War leaves scars—some you can see, some you can’t. And some remain hidden in the deep, dark jungles where the rules of reality seem to shift.In tonight’s episode, we dive into an extraordinary email from a Vietnam veteran named Roger M., a loyal listener who has carried a secret for decades. He was there. He fought in the war. And he encountered something the military told him to forget—something that wasn’t human. Roger’s story isn’t just another Bigfoot sighting. His unit faced a terrifying presence in the jungle: the Rock Apes of Vietnam. Described as bipedal, muscular, and fiercely territorial, these creatures weren’t just watching. They were fighting back. With chilling details of rock-throwing attacks, eerie vocalizations, and silent, unnatural moments deep in enemy territory, Roger’s experience raises one unsettling question—what exactly was out there with them?But Roger’s story isn’t the only one. As we peel back the layers of history and folklore, we’ll look at similar reports from the other side of the war. Vietnamese soldiers, too, whispered about the “Người Rừng” or “Forest People”—hairy, humanoid beings that didn’t seem to take sides but weren’t afraid to show their presence. Were the Rock Apes simply an undiscovered species? Or was something even more mysterious at play in the jungles of Southeast Asia?From the war-torn forests of Vietnam, we travel to the remote hills of India, where another legend lurks in the shadows—the Mande Barung. Often called “India’s Bigfoot,” this creature has been reported by locals for generations, described as a massive, upright ape-like being that roams the dense rainforests of Meghalaya. What makes the Mande Barung so fascinating? Could it be related to the creatures Roger and his fellow soldiers encountered? And why do reports of these beings appear in so many of the world’s most isolated regions?And finally, we journey into the frozen Himalayas to confront the most famous of them all—the Yeti. For centuries, stories of this towering, elusive creature have captivated explorers, monks, and mountaineers alike. From ancient Buddhist texts to modern-day footprint discoveries, the Yeti remains one of the greatest mysteries in cryptozoology. Could the legends of the Yeti and the Mande Barung connect to the Rock Apes of Vietnam? Are we looking at scattered remnants of a species that once roamed the Earth freely?Tonight, we’re unraveling the threads of a mystery that stretches across continents and centuries. A mystery that suggests the creatures of legend might not just be myths after all.Tune in—because sometimes, the truth hides in the jungle, the mountains, and the darkness of war itself.
