my little 70cc bike, hoping to scare it off. It didn’t react at all.
After another several seconds, it slowly backed into the woods without ever breaking eye contact. That’s when it hit me, I had to go back the same way I came. There was no other way out. I was genuinely afraid it might circle around or ambush me if I stayed any longer, so I made the decision to go. I sped past the spot as fast as that little bike would take me, pretty much expecting it to come crashing out of the woods at any moment.
About seven years later, I told a friend who lived in that area about what I saw. He told me his father had reported seeing something very similar around that same time.
For context, I later spent 10 years working as a police officer and have seen a number of unusual things during that time, some of which might be worth sharing as well.
One other detail that’s always stuck with me: around that same period in my life, I had also experimented with a Ouija board, and that led to an experience that still bothers me to this day. I’m 45 now, and it’s something I’ve never fully shaken.
If this is something you’d be interested in, I’d be happy to talk more.
Best regards,”
