What happens when two childhood friends spend decades returning to the same Michigan woods — and begin to realize they’re not the only ones out there?

In this intense and unforgettable episode, we sit down with Dean and Norm, lifelong outdoorsmen from Northern Michigan who have been encountering strange activity in the Manistee National Forest for over 45 years. From their first teenage experiences of being followed through the woods to full-body sightings and hair-raising moments at their remote cabin, their stories are as raw as they are chilling.

You’ll hear about encounters in places like Mesick, Interlochen, Ludington, and the infamous Harlan Swamp — including rock throws, massive footprints, tree structures, and the terrifying moment something lifted their trailer in the middle of the night.

But more than just the evidence, this episode dives into what it feels like to be watched in the dark... to know you’re not alone... and to keep going back anyway.

This isn’t just about Bigfoot. It’s about belief, friendship, and the deep mysteries hiding in Michigan’s wild places.
