It Wasn’t a Cougar - Oregon’s Most Terrifying Sasquatch Encounter

What happens when a Portland father joins a friend for a casual camping trip — and ends up face-to-face with something that defies reality? In this gripping episode, we sit down with John, a working-class Oregonian who thought he was spending a quiet evening in the Mount Hood National Forest... until a glowing red glow stick led to one of the most shocking Sasquatch encounters we've ever heard.

John describes a crouched, cougar-shaped creature by the creek that suddenly stood eight feet tall, revealed a glowing yellow eye, and seemed to absorb the beam from his thousand-lumen flashlight. Then — it hovered. In a story that blends spiritual fear with raw terror, John opens up about the life-changing aftermath, the dreams that followed, and the questions he still carries.

You’ll hear details from Highway 26, E Lolo Pass Road, and the deep woods near Welches, Oregon — including the haunting moment when his friend asked, “Did we see a demon?”

More than just a Bigfoot story, this is a glimpse into the unknown — and the emotional toll it takes.
