Summary

A man named Alex had a prolonged and terrifying encounter with what he believes to be Bigfoot. But this story is very different from what most of us are probably used to when we think of Bigfoot, and it raises questions about what Bigfoot could possibly be. During the Covid-19 lockdown, Alex needed an escape and decided to go camping in the Uwharrie National Forest by himself. The park was closed and off-limits, but he found a very isolated spot and hiked in all by himself to set up camp. Upon entering the woods, he described an electric static feeling coming over his body—a sense of crossing over a veil—and started to experience what can only be described as telepathic impressions. Over the course of the day and night, Alex experienced a series of bizarre and terrifying events that left him confused and traumatized. Only later, after researching what happened to him, did he learn that these things are all connected to sightings of Bigfoot. Everyone interviewed in this series signed a document stating that they are telling the truth, and not being deceptive in any way. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this episode.

0:00.0	Welcome to Otherworld, I'm your host Jack Wagner.
0:06.0	Today's episode is the first part of a two-part series, and these episodes revolve around
0:12.0	one of America's most prominent paranormal beliefs, Bigfoot.
0:17.0	But I think you'll find that these stories are not like your typical Bigfoot encounter.
0:22.4	In fact, our storyteller had no idea what happened to him until he got home and started
0:28.0	researching.
0:30.0	Usually, when we talk about Bigfoot or the Yeti or Sasquatch, the belief is that it's
0:35.9	an elusive primate hiding in the woods.
0:39.1	And honestly, I've always said that this belief is hardly even paranormal.
0:43.1	I mean, we discover new species all the time and are constantly learning more about our
0:47.7	world.
0:48.7	In fact, before the gorilla was officially discovered in 1847, most people didn't believe
0:54.5	it was real.
0:56.1	We have accounts of gorillas dating back to 470 BC.
0:59.9	For over 2,000 years, most of the world thought that the gorilla was just folklore.
1:07.1	In 1847, so that means we had electricity before people believed that gorillas were real.
1:14.5	That's worth keeping in mind, as you consider some of the topics we discussed in this podcast.
1:20.1	But anyway, with this story and some others like it, things seem to point towards Bigfoot
1:26.5	maybe not being something of this world at all.
1:29.8	And of course, perhaps this actually has nothing to do with Bigfoot.
1:33.2	Either way, something very strange happened to this guy in the woods.
1:38.7	This is a long story, so I'm keeping it brief, but I'll just say that this is truly one
