What happens when a group of kids on horseback stumble into a hidden meadow deep in the Sierra Nevadas — and realize they’re not alone? In this gripping episode, we speak with Loadmaster, a veteran who shares a chilling childhood encounter from the backwoods just south of Yosemite National Park. Snapped pine trees. A smell worse than death. Horses panicking beneath them. And the realization — confirmed by Native Me-Wuk elders — that they had crossed into forbidden territory.

Loadmaster recounts a terrifying moment etched into his memory for over 50 years, where the forest itself seemed to push them back. You’ll hear how journals from the 1800s spoke of “hairy men” destroying mining equipment, and why locals still avoid those uncharted hills to this day. From stories of juvenile Sasquatch sightings to tales of entire families migrating through lightning storms, this episode uncovers a side of Yosemite few have ever heard — and most are wise enough to leave alone.

But the mystery doesn’t stop there.

You’ll also hear from a woman who saw a Bigfoot from the window of a moving train in Canada at just 13 years old… a truck driver whose early-morning route through Illinois brought him face to face with something massive by the road… a camper in Northern California who heard heavy footsteps circling his tent all night… and a quiet stretch of river in South Carolina where something huge came walking out of the water.These aren’t just backwoods legends. They’re warnings.

And some places… you only find once.
