    BWBS Ep:117 The Mothman of Point Pleasant
    Jul 6 2025
    In this episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories, we take a detour from the deep woods and follow a trail of glowing red eyes straight into the heart of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Between 1966 and 1967, something strange haunted the skies and backroads of this small town—something that defied logic and terrified everyone who laid eyes on it.

    They called it the Mothman.Described as a towering figure with massive wings and burning red eyes, this creature was more than just a strange sighting. For some, it was a warning. For others, it was a curse. And when the Silver Bridge collapsed in December of 1967, killing 46 people, many believed the Mothman had foretold the disaster—or even caused it.

    In this episode, we explore the origins of the Mothman legend, revisit the chilling eyewitness encounters that made headlines, and look at how fear, folklore, and tragedy fused into one of America’s most iconic cryptid mysteries. We also unpack the theories—ranging from secret government experiments to interdimensional visitors—and talk about how a small Appalachian town turned its nightmare into a lasting legend.

    Whether you think the Mothman is a paranormal prophet, a misunderstood creature, or just a case of mass hysteria, one thing’s for sure—once you hear the stories, you’ll never look at a dark country road the same way again.

  • BWBS Ep:116 The Beast Between the Lakes

    BWBS Ep:116 The Beast Between the Lakes
    Jul 2 2025
    In the early 1980s, a Florida family of four set out on a camping trip to the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area—and never returned. According to legend, they were attacked by a large, wolf-like creature. The father was found dead outside the RV, the mother mutilated nearby, one child torn apart inside the camper, and the other discovered high in a tree. No official reports confirm this event, but the story has taken root as one of the most unsettling pieces of American cryptid folklore.This episode explores one version of that story—possibly the most detailed account, but far from the only one. We retrace the history of Land Between the Lakes, starting with the forced removal of hundreds of families to make way for the recreation area.

    From there, we move into the eerie details of the alleged attack and the claims of a government cover-up that followed. Along the way, we examine decades of strange encounters, unexplained evidence, and witness accounts that continue to stir fear and fascination.The creature at the heart of the legend—often called the Beast of LBL, the Dogman, or simply the Monster—is described as a seven-foot-tall, muscular but lean figure with glowing red eyes and long claws.

    Stories about it stretch back over 200 years, with roots in Native American oral history. In this version, we look closely at the alleged victims: a family from Florida, including two children named Bradley and Megan, and the law enforcement officers who reportedly found the aftermath of something horrific.Some accounts mention that the case was reviewed by pathologists and examiners, but their findings were never officially released and were quickly classified. Reports speak of wounds that didn’t match any known animal, evidence that vanished into federal custody, and a rapid response that many believe suggests someone was expecting something exactly like this to happen.Even today, strange things are still reported in the northern parts of Land Between the Lakes: massive footprints, tufts of unidentified hair, signs of animal panic, and stories of electronic equipment suddenly failing.


    Those who spend time deep in the woods speak of an overwhelming sense of being watched—and sometimes, of seeing something that shouldn’t exist.Despite all of this, the U.S. Forest Service maintains that there is no verified evidence of any such creature. Official statements deny any knowledge, and the story is written off as urban legend.We don’t claim to offer proof. This episode is an exploration of a persistent and terrifying piece of American folklore. It's a story built on whispers, sightings, and the fear of what might be waiting just beyond the campfire’s glow.

    Whether it's myth, misremembered tragedy, or something far stranger, the tale of the Beast of Land Between the Lakes endures.This episode contains graphic descriptions of alleged violence, including harm to children. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

  • BWBS Ep:115 The Flatwoods Monster

    BWBS Ep:115 The Flatwoods Monster
    Jun 29 2025
    On September 12, 1952, a group of children in Braxton County, West Virginia, witnessed something that would shatter the quiet of their mountain town—a 10-foot-tall creature with glowing red eyes and a helmet-shaped head. What followed wasn’t folklore. It was one of the most thoroughly documented and chilling cryptid encounters in American history.

    In this episode, we unravel the full story of the Flatwoods Monster: a case supported not only by eyewitnesses, but by physical evidence, medical records, and official investigations. From the initial sighting of a fiery object streaking across the sky to two close encounters that left witnesses physically ill and investigators baffled, this wasn’t a hoax—it was a mystery that refused to fade. You’ll hear how a terrified group, led by a National Guardsman, came face-to-face with something that emitted toxic mist and moved in unnatural ways. We examine the physical traces left behind—radiation hotspots, metallic fragments, scorched vegetation—and the disturbing medical symptoms that followed.

    Despite explanations ranging from mass hysteria to barn owls, none have accounted for all the evidence.The Flatwoods case drew national media, Project Blue Book, and decades of scientific analysis. Modern experts have verified the trauma of the witnesses and found clues suggesting advanced technology far beyond what was available in the 1950s. To this day, the encounter remains unsolved—but not forgotten. Flatwoods now honors the event with a museum and festival, keeping alive the story of the night something not of this world may have crashed in the hills of West Virginia.
