This story was submitted by Mason Rogers, who shares a terrifying true encounter he experienced at just 9 years old while hunting with his Grandpa on Pine Mountain Road, Baxter, Kentucky. What should have been the greatest moment of his childhood — his first big hunting trip — turned into something he and his grandfather still struggle to speak about decades later. While sitting together in a double-wide tree stand high in an old oak tree, something unseen grabbed their feet, shook the stand, and tried to rip their weapons away. What followed was a fight for survival, a face-to-face view of the creature, and a chase through the woods that neither of them will ever forget.

In tonight’s terrifying email, we hear from a listener who’s had two unforgettable encounters in the wild Yukon — 14 years apart. The first took place near Watson Lake in 2002, when two brothers trapped in a snowstorm discovered massive human-like footprints circling a cabin. What followed that night still haunts them to this day. The second encounter happened in Teslin in 2016, when the same witness and a co-worker stayed overnight at a remote tourist cabin — only to realize something was watching them from the forest. Could this be the same creature, returning after all those years? Or are there more than one of these beings roaming the Yukon wilderness?

When Darrel was only eleven years old, something stepped out of the pines across from his home in rural Maine — something that would change his life for the next thirteen years.

This chilling email takes us deep into the isolation of rural Maine — where the only thing separating Darrel’s home from the unknown was a thin wall of pine trees and courage.

Tonight’s story comes from Brent, who shares a chilling experience from deep in the Appalachian Mountains — an encounter that began with strange screams echoing across a ridge and ended with a missing phone full of evidence that should have changed the world. In 2018, Brent, his girlfriend Frankie, and his 22-year-old brother Marky — who is high-functioning Down syndrome and absolutely lives for camping — returned to a place filled with childhood memories. But what started as a sentimental trip soon spiraled into something far more terrifying. The second night brought screams unlike anything human… or animal. A harsh, guttural language echoed across the valley — arguing, communicating, responding. Wood knocks, chesty barks, and strange syllables filled the air. The next morning, the family found tree structures, tunnels, massive footprints, and the unmistakable signs of something living there — something organized… something intelligent. But the real horror began when Brent hid under a fallen log and witnessed what he could only describe as a Sasquatch family: A massive male. A broad, maternal female. Younger ones playing nearby. And an elder with a slow, shuffling gait. He filmed everything — until a bee-covered branch fell onto him, triggering a swarm attack that sent him running blindly through the forest… straight into the attention of two dark shapes following behind him. By the time he reached camp, his phone — and the footage — were gone. Weeks later, a mysterious woman called claiming her daughter had the phone… and that the pictures were worth $20,000.

In 2017, four women—Cathy, Marilyn, Jenna, and Corinne—planned a simple reunion weekend at a rented cabin overlooking Shuswap Lake, deep in the Shuswap region of BC’s Southern Interior. No husbands. No kids. Just wine, old stories, and a long-overdue chance to feel eighteen again. But on the very first night, something began watching them from the tree line. By the second night, it was circling the cabin. And on the final night… it attacked. What started as snapping twigs and distant grunts quickly escalated into something far more terrifying: The women spent a night trapped, terrified, and completely cut off from the world — no phone, no service, no escape. They all saw the same thing. They all heard the same thing. And they all left with the same question: Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cryptids-canada--7007498/support .
Tonight’s story comes from a man who almost didn’t live long enough to tell it. Back in 2005, he took his son and his grieving young nephew on what was supposed to be a healing four-day camping trip on Trout Lake, off Highway 31 in beautiful British Columbia. What happened out there changed all three of them forever. Their peaceful getaway turned into a terrifying survival ordeal when two massive Bigfoot appeared at their camp — and then turned on each other. Between the footprints, the screams, the shadows watching from the treeline, and the all-out fight that erupted only feet from their tent, this family endured one of the most intense encounters I’ve ever shared on this channel. From mysterious tree structures to eerie cries echoing across the water, to the moment both boys froze in fear as a towering creature stared at their marshmallows… this story has everything. And in a shocking twist, young Robbie later reveals he had seen the creature long before anyone else realized they weren’t alone.

Every summer, five best friends spent nearly every day together. Their favorite place in the world was a quiet stretch of river known as Twinkling Waters, where they swam, swung from a homemade rope swing, and spent carefree afternoons under the watchful eye of their friend's father. Then one day, one of the boys wandered into the woods alone. What he found watching him from only a few yards away changed everything. The following weekend, another child saw it. Moments later, all four children were running for their lives while something huge kept pace with them just inside the tree line. Even after two fathers returned armed and ready to confront whatever was stalking the children, the mystery only deepened. Was it simply an animal... Or something the locals had warned about for generations? Tonight's encounter comes from Frank near Van Buren, Missouri.

eep in the forests of northern Quebec, a police officer responded to what he thought was a simple welfare check on his elderly father. What he found instead would haunt him for the rest of his life. This story was shared with me by my father and passed down through our family. My great-uncle Darrell (name changed) described encountering multiple massive wolf-like creatures unlike anything he had ever seen during his years in law enforcement. The encounter bears striking similarities to what many now refer to as the Beast of Seven Chutes, one of Canada's most famous cryptid photographs. Was this simply a tragic misunderstanding... or was something far more terrifying waiting in the Quebec wilderness?

Six experienced hunters venture deep into the mountains of British Columbia for their annual elk and mule deer hunt. What begins as another routine trip quickly turns into something none of them can explain.

Through night vision binoculars, they watch as the creature paces back and forth, appearing agitated while answering calls coming from other ridges surrounding their camp. By sunrise, the hunters discover they may have been watched throughout the entire night.
